Stopped by for some much needed coffee after a long weekend of camping. We stopped by as the reviews were good and the location is right off the freeway, super convenient when making a pit stop. There is a variety of coffee's to choose from as well as food items but being that we needed something strong we decided to go with the Vietnamese coffee, IYKYK. The viet coffee was so good! We were really happy and pleased. Going to start adding this stop to our camping trip drives. read more

Bagel Box and Coffee - Everything Bagel with spinach mushrooms turkey and cheese - Cafes Near Me - San Mateo, California

Needed a place to get some matcha and a quick bite. Fast service and east to get to! Satisfied my craving and was perfect for what I needed.

Great food, great service and easy to get to. I have been here 4 or 5 times and every time it is great. There is a nice little patio area if you want to enjoy your food abd beverages outside or you can take it with you. Always hits the spot. The two men working the counter and making the food are always nice and informative. Will be back again and again. The sausage, egg, cheese bagel is great. My husband loves the Lox in the everything bagel. read more

We love the Bagel Box.The food and coffee keeps us coming back. Also they have good seating there.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I was like where in the world is this bagel spot?! I saw it on maps so I knew it had to be here! Silly me was looking for a storefront. This place, although small, is so perfect. I came for bagels today at 9am and they already had a couple customers. One which was a regular. After trying the cashier's recommended bagel sandwich, I'm gonna have to become a regular too because WOW. Their sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich was the best thing ever. Egg was fluffy, sausage was not super thin like most places, perfect amount of cheese - and the jalapeño bagel was delicious. Gonna have to stop by again soon! read more

Second time coming here. It's a no frills, easy to order, easy to enjoy kind of place. We got a bagel sandwich, a cinnamon raisin bagel, and a sesame bagel with cream cheese and Nutella - yum!! The owner (I think?) is super friendly, had his dog there when we went, and my kids were very interested in petting her. Would love to come back again! read more

Just a small little box actually lol in the parking lot by shell. The man working had a great attitude and friendly and helpful. He was so fast and paid attention to all guests. The coffee was good and I will come back when in the area. They have a nice little area if you want to sit and hang out in the parking lot with fake plants around it so you don't completely feel like you're in a parking lot read more

This is a great little place for a quick coffee and scrumptious bagel. The breakfast bagel options are yummy. One of the guys there is a former dog trainer and is always ready to give my pup a little treat and lots of scratches, so my dog especially loves it when I come here. read more

Bagel Box and Coffee - Cafes Near Me - San Mateo, California

It's a tough call. I really wanted to really really like this place. It's a great idea in a convenient location. And they've really made the outside cute with three tables so there's a good seating area. The prices also seemed reasonable and the staff seems really friendly. Here's my issue: the cinnamon raisin bagel, while having a nice chew, didn't really have any flavor. Frankly, I couldn't taste either the cinnamon or the raisins. additionally, their hours are only 8 AM to 3 PM. This means that it's inconvenient to stop by (actually not possible) either before or after work. They also have a rewards program that you can add to your Apple wallet if you like. If I could give 3 1/2 stars, I would. But since we can only give whole star ratings. I'm going to have to go with three. read more

I got an Asiago bagel with cream cheese and a large oatmilk matcha with honey. Both were very good. The bagel was crisp on the outside and not dry at all. The matcha was very delicious with the right ratio of creaminess to flavor. The owner, was super friendly and efficient -- it took less than 2 min for everything to be ready. Bonus points that he had a very friendly and sweet pup outside, just happily sunbathing. read more

Ordered the veggie bagel sandwich. It was a nice balance of veggies, cream cheese and bagel even after not being able to eat it for 2 hours because of work. Service was fast. I would definitely return. read more

Terrible customer service. There is usually a nice older gentleman that works here, so I enjoy giving this establishment business. But today, Saturday, there was a rude and frustrated middle aged man working. The coffee and bagels were sub par but I liked giving this place business. But I will definitely not be back now. read more

