Pretty cool spot in Dogpatch! Was confusing to find (especially as I couldn't locate the review everyone referenced) but here's a step-by-step of how to find those fresh bagels: 1) Follow GPS directions to the pick up dock (2565 3rd St) which has the address denoted on the left of the large entry way 2) Walk through the big garage-like entry towards the stop sign (see photo) 3) Curve left past the stop sign until you see a grey passenger elevator on the right 4) Take the elevator up to the 3rd floor, where you walk down the hallways following the unit numbers to 308 (I believe it was down the left hallway) 5) Ring the doorbell and a nice bagel man will come let you in (and give you water while you wait) I ordered the smoked salmon bagel sandwich (chose sesame bagel) - slightly spensy but topped with pretty fresh ingredients, including red pickled (?) onion, dill fronds, capers, micro greens, tender lox and a healthy amount of cream cheese. At first bite, you can tell the bagel itself has a perfectly thick texture with a slight crisp on the outside. To be honest, by the 6th bite the toppings got to be overwhelming and I realized all I wanted was the simply iconic bagel and the cream cheese! :) Excited to have tried this mysterious bagel place (which is so clearly superior to the bagel place around the corner)!
I found this place on a Instagram reel about one of the best bagel spots in SF, so wanted to try it. At first I felt like I was Willie Wonka's factory, without the chocolate lol. It was a little confusing to find, but I called the number and the gentleman explained it right away. Here you go: Find 1176 Illinois St. the door is locked, so you will need to walk down the port (on the right of the door) all the way to the back. Go to the left inside a door. You'll get to a lobby where the elevator is. You'll recognize it when you in see a nice light fixture. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor and walk to the left until you get to suite 308. And there you go! Press the ring doorbell or just knock on the door if it's cracked open. It's an industrial building, so no place to sit and enjoy your bagels, but we were taking them togo so we could share while visiting family. I ordered everything online and it was ready when I got there. We got the bacon, egg and cheese on black sesame. And the salmon with cream cheese on sesame. Definitely get it toasted. The place is on the pricier side, but they do give you a good amount of salmon. It was honestly one of the best bagels I've had! If you're willing to go on a little adventure, I'd definitely recommend this place. Enjoy!
Came here to make a major update on my review. I went to Boichik Bagels to compare. Midnite Bagel is now officially my all time favorite bagel place in the Bay Area, and I dare to say it's the most authentic one to satisfy New Yorkers living in the Bay Area
Simply amazing! I love Midnite Bagel! If I'm at the Saturday Ferry Building Farmers' Market, it's extremely likely that I'm grabbing something from them and it's a good decision every time. My favorite thing is actually their loaves! I eat bread much more often than I eat bagels, and their sourdough loaves are large, high-quality, and have an amazing, slightly bouncy texture. All of their flavors are great -- the Buckwheat Black Sesame is my personal go-to -- and their sourdough challah is such a delicious and unique offering! Their bagels are also fantastic, of course. I like that they are sourdough, and they have that bagel chew you're looking for. Great with toppings and plain! Their Everything Cookie is hearty, and their Buckwheat Banana Muffin is huge! Their granola is also so good; again, love the sesame. I have yet to try their bagel chips or scone with coffee glaze, but, trust, I will get around to it. Finally, the staff is so so lovely! Very welcoming, sweet, and helpful. One time at the end of the market, the guy who's usually there gave me a free Everything Cookie. It's the little (and yummy) things! All in all, do check out Midnite Bagel! You literally can't go wrong.
I really enjoyed the open-faced Smoked Salmon Sandwich! The first bite was incredibly satisfying - super fresh veggies on top, and great flavors from the smoked salmon / dill / lemony onions / cucumbers and other veggies. The Smoked Salmon Sandwich portion size was also more filling than expected. I was already feeling satisfied after half of it, and barely managed to finish the entire thing by myself. At $16 currently, it's one pricey smoked salmon sandwich, but not so bad if I think about it as $8 for a satisfied belly. Next time I would split this with someone else or take half to go. The sourdough bagels themselves were okay. I tried the pumpernickel bagel for the sandwich, and also got the everything bagel and buckwheat black sesame bagel on the side. I wouldn't say they are worth a special trip out. I'm no bagel expert though - I just go by what tastes good to me and has texture I like, and these were not the best I've ever had. But I'd come back for the smoked salmon sandwich.
Midnite Bagel has been on my list ever since I saw it featured in a NY Times article about the best bagels in California. Being from New York, I've generally been disappointed by the bagels I've had in the Bay Area, but I was optimistic. We arrived around 9:30 AM on a Sunday morning and found the place surprisingly not busy. I ordered my usual - Lox, Cream Cheese, Tomato, Onion, & Capers on an Everything Bagel. My friends got a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on an Everything Bagel, an Egg and Cheese on an Everything Bagel, and an Everything Bagel with plain Cream Cheese. First off, the bagels were relatively small. They kind of reminded me of Black Seed Bagels in New York, which are marketed as "Montreal-style" bagels. But in terms of texture, we really enjoyed them. The Lox was fresh, and I liked the rest of the ingredients in my sandwich too. My friends said the egg sandwiches were delicious, but just slightly too greasy. Overall, great for the Bay Area but not quite up to New York standards!
