I LOVE THIS SPOT!! I've lived in the area for over a year now and their food has never disappointed me!! The farmstand was delicioussssssss. i usually get the Veganova (which is absolutely out of this world) but this bagel really confirmed for me that this place really means business. The workers are always so kind and accommodating. There's always great seating and the music slaps too!! (you can hear me singing in the video LOL) I love this spot!! to top it all off, the BEST coffee spot in the bay area is right next door! Felini Coffee Bar Highly recommend everyone to stop by these spots and give em a try!!! read more

This is a different bagel from the one I reviewed two years ago, and time has not treated it well. Today, we ordered a half dozen and cream cheese. The interior crumb had a Goldilocks structure: it was open and light, yet it bounced back when pressed and twisted. The bagels will hold shape under a sandwich without becoming dense. Unfortunately, the bagels we received were very pale and had no crust to speak of. The bagels had a gentle tang of fermentation but it was so subtle you could miss it if you weren't looking out. Doubly unfortunate was that something must have burned in the oven because all of the bagels tasted distinctly of smoke. It was unpleasant enough that we could not finish the batch. I hope that quality control steps up soon! read more

FANTASTIC! I was so happy to see the plethora of vegan and vegetarian options, sandwiches and classic cream cheese bagels. I ordered the lemon-tapia vegan open faced sandwich. It was so so so yum! A little different to eat to say the least as my nose was constantly going into the carrots so you can say it was a hefty portion! My partnered ordered the classic egg and cheese sandwich along with an Asiago with cream cheese. The bagels for the vegan sandwich and eggs and cheese Sandwich were switched but we didn't care enough for it to be remade. The staff was friendly, restaurant is filled with plenty of seating, and the bathroom is gender neutral and very clean. read more

Bageltopia, Say no more! I am not sure why I thought this would be a small restaurant- it's not! It's pretty big for a bagel spot. The walls have great decorations throughout. Variety of bagels - menu changes at times, and so do their specials- I got spinach bagel with sunny side up! This could def be a shareable one. The eggs were cooked to perfection and it honestly, just waters in your mouth. The service was great! They are extremely acknowledgeable and they often give you their faves for you to try if you don't know what to get! read more

We got a bagel with egg and cheese. We waited for half an hour. The waiter warned us of the long wait. With close to six staffs in the kitchen, we thought it would be faster than half an hour. Bagel was delicious. Just wish they can streamline the process to improve the time. read more

This was a cute little place with some good food. The staff was friendly and helpful. They young blonde person, didn't get the name, was super cool with us and made things easy. Our youngest looked peeved by the bacon until he tried it. Straight scarfed his whole sando. We will go back like Mr. Krabs. The next day and the next day and the next day... read more

Bageltopia - Egg and Cheese Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Berkeley, California

The service is super kind and helpful. I made a pick up order mentioning the missing salt bagel and was given 2 on the house. This is the only place I come to for bagels now lol. I wish they had egg bagel but I love getting poppy, everything, salt, plain, and sesame, My husband and I are also big fans of their salmon lox even though we kinda have ourselves the ick for smoked salmon but I had a lox bagel elsewhere literally two days after this one and the quality of Bageltopias salmon is unmatched fr. Cute shop and I was able to get some writing done in the back corner for a bit after enjoy my bagel brunch. Also want to confirm these freeze SO well, better than the other bagel spots around me that I've tried. read more

With a place being called Bageltopia this place truly doesn't disappoint and lives up to the name! They offer a pretty decent sized menu from breakfast bagel sandwiches to lunch ones which is very nice. Options galore when it comes to bagels too which is very nice and they make them all in house. I usually go with the Farmstand and it has the eggs over easy on top of a bunch of greens. Amazing flavor and a great start to the morning. The staff here is always very nice and they are usually really quick to get your order out even when they are very busy. The location is really nice too and they offer a ton of seating which is needed during to the demand of their yummy bagels! If you're in the North Berkeley area and needing a good fuel up for the morning or lunch this a really decent spot. read more

