Holey Bagel

TLDR:A half step above Noah's/Posh/Boichik, yet still pales in comparison to the Laundromat. Will not go out of my way, but if absolutely craving a bagel and in Noe, this would be my stop. Longer:I stumbled into Holey Bagel on a sunny Saturday shortly after choking down half a bagel from Boichik (my second time trying Boichik, even more disappointing than my first experience. Even though it was toward the end of their day, there was still a fair variety of flavors. There were a few people behind the counter talking amongst themselves. Thinking back, I'm not sure anyone acknowledged my presence beyond an eventual nod and something to the effect of "what would you like?" A little cold, but they were ready to go home and I can't blame them. Interior is not inviting, but iirc, there were a few seats inside, plus a parklet right out their door. I took two everything, one salt, and one...I forget, plus a small garlic & herb cream cheese. $14 total felt like a lot for that... but I really wanted to scratch my bagel itch. I ate half of an everything bagel and the best part was the flavorful cream cheese. The bagel was okay enough, they're likely best very very first thing in the morning. My boyfriend agreed that it was slightly better than Boichik in the flavor and better texture. That being said, we didn't finish the bagels/I forgot about the two we left in the fridge. Oops. Next time I want a bagel, I'm making the trek to laundromat.

Bought a half dozen bagels from here a few afternoons ago. They were very stale. We saw the "day old bagels" bin for $1 each and that gave us confidence that the non-day old bagels were fresh but alas, not so. I agree with the other reviewer that I'm more convinced than ever that the shlep to Laundromat is worth it. I'm also excited to try bageletto - haven't been yet.

My local bagel shop. Bagels could be a little more fresh. Nice house spread options. They take call-in orders.

Solid bagel option in the Noe Valley neighborhood. The bagels always seem fresh and have a nice chew. Service is assertive and friendly. One of my go to stops when I need a quick breakfast.

The trick for this place is to go early when they have everything in stock and on the shelf before they get sold out. They have every imaginable bagel, super just baked fresh and a ton of toppings and spreads. Great prices with a couple of tables. Difficult parking but friendly service! Love and maybe for NY folks, this might not hit the spot, but for Bay Area it's damn good! Btw., they've been here here for decades and have a loyal clientele so clearly doing something right!

My go to bagel spot for the last 2 years. We got every Saturday morning and get their everything bagel with bacon and egg. Always delicious. Their everything bagel has a ton of everything topping and it's toasted perfectly. And their service is so fast.

This little shop is my go-to spot for when I'm craving that new york style bagel with da schmear. Or even a classic lox. The ladies are wonderful and extremely nice. They do accept electronic payment cause I've gone after a run with nothing but my phone on me. I believe there is a small charge if your total is under $5, so may be best to have cash for a smaller order.

Under the radar some of the best bagels in SF. No frills- just awesome NY-style quality. Everything bagel, egg tasty or lox sando

Good selection of bagels. Big selection of cream cheeses! Service was fast and courteous.

We went in this morning to grab a dozen bagels before heading to a company offsite. They asked if we wanted them sliced - we said yes of course! Then they told us they charge $2.50 per bagel to slice them.That's right, this is a bagel shop that charges you $2.50 a bagel to slice your bagel. WTH
