The first time I came here, I had the everything bagel, toasted with cream cheese, and I didn't hate it. The second time I came in here, I had the pastrami on rye with deli mustard, and I honestly didn't hate it I then came in a third time and had an Americano and really, truly didn't hate it. I'll say that the hunt for a truly great Pastrami sandwich in San Francisco still continues, but this is as good as it gets for little old SF. I thought that the (very good) rye bread really compliments the pastrami nicely and they definitely have the right selection of accoutrements (read Ba-Tempe Deli Mustard). The sandwiches itself did set me back $27 (ouch) but that's understandable in today's age. I hear the matzoh ball soup is pretty good here too so I plan to come in for a fourth time and try that too ;) read more

Delicious smoked salmon and quick service! The highlight of the meal was definitely the high-quality smoked salmon, impressively fresh and flavorful. It paired well with the everything bagel, which had a great crunchy-yet-light texture, though it leaned a bit too salty for my taste. I also couldn't really detect the promised sourdough flavor. The waiting area was a little chaotic with everyone standing around, but the staff prepared the food remarkably fast. At $18, it's a bit pricey, but given the premium ingredients, it feels justified. Decent experience overall! read more

Loveski - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Based on fielding the regulars in line, I went with the pastrami but without the bagel they are known for. The rye bread was sturdy but without it being overbearingly thick. The rye flavor is subtle enough for those who aren't fans, but may be too subtle for someone wanting the classic pastrami on rye. The kimchi addition is nice as I like to add kimchi to my grilled cheese. The sandwich is on the petite side so it's not quite like the NY deli sandwiches. The service is friendly and efficient. I may come back for the bagel next time... read more

Loveski - Pastrami melt - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ordered for pickup - was ready a lot quicker than I expected. Not much work was done/changed from when this was just Postscript but still like the energy in the space! Pick up was a little confusing - wish they had signage because it took us a few minutes to get help but ended up being fine. They also put our drinks in the pick up bag which threw us off at first but I loved how it was all packed in there perfectly! Bagel was okay, I got the famous yeasty bagel and some yellow onion cream cheese. Was expecting better, I don't think I would come back for a bagel again vs Boichik or Noahs. The coffee was great though - always very happy with my Postscript vanilla lattee :) read more

Loveski - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been wanting to come to the new SF Loveski--I've been to the Marin Country Mart one (but didn't have a bagel--I went with a friend when I was full and in the area!), and the SF Chronicle named Loveski the best bagel in the Bay Area. Whenever I've gone, it's been busy. This time, I ordered ahead online for pickup. They said it'd be 20 minutes when I checked earlier, but when I ordered they said 15 minutes. It ended up being less than 10 minutes--this was around 1:45pm on a Tuesday! The interior is light and airy--it's the old Postscript space! Lots of people were camped out working. My friend got an oat latte and said it was better than most oat lattes she's had. I enjoyed the "Famous" yeast bagel with miso and veg cream cheese ($7) I brought home and shared with my partner. It had a nice yeasty taste and good consistency. The cream cheese tasted artisanal (who am I kidding, the bagel tasted artisanal too.) Very friendly staff. Wonderful service. I won't swing the price point often (prices are quite steep)--but flavors, the ambiance, the service and experience, and the ingredients are indeed top-notch. read more

A bit of mob scene for breakfast, but the late lunch crowd isn't as chaotic. The menu is pretty classic, but the prices are very modern (i.e. high). While I like the food, paying nearly $30 for a sandwich (no sides) is not a sustainable lunch option. The Tribute: $28.15 for a pastrami sandwich feels a bit high, even for San Francisco. Granted, it was thick cut and nice texture, but still. The seasoning was a bit subtle on this, so it kinda bordered more on corned beef territory. Though with everything being subtle, the homemade dressing really shined and gave it a lot of personality. "Famous" Yeast Bagel w/ Herb Cream Cheese: $9.01 for a bagel and cream cheese also feels pricey. Granted, cream cheese in San Francisco is often better than NYC, since it's so artisanal. Here theirs was definitely house made, no that Philly block, with lots of fresh herbs like dill and chives. The bagel had a nice crunch on both the top side and bottom side. It wasn't as thick as typical bagels. And it did indeed have a nice yeasty taste. Smoked Salmon Seeded Everything Bagel: I know bagel & lox are pricier than just bagels & cream cheese, but $20.27 felt a tad high. However, it was really good. I appreciated the fresh dill, capers and thinly shaved shallots. Lots of flavor, along with my choice of everything bagel. The lox has high quality, no gray bits and not "fishy" tasting. Beef Dumplings: $18.01 for a pretty light portion. Present nicely with fresh dill, fresh scallions, chili crisps and sour cream. Reminded me of a fancy pelmeni. Medium thickness dough and a nice meatball-like center. Matzoh Ball Soup (Den's Way): This was a really good matzoh ball soup! All the fresh herbs really upped the game and livened things up. The two matzoh balls were dense and filling. Kinda wish they served this in proper porcelain bowls instead of a paper tub (even for orders to eat there). Strawberry Rice Crispy: This really upped the rice crispy treat game! The freeze dried strawberries added a nice pop and tang. Like the real deal, not some artificial strawberry flavor you'd get from that bright pink syrup. I totally need to try making these at home! read more