I had a good experience at Bageltopia yesterday. Parking is easy (no small thing in Berkeley) ADA access is easy (YAY!) the menu was extensive, and they were extremely tolerant of two women who just came in for coffee and sat for an hour. The menu is extensive and I WILL be back -- people around us were enjoying their food, and I was sorry I'd already had breakfast. read more

Great stop today for my partner who has celiac! They may have been busy, but the GF options might take a little longer to make. She said her bagel was tasty! The joint is bright and modern on the inside. Check out the newly updated SIPS across the way! read more

First time here, so far so great. Counter person dealt with my silly disposition and questions in a great way, gave me a Black Garlic spread sample, and a the bagel was actually toasted as requested. Everything bagel seasoning was plentiful and extra tasty. Tempted to eat the remaining cream cheese on the wrapper but don't want to embarrass my ancestors. Will be back for sure when in the area. read more

I enjoyed the Homestead vegan bagel sandwich. The bagel itself was good, but pretty average. read more

I love lox bagels, but I've been wanting to try a vegan alternative, so Yelp took me to Bageltopia! The interior (and exterior, with construction overlooked) was super cute and decorated for the Fall with pumpkins sprinkled around the store. There was no wait on a Friday afternoon and plenty of tables open. Lemon-topia: A vegan lox bagel that I quite enjoyed! I didn't taste as much of the lemon but it might've just been the half I ate. I love the greens + the vegan "salmon" itself, made out of carrots, was super yummy! Farmstand(?): We meant to order the Homestead to try the tofu scramble, but there was a slight miscommunication. Still, this one was delishhh with the basil butter and again, the greens just made our lunch super satisfying to eat. The everything bagel itself was also a wonderful texture. French Toast Bagel: These are sweet cinnamon-raisin bagel bites, and a great sweet balance to add to our savory bagels. Reminded me of a more dough-ey version of mall pretzel bites, topped with thick lemon-ricotta cream and maple syrup. Heavy, so I would never eat these on its own, but I enjoyed nonetheless. The person we ordered with was super nice + everybody here was just chill. Would love to come back to try all their vegan options. read more

Bageltopia was at the annual Bizerkeley Vegan Food Fest on September 7th this year! I can't believe this was my first time hearing of them, because I LOVE bagels. The team was very approachable and friendly even when we were just checking out the menu. They offered 3 items for the festival. We went with the Vegan Supernova ($7) which had house-smoked carrot in place of lox (smoked salmon)! Such a great deal for a food festival in my opinion. Every bite was so refreshing & I wish it was a full bagel so I had more to savor. I've never had smoked carrot before either, and honestly despite the lack of protein as a salmon replacement, it was actually really delicious. It was perfectly Smoky and even had an umami flavor profile! I was tempted to go back and ask if I could just buy a plate of the carrots. I really enjoyed the playful vibe of their logo & wonder how their store front is decorated to match! I can't wait to stop by to see what else they have to offer. read more

Hello everyone, my wife and I, went to Bageltopia and had some of the greatest bagels in the Bay Area. The service was great and there is enough space for you and several friends. I had the Neptune bagel which was off the chain. My wife had a sesame bagel with blueberry lavender cream cheese. They were so good we ordered a second one. If you're looking for a great bagel, try Bageltopia. read more

Bageltopia came highly recommended by a few friends! The inside is spacious with a decent amount of seating. The menu includes vegan and vegetarian options in addition to meat and other animal products. The menu also indicates that some of the bagels are hand-rolled! I ordered a New Jersey bagel, which came with eggs, sausage, cheese, and tomato jam. It was really good! I did order it on an everything bagel, but they accidentally gave me a plain bagel. No worries, though; it was still delicious! I stopped by the coffee shop Nextdoor to grab coffee to enjoy with my bagel. A very pleasant breakfast! I highly recommend. read more

I was here, and your employee Lucinda was the best. You're lucky to have her, and I was lucky to have her help me.

