the Guy in there this morning was working by himself and was dealing with a giant line! he got what we wanted fast and had a great attitude, he did and amazing job and the bagels where amazing 10/10 I totally recommend! read more

I needed a quick morning bite when running errands and popped in here. The price was reasonable for the Asiago bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon. It was also delicious! I was doubly impressed with the service as one young man was taking orders, running the register, and prepping the food, all in record time. Kudos! read more

I used to work in the shopping center and come here all the time now I come here occasionally when I want a breakfast bagel. I came in this morning to get bagels for me and my children and I placed my order. I told the guy what I wanted. I wanted one bagel with sausage and bacon, egg and cheese and then I wanted two bagels with just bacon, egg and cheese. he was standing in front of the food when he was making it so I couldn't see what was happening but when he rang me up, he rang me up for three of the double meat bagels and I told him I said it's just one that has double meat and two regular right and he shakes his head on me and gets mad and goes you said you wanted all of them with sausage and bacon. I said no I didn't and he goes so you don't want bacon on one and I said no I don't want sausage on two of them and then he went open them up and start scraping everything off with a knife and he started shaking his head and huffing and puffing and then he tells me why didn't you tell me something when I was here making it if you're watching me make it I said you're standing in front of the food. I can't see what's happening. How am I supposed to know and at that point I just said you know what it's fine and I left. I'm not gonna pay for him to scrape eggs off of the sausage and throw it back on top and give me an attitude. I'm not gonna spend my money where people are being rude. The owner walked out right before this happened. Otherwise, I would've asked to speak with him because that was really ridiculous and then the guy working I guess his name is Eddie had some friends walk in and they were saying stuff to me as I was walking out of the door, very unpleasant experience so I'm not coming back read more

Should have checked review first.. I don't recall this place being like this. Has there been a change in ownership or management? This was my $7 bagel with lox spread. Not lox... lox spread. It's more than other flavored spreads, understandable. But, was shocked at the tad I was given. When asked to confirm, the guy quickly affirmed, "yup, that's the amount..." I would have been at least concerned a customer immediately questioned the finished product. But, this is what they ride on.. so, now I know and we all have choices. I'll choose to not going forward. Gave it an extra star cause the bagel was at least good. But, the quick dismissal of my interaction left a bad taste in my mouths, couldn't add a 3rd. It's too bad.. our service industry is declining. read more

Bagel Street Cafe - Lox Spread on toasted sourdough. $7. Wasn't stoked with the amount... for $7. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Rafael, California

Fresh tasty bagels for a good price - one of my favorite places to go for a morning carb fix! The little people in my life love the chocolate chip bagels. I'm a sesame or cheese bagel gal. The jalapeno bagel with cheese is crazy good but really spicier than I can handle on its own. I need cream cheese for this and then it's perfect. They are super generous with the shmears so I ask for medium or light. I think I've had all of their bagels to date and believe you really can't go wrong here. Pro tip: grab a dozen and then slice and freeze them for easy toasting at home read more

First time here for a Too Good to Go bag. I was running late for the pickup window so called ahead and the kind staff agreed to wait for me, even though the store had closed! Great Too Good to Go experience, as the bagels were fresh and delicious. read more

They hiked all the prices recently and it's become unreasonable. Like $6 for one bagel and cream cheese after all the fees? I was a regular but I cannot justify it anymore. A sandwich and chips rang up to over $25! Nuts. I will get bagels at Starbucks and sandwiches at plenty of other places for a much more reasonable price. read more

Breakfast bagel sandwiches are decent but don't bother with a bagel and cream cheese. It's insulting honestly. Burnt with barely any cream cheese. Get a couple bagels and a small side of cream cheese and make it yourself. You'll get ripped off otherwise. read more

They are open for two more hours, but won't make any more bagels :( I drive all the way here to treat myself in my day off. Make bagels. read more

Some might say, "a bagel is a bagel" but that is definitely not the case. Here I tried a sesame bagel toasted with honey butter, and when I pulled it out it was a wet, dripping with melted butter bagel, to the point of being almost inedible --just not a good rendition. Maybe honey cream cheese would be better than honey butter, but the amount of butter was over applied, and downright slippery. It's not something you'd find in a place that knows their bagels. Good should you need a fast carb fix, but please stretch out and peruse the world of even more delicious bagels when you get the chance. read more

Cinnamon rolls are weak! Big, but burnt, hard and the glaze icing is very less then. Too bad.

