Came to SJ for fun with some friends and for breakfast before we decided to drive home we wanted to grab some bagels! This place was close to our airbnb, located in a plaza with lots of parking. The menu is huge! And they also provide other snacks like fruits, pastries, drinks, and cream cheese for you to take home. My friends and I grabbed lox bagels, turkey avocado bagel, plain cream cheese, egg bacon sausage, and an egg and cheese bagel. The lox bagel had a good amount of cream cheese and everything was really well proportioned. For only $10.95 it was sooo worth it! The turkey avocado bagel was the only other one I got to try and that was also very yummy. Stacked with ingredients and a ripe creamy avocado. They packed up our order super neatly in a box, labeling all items and even strategically placed cold bagels together and hot bagels together. If I'm nearby I would def come again!

Basket Bagel is a mom and pop ran store that serves a bevy of bagels, croissants, and beverages. My boyfriend got the chicken provolone on a jack bagel, and I got the salmon lox on a sesame bagel. These bagels have an excellent texture when toasted, the tough crunchy exterior paired with the chewy soft interior is perfect. I liked the salmon lox a lot, they did not skimp on the onion, tomato, or salmon for mine! My boyfriend liked the chicken provolone a lot, this scratched the bagel itch that the both of us had. It was a little wet though, there were juices dripping from the bagel so definitely don't eat this in your car!

Turkey avo club

I've come here 2x so far & would likely be a regular if I lived in the area haha. Very clean & welcoming spot - breakfast and lunch bagels have been a hit. I got the turkey avo club as well as the sausage egg cheese & both were very well made. Viet iced coffee and black coffee is strong! Service is quick and they have lots of snacks and drinks as well. They've been open for 5 months - definitely come check this place out!

This new bagel shop opened in one of those "cursed" spots in this complex that has been a bunch of different places. We are hoping that Basket Bagel sticks around! This location is relatively easy to park at since there is a huge lot, though there are a lot of businesses in the area. When you walk in, you can see the huge variety of different sandwiches and a case full of fresh bagels. There are plenty of places to sit. I got the lox sandwich on a poppy seed bagel. All the bagels looked really fresh. The bagel was nicely toasted, and the sandwich came with onions, tomato, and capers. I also tried one of the sandwiches on a croissant last month that someone brought me, and it was really good I definitely want to go back and try one of the coffees since it looked like a good selection. Also desserts looked good as well. I think this is a good place for brunch or lunch!

Very cute new bagel shop in the center at the corner of Meridian and Hillsdale. Had no idea this place had opened so decided to give it a try. I am a bagelholic and am always on the hunt for the perfect bagel. And this one is in my neighborhood so that's a huge bonus. The shop is open, spacious, and clean. I was greeted immediately. Service with a smile. The place felt welcoming and comfortable. A nice spot to relax with friends or to get some work done (they have free WiFi). We need more "third spaces" and this one is perfect for that. There's even a little outdoor patio with plenty of tables and chairs. Was craving something with a little spice so opted for a jalapeño and cheddar bagel toasted with cream cheese. The bagel was toasted well and had just the right amount of cream cheese. Quick prep time without a lot of waiting around. The bagel texture was on the softer side, probably optimal for their bagel sandwiches, versus the more dense kind you'll find at a place like Boichik. The jalapeño was abundant but not spicy. It wasn't the perfect jalapeño and cheese bagel I'm on the hunt for, but it was good. I give the bagel a 4/5. Overall I'd give them a 4.5/5 but the service and ambiance really push it up to a 5. I plan to come back to try a different bagel and a boba tea. Happy to support an independent shop and hope they do well.

Nice variety of bagel sandwiches and cafe drinks. We ordered the pesto chicken and pastrami bagel sandwiches. The fillings were generous and the toasted bagels tasted flavorful and chewy. Service was caring and prompt and the cafe is spacious and neat.

Vietnamese coffee. Delicious!
Evangelina B.

Delicious! The owners own the Donut Basket on Ross and Branham ave so you'll get the same delicious bagels and coffee at their new location. This new location offers their delicious bagels and pastries but keep in mind this new location does not offer donuts. There is plenty of parking and ample seating inside. I ordered a spinach, ham and egg sandwich on a plain bagel and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were delicious! The lady who helped me with my order was super nice too, I wish I got her name. Give their new location a try!

Turkey egg and cheese croissant
Shawna M.

Their turkey , egg and cheese sandwich is TOO DIE FOR. It is freshly made and tastes so incredibly well. Great service, super clean environment and conveniently located near a few shopping plazas.

Sausage, Egg, and Bacon
David L.