Went their on a quick lunch break with my colleagues, there was no line and the food came out pretty quickly even with 9 of us there. It was clean and the server/cashier was very nice! I got the Mendicino turkey bagel sandwich and it was very good! Was a bit messy so I would recommend eating at a table or with a bunch of napkins. It was a bit pricy, for a bagel and a soft drink it was 20 dollars but overall I'd come back and have something else. read more

Bageltopia - Mendocino - Bagels Near Me - Berkeley, California

Bageltopia shares the same building with Fellini's Coffeebar. Decor is mostly windows, beige and cream coloured walls. Seems most bagels, cream cheese, nova lox et. al are made in house as stated on menu. Offerings: cream cheese, bagels, bagel/vegan sandwiches, sweet stuff, specials, covfefe. Ordered at counter, pd, buzzer buzzed in 10ish minutes. Bites: supernova everything bagel (16) -2 open faced half toasted bagels. Piled high with fresh tasty morsels: house made smoked lox, cream cheese, red onions shreds, sliced tomato/cucumbers, dill, capers. Each complements subtly the prominent flava of the lox. Eating slowly each bite brings the nuanced flavas in distinct not muted. Bagel has nice chew, tastes overshadowed by stronger smoked lox. Easily the best lox bagel eaten in awhile. 4.8 stars. Worthy. Guantity: great, guality: superb. read more

I have never had a bagel flight...until now. What a fun concept to try a variety of different cream cheeses on mini bagels for a party of one! This was the first time I've been to Bageltopia in Berkeley after driving by it all the time. So happy I finally made it in! Vibe is the good ol' order at the register, get a buzzer, sit down, buzzer goes off kind of feel. Also to note, there is parking in the rear of businesses fyi, that I didn't notice until I found metered street parking! Currently they have a fun, spring special where you can try three different cream cheeses on mini bagels including cream cheese flavors like date & honey, black garlic, and calabrian chili..yes please! I love bagels and have a specific bagel order, but it's a commitment. The choice of being able to have a sampling of what a bagel joint offers is genius! Would honestly love to see more of this in the East Bay.. The interior of this biz gives warm and cozy..love the bagel wall art and overall friendly atmosphere. They have lotsa vegan options so def a place to bring your friends too that are looking for alternatives. Other current Spring specials are a Banana Chocolate Chip Bagel and Garlic-Blue Cream Cheese..yum! Looks like from the menu, these bagels are boiled and baked. They also offer drip coffee, bagel sammies, lox options, salads, and more. Worthy of a trip to have a little brekky fun! read more

I could not say enough great things about this place. We had driven by a few times and the cute design was what caught my eye. After looking them up I saw they had great reviews, great flavors, and a fantastic selection for both vegetarians and vegans. It was immediately a must that we had to stop in. My boyfriend tried a meat breakfast sandwich, I tried a vegan breakfast sandwich but added egg, and then we shared the bagel of the month. We also tried the carrot lox, which was delicious and Smokey. My breakfast sandwich was open faced and so full of flavor. The tofu scramble was not watery or bland like most places, it was perfect. The onions and arugula added a nice freshness to it. My partner was nervous for his sandwich to be plain or basic, but he was happily surprised to find that it was also extremely flavorful and delicious. The bagel of the month that we tried was a pesto bagel, and we got the veggie cream cheese. The bagel itself was full of pesto- you could see it throughout the bread. It was incredible. The cream cheese had a proper abundance of vegetables, and was lighter than most cream cheeses. We really appreciated this and it made us want to eat much more, instead of wiping the cream cheese off like some places. The bagels themselves were delectable. I like bagels, and have had good ones, but realized on this day I had never had one that was truly *great*. These are outstanding. Don't miss a chance to come here if you are nearby. read more

Friend and I stopped by for a bagel on a Sunday morning after coffee, and wow was this place packed! We found a cozy spot to sit that near the window where you can see the magic happening. I got a toasted salted bagel with garlic smear and lox on top. It was a delicious breakfast but the salt was very heavy handed on the bagel. Will come back to the the other flavors next time! read more

Don't let the lines discourage you. I think go fast. Good selection and decent prices are very good bagels.

