Pretty good bagel spot, tried the lox bagel. Not much room inside to sit down so I would anticipate a grab and go situation. I would come back to try some actual breads and other baked goods as I suspect that may be where they shine more. It was cool to see them prep the dough inside!

Came for some bagels while we waited for rhe 49er shuttle to take us to the game. And OMG!!! The bagels we the ABSOLUTE best I've ever had. They beat all bagels places in SF for me. I mean of course it's the best it owned by Tony G. I will most definitely be coming back to order some bagels to take home.

Good bagels, baguettes and other breads, friendly service, vintage olde-fashioned early 1900s decor. This spot is owned by famous Pizzalolo Tony Gemniani. The bagel flavors on hand included: poppyseed, plain, sesame, onion, and an asiago & japaleno bagel. They aren't the mega-sized bagels you see at a local blue-logo megabagel chain, but just a little smaller and very comparable in taste and texture to them. They satisfy the need. Plain cream cheese on your bagel is $1 extra. All cheeses are available in little to-go condiment cups as well. Special flavors such as strawberry or scallion cream cheese are $1.50. They'll slice and toast your bagel at no extra charge. Lots of little tables outside on the sidewalk and parklet to enjoy your meal. Not a bad place for a bagel or to pick up your daily baguette!

I stopped by because I was looking for a good and trusty bagel place in the city. This place is affiliated with Tony's Pizza, so I assumed the dough is incredible. We got the asiago and jalapeno bagel, as well as a rosemary piattina. The bagel was just okay. Nothing spectacular to report, but it wasn't horrible. The piattina was difficult to eat. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was definitely not something I would return for. The ambiance in here is very cute! I like the open kitchen type concept. The service was pretty quick and friendly.

Debuted at the end of the pandemic in response to an ethnic slur Dago Bagel from Tony Gemignani is one of 3 concepts inhabiting 728 Vallejo Street, and from Thursday to Sunday beginning at 8:00am guests are welcome to enjoy everything from true New York Style Bagels to house-made loaves and traditional Italian Pastries made with skill and love. Liberally using Malt and a Cuppone Panettone deck oven imported from Italy, plus stone-ground Flour made on-site, visitors attention is next drawn to Toscano Brothers including "Gold Standard" Baguettes and Organic Sourdough Ace Pagnotta incorporating Spelt, Rosemary and Olives into a 40+ year old Sourdough starter. Trending sweet from here, a Sour Cherry and Chocolate Batard souring local produce and TCHO Chocolate, Tony's "Piattina" cuts a wide swath of textures and flavors before Antonio's Italians Pastries rounds things out with Rainbow Cookies and delectable Lemon Ricotta Cake plus creamy Budino hidden alongside Prosciutto, Salami and Mortadella in the cold case.

Everything Bagel Scallion Cream Cheese
Joyce S.

When I read the article that famous Tony's pizza opened a bakery. I love a good bagel with cream cheese. I had to stop by to try an everything bagel with vanilla latte. Best almond vanilla latte ever. Perfectly roasted espresso with tad of sweetness. The bagel was warmed and soft Crispy top with fluffy inside with smear of scallion cream cheese. Perfect combo. Must stop if you are in north beach or Chinatown area. Parking garage on both side of the street. There is park let to sit in. Friendly and helpful staff. You can buy a small or large cream cheese container.

Delicious Bagels! I am former New Yorker who has the nasty habit of complaining and putting down the quality and authenticity of every bagel I try here in the Bay Area! My favorite phrase is, "This is not a real bagel!!" To be fair sometimes I am being a snub, but if you you have ever tried a true NY bagel, you will probably agree with me. Today a friend of mine suggested we give Toscano Brothers bakery a visit, because he claimed they have the best bagel in town! I thought to myself, "Oh brother, how am I going to control my response after the first bite and do not offend him?!" Well, to my relief and pleasant surprise, I did not have to worry about that at all! We decided to share a bagel and just so that I could try one. Nothing special on it, just cream cheese! I took a my first bite and I was sold. It was the best bagel I have tried in San Francisco! I had a belly full of brunch which we had earlier, so I could not possibly try any other items and I did not want to buy something and let it sit and get stale. For that reason, I will be going back to Toscano Brothers soon to have another bagel and perhaps try a couple of other items!

