The bagels are okay. I was expecting a bit more from other reviews. for two bagel sandwiches it ended up around 20, which is a bit much for me. The service is nice and food comes out quickly. read more

Levy's is my GO-TO bagel spot! I always order over the phone and my morning star breakfast bagel is always hot and ready and made to my liking when I arrive! The best bagels and the best team with the same familiar faces for years! read more

This is a small gem of a deli type establishment, right next to Starbucks. And unless you're after a specialty drink I'd avoid Starbucks as service is way below par. I had been going to Starbucks and just became tired of lines and bad service so I tried Levy's bagels and what a relief. No lines, friendly efficient service and I can get a good quality toasted bagel with cream cheese at no time flat. Plus there's a coffee bar and no need to deal with anything more if all you're needing is a good 'cup of joe'. So the times I'm in the hood and needing to get the office quickly I jump in here and get all I need to start the day! read more

Friendly staff. The bagels are kind of wack though. The French toast bagel is just a cinnamon sugared bagel...so just call it that. Its not dipped in egg, fried, topped with syrup and powdered sugar... its just not a French toast bagel. Eggs and bacon are microwaved. For me..this was like the 7-eleven of bagels. There are plenty of other shops that are better honestly. I just came here to try the "french toast " bagel and left with a basic everything bagel. No fluf or even crunchiness. If you're an east coaster...this spot isn't for you. read more

Maybe I have high standards from living in the mainland for college.. But I do think of myself as a bagel connoisseur! The bagels were very good.. The chicken salad was well. The breakfast bagels weren't it.. the egg was really thick but not seasoned well so it just tasted very bland. read more

Their bagels are the best! Love their BEC and lox breakfast bagels! They are my go-to!

How can you sell bagels and only offer low fat cream cheese? Ridiculous. First, fat is not bad for you and our bodies need it. Low fat products remove fat (and flavor and texture) and replace it with sugar or other carbohydrates, which are far worse. https://www.houstonmethodist.org/blog/articles/2020/jan/dont-be-fooled-by-low-fat-foods/ Otherwise, one woman was a little short, but not unfriendly. The other woman was nice, and more helpful. The open faced lox sandwich was tasty. The lox was fresh. The bagel was slightly over done for my liking, but I forgot to ask for it lightly toasted. The onions were nicely thin. read more

Lovely owners We get a dozen bagels every week for the office. They're always waiting for me to pick up and Sam even calls to remind me.

The service is friendly and helpful (being a first timer not knowing what I wanted). The quality is great! The bagels toasted to perfection and the filling are on the same level. So much better than the Starbucks next door. They have wifi, but no outlets. Study desks and chairs. I would definitely be back! read more

I was craving a bagel with cream cheese and vegis, went here and on their menu they had a bagel sandwich with cheese, which I ordered. I asked for cream cheese for the cheese, and was told that this sandwich comes with a slice of cheese, and if I wanted cream cheese I'd have to order a bagel with cream cheese then pay extra for the vegis, so it would be a lot more expensive. So I got the sandwich with sliced cheese, and it was the cheap kind in plastic wrap. I wasn't happy they were strict about the cheese and I didn't enjoy my order. read more

The best bagel shop in Alameda. Plenty of options, great tasting bagels( nice bite with perfect soft interior), and good location next to Starbucks to grab a bagel and coffee. Expect a 5-10min wait. read more

This place is awesome. Great bagel sandwiches, and friendly staff. It's my new favorite spot in Alameda. Also the pastrami on homemade rye bread is really good. read more

Love this place. I'm from New York and I really miss getting a New York style bagel out here in California. Levy's comes really close. I come by here a couple times a month. They are always really nice and work fast. Definitely a favorite place on the island. read more

BIG BEAUTIFUL DELICIOUS CROISSANTS, and very nice couple working the counter. Breakfast sandwich came out fast.