Deceptive pricing. Menu board completely confusing. Worst bagel I've ever eaten. Apparently toasted doesn't mean toasted here, barely warm. Lesson learned just won't come again read more

Their bagels are the best in Marin! So so good. Also really like their Dutch crunch. Makes for great sandwiches. The staff is always super friendly as well read more

Horrible horrible experience. First off they way over charge for a Lox bagel. If you love Lox bagels (who doesn't?!?) then do yourself a favor and buy one elsewhere because hear they charge 13.50 for basic, onion, tomato, cream cheese and then upcharge a dollar for lettuce and Capers! Isn't capers a standard ingredient on a Lox bagel? Then I specifically asked for sun dried tomato cream cheese and I get to work to eat it and it's plain cream cheese. The worst part is I call the store and the owner starts giving me a bunch of attitude about it and hangs up on me. What a joke. read more

Really pathetic that this place never has stocked bagels at 745am. Same excuses all the time. "We ran out". At 745?!?? Are you seriously trying to go out of business? Do not go here. Awful service read more

Food is delicious here!!! BUT, have to give 1 star to the lady who works at the front. We didn't come in with any attitude towards the worker and received nothing but that from her. Read some other reviews mentioning her attitude and it is all true!!! I understand it's early on a Friday but it's not like I'm asking you to make 100 bagels. I only ordered two. Anyways, I ordered a chicken salad bagel and it looked and tasted like tuna so we asked them to remake it and of course there were eye rolls & comments such as "they're the same" like what do you mean they're the same??? I think I am grown enough to tell the difference between tuna and chicken. Anyways, I think the asian guy was the manager and asked her to remake it. We were going to sit down and enjoy our bagels but quickly got up and left after the rude encounter. I love a good bagel but not sure if it's worth the 8 am drama. read more

At the register - the woman stared at me and added an additional 6 dollar charge seemingly just for fun. Disputed it with my credit card company. Guess I'll be going next door to Safeway from now on. read more

Bagel Street Cafe hasn't been a destination for quite a few years. my bagel eats haven't been what it was to be. noticed lots of bagels were available post noon. the covfefe was self service after paying. having had peerless coffee for years. brew: columbia reserve (L. 3) -tasted more watery than my usual experience. maybe i've forgotten how peerless covfefe tastes like. thought it was bolder. read the fine print. it's listed as "light". that explains the "watery" texture. *coffee definitely needs to be labeled more visibly 3.5 stars. read more

Good spot, lattes are wonderful. You can't really go wrong with a bagel n cream cheese

I like Bagel Street Cafe. I feel their prices are fair; the customer service is always good- they're polite and friendly to me, and the service is always quick. The menu and selection are decent, and the quality has remained consistent over the years. My go-to place for bagels in San Rafael. read more

Quick to the point service, great priced and variety without sacrifice of quality. Classic small bakery, that being said show up early or you might miss out on your favorite bagels :) read more

I walk into the Bagel Street Cafe in the Monticeto Plaza, San Rafael,CA yo order a bagel sandwich for my wife at home. I have never been here before. The cafe looks promising; it is clean, has a good variety of nice looking bagels and an extensive menu. BUT..... There is no one else in the store, so I call my wife to tell her the options that she has for her bagel sandwich. She has a question about an add on item, I pause and ask the guy behind the counter the question and then provided her with the answer, then place the order. He looks at me and says, "You're rude and the answer to your question is on the board." I asked, "I'm rude?" He answered, "Yea, you are talking on the phone and ordering." I start to explain myself and stop, he knows why I am on the phone, I don't have to explain myself. Dude, you are in the customer service business, I'm not holding up customers, it is obvious that I have never been here, and finally I am trying to make my wife happy. WT_???? So you have lost me as a customer and I will spread the word about your epic customer service and interpersonal communication skills with the world. Bagel lovers of the world, BEWARE of the Bagel Street Cafe rude employe read more

I order my bagels via DoorDash so I have nothing in particular to add about the customer service other than I got my dozen bagels and cream cheese within a very reasonable time frame. The bagels tasted delicious and fresh. I got chocolate chip, everything, jalapeño, and cheese bagels. They were all great. The jalapeño cream cheese had a good amount of spiciness to it! My only complaint is that the cheese bagel simply comes with a slice of cheese cooked on top of it. It's kind of tricky to put this in a toaster and I don't own a toaster oven. I think cooking the cheese inside of the bagel dough or maybe baking some shredded cheese on top instead of a slice would probably remedy this. It was still yummy though. read more

If I could put less than one star I would. This review is not based on the bagels it is based on the quality of the customer service of which Tommy Tren doesn't seem to have any experience with. I used a wonderful app called Too Good To Go which has worked successfully with many restaurants world wide. It helps restaurants to not throw away food and gives a good price for the customer. However, when I showed up to pick up my order after driving a half hour and parking, Bagel Street Cafe was closed. Needless to say I was confused and disappointed, the app "Too Good to Go" refunded my money when I told them what happened. Later when I spoke with " Tommy" the manager/owner? he said that basically if he runs out of bagels then too bad for me... he doesn't make any money on the deal and that's how the app works. He sounded irritated with me that I had a complaint. Actually, that's not how the app works and I suggested he either take himself off of the app or check how it works. He said he only had one other complaint about this so it wasn't a high priority. He should have said, sorry you drove all the way, I will check into this app and see how it works so this doesn't happen to someone else or we will not use the app since it doesn't pay us to do so, and by the way come by again for one of our bagels to see how good they taste. This guy was so bad even my husband tried to nicely suggest better business practices but he just told him that it was fine for me to write a scathing review. I know there are more important issues going on now than bagels but this guy needs to NOT be in a business that involves making people happy because he gets no satisfaction from it. I never never never want to set my foot in any Bagel Street Cafe even if I am starving to death. And I apologize for saying this but I have a secret hope no one else goes there either. Thank you for reading this if you have lasted! read more

