City Bagels

I've lived in San Jose for years, and somehow, I had never been here until today. And wow, this place rocks! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello. The staff is welcoming and hard at work making fresh bagels. This spot isn't just a bagel shop--it also doubles as a donut shop, and let me tell you, their donuts do not disappoint.We went for the star of the show: the bagels. We ordered a turkey bagel sandwich. The bagel was fresh, the turkey portion was generous, and overall, it was an outstanding sandwich. We also grabbed a small order of donut holes, and they were just as good.TL;DR:Great local bagel and donut shop--fresh food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. This spot has every bagel imaginable. If you're in the downtown area, make this place a part of your morning routine. Thanks, City Bagels!

No notes... super sweet couple running the shopFood- amazing Price- fantastic Service- excellent

This place deserves more recognition because their food and service was the best I've ever experienced at any food spot. The employees are very attentive and are always looking out for the customer's needs! The bagels are fresh, made right in front of you and VERY FAST! They were absolutely delicious and everyone should give it a try! I had the #2: Turkey Sandwich on a sesame bagel! 10/10 recommend!

I came here for breakfast on a weekday with my sister. We each ordered a Lox Bagel Sandwich and a Vietnamese Coffee. We also ordered a dozen donut holes to share. Tell me why my total was $48?!?! I won't be retuning as when you pay with card, the lady ringing you up literally stares at you when the tip screen pops up.. This is a grab-and-go bagel shop not a sit down restaurant. The Vietnamese coffee wasn't strong enough and didn't taste like Vietnamese coffee at all. The donut holes were terrible - extremely dry. The Lox Bagel was fine. They added lettuce which I thought was strange as that doesn't usually pair with Lox. There is street parking right in front of the storefront.

The service was lovely, and it smelled good walking in. However, I was told my lox bagel came with cream cheese, not mayo, which is definitely what I was hoping for, yet I ended up with mayo on it anyway. It was still a decent sandwich, but I can't give a better review when the food is made wrong. And since I had taken my sandwich and coffee to go, there was no way of correcting the mistake on the spot.

My first experience here was definitely a 5 star. The service here was so friendly it definitely made my early morning start off with a smile. I ordered a garlic bagel with cream cheese and it was soooo yummy. The service was so fast, I was in and out of there in a couple minutes. If you're a busy individual and looking for a quick early morning bite, I highly recommend checking out City Bagels!

This seems like a go to place for people! The people there were having good conversations with their regulars which I thought was very wholesome. The jalapeño cheese bagel was really good! It had a good amount of spice to it. Only thing is we thought we didn't get enough cream cheese. Maybe it's us being spoiled by House of Bagels, but if I come back here I'd request for more cream cheese.The cinnamon raisin bagel was all right but I would prefer it more toasted. Again it didn't have much cream cheese. It didn't really stand out too much though so I'll probably go for other bagels instead.

Best bagels in town. So yummy!! They are also so nice every time I go in there. Great service

There's not that many bagel spots in San Jose, which I would love to see more of, but City Bagels is definitely up there. I like how they're located in the heart of a busy downtown. They're a hole in the wall that can be easy to miss, but once you find them you'll quickly realize why they're that one necessary stop on everyone's daily commutes. So crazy how there's a dispensary located right next to it now (such a San Jose thing lol). I got the #12 which was a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and a plain cheese bagel. And baby, that sandwich was hella hot and made with love from the ancestors because the cheese was melting, dripping on my finger and everything. A solid, convenient breakfast spot if you're looking for something made fresh and quick out the door, or sit and just have a coffee and read the paper. They got a variety of drinks on the menu as well as boba!

Great breakfast bagel sandwich! Stopped by during our visit for breakfast. The bagel sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese hit the spot!