Loveski picked the ideal 'hood to open in the city: Jackson Square. Start the day off with their $7 bagel or $11 four bite breakfast burrito. Wash it down with a $22 smoothie. Opps, I mean $28 with added pea protein cuz gains. Stroll the art galleries and do some serious damage at the luxe boutiques. Then, it's time for some R&R with a $280 mani/pedi. And, off to romance the bottle and nosh on potato pillows topped with Petrovich Black Pearl Osetra Reserve Caviar at BIX! I'm not in that tax bracket so we just shared a bagel at Loveski! Last week, Chef Christopher Kostow (The Restaurant at Meadowood and Charter Oak) opened his first SF location of Loveski, a modern Jewish-style bagel shop and deli (there's also locations in Larkspur and Napa). M E N U Specialty: Montreal-style sourdough bagels boiled in honey. They have some unique schmears like yellow chive & fermented onion and miso vegetable. GF bagel and vegan cream cheese available. They also have salads, sandwiches, wraps, latkes, matzo ball soup, pastrami (not made in-house), and sweets. If you're in a rush, they have a grab 'n go section including pickle lemonade. In partnership with Postscript (previous business here), they've kept their coffee and smoothie menu. P A N T R Y Snacks, sauces, fermented products, and condiments. They even have dog treats. B A G E L S * The "Famous" Yeast Bagel w/ miso veggie schmear ($7) - Request toasted Excellent bagel with a crackly crust and chewy interior, pleasant tang and a savory umami flavor from the nutritional yeast coating. I didn't notice any sweetness from the honey, and it's less doughy than a typical New York-style bagel. The schmear was creamy smooth, and nicely dense, studded with veggies, though too mild in flavor (for me). I was expecting more miso funk, and they were skimpy on the schmear. To go, we ordered three bagels and an 8 ounce tub of plain cream cheese for $18. Much more economical. S E R V I C E Mostly friendly staff with smiles all around (they maintained most of the Postscript staff). A M B I A N C E Plenty of seating indoors with a mix of regular tables and communal high tops. Handful of tables outside. There's only one restroom which needed attention (code required). Not getting into the "best of" debate because I'm not a New Yorker, nor a Canadian but Loveski serves some damn good bagels for my personal taste preferences that's worth return visits. read more

Loveski - The "Famous" Yeast Sourdough Bagel w/ miso veggie schmear ($7) - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a cute place in Jackson Square to stop for a bite and a coffee. They took over Post Script, but they still have some fun food items that you can buy and a coffee menu. The bagel was yummy, but a bit expensive for what it was. It gets really busy in there during the weekdays around lunchtime, but I noticed that the employees take your food to you if you're lucky enough to snag a seat which is nice. read more

Loveski - Heirloom tomato bagel - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Same feel as their predecessor Postscript, but now with a deli flare. I like that they kept the cafe aspect and you can still see the roasting operation. Very crowded opening day, but easy to look at the menu, pick something from the grab and go or shop for condiments/snacks/drinks. Excited to try everything on the menu - especially the bagels. They are also still serving Postscript coffee and smoothies. Two things I grabbed as a person who loves anything pickled were the pickle lemonade and hot pickle sauce! Both tasty and have that pickle brine. Bagels have a really great chew! Lots of fun things to try. read more