Stopped in when working down the street with my team. We are a contracting company. Grabbed a nice latte and a great little breakfast sandwich. What I like about it is it was quick, easy and yummy. I really like the concept stop by if you have a chance, you won't be disappointed. read more

Humble and kind business owner. Friendly staff that's so kind to dogs and kids. Simple menu. DELICIOUS BAGELS!! I haven't been able to stop coming here every day. Bagel with schmear. Bacon cheese sandwich. Iced latte is so good! I love how this location is just a simple box in the parking lot off the freeway where you can grab and go. I absolutely love this place! read more

Unsuspecting little neighborhood shop but the coffee here is amazing!! I have yet to try their sandwiches as I always have plans but their americano and mocha has been perfect so far. Side note, I'm a heavy coffee drinker and I like my coffee on the less sweet side. Mocha has 2 shots included and if you're looking for a great balance of cocoa and coffee then this is the spot. Americano was smooth and fragrant. Pretty strong too! read more

Perfect place to grab your coffee before going to class. I got to meet the owner and he was really nice. I ordered the espresso shot over ice and was surprised how amazing the coffee flavors were! I will be coming back try out there other coffee options. 5 out 5 star review! read more

Service is always so friendly. Perfect spot for a quick grab and go in the mornings. Great coffees and bagels

I'm so surprised and also kind of upset I haven't been here before! There have been numerous times where I've been wanting a bagel breakfast sandwich but didn't want to pay an insane amount for something that might not satisfy my craving. I was headed down 92 when I remembered seeing this place on Yelp and decided to quickly exit and grab a bite. Truly the best way to have started my day! I didn't get his name, but the only guy working today was insanely friendly! I ordered a veggie bagel (~$6) and an iced latte (~$4) and legit waited 4 minutes for both haha. Only reason I know this is because of how excited he was to have gotten both out to me so quickly! Aside from the speed, the veggie bagel hit the spot! The sprouts had a nice little bite, the cucumbers were fresh and crunchy, the tomato wasn't mushy and the avocado was perfect! 4 minutes will be tough to beat, but I know I'll be coming back again soon! read more

Ordered a large Americano and it tasted like water. They don't use enough shots. I even added an extra one (a third shot). A large cup like that requires 4 shots or else it's too aqueous and you can't even taste the coffee. read more

I got the cold brew with crème and a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese and it was 10/10 no complaints. The customer service was honestly off the charts. I would go again just for the great music and amazing conversation with the clerk. Took the food back to work for the photo. read more

Bagel Box and Coffee - Cold Brew and Jalapeño bagel with cream cheese - Cafes Near Me - San Mateo, California

We were looking for a simple place for coffee and maybe a simple breakfast sandwich with outdoor seating. Why did we not know about this place? super small hut in the middle of a parking lot so there's parking. Next to the hut are a couple of tables. Food was delicious. Like the other yelper said, half my bagel cooled down but it was still fresh and not hard. Egg, sausage and cheese, super simple but was so good. the manager and owner are awesome! Super friendly guy. Yes like another yelper said, the manager does talk a bit but made it a great experience. seemed like everyone who stopped in or out were regulars of the place. I guess we will be, too!!! read more

Small shop/box in an easily accessible location. Good water bagel, toasted with not a lot but just enough cream cheese (which I like).

Ordered several things off the menu and got everything in a timely manner; great customer service and the food was delicious! read more

It's a small little window that you can order delicious bagels and coffee at! There is outdoor patio seating but it's limited. I tried the California bagel and the Mediterranean both were good! The lady working was very nice and polite too, which was a nice way to start the morning! I had a vanilla latte which didn't taste too vanilla-y and the peanut butter coffee was delicious! I liked it better! read more

Incredibly rude Caucasian middle age man who may be the business owner or an employee. I live in the neighborhood and always wanted to try the Bagel box and coffee. Will not go again. read more