Phenomenal bagel sandwiches for great prices. So good. Great place to get some work done or just grab a quick bite with your friends. My go to is the sausage egg and bacon on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. I literally have dreams about this order on some nights.

Half of a Roast Beef Sandwich and Half of a Turkey Avocado Sandwich both on Sesame seed bagel.
Lena A.

Wonderful customer service! I purchased the Roast beef sandwich on a sesame seed bagel for my mom and I had a Turkey Avocado Sandwich on a Sesame seed Bagel. They were Amazing! The bagels were perfectly toasted yet soft. The sandwiches had fresh produce that made them so flavorful and delicious! The cafe was very clean and was set up so nicely.

Basket Bagel Cafe is the latest newcomer located in a busy strip mall along Hillsdale Avenue with ample parking. I just happened to passed by when I noticed their banner out front upon entry I was greeted by two staff employees and the place is clean, spacious so inviting that I chose to dine-in since there were no other customer. By the way they do have a large outdoor seating which is real nice on a day like this. Browsing through the menu I chose #22 chicken provolone and a large cup size Vietnamese iced coffee. I must admit the asiago bagels were a good solid healthy meal generous portion fresh veggies tender juicy chicken crispy simply delicious would definitely have that again. Judging by the reviews I can see why Basket Bagel is rated very highly giving the competitors run for their money. They're opened seven days a week during daylight hours and not in the evenings by the way they do accept cash.

They tasted incredibly fresh, like they had just come out of the oven. If you're a fan of cream cheese, the stuffed bagels are definitely worth trying. That said, I do wish they also offered plain bagels for those days I don't want something too heavy. Still, the stuffed bagels are absolutely delicious. I also ordered an iced matcha, and it was a pleasant surprise. I assumed the drinks might be more of an afterthought since it's primarily a bakery, but Bloom makes an excellent matcha. It was smooth, creamy, and well balanced. Honestly, I could see myself going out of my way just for one of their drinks. The only downside is the seating. The shop itself is pretty small, so don't expect to find a place to sit. I've always ended up taking my food back to the car to eat it. Bloom is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the smell of freshly baked bagels and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The bagels have that ideal texture--slightly crisp on the outside with a soft, chewy interior. Fresh, flavorful, and sturdy enough to hold generous fillings without falling apart. Every ingredient tasted high quality, from the creamy spreads to the fresh vegetables and perfectly prepared proteins. What really stood out was the attention to detail. Nothing felt rushed or overcomplicated; it was simply a well-made bagel crafted with care. Pair it with a cup of matcha, and it's an easy way to start the day. The staff was friendly, efficient, and patient, even during the morning rush. This resturant deserves the hype on social media. Despite a steady stream of customers, orders came out quickly, and the dining area was clean and inviting.

It's not my preferred bagel spot but when I'm in the shopping center for other business and the bagel craving strikes, I'll pop in. I typically get an everything bagel with cream cheese from this shop. The bagels always taste good but I've found that their cream cheese isn't as great as it used to be. Perhaps they changed vendors. They always toast the bagels nicely, which I appreciate. They are generous with the cream cheese which leads to a messy eating experience. You'Ll want to make sure to have several napkins. They offer a large variety of bagel flavors and there's something for every craving here. I would love if they could improve the jalapeño cheddar bagel. They put such a small amount of cheese and jalapeños to the point that I wonder why they bother. Jalapeño and cheese bagels are my preference and it seems so few places can get them right these days. Service is prompt and the turn around time from order to receipt is quick. Order at the register and pick it up at another counter when they're call your number. It's typically busy here but despite that I never wait too long. Parking lot is busy but I've never had a hard time getting a spot.

After my half-year in the Bay Area, I frequently find myself craving a good NYC-style bagel, and, while Boichik Bagels hasn't _quite_ cracked the code, they've gotten pretty darn close. Their bagels are delightfully dense and slightly chewy, with a great snap from the crust. They're a little bit heavier than my average NYC bagel, but they've definitely mastered the NYC-style ginormous schmear of cream cheese and/or loaded breakfast sandwich. I've enjoyed their bagels in both sandwich form (huge fan of the whitefish salad with cucumbers and tomatoes for a more protein-rich / substantive meal) and with just a generous helping of cream cheese (of which they have quite a few flavors, including several vegan options). They don't have a _ton_ of bagel flavors, but they do have all the classics. Boichik also has a surprising love for pumpernickel; while the classic pumpernickel is delicious, I'm a huge fan of their pumpernickel caraway salt for a bit of extra herb flavor and savoriness. The staff is friendly and efficient. While there isn't any seating inside, there's a smattering of tables outside or you can always snag a seat elsewhere in Town & Country.