Friendly staff, fast production time, and great ambiance! Came for their bagels which start with sourdough starter and are high in protein! Options from bagel sandwiches to coffee cake to chicken teriyaki bowls! Great place for brunch or a quick lunch with outdoor seating. Price is on the higher side but you can taste the quality of ingredients, they even have their own homemade sauces that you can pack up for your to go orders. I highly recommended their chili oil! read more

My partner and I always have to try new bagel shops, and this one came very highly recommended. We schlepped all the way to Jackson Square to grab some bagel sandwiches to take home for our Sunday breakfast/lunch/brunch. He got the heirloom tomato bagel sandwich on a poppy seed bagel. I ordered the smoked salmon bagel sandwich and I asked if I could sub the fermented onion spread with plain cream cheese. The cashier was more than happy to do so and I saw both on the computer display and the receipt that it was entered correctly. We must have arrived before the crowd because folks started pouring in. When our food was ready, we headed back home without checking the order. That was a mistake because, when we got home, his order was perfect and mine was missing the second most important ingredient (other than the bagel): the salmon. I received a poppy seed bagel with plain cream cheese. While edible, this was very disappointing because 1) we ordered and paid for a $17 sandwich and I got a $4 toasted bagel and schmear; and 2) this meal should last me until dinner and I'm already hungry. That being said, the bagel was very good and I will give Loveski's another chance. My partner really enjoyed the tomato bagel and was a huge fan of the tahini cookie. I will, however, be checking my order once it is in hand. read more

Great bagel and deli spot! I loved the heirloom tomato bagel on the seeded everything it was so delicious.

Its a cute market style place with seating inside and outside. read more

Just had the Reuben sandwich and wow, what a great sandwich for lunch. It had cubes of pastrami, not the typical sliced salami, and chopped kimchi which did not change the taste of an OG Reuben. The rye bread was thin and crunchy, but not too crunchy. Grabbed their iced tea which was refreshing on this heat wave day. There is ample seating inside and out but a bit busy during the lunch hour. The workers were hustling, kudos!! read more

I am gravely disappointed. I just ordered at the San Francisco store. Walked all the way home to find that my order was incomplete. I paid $14 for a bagel and simply received a toasted bagel. I am unable to walk back over to waste anymore of my time to retrieve what I actually ordered and paid for. There is no phone number to call I am just left stuck with nothing. My total order was $40 for items Which I don't mind paying for if I get what I pay for...... read more

I Loveski this place! So many of the negative reviews are about prices. We know, SF is expensive AF, especially newer establishments. We get it. If you are optimizing for deliciousness, I highly recommend this place. I have had the pastrami and egg bagel, the smoked salmon bagel and the flat white espresso. My better half had the vegan spread on the salt bagel (which the counter guy advised has a little honey, aka not vegan, so thoughtful). And she has had the chickpea salad sandwich. We both loved our orders both times. NOM NOM! Is it the canonical NYC bagel experience. Nyet! This is not H&H. It's delicious and different. For example, you can get miso butter on your bagel. That is 100% NorCal, baby. Bring those Asian influences, thank you very much. It is also a nice place to eat in. If it wasn't raining, the outdoor tables would have been delightful. read more

So disappointed as an east coaster originally lived in California for over 20 years been to all the Los Angeles staple Jewish delis langers canters etc. was so excited to maybe have something in San Francisco my home to save me from traveling to LA to get a great pastrami instead got really sad the was small tasteless and dry wrong consistency more like corned beef than pastrami. It was knife slice which I do appreciate but they didn't have anything to go with it. The bread was lackluster. I will say the bagels were good but price and execution. It just felt like something was missing. I was really hopeful and left feeling hungry and disappointed. read more

Rip off. Bagels taste stale. They also get so many orders wrong. Go here if you want to pay 20-30 bucks for a stale a** mid experience!

The Reuben is excellent. A classic with a spin adding kimchi. I got a side of mustard and their pickle hot sauce (please start selling this) from the counter and it was a great addition to the sandwich. The shop has the same set up and vibe as Postscript did--still beautiful and functional. Don't fix what ain't broken! Came here on the lunch rush and even though it was a long line almost to the door, it went quickly (15 min tops), then another 15 min to wait for food. The staff was definitely hustling! Great job. Looking forward to trying their bagels and smoothies. Also on the pricier side for lunch but a damn good sandwich. read more