Solid bagels and sandwiches for the price. Quick service as well! Lox bagel looked great but I got the morning star (basically everything you want in a breakfast sandwich eggs cheese and choice of meat). read more

Actual real bagels as opposed to the round bread with a hole in it that they sell at the chain spaces and local donut shops, Peerless Coffee, great sandwiches, challah that you can order ahead . Nice people and great customer service Their dough supplier was late yesterday and they couldn't have my loaf ready until noon and I couldn't come back until the next day. The manager was profusely apologetic and left a message that they'd have 2 loaves for me in the morning, and Sam called to follow up. Give them your money. -Juba K. read more

I love their lox bagels, so satisfying rich and indulgent for a weekend breakfast. I always get a lox bagel on onion or garlic with jalapeño cream cheese. Consistently good every time read more

I was supporting this business I spend money almost every weekend until yesterday when the owner let a man cut the whole line n helped him when I made a comment the man insulted me with racist words I think it was a race thing will not be back again!!! Worst experience ever !!!I will be sharing this experience with my office n coworkers read more

Pretty good bagel sandwiches when I don't want to pay Beauty Bagel prices or wait in line. Usually get the morning star bagel sandwich. Lowered my rating because I ordered a lox sandwich and after a few bites noticed it smelled past it's due date. My bowels confirmed later that the lox was expired. read more

I just moved to town with my husband who used to live here. He kept raving about this bagel shop and At first I brushed it off thinking he was being dramatic. He took me there the day after we arrived here for breakfast and I the Hampton in whole wheat and OH MY GOD he was not kidding. It was actually the most delicious bagel I have ever tasted. The sandwich all together was amazing. But the bagel really was the star of the show. I will definitely be back again very soon. Highly recommend you come check them out. read more

The bagel sandwiches are filling and delicious. Try the roasted turkey with cheese. The restaurant is clean and the staff was friendly. They made our bagel sandwiches rather quickly and came out just as we ordered them. My only suggestion is for them to have a more diverse menu in the offerings of types of sandwiches. It's mostly different versions of turkey or ham. Recommend when in the area, a much better alternative to food next door at Starbucks. And they have private parking! read more

It's hard to find a good bagel shop that's not a well known franchise. The ladies here work quick to get orders out. My coworkers and myself were here for about 10 minutes and I was amazed to see a number of people walking in to order, with a Starbucks right next door. I ordered the morning star with ham on a whole wheat bagel. The bagel was really soft, not hard as most bagels usually are. This made it so much easier to eat. Not usually in this area, but if I am, this will be a go to spot for bagels. read more

Hot link bagels are the best my kids love this place make sure your there early they usually sold out by noon

Levy's recently opened in the Togo spot. eats: 2 bagels to go. (garlic, onions @.95) -toasted them at home. seem ok. maybe san ramon's had more texture. crumbs: -smiling service -sammies, pastries also available -parking lot, cars waiting for available parking. read more

3/7/15: Your standard bagel store. Nothing extraordinary. Solid bagels and food, though toasted stuff seem to usually come out slightly burnt (on purpose?). 1. Bagel w/ Egg, Cheese $3.25: You get to pick your bagel of their medium-sized selection (~10 choices or so?). The bagel itself tastes like a standard fresh bagel. No extraordinary texture or anything. As noted above, the top is burnt (see my pics). I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that this would be their "signature" but I personally don't like it. Tastes too charred. And yeah, as described, it has egg and cheese. It's about what you'd expect. At least they don't gouge you on price. 5/10. 2. Log Bagel or Sandwich? $5.45 / $7.25: I ordered the "bagel" but they might have wrote me down for the sandwich. Not sure cause I didn't pay. Anyway, same deal as the egg & cheese bagel. Burnt on top. They do put in tons of cream cheese. Good amount of salmon and capers. 5/10. So, if you like your bagel sandwiches burnt on top, cool. If not, maybe get them somewhere else. Otherwise a pretty typical place. 3/5. #bagel #sandwich read more

These are not even close to New York bagels. These are good if you like California bagels I guess. I don't like California bagels. Very disappointed. They're just meh. This is a review from my tasting 2 years ago though. read more

Walking to Starbies which is next door and decided to give this place a try. Glad I did. First of all, the owner is extremely friendly and generous. She shared how the bagels are made (boiled, etc). Ordered a Sunshine something or the other bagel (egg, ham, cheese). As I waited, a customer walked in wanting a chocolate chip cookie and the owner offered him a cookie that had been a bit over baked (completely edible) on the house. She turned to me and offered me one too! I accepted a peanut butter cookie....oh my...it was amazingly deeeeelicious!!! Took my breakfast bagel to go and ay, ay, ay...so good! Too bad I don't live closer because I would definitely go back more often. *Great customer service! *Delicious cookies! *Yummy bagels! *Win, win, win! read more