When I learned about their closure at the end of October, I was saddened. I happpened to be in the area (11/5) and saw the door open and learned that they are still open on a weekend schedule (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) until 230pm. I scooped up a few of my favorite bialys and left very happy. Very few places make it with sliced, roasted onions. I've seen minced fresh onions and dried onion flakes, but this by far is amazing in onion aroma and flavor. If you haven't been, it's a must try--especially if you like a chewier texture in your bagel. Don't miss out!
This is a new bagel spot that opened up in the sunset area. Although they do not bake in house the bagels , pasties , cookies , and bread are great. Scrumptious and delicious Service was above and beyond even gave me a free cookie! Thank you for your kindness and the cookie was fire! I would comment back for bagel , cookies, and their bread loaves . The decor is very modern and tons of meter parking This bagel place rocks!
Sadly this place is closing on 10/30/22. Tablehopper said that the owner said that the location just wasn't conducive to selling more than bagels, which is what they needed to do. Anyway - I had been excited for this place when it initially opened 6 months ago, but just hadn't been in the neighborhood... figuring I had plenty of time - but now I didn't. Today, I hiked it on over for the experience before it was gone forever. Sunday around 10am - there was zero line. I ordered a poppy with scallion cream cheese. (and a couple bagels and bialys to go, which I have not tried yet). I lived in NYC for 10 years and I know (and love) a good bagel. There have been a few good bagel pop-ups in SF over the years, but nothing has really lasted the test of time. (and NO, Noah's bagels are NOT bagels, they are steamed rolls). This place offers an interesting derivative of having the dough be somewhat sourdough (though I didn't really taste it in the poppy flavor). When my bagel order came out it was a delight, it was warm (not "toasted", more like freshly baked outta the oven) and lightly topped with a very fresh scallion-y cream cheese. OOOH - I loved it. I am going to try and go back next weekend for another. I know they sell the breads at Bi-Rite, and maybe the bagels too - but nothing like fresh outta the oven I had today.
Their bagels remind me of New York bagels, kind of dense and chewy. I'm not really a big fan of that texture but I know that's how it's the texture is supposed to be. However, I do LOVEEE their jalapeno cream cheese and honey combination, super good! I would probably come back to buy their cream cheese alone!
3-3.5 stars, but I didn't love anything I tried so rounding down for this visit. I'm not sure why my experience was so different from the other rave reviews, and it's likely personal preference. I thought their bagels were very chewy, and on the dense side. My expectations could also be too high since I'm searching for a New York style bagel on the West Coast. Midnite Bagel has a booth at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market on Saturdays, and they are located by the front entrance on the left hand side. There was a short line at 10:30am on a Saturday, and they had their full selection of bagels available at that time. I tried: -Everything Bagel ($3, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XWExEh10DDKwxZK5RCwbmQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Everything bagels are my go to, but I thought this version was just ok. As Yelp friend D.wight L. mentioned in his review, this bagel is super aromatic, and has a strong onion/garlic smell. As mentioned above, this bagel was too dense and chewy for my preference. Worth trying once though! -Buckwheat Black Sesame ($3, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kCFMhk7oYCHA5ioltfQgLw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I liked this bagel better than the everything since the flavors were more subtle, and I thought the consistency wasn't quite as dense. The buckwheat gave it a subtle nutty flavor, and this bagel was very unique. I used my own cream cheese at home, but would want to come back and try a toasted bagel with their lox cream cheese spread. Their staff were still wearing masks although the mandate has been lifted, and they had hand sanitizer. There wasn't a designated seating area, but there were places to sit outside around the ferry building (not fancy, think cement ledges). Parking around this area can be incredibly tough during the weekends, and the metered parking spots that are closer are pricey. There are also a couple of parking garages nearby.
At Stonestown Farmers market Sundays. I noticed their kiosk recently. Bought two cinnamon raisin bagels today at $3.00 each. Very dense and chewy. Plenty of golden and dark raisins. We ate them with our cups of Joe outdoors in the sunshine at Peets.
We found Midnight Bagel at the Sunset Sunday farmers market at 37th Avenue and Ortega! also at Rainbow, Bi-Rite, Mollie Stone, Epicurean Trader... one more week to shop on Irving Street...closes Sunday 10/16.
Wonderful place - also in part since I was offered free bagels as I stumbled upon them mid-afternoon on a Friday! They make in-house cashew cream cheese. I tried looking for this magical Gabriella's review but had to wayfind on my own so adding my directions & photos in case this may help others: -Map to: 2565 3rd Street. Look for what looks like a lobby. This is a public entrance! (You will see a parklet for the museum next door as a landmark) -Go left and get on the elevator (reads: for passengers not freight) and go to 3rd floor. -Get off the elevator, go left and then turn right down a hallway. You will reach this long cross-secting hallway with many doors. Go left. -Look for Suite 308 and ring the bell! They will welcome you in :) read more