Bageltopia in Berkeley specializes in New York-style bagels with a California twist. They have a whole menu section with vegan options, but I tried the Lemonnova open-faced sandwich, made of house-smoked nova lox, lemon garlic aioli, baby greens, cucumbers, and onion sprouts, all served on two halves of a toasted bagel. I ordered the everything bagel, covered on both sides with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and dried onion. The bagel was perfectly chewy and not too dense, though the nova lox slices were on the salty side. Their September special bagel was the Black Pepper Parmesan, which had a nice umami flavor combined with the chewy dough. The Black Garlic Cream Cheese had an indescribably unique garlicky, umami flavor as well, making for a tasty pairing! read more

competitive with east-coast bagels. I'm not a work-in-coffeeshop person normally but the atmosphere here is so good I keep going. I'm not vegan, but every vegan I bring here is delighted by the sandwich option. read more

Passed by this stand at the Bizerkeley Food Fest. $5 for a superclasssic on everything bagel was a pretty good deal. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything that stood out. Wish they had roasted the bagel though, it seemed like they just put the cream cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, dill, and capers on top. I had also expected it to be a whole bagel, but we only got the bottom half. read more

Bageltopia is another new entry in the Bay Area bagel landscape. What with incredible bagel spots like Boichik, Poppy's, and Beauty's all within a ten mile radius of each other, it's hard to imagine any new bagel shop standing out. And, the verdict? Bageltopia is just okay. A notch above your standard Noah's bagel but not a worthy contender for the top bagel spot in the east bay. Regardless, the bagels here are fresh, moist, and decently priced for the quality received. I ordered the sesame bagel with date honey cream cheese. The cream cheese portion left a bit to be desired but at the very least, the sesame bagel quality delivered in flavor and made up for the lack of spread. read more

As a reviewer of all things vegan, I was super psyched about this place. Vegan options + friendly staff, so I don't mind the cost. I go often for my bagel fix. Unfortunately, I've had to knock it down several stars bc there was salmon in my "vegan" bagel sandwich. I wish there could be a fully vegan breakfast place in Berkeley, the key word is Breakfast. Otherwise you always run the risk of getting some animal flesh or excretion in your meal read more

Location - A-: Busy location, but they make up for it with ample parking. Parking - A+: There is lots of parking, although I wasn't sure if they were affiliated with the coffee shop next door. I'm still not sure. Interior - A: I like what they've done with the place. Exterior - A: Nice outdoor seating. Ordering process - B-: We ordered online, which was easy enough, but they got one of the orders slightly wrong. Portion size - C-: At first we thought these were mini bagels. Taste - B+: While they got part of our order wrong, what we got was pretty good. Cost - D: High - based on the size of the bagel they used for our breakfast sandwiches, but this is an easy fix - just make the bagels normal size. There's lots of ways to cut costs, but making a very familiar product smaller shouldn't be one of them. BB BB read more

UNREAL!!! You MUST try this spit. The bagels are to die for! Every time I come I get something different. I love the tofu scramble sandwiches, The New Yorker, the Astoria... I have never had anything bad here. Service is so kind and welcoming. They play great music and keep the spot so tidy. This place is a must! read more

So yum! The woman with silver hair at the counter was incredibly kind, and everyone else was just as welcoming. The space is bright and sunny with great vibes. The bagels were super soft, and the menu had many creative bagel options. Most bagel places feel kind of, mid, I can tell that they're really trying to appeal to the californian bagel enjoyer. The quality of service really stands out, especially for the Downtown Berkeley area. read more

Honestly best bagel I've had in a while! Got their sesame bagel w/calabrian chili cc and it was spectacular.

Chai from Fellini, next door. They only have regular coffee at Bageltopia. Bit of walk from Bart, but was in area for dental appointment. About a mile to work up my appetite. Plenty of space indoors but still pretty busy Friday at 9am. Nice clean comfortable dine in experience. Easy ordering, got veganova , on sesame, not toasted. It's one of the few things I miss since wfpb conversion. You get a pager for when order ready, which I find very useful. Looks like the really thing!! Pretty dang close in texture and flavor to the original. Slightly less fishy but tasty. Nice to have a similar bagel experience for both vegan and non vegan, and not just a few vegan options. I hope to try other options but am rarely in the area. read more