Rainbow Cookie

When I first visited a little after their opening, it was a pretty specialized offering with just bagels and baguettes. Can't say either really blew me away. But I revisited before writing this review, after they added some sweets, and went away quite impressed with how far they've come. Detroit Bagel: This was pretty cool, never seem anything like it before. It's like they took a plain cooked bagel then put it in a little square pan with tons of cheese and baked on a bottom of cheese. I guess it's Detroit in the spirit of Detroit pizzas that are also encrusted with cheese. Except the cheese on the bottom of this bagel didn't seem browned at all. Just like melted and cooled. Might be better if they crisped it a bit. Prosciutto Sandwich: Seemed like they wanted to entice people to buy a baguette, so they put a very thin layer of cheese and very thin layer of prosciutto in the middle. It wasn't terrible sandwich-like, more like bread with a little extra stuff. They could definitely use more meat and cheese. And baguette was just alright. Kinda chewy and not that crusty; I prefer Acme's baguettes more. Onion Bagel w/ Cream Cheese, Lox, Onions, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Capers: Came as a to-go kit, which at first I was a little annoyed that I had to assemble it myself at home, but then I realized the portion was much larger than when bagel shops make it for you. Like maybe 1.5x the salmon and cream cheese, so it's worth the manual exertion. The bagel was a bit smaller than other bagels, but had a good chewy exterior and interior. I really liked the cream cheese since it was so light and fluffy. The rest of the toppings were nice. Though the tomatoes could have a been a bit more heirloom, given how close they are to the farmers market. And maybe some fresh dill would have been nice? Garlic Sesame Flatbread: This was really unique, I can't say I've had anything like this before. It was like a gigantic cracker, but a little chewy in the middle. About the size of a large pizza, but really thin. It seemed to be made of a bunch of thin strands of dough that bake up to be like thin crunchy breadsticks next to each other. And there's some sweet glaze on top, maybe honey, which makes it a little sticky. Really cool. Rainbow Cookie: I'm kinda shocked that more places in North Beach don't make this delicious sweet. Theirs tasted so fresh with each cakey layer being fluffy with a nice almond taste. The raspberry layers in between were a tad too skimpy for my tastes, but the cookie overall was just so delicious I let that pass. Shortbread: A very fancy shortbread with a grid pattern of green and pink squares. Kinda tasted nutty (green) and fruity (pink), so was much more interesting than a normal shortbread. Very buttery on the white/yellow parts. Sfogliatella: Looked like a chocolate croissant, but had an amazing crunchy shell. And the filling was much denser than a chocolate croissant, with huge amounts of their chocolate hazelnut mixture. Truly a great pairing with morning coffee.

I'll admit, my database for bagel information isn't vast. But I know something tasty once I put it in my mouth. I've had the cheese and Serano bagel twice and I really forgot how spicy it was. Had the scallion cream cheese with it this time and that spread really has got the goods. Smear that guy on whatever and it's going to take it up a couple notches. But it's perfect for a bagel. I also had this long/round thing sweet/savory thing. They've told me the name of it like 4 times when I've asked and I'm still not even close. It's an Italian word. It's a freakin' sleeper. This spot is also one of Tony Gemignani's places. If Tony sees any of my reviews tell him to call me. I'm Tony's biggest fan and I think we could be really good friends. On the subject of Dago bagel though let's keep this simple. Try not to say the word "Dago." And if you like bagels go to this place. It's legit. They also got some nice other sweet treats. Stamp of approval. Holla at me Tony. (4.5 Stars)

Got a delicious sandwich with cheese and prosciutto. It was Italian perfection! It didn't have any extra things, it just let the simple ingredients speak for themselves. Give me a great loaf of bread, some meat and cheese, and I'm a happy man!

Chocolate chip sour cherry sourdough
Shirley N.

Dago Bagels were everywhere on mass media recently, and Tony himself was interviewed to explain why his bagel shop was so named. After watching the interview I wanted to give his bagels a try. I'm not in the North Beach area much so this morning I made a conscious effort to swing by as hubby had an appointment in SOMA later in the morning. Detour!! Being Sunday morning I thought traffic be light and parking be plenty. Nope. Many parking spaces have been converted into parklets. As I drove by the bakery I noticed a front door parking space with the curb painted red. Reserved for SFPD as the North Beach police station is only a few doors up. What the heck. I'm feeling confident. I'll just be a couple of minutes. Well, due to COVID 19, only 2 customers inside at a time. And the customers were very talkative with Tony. But I'm next. I'm still feeling confident as hubby is riding shotgun. I noticed a patrol car driving by towards the station, but I'm fine. The 2 ladies leave. Now it's my turn. I asked which bagels were the top sellers. Tony & staff said the everything bagel. O.k. two of those please, and Tony & staff said the salted one also popular. O.k. one of those too. And the chocolate chip sour cherry sourdough loaf. O.k. $21 later. We brought our purchase home later and had the bagels plain. No butter, no cream cheese, no lox. Nothing. The bagels were soft and chewy. Nice texture. The chocolate chip sour cherry sourdough bread was very soft. Sweet, salty, and sour tasting. I'm glad I had a chance to try the bagels and the bread. Until my next detour.

