House of Bagels

Thanksgiving day - worst lox bagel ever bagel - dense like a brick No toppings No capers Just poor

Bagel is good. Nice and toasted. Cream cheese has full flavor. Space for seating indoors or you can walk around downtown munching on a bagel. Up to you boss.

I think they have the best everything bagels of the Bay Area bagel places I've found. The last time I came here, they served me the bagel right out of the oven, and it's as amazing, even though it was an extra 5-minute wait. The location here has a few tables and stools, but it can get busy, so expect a little wait if there's a line. But I noticed that the line moves relatively fast, which is nice. I think the only thing is that their egg and cheese bagels are made in the microwave, so not as tasty as some other places that prepare it on the grill. However, because of the delicious everything bagels, I just get it with cream cheese instead of the eggs and cheese. I appreciate this bagel place and I'm glad it exists!

1st TimerNo line when I arrived midafternoon on a weekday craving a bagel brunch. I only waited 3 min in total for my meal.I ordered a salmon lox bagel per recommendation from the staff on an everything bagel as most of their case selections were out.It was pretty good but when they cut it in half I noticed some of the smoked salmon was brown and discolored not pink like the rest of it which was off putting to me. My friend recently bought the TJ's everything bagel lox and when she opened it found live worms on it so I'm super vigilant when ordering lox anywhere now and examine everything.If I was the owner or staff preparing food at this establishment, I would've removed the discolored portion and trashed it. May comeback to try the breakfast or tuna bagel but will check if their salmon is fresh from now on.

Quality/Quantity - Got a few of the leftover bagels. Yes, they were sold out of most...They were good and it hit the spot. Went well with our bucket of leftover cream cheese. Atmosphere - Small local business.Open 7 days a week from 6am to 5:30pm.Street parking. Service - Excellent, chatted about the SF location and history for a few minutes before leaving. Price - $2 each + tax. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1962. I used to visit your original location in SF. Not sure how many locations you still have...? And what is your relationship with each one...

Saw them accept the customer in front of me orders with cash with gloves on and then made my bagel wearing the same gloves on. So gross, I threw it out and never coming back. Didn't even wash their hands or anything.

I've been going here since 2008. I always order the jalapeño and cheddar bagels plain. Usually they're good enough to just eat without anything. Today is my birthday, so decided to treat myself to a bagel, and this bagel that was supposedly made today tasted old! Super stale and dry. Who are you trying to fool here? Such a shame. After reading other reviews I see that they're trying to sell old bagels as fresh ones.

Being from NY, bagels are serious business for us, and are something we miss a great deal since moving west. We've found most of the things touted as bagels in CA are round bread with a hole. As bagels in California go, House of Bagels is always the closest thing there is to a real bagel. Every location we've gone to is always busy and the teams move fast to try and keep things moving, while being pleasant. Good enough.

Toasty to perfection,Yummy goodness . Bagels just the way I like it, crisp cucumber with enough of everything!

I'm back, the bagel was as good as I remember, service great and quick, ambiance very good and nice. Only this time I devoured 2 of these, call me big back or whatever but these bagels worth it.