My hubby and I spotted their booth at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco and decided to stop by for breakfast. One of the staff members recommended the Salsa Seca with Jalapeño Spread. Salsa Seca translates to "dry salsa" and the bagel has a really nice kick to it! They use Sierra Nevada Cheese handmade Gina Marie Cream Cheese, roasted jalapeños and salt to season it. It's thick and creamy! One of the best bagels I've ever had, just fantastic, 5/5 stars! I would HIGHLY recommend this small business and we'll definitely be returning next time we hit up one of their farmer's markets or check out their store front! Midnite Bagel sold its first bagel in 2018. They are more healthier, easier to digest and have a great shelf life, compared to other bagels! SYOY! :-) read more

At the time of writing this review, I have only had the cinnamon raisin and sesame bagel. Finally got to try this place! Ordered a half dozen bagels and spring onion cream cheese (tub). Also decided to get lox. The bagels are definitely chewier than store-bought bagels. I love how for all the bagels I can see the flavors without having to figure out what they are. For example, the cinnamon raisin had a lot of raisins interspersed in the bagel. There wasn't any confusion on what bagel I was eating. Same with the sesame bagel--lots of sesame. I have high flavor expectations for the rest of the bagels. Love their spring onion cream cheese too. Once again, you can see what you're getting. There is a lot of chopped spring onion in the cream cheese and the flavor is really present. Always love a new bagel place in SF. Glad to have them here. read more
I'm not sure about midnite as we tried these bagels in the morning months ago, but they were pretty tasty. Slightly denser than I like and no chewiness. (Could just be a bad batch?) My husband tried their banana buckwheat muffin and thought it was pretty good. Slightly different from your "normal" banana bread in that it's less sweet, with real banana inside with grayish tone. Service was nice and efficient. Not much ambiance as we took our food to go. read more
Delicious bagels but also such a fun experience walking through the warehouse!! We probably wouldn't have found the right location if not for Gabriella's review so check that out if you're lost. You go up a service elevator and into giant food production warehouse - it was pretty cool being able to see how the bagels are made. It's also takeout only because of the location I got the onion bialy with jalapeño cream cheese and a lox sandwich - they were both so tasty and fresh! Highly recommend read more
My friend and I were craving a bomb bagel on Sunday morning. She suggested we should make the trek to Midnite Bagel, given the hype, and I'm so glad we did. We got there at like 1:30 PM and we were confused because all the chairs had already been stacked up on the tables and it looked like it was closed. They also only had Cinnamon Raisin, but we didn't sweat it and just got that toasted with cream cheese. The bagel was undoubtedly delicious and perfectly chewy. Honestly one of the best bagels I've had in California. Definitely hit the spot, though I do wish we came earlier so we had more options to choose from. read more
Yet another bagel entrant to the Ferry Building, this one only available at the Saturday farmers market. Quite a few bagel varieties. Sold for eating at home, since there is no way to heat them there. Really fresh tasting and maybe the best bagel I've had in that area. Everything Bagel w/ Cream Cheese: When you can't decide on a flavor, get them all! It was served up cold at the stand, so needed a little warming at home. I cut it in half and heated the sliced sides on a skillet until lightly toasted. Only heated the outer edges a little, so to warm it but not burn the delicate dried onion and dried garlic. Was a really great texture of chewy covered side, crispy cut side and soft inside. Love how the everything topping was generous on both the top and the bottom, lots of great flavor. The cream cheese was a bit fancier than Philadelphia from the grocery store, but wasn't quite in artisanal cheesemonger category. Garlic Bagel w/ Cream Cheese: Same compliments for base bagel texture as with the other bagels. Really appreciated the abundance of dried garlic flavoring on *both* sides. Really intense flavor for garlic lovers like myself. It was weirdly sticky though, with some of the topping coming off. But that stickiness disappeared after lightly toasting. Onion Bagel w/ Cream Cheese: Another bagel loaded with toppings. Lots of nice zing. Though it seemed like a good bit of the dried onion pieces were a bit charred. They're delicate, so that can definitely happen when baking. But still tasty. read more