I came here looking to see whats around Alameda college since I spend wayyy too much time on the other side of the bridge to begin with anyway... I've read previous reviews of this place being messy when busy and also sloppy when prepping... if you take one step in here now. It looks. Nothing like the sort.. Their one noticeable weak spot during the heatwave of 9/6-9/9 is that when the door is open. The ac system isn't strong enough to compensate. But in terms of freshness. You'll get s chance to see their process whether you came here on a slow day or busy day. You just need to know which direction to look from a customers angle. If you need help..Look left...(+1) Aside from Sam, I notice the majority of the workers are very competent and polite females. That's a rarity given that a lot of the workers at chain stores like posh and Noah's look drained of energy and "would rather be anywhere but here right now" 2.35 for plain bagel w/ C.C 2.85 for other options. Not bad huh? More affordable than the standard menu at McDonalds and In and out ! (+1).. P.S I see the old school apple juice bottles with the plastic cap... There a few fresh pastries located in the display unit by the register that you won't find just anywhere. P.O.S systems are pretty much up to standard, no paper writers...all digital besides the receipt...that's going away next too haha...(+1) Parking is free and in a plaza so that's no issue either..(+1) read more

What can i say about this place? First of all, the owners are great. I'm always here early mornings for some coffee and a sandwich to start off my day. It has a very nice atmosphere. Big windows and fresh baked goods. Try getting my favorite order: The Greenwich Sandwich with smoked Salmon, a side of potato Salad and a drink of your choice. The workers are nice and attentive. I just paid $9~$10 for the Greenwich with salmon and a bottle of water. You can also get access to wifi from either Starbucks or fedex nearby! The wonders! read more

Levy's Bagels - The Greenwich Sandwich. The usual with no mayo, forgot the provolone, and added smoked salmon! Yum - Bagels Near Me - Alameda, California

Ambiance: Cute, quaint, clean~ Service: Quick. Friendly. Great! Food: Greenwich Special - Yummmmy vegetarian sandwich. Lots of sprouts, avocado, onion, tomatoes, and other green goodies. I got this on a pumpernickel bagel and it was superb! Perfect size and filling~! I highly recommend this sandwich! Price: ~$5-6 Conclusion: Delicious! Better sandwiches than Starbucks next door for the same price! read more

I always see Levy's bagel co on my way to work. Decided to stop and try it. Customer service: ok I got the breakfast sandwich that has meat egg and cheese in it. Tried to add tomato and onions but he was going to charge me $1.20 more. The bagel was already 5.25 The bagel was really dry, no mayo no condiments on it. It's safe to say I'm not going to stop here before going to work ever again. Mediocre food, service, and quality. read more

I've been here about 10 times already, and still, each time, the bagels are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The shop is small with only a few tables seated for two and one for four. Usually, I get a Sourdough bagel with cream cheese. It tasted amazing with the perfect amount of the crunchiness of the bagel, with the sourness and softness of the cream cheese. It's also very cheap. One of the bagels I just ordered is $2.52. read more

I've been to Levy's a few times. Having moved here from the Northeast and experienced plenty of legit NY bagels, here's my stance on Levy's : much better than Dunkin donuts/Starbucks/Peet's, etc. but not on the level of a NY bagel. Still, this may be the best bagel in Alameda. There is one place slightly better in Oakland with a couple locations, but the price is higher as well. read more

Since my last review, this is still my go to place for bagels. They have the BEST bagels in town, because they are so crunchy. This is the ONLY place that I've ever been to that has such crunchy bagels #TheCrunchIsOnPoint Can't stress that enough. read more

The staff are prompt and professional, their food is fresh. Only bad comment would be they run out of Salt Bagels to quickly.

This place is doing business in spite of itself. I have been there at least 5 different times to buy a salt bagel and not once have they had any. The bagels are delicious, the owners have no idea how to run a business to satisfy customers. When I ask about salt bagels they simply say they ran out. I will never go here again. I would also recommend changing the flow of customers. Having people waiting in line blocking items for purchase is defeatist and quite annoying from a customers perspective. read more