We stopped by on our way to check out China Town because my son loves bagels and it was across the street. My son compares all bagels to NY bagels and he gave this a 7 out of 10. I thought the storefront was really cute, and the cashier was friendly.

Hallelujah was my first word when I reached the order counter. I've made several walk-bys but never got to try their sandwiches as they were always sold out. On a pre-holiday Friday morning, I walked in and exclaimed "Hallelujah!" upon seeing this (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7BSOiz-BSkRLwoyZNM4NlQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). After learning their three menu choices, I decided to try two of them. I brought them to the office and wanted to try them while fresh while still being able to fit through the door so I cut each in half. I tried the prosciutto sandwich (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0Uu2uc-Od0LdF5_NIhNfhQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and a puzzled expression hit my face; I was mixed in this first bite, used to eating fully loaded sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. This was two sides of a baguette like bread with an olive oil spread, meat, and cheese; and it grew on me. With each bite, I appreciated the funk of the prosciutto and the fragrant flavor from the cheese, each being so unique. I was satisfied so I tried the smaller half of my salami sandwich (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=B16Nq94QgruKnHbMPJ4p2A&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) next; I enjoyed this as much as the prosciutto with the meat flavor being the only difference. Again, it was not a supermarket grade salami and I certainly tasted it. The other halves of the sandwiches became my breakfasts for the next two days. I wrapped them tightly in plastic wrap and replaced them in their wrapping; do keep them in a cool dry place and definitely refrigerate if your kitchen is humid. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to try these and, though tempted by the 3rd meat choice mortadella, I'll likely stick with these two if the stars align again.

Everything Bagel ($2.75)- 4/5 stars, Rainbow Cookie ($3)- 3.5/5 stars, Spumoni Cookie ($1.25)- 4/5 stars

Me and a friend went here on a Friday (in April - the menus change monthly). The owner requested…read morethat lineups start after 7:45 - we got there at about 7:50 AM and there was already about half a block's worth of line. Once the bakery opened at 9 AM the line moved fairly fast, but by opening time the line was down two blocks and wrapped around out of sight. We'd heard about B&C lines but even this on a weekday morning was surprising. Overall the pastries were very good, I will say that the savory pastries rank higher here than anywhere else I've been, but the sweet pastries don't. We got the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin, Lemon Bluberry Bun, Potato Artichoke Croquiche, Bacon Egg & Cheese, and Sam's Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake. The Croquiche was my favorite of all of them, and it was great warm, with a nice creamy filling. From the sweet pastries, my favorite was the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin - the rhubarb taste wasn't very strong but it was overall flaky, not too dry (even when eating it later in the day), and the cinnamon coating also didn't clash with the strawberry, vanilla, and orange. Least favorite was the olive oil cake; it was slightly bitter and the olive oil taste was dominating. These pastries are very large. Split between 2 people 3 of them were enough for us to be so full we saved the rest for later. I also got the Brown Butter Butterscotch Latte (iced), I'm not usually a fan of coffee but it was really good (it's very sweet so as a non-coffee drinker that worked out for me - the syrups overpower the coffee taste). The inside is cute with a pastel pink theme, we were able to snag the two seats by the window. I also liked the merch for sale and got a small print of the storefront. Definitely worth going too once, but due to the line I probably won't return until a monthly menu comes out that has a lot of things I desperately want to try. It's a top 3 bakery in SF for sure.

What was unacceptable was the fact that they, after waiting in the line, took our order and then we had to wait longer for them to make it. Minutes into that second wait, they called us up to inform us that the items they collected our money for ran out. What would we like instead? All that seems rather odd. Why take my money if you don't have it? Furthermore, is the best form of compensation just simply "what would you like instead?" Not exactly customer service oriented and lack of customer love.