We could not find this place at first. But when we did, it was a door and we had to use the doorbell. It's where they make their bagels and bread, which is really cool to see. The staff is really friendly. They were in the the process of making a new batch but we didn't want to wait. I got the everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and my bf got the poppyseed bagel with lox and scallion cream cheese. I liked his poppyseed a little more than my everything. The bagels are definitely chewy but still good! I enjoyed their scallion cream cheese. read more

I love midnite bagel!!! The staff at their booth are always so kind and fun to talk to with so much helpful info on their food. I like to get the veggie sandwich which comes with cream cheese, herby guac, pickled onions, capers, dill, olive oil, and sprouts. It's so yummy!!! Super fresh and their bagels are so chewy and yummy and i love that they have vegan cream cheese. Also they get their sprouts from another vendor which is really cool!! 10/10 recommend they're super awesome and delicious read more
I love bagels and still crave for the ones I've tried in NYC. I was looking forward to this shop opening and stopped in to buy 1/2 dozen = $17.50. The lady at the register wasn't very friendly nor did she thank me for my purchase after putting the everything and onion bagels into a box and handing it to me. Need to teach your employees some business etiquette given that there's another bagel shop a block away. Employees can make or break your business. After toasting the everything bagel, I smothered on the vegetable spread and took a bite. Each bagel is really generously covered with seeds and a hint of salt. I didn't notice any overwhelming garlic or onion scent or taste that others have described. It was one of the chewiest bagels I've eaten. The sourdough sort of hit me oddly at first, but I grew to like it. It is a very dark bagel inside and a dense bagel such that my jaw ached from chewing so much when I was done. Definitely not for someone with dentures or dental fillings that are about to fall out. I might venture in to try their bagel with lox another trip but all that chewing has worn me out for the time being. read more

I like midnite bagel personally. Of course I'm going for the breakfast sandwich and they only have 1 option: bacon egg and cheese. I'll take it, I've had it on the onion, the everything bagel. Each time, pretty greasy... maybe from the cheese? Really dense and yummy though, salty. $11 tho.. it's a treat yourself type of thing. Definitely not a frequent. read more
Overall a good sized bagel with a distinct sourdough taste that's worth a try at least once. This place didn't blow my socks off, and I'm not dying to go back but I'm glad I tried. There's also a decent selection of pastry/sweet baked goods as well as coffee/tea here to give you more options. What I ordered: Buckwheat and black sesame bagel with jalapeño cream cheese ($6): The menu doesn't really tell you how much a bagel with flavored cream cheese is, but $6 is within the $5-6 range I've come to expect from more specialty places like this. The bagel itself didn't have much height/fluffiness, and honestly didn't have distinct buckwheat or black sesame flavor and really I could only taste sourdough. That might be my fault for ordering a very flavorful cream cheese with it. The jalapeño cream cheese was very good, they didn't skimp on the jalapeño chunks and it wasn't the cheap canned jalapeños either, it seemed like maybe they pickled their own. The cream cheese itself was 4.5/5 and the bagel was a 3/5. Everything cookie ($4): Wow this was a unique cookie that will take your tastebuds on a rollercoaster. At first bite my initial thought was oatmeal raisin, but then I got the chocolate and the flavors. It's nutty, salty, fruity, truly an everything cookie. I like the nice savory elements balanced with the sweet, but I felt like the cookie had a little too much going on to feel cohesive. This was a 4/5 for me. Service was friendly and efficient. The shop itself is small but about 10 bar stool spots so it's more of a grab and go place if you're here with a party larger than 2 or 3. read more

