House of Bagels

We were craving bagels and saw HoBags (House of Bagels) was nearby, so we stopped for a quick bite and ordered a breakfast bagel (#18 on blueberry bagel) to split.We were helped within a few minutes after coming in and the food came out within 5 minutes. This spot was continuously packed with new customers and it was busy enough that employees didn't have time to pick up the phone! The staff were nice even though they were busy.There were a few seating areas off to the side where the lines would form, so you can sit and not feel claustrophobic. There's currently construction around the plaza, but the parking lot was still easily accessible and has lots of spots available.

Bagels are fresh and delicious. The jalapeño bagel w/ cream cheese was to die for! Plenty of jalapeños to go around! Staff is friendly and quick. Tables to sit inside. Quick and easy. Parking available in plaza lot.

So fireee!! Needed to pick up breakfast before the 49er game we were craving breakfast bagels so I checked yelp and found House of Bagels next to our hotel. I called in my order and when I got there it was ready. Owner was very friendly and dressed up in niner gear :) he even let me take his picture. I ordered a jalapeño bagel toasted & buttered with egg cheese and sausage . Was so delicious!! We loved it . We will be back next game..

House of Bagels has been in this strip mall for a long time, but this is the first time stopping in.Small shop with signage of their menu and bagel flavors, etc. Display case of other baked goods they also sell, like muffins, cinnamon rolls, pastries, etc.The service was warm and welcoming! I got a baker's dozen (13) of assorted bagels. The cream cheese was extra. Noah's includes their cream cheese. Anyway, I picked up a plain cream cheese and strawberry cream cheese for the office.Lox Bagel with Cream Cheese (3.5/5). pretty decent sandwich. They were out of the sprouts, which I was looking forward to on my sandwich. Oh, well.

I got the veggie bagel with avocado on a jalapeño cheese bagel, and it was so good! The bagel tasted fresh and not overly stuffed. It's a small, casual place with some seating, which was nice! I was also able to get my food within 5-10 minutes. My brother ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice, and it tasted great, will definitely be coming back!

The sandwich was fine, but the value just isn't here. For $15, I was quite disappointed in the ham club sandwich I ordered (on sourdough). This is a corporate order, so I'm guessing there was a surcharge, but given all the other restaurants we order from, House of Bagels was very low in overall value. The sandwich was toasted which was nice, but otherwise, it was very small and the taste was not anything special. I saw other sandwiches that were ordered, and all of them were quite small.From other reviews, it sounds like their bagels are pretty good (I haven't had them), but I do not recommend ordering a sandwich from here.

One thing I love is a good breakfast sandwich, and they definitely delivered. They had great prices and quick service, which are always appreciated. My friends and I were on our way to a convention so we needed a quick breakfast and I'm so glad we came here! I had a sausage, egg, and cheese on a jalapeño croissant. Everything tasted great! It was spicy cus of the jalapeños but that's to be expected hahah

House of Bagels has been around FOREVER. Been coming here for years and it's always stayed consistent. My favorite is the number 18 (sausage, egg and cheese bagel) and the Vietnamese coffee. There are days where I've swung by before work for breakfast and it's super busy, depending on day and time I guess. I usually come by around 7am, but it's always different, also a recent addiction of mine from House of Bagels is the strawberry crossaint! This place has a very small seating arrangement so if you want to chill and enjoy your food, you may but it might be tough to find a spot depending on how busy it gets. Overall, House of Bagels is a great spot for breakfast sammiches.

I was craving bagels so I had my husband dropped by this place. We ordered 2 toasted sesame bagels with lox spread. Overall, the bagel was good but a little too chewy for my taste. As for the lox spread, I was quite surprised to see chunks of smoked salmon and green onions. At other places, the lox spread is usually a smooth paste. The spread here has texture and extra flavor due to the green onions.

I normally love house of bagels, but I've had a few uncomfortable experiences here now and I'm finally going to say something. I spent $20 for a Vietnamese coffee and a bagel, the bagel was $14, and the coffee was $7. Pretty steep already.I asked for the Vietnamese coffee to be light ice (or else the coffee is gone in 2 sips!).She gave me the coffee half empty with "light ice". The staff here were already rude and cold, so I was feeling on edge. She asked if the ice was okay in a very passive aggressive tone, and made me so uncomfortable. I looked at the half empty cup of coffee and thought "this isn't worth $7"... so I asked if she could fill the rest up with milk. She looked to upset that I even asked her this question and said "we don't put milk in our Vietnamese coffee". I cannot tell you how absolutely rude she was. She proceeds to take out the milk, put it on the table next to me and tell me to pour my own milk... Come on people! I just paid $20 for a meal, I'm a returning customer and I was polite the whole time, you think you could spare 1/4 cup of milk! So I googled it, and traditional Vietnamese coffee does not have milk. It's just espresso and sweetened condensed milk, but I've been to many other house of bagels throughout the Bay Area and I've never had this problem. I think they were being stingy with the milk, ultimately, just nasty rude people.So don't ask for light ice, unless you want to be confronted with passive aggression. Also I asked for chive cream cheese on my lox bagel and they put plain.I will not be returning, and I will make an effort to tell people to stay away from this place. Ridiculous.
