    It's literally black.

    I ordered a turkey sandwich. It's really hard to ruin a turkey sandwich unless.... You burn the bread, KNOW that it's burnt and still serve it to a customer. Disgusting sandwich. They just don't care.

    A quick stop breakfast when you're in the go with lots of different options. I usually just stick to a classic bagel + cream cheese which is bang for buck. I do prefer veggie bagels in the morning, but their veggie bagel is really overpriced and almost 3x the price of a regular bagel + cream cheese and nearly the same price as all their lunch sandwiches. I've tried their pre-made breakfast burritos which sometimes hits the spot but other times I think it may have been sitting there awhile and is not super fresh.

    Stopped.for a toasted pastrami sandwich. The sandwich was not toasted and otherwise boating and uninspiring. The kind you prepare yourself under 2 minutes at home from cheap and generic ingredients. Not stopping by here again.

    This place is good for a quick bite. There's free internet and the food typically comes fast. Their lemon bars are pretty good but not the best. There's an assortment of food and drinks to pick from. It's open pretty late which makes it a good place to get food if you are on break for for one of your night classes at Berkeley Community College. Their bagels are either a hit or miss. Sometimes they come nicely prepared but other times they come with barely any cream cheese and unevenly spread. I attached a photo of my disappointing bagel I recei today. Update: I was on a 5 minute time restraint and starving and I knew this place was close by. Luckily, it wasn't busy so today their bagel was better prepared and pretty good. I still wish they were more friendly though. The man who made my food handed it to me without even looking at me, but he made a decent bagel with evenly spread cream cheese. The other man who rang me up didn't seem very friendly either.

    Still gulped my Thai ice tea down but this is not a medium this is a small

    It's convenient due to the fact it's next door to my School BCC. But other than that the items on the menu are over priced. Ordered a medium Thai iced tea and a raisin bagel, I was unsure if the bagel was blue berry or raisin so I asked the guy behind the counter what kind of bagel is it he had an attitude and was snappy with his reply, then, when I asked if he had strawberry cream cheese he seemed even more agitated. Oh! And the medium Thai iced tea portion cup is not a medium sized cup it's a small smh which cost me $3.50.

    This is a different bagel from the one I reviewed two years ago, and time has not treated it well…read more Today, we ordered a half dozen and cream cheese. The interior crumb had a Goldilocks structure: it was open and light, yet it bounced back when pressed and twisted. The bagels will hold shape under a sandwich without becoming dense. Unfortunately, the bagels we received were very pale and had no crust to speak of. The bagels had a gentle tang of fermentation but it was so subtle you could miss it if you weren't looking out. Doubly unfortunate was that something must have burned in the oven because all of the bagels tasted distinctly of smoke. It was unpleasant enough that we could not finish the batch. I hope that quality control steps up soon!

    This is not the bagel that garnered national acclaim any longer. It is now a refrigerator aisle…read morebagel. We ordered a half dozen plain bagels and the pink label cream cheese. The bagels were pale with uneven color that edged into greenish brown in places. When you bit in, there was no crust to speak of. It gave way to an interior that was chewy but not in the classic bagel sense of low moisture dough. Rather, it was enriched with oil or some kind of conditioner like the kind used in grocery store bagels so they stay fresh for longer. The bagel's one virtue was its flavor: it had a strong malty taste like a classic NYC recipe. The "pink label" cream cheese, however, was delightful. It had a rich flavor -- like a spoonful of yogurt, as opposed to milk -- but the effect was subtle and not overly tangy. They were the best freezer bagels I've ever had, but in the future I'll put their schmear on a fresh dozen from somewhere else.

My favorite bagel in NY is an egg everything with scallion so I ordered an eggything with chive. Glad I did because the egg and egg everything bagels were being discontinued the week after I left so the lady helping us encouraged us to buy in bulk. The bagel was delightful and chewy and the chive cream cheese was tangy and flavorful. We brought back half a dozen eggything bagels to freeze and savor on the weekends. If you're in Berkeley or the Bay Area, make a stop to check out the town and grab a bagel.

I'm very happy to report that this location has completely changed my mind and now I'm a Boichik fan through and through! I love that the first thing you see when you walk in is a giant window that lets you look into their processing area! It's great to be able to see where and how your food is being made. They also designed their customer flow very well. You walk in, turn right, and order then you circle left to the tables and pickup counter. I got a tub of their Pesto & Sundried Tomato Cream Cheese, a variety of bagels, and also a lox bagel to go.

On a recent adventure, I was in pursuit of trying to find any place in the East Bay that had the "dot cake" trend and Boichik is running a special called "Sprinkled with Pride" for Pride Month. Essentially for your matcha or cold brew, you can have it with a strawberry cream top and rainbow sprinkles. So naturally, I did a cold brew this way. In the spirit of seasonal items, I also tried the sun-dried tomato and pesto cream cheese on a toasted bagel. Highly recommend! Boichik is also doing pizza bagels I noticed which is so fun and very nostalgic for us 90s kids. Would love to try one of those on my next brekky journey out. They also offer frozen bagels, seasoning/spices, merch, and more. All in all, just a great spot with friendly smiles, quick service, and ya can't beat watching your bagels being made through the looking glass :) Street parking can be found in the area, although pending the time of day, you may need to walk a street or two over.

    This is one of the very few proper bagel shops in the East Bay. It is not just a fancy sandwich…read moreshop on circular bread. Rather, it is part of an older generation of storefronts for specialized bakeries. Bagels are baked throughout the day and poured into bins, proudly located for the customer to view and choose. And it doesn't hurt that they make a respectable bagel. The bagels proclaim themselves as New York style, and they fall on the softer end of normal variation. We ordered poppy and onion bagels today. The dough in the poppy was malty and chewy, though it did not provide much structure. You can spread cream cheese over it and tear off pieces, but it won't support an open-faced sandwich. The crust was glossy and toothsome but not crisp. The onion bagel was similar in texture but notable because the bakers roll (rehydrated?) sautéed onion into the dough. The crumb is a bit softer as a result and the flavor is sweet and complex from the onion. It's definitely worth trying here. Berkeley Bagels has been around forever and feels like a real institution. It is not part of the SF bread scene, nor the new wave of modern sandwich-focused shops. It is a dependable, better-than-average bagel made by your neighbors. What's not to love?

The coffee and tea were WAY too sweet, it felt like we were drinking liquid sugar. The bagel was alright, but the slices of tomato and cucumber were very thick and it wasn't appetizing as they kept falling out and making the bagel mushy. The kebab plate had a melted salad dressing container in it, and the melted plastic got on some of the chicken, which made it inedible. I'm not sure if they were just having a bad day or if staff was overwhelmed, but overall it was a bad experience.