This is our Family's favorite bagel spot. You know you have to go before 2pm to get them fresh and esp. your favorites~ even if it's plain. I love getting a half dozen for home and my kids and I get toasted variations with cream cheese and cumbers or just buttered. So satisfying to have a bagel sandwich if you are busy running around. There are a couple brothers running the place and the dad or uncle who makes the banana, zucchini and pumpkin bread at the cash register. SO good if you don't have time to make it yourself. (shortcuts in life, get them here) read more

The food is FANTASTIC. The customer service is very poor. There's a lady that has such a bad temper. She's ready to fight the customers if they decide to add an extra bagel. It was quiet embarrassing with a long line that was listening. She got so upset, because we wanted ONE extra bagel with cream cheese. Crazy how this business puts up with that. I will only order if the owner is here, if not I'm going somewhere else. I'm surprised that the owner puts up with her attitude. read more

Good food, friendly people , large variety, and good quality i will come back. I love to support small local business

The coffee is kind of terrible, but the jalapeño cheddar bagel with jalapeño cream cheese ($4) is *chef's kiss.* Bring cash or you might have to buy a coffee to meet the $5 credit card minimum. read more

Love Bagel Street. We often stop by for a dozen bagels on the weekend and also for a quick breakfast bite if we are running late. Somehow these folks manage to churn out breakfast sandwiches really quickly even when it's breakfast rush on weekdays. Highly recommend! read more

Just as it was beginning to improve I was let down again. My order was missing two bagels. At 23 bucks for six bagels I'd expect them to get it right. I'm not even getting bagels for me. There are specific varieties to suit everyone's need for a good reason. When I select four Jalapeño bagels, you don't pull the four from the counter and only provide three. It's not that hard. I'm not sure what's going on with the staff but I may need to go to the farther San Rafael location once again. Disappointed but I'll try again in the future Note: one missing Bagel and one wrong lox schmear bagel (which I returned ) and no offer to refund was not cool. read more

I love their eggwiches but hated getting American cheese instead of cheddar cheese. The place is near work so I've been many times and the amount of times they put the wrong cheese is unreasonable to me.I don't want to spend $10 for a breakfast bagel and always have to check if they have the correct order. read more

I'd recommend avoiding this place if you aren't up for interacting with rude and discarding staff that can be expected with each visit. The food is fine. But the service is bad enough to fully negate any positive experience from the food. Unless you want to interact with a staff that have a propensity to throw a curve at an otherwise good day, I'd recommend avoiding any visits here. read more

Good food and good works The California club is the best thing they have i'd recommend trying the chocolate croissant read more

I have been coming here for years. The owner, Jeff, is friendly and nice. The bagels are good and satisfying. Whoever helped me this morning served me skimpy and soggy bagels and was extremely rude and insulting when I brought it to his attention. So disappointed. I wish I took a picture of the skimpy, soggy bagels. I understand small businesses have it tough, still there was no reason to insult a loyal customer for not being satisfied with their purchase. He also shorted me the correct refund amount. Lost a regular customer. Sad. read more

I'll confidently give three BSC locations (SR/Northgate, SR/Montecito and SJ/near Airport) five stars, since I've frequented all of these over the past dozen or so years. This is a tight family-run business where I can always count on consistent quality, good value and friendly service (even when things get hectic). It's also a franchise I've tried to keep visiting even during the COVID era, as they've no doubt been adversely affected by fewer commuters and few students (particularly near SR High School). I'm partial to their Jalapeno and Cheddar bagels, while my wife - who is from Canada and raised on Kettleman's bagels - won't eat any other bagel in the US other than BSC's Sesame bagels. The shmears are just right - we're partial to the scallion - and there is a large flavor selection to choose from. Note that, like other food businesses, they have to estimate how many bagels to make on a given day, which even with their experience (and 20+ locations overall), means that they'll have a lot of leftovers some days, and will run short of some flavors on others. I've never not found a bagel I like, even later in the AM or early afternoon, but I've seen and heard some criticism about lousy selection. This is exacerbated during COVID - it's simply becoming harder to predict what to produce. But I've not experienced, personally, a dropoff, and we'll always return to BSC as long as they keep cranking out what we feel is the best bagel around, with friendly faces and a tireless work ethic across all locations. EXTRA: Eggwich breakfasts always fill me up, and I love the sausage version. Also try the bagel dogs - they're large, and terrific. Better than what we used to have at the delis I worked at in the early 80s! read more