This morning, I embarked on what I thought would be a simple quest: obtain one (1) everything bagel with bacon. No egg. No cheese. No drama. Just a humble, salty carb halo with some crispy pig bits tucked inside. Spoiler alert: I was naïvely optimistic. Attempt #1: I receive a sandwich... with egg and cheese. Bold move, considering I specifically said no egg and no cheese. Maybe they thought I said "surprise me"? I bring it back. Politely. Maybe they misheard me? No big deal. Attempt #2: They hand me a bagel with cream cheese and bacon. Getting closer, but now we're just playing Mad Libs with breakfast. Did I say "cream cheese"? No. Am I allergic? Also no. But should I have to clarify "no dairy schmear" like I'm placing an order in Morse code? At this point, I reiterate the order once again -- and I'm talking slowly, clearly, like I'm defusing a bomb: Everything. Bagel. With. Bacon. Only. That's when things took a turn into what I can only describe as breakfast-themed performance art. The presumed owner -- who had the energy of a man who just snorted espresso grounds off a frisbee -- becomes visibly agitated. Then, he threatens to step outside and smash the bagel over my head. Now, I've been to some weird brunch spots, but this was the first time I feared for my life because of a breakfast sandwich. I didn't sign up for this. I came for a bagel, not a UFC weigh in. If I wanted this kind of energy, I'd have texted my ex wife. To anyone considering this place: enter at your own risk. You might get a bagel. You might get a head injury. It's a roll of the dice -- but hey, at least it's freshly baked chaos. read more

Breakfast bagel sandwich (sausage, egg, cheese) - fast, hot, value priced. Hits all the major buttons on a rushed morning! Rainy morning, but the table setup looks nice and functional. Small hut in a parking lot in with decent trees/landscaping, not too car traffic busy. That tells you compromise in setup, but it does actually work decently. read more

I'm super into small businesses. I really think America needs to kick corporations to the curb. Small businesses are what built America. Small businesses keep people and the money local. That said Bagel Box & Coffee is a bad ass small business !!! Literally !!! It's prolly all of 100sq ft ? But it's jam packed with lotsa yummy sounding food options and beverages. It beats the CRAP out of some hipster man bun sporting sister's pants wearing douche lounge. Just a couple nice and polite people behind a window and a nice. Clean. Well thought out. Well laid out little patio dining area. Everything was clean. Everything was organized. I felt safe. The food was tasty. The staff were on point and presentable. I'm a grumpy man and in general I dislike people. But the nice young lady today was too smiley to resist and I just had to chat and compliment the place. Hopefully the staff enjoy working there and hopefully everyone recognizes that the staff deserve respect. AND TIPS !! Their tip jar had only Pennie's in it! C'mon man !! Tip your servers !! read more

I ordered an everything bagel with cheese and egg. A good bagel doesn't need to be toasted and it's a good way of knowing the quality of it. Indeed, it was awesome. Plenty of seating with nice views. read more

Me and my boyfriend went to bagel box and coffee this morning with our dog. We were served by David and he was amazing. His dog was so cute and so well trained. He treated us and our dog with so much kindness, and the bagels and coffee were super good!! read more

Terrible experience. The cashier or possibly the owner (Caucasian middle aged man) this morning was unbelievably rude. I asked for a wheat bagel while still looking at the options, and instead of being patient, he literally snapped, "Well what else do you want, c'mon dude." I couldn't believe it. To make things worse, he had his dog with him and was playing with it, then went straight to handling food without even washing his hands. I had to tell another worker not to let him touch my bagel. Totally unprofessional, unsanitary, and disrespectful. The bagels themselves were just okay, but that cashier from this morning needs to go. read more

Finally gave the bagel box a try for an afternoon coffee pick me up. Prices were good and the flat white and chai latte were as good as the big name guys for a lot less money. Accommodating and friendly service and felt great to support a local business. I was so excited to see the nice table seating outside. read more

I am a student at CSM, and this is my favorite breakfast place near campus. Not only is it cheap, but they make the food really good. The prices are great, I love the iced drinks, and the bagels are fresh. My usual order is either a Breakfast Burrito with sausage along with an iced mocha / Iced Chai Latte, or a breakfast bagel on an everything bagel with an iced mocha / iced chai latte. You can't argue with the hot mocha's as well. 5/5 stars read more
