The best bagels I've ever eaten. I've lived back in the NYC area and have eaten all those favorites. I had Ess-a-bagel in the last year and it is not as good. I'm judging with a plain bagel with cream cheese. We are lucky to have the best bagels here. Crunch, chew, malty...

The Choco Malt Coffee has a strong, bitter taste that reminds of cheap instant coffee. My bagel unfortunately was not toasted, and the amount of cream cheese on it is simply absurd and impractical.

Best bagels in the Bay for sure. They are very good and farely similar to NYC style bagels. Only little detail, for me, it's too much cream cheese. I want to taste the bread of the bagel, not only have cream cheese taste. But that's not a big issue, I can just remove excess and all good. Just a schmear, thanks ;)

The bagel was large -- very filling, and the garlic bagel is so flavorful!

This is the best bagel place in the Bay Area for classic New York bagels. Their bagels, cream cheese, fish, etc. is all amazing. So happy they are now on Doordash for delivery! We used to only be able to get this once a week delivered from their Berkeley HQ, very excited for bagels every day.