So, I tried their product via delivery from Pastel Ventures, a delivery platform that brought it to my town for me to pick up. So can't comment on the space nor the service. Just the product, but in real life, isn't that the most important aspect? Everything Bagel (4.5*) I've had many 'everythang' bagels, but this stood out on its own. First the texture and innards of this bagel was unlike anything I've ever seen/experienced. It was really dense to cut, almost like it was going to be too tough of a chew. But after a light toast, nope it was quite the perfect chew. I mean all good bagels should have somewhat of a chew, it is the hallmark of the experience. This most certainly nailed that texture. The flavor had a slight tanginess much like an old-world sourdough. And the dough itself was very dark, much like a rye. I gotta say, I was a bit skeptical as I was prepping my morning bagel. But upon first bite, it was a truly unique bagel experience. It was like eating a bagel, interpreted by an old-world Scandinavian baker. Lol. Something I didn't expect, but totally enjoyed. Even the everything seasoning on the exterior was not like what you see anywhere else. Most place's 'everything' seasoning is really dry, the sesame seeds/poppy seeds, the onion/garlic. Here the onion and garlic seemed a bit moist even, so it really gave off an intense but delicious aroma. Even just bringing this home, my entire car smelled of onion-y, garlic-y bagels. Crazy intense. Also tried their Lox Cream Cheese Spread (4.5*) which was quite nice. A soft spreadable cream cheese, with actual nice hunks of cold smoked salmon. A generous dose of fresh dill sets off the dynamic combo with the tangy cheese and salmon. The dill again gave it a very Scandinavian flare, which I'm more than into. I threw a few capers and thin sliced red onion from my pantry to embellish on this classic. It was definitely an elevated bagel experience. And to that, gotta reward that fiver! read more
Have been a big fan of midnite bagel for awhile now. Finally checked out the factory spot for pick-up. Ordered ahead online and it was ready right on time and warm! This sandwich did not disappoint- I think I only would have wanted the onions cut into smaller pieces bc it was a little hard to eat gracefully, but the flavor was on point. read more

I have a soft spot for hard bagels. Crusty, substantial ones, more bread than fluff, with that wonderful slightly sweet-tangy chew in every bite. This is that kind of bagel. It is not the kind of bagel to let linger in the pantry or make a sandwich out of, exactly. It's more the kind of thing to appreciate open faced and fresh. As I was eating it, it honestly tasted mostly like bread. But good bread! Really good bread! The interior of the shop was cute, the service was friendly, and despite my fears of a long line, there was very little wait. I also got an everything cookie which was a bit of a disappointment. Not bad, but too heavy on the big chunks of coconut and missing that special something to make it pop. Maybe it's that the texture was a bit off? I definitely think I would come back, although these bagels are a bit too heavy and dense to feel like a regular occurrence. read more

Some said they don't boil the bagels but I personally love dense one. Bought all types of bagels and two different loafs. They were delicious! I used the load of bread for a party and it was gone in no time. read more

Some bagel stalwarts might not think this is a real bagel, but it's certainly one of the best bagels I've ever eaten. I tried the sesame and the regular bagels. Unlike your typical bagel, they are pillowy with plenty of holes distributed through the crust. They are also amazingly chewy. I have no idea how they managed to keep the sesame seeds stuck so tightly on the crust, but this is the first time I've eaten a sesame-crusted thing and really gotten the nutty, toasted flavor of the seeds. Have it with butter and salt, or avocado, or just plain. These bagels are freakin' delicious. read more

Great bagels! Chewy and fresh, even if not toasted. Everything bagel had great flavor and the cream cheese and jelly was such a good combo. Friendly staff. They also sell loaves of bread and bagels in bulk. Will definitely try getting that next time! read more