I could see the balloon that held all of the anticipated excitement my husband had of showing me a "new" spot (it was new to me) all but heartbreakingly deflate. Sigh. Not wanting that crestfallen look to prevail, I told him we'd try again. A hole in the wall that is takeout only, the customarily drab sunset weather doesn't do the vibe any favors out here. When it's overcast & cold outside, does anyone want cold pineapple buns to go with it? That was my first experience, so I was curious about how the do over was going to go. Night & day... Yelpess with the mostess Cherylynn was spot on when she said the buns need to be warm & eaten asap. This is key to experiencing a stellar treat over a humdrum one. On our 2nd visit they were hot. They were pillowy. They were divine. Gloomy sunset weather? It could be RAINING outside & I wouldn't care right now. It was a total 180. Butter. Do it! I suggest you go for the gold, kerrygold Irish butter. Matcha. I love matcha so it's an automatic order but it's a definite winner. Not too sweet, because matcha isn't naturally sweet. Custard. Hubby's favorite. He's a vanilla head, so... Salted egg yolk. Hubby's other favorite. I like, he loves. Ube. WOW. Better than the matcha which is weird coming from me. The Ube filling BAKES INTO the interior & it is amazing! I wished I'd gotten 6 of these. The puffs. How friggin adorable. Just throw in 6 puffs. Or 18. Then dip them in the side of custard that comes with. If you get extra to take home (& you should), all you have to do is be sure to reheat them as per the directions on the box. Just place them on a baking sheet lined with foil, or an oven rack (I've done both, both work), at 325 for around 10 minutes. I think 12-15 minutes is actually ideal. I couldn't believe how soft they were after this. Like new! The next day, after being refrigerated all night! I know weird, but fact! A couple of days later I requested that we go again next Saturday. Like when you were a kid & you couldn't wait for Friday because Friday's were pizza night. That crestfallen look my husband had was replaced with delighted satisfaction. Glee even. We went again the following Saturday. 5 stars

When my wife and I started planning our leisurely drive to San Francisco, we intended to visit two…read morebakeries, Tartine and Arizmendi, with the goal of purchasing scones and other pastries/desserts. Our cousins were familiar with both bakeries and graciously volunteered to be our foodie guides as we drove to these two bakeries Saturday morning. After visiting Tartine and B Patisserie, Arizmendi was our final bakery and our last stop on our Bay Area foodie tour. Just like the other two bakeries, Arizmendi was a popular destination, it was different than the other two in the selection of the pastries, and I highly recommend their corn cranberry scone and their cheese focaccia. Arizmendi is also located in the Mission District specifically on Valenica and 24th Street. The bakery is in between a Royal gas station and the KitTea Cat Lounge. Parking consists of street parking and just like the other bakeries, parking could be challenging, but Arizmendi is worth the trouble parking and walking to this confectionary paradise. This bakery is a business where their baked goods are enjoyed at home since there is minimal seating. What's unique about this bakery compared to the other two is how the baked goodies are selected. It is self serve where it's a little hectic trying to maneuver around other customers to pick the pastries and breads you desire. The young black lady behind the register who checked us out was courteous, friendly, and took care of us quickly. As you enter Arizmendi, there are four wooden display cases with plexiglass holding scones, cinnamon rolls, muffins, pies, croissants, focaccia, cookies, and shortbreads. As you peer through the plexiglass to decide what to select, make sure to grab the provided wax to pick up your baked goods and place them in the provided bags. One of our friends asked us to grab scones, so scones were one of the items we knew we were going to purchase. My wife selected other items, but I asked her for a focaccia because my cousin said that Arizmendi was know for their pizza breads. I highly recommend you purchase their corn cranberry scones. These scones are hearty, the cranberry is plentiful, and I really enjoyed these while I was drinking a coffee at home. The focaccia I picked was a cheese focaccia made with poblanos, kale, and queso fresco. That square pizza bread was a savory revelation where I devoured that as snack after heating it in our home toaster oven. It was cheesy, the poblanos and kale were tasty, and I completely agreed with my cousin's assessment about their pizza bread. We're so grateful to our cousins for taking valuable time to serve as our foodie tour guides during our trip to San Francisco. Bay Area denizens are blessed to have three bakeries where they can satisfy their pastry, dessert, and bread cravings. We're fans of Arizmendi's scones and pizza bread.

The only downside is that it's not given to you heated. Eating it cold was not optimal. The banana "tart" because I don't recall the exact name, is to die for! It's sweet, it's sooo good!
