Stopped by while in the area. My breakfast sandwich was good overall - warm, cheesy, soft. I chose the pesto bagel for the bread and it was not overwhelming. I'd say the cons are that fresh eggs aren't used, prices weren't up to date on the menu, and service could be nicer to first timers. Their plain glazed donuts were standard. There are no outside tables. It's located in a large plaza so plenty of parking is available. read more

Bernal Bagels & Donuts - Breakfast Sandwich - Bagels Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here in the morning got a ham and cheese croissant and I got a sandwich for lunch, turkey avocado, bacon on a jalapeño bagel. It's disappointing, barely any bacon in it or turkey. It's loaded with veggies. I'm sorry, but if I wanted a veggie sandwich, I would've ordered one.. if you're gonna sell your sandwiches with meat in it, put some damn meat in it and less of the veggies. Same goes with the ham and cheese, croissant, barely anything in it. Coming From, a former togos sandwich maker (when I was a teenager) Where customers would come to only me to make their sandwiches and give me a good tip because of it. The picture is one thin slice of turkey folded. FYI, I'm being very generous of three stars.. only because I've been coming here for years and I feel bad. read more

The donut I received tasted old. Not fresh. I ordered a coffee and the worker stopped in the middle of preparing it and took & prepared another person's order while I waited. This person had arrived after I did. It wasn't busy. Just myself and the person that came in after me. I'll take my business to O'Henry's on Cottle. read more

I recently got a job around this area and was asked if I would like to have bagels brought back. I put in my order for an everything bagel, toasted with cream cheese. I received a poppy seed bagel toasted with cream cheese. As for the flavor of the food, I would describe it as an average bagel. A couple of us in our group said they had slightly upset stomachs after eating the bagels and cream cheese, I didn't have that issue as much. I would like to give them another chance as this was my 1st time trying out this spot, but I'll likely check out other local shops before returning. read more

This parking lot used to be pretty dead, but now it seems a little more busier. I am so happy that this donut shop made it through the pandemic, and I love their moist yet outside crispy croissants!!! Pretty simple and easy decor of menu/pictures with numbered breakfast sandwiches along with some beautiful paintings from Asia. Hee looking around at their delicious pictures always makes me hungry! They also have Boba and smoothies! read more

How does one spend 22 dollars on 2 chocolate custard (one squirt of custard in each) a chocolate twist and a turkey avocado on jalapeño bagel. Thats where, not going back ever. I went to my usual donut shop and got a dozen chocolate custard bars (not the rounds this place had) AND went to a bagel shop across the way and got 2 avocado turkey with bacon for the same price. No thanks I'm not gonna get ripped off again read more

Stopped by after shopping since we were craving some sweet treats. This donut shop is in the same plaza as the Grocery Outlet. Ended up getting some glazed donut holes. Since we came later in the day, they'd already been sitting out a bit, which I don't mind. Service was easy and quick. There weren't any other people inside at the time. Shop interior is simple with the baked goods counter center stage. The donut holes were okay. More oily tasting than I expected. I probably won't get them again. read more

Always friendly and quick. Lots of options of donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Reliable. Sweet to their regulars. Even made my daughter a Mickey Mouse donut for her birthday when we picked up donuts for her party. read more

they upcharge for everything! the girl had a bad attitude and when she saw i clicked no tip after our interaction, she left my bag on the counter close to where she was and walked off. did not hand it to me, no thank you or anything. just simply turned her back n walked off. there's too many donut shops in the area to spend my money here. not ever coming back to this establishment. all the reviews about bad service and attitude is valid. read more

First time here. Ordered 3 bacon,sausage, egg and cheese bagels The eggs are microwaved, the sausage microwaved, the bagels were at least run through a toaster. After paying, was given the option to tip, I decided not for whatever reason. After getting into eating, noticed no bacon although they charged me for it. I don't feel so bad for not tipping. Overall it's a ok bagel sandwich. read more

Amazing place, very nice people, good food selection! Every time I come, I get to chop it up with the guy in the front. Never got to ask for his name but we recognize each other and is always a great exchange. Wishing him and their business the best. read more

My total was $9.01 for a ham and cheese croissant and a small coffee. Pricey! Croissant had the ham and cheese only in the middle.

Really good bagel spot. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the place has a nice, relaxed vibe. It's clean, comfortable, and a great spot to stop by. The food is good too. read more

I have been coming to the bagel shop for the last 5 years. The first 4 years I would say this place was 5 stars. Before coming to yelp I did call the owner about quality issues, and I am very disappointed that the quality of my morning bagel has significantly decreased over the last year. They often burn my bagel and don't put cream cheese on the bagel all the way around. Please see attached picture. This has been happening every single time I've been going there for the past year. The place is usually packed. Donuts are good. If you want a better experience go down by lucky to the other bagel spot. The selection is bigger and quality is better of the bagel and Thai tea. read more

Bernal Bagels & Donuts - A bagel with inadequate cream cheese to bagel ratio. - Bagels Near Me - San Jose, California

We came here on a Sunday after 11am as Regal Bagel had a super long line. It was our first time here and at this time pickings were slim after the early am rush crowd. No long lines, but there was a steady flow. I do like the fact they offer a wide variety of items, not only bagels, but doughnuts, savory bagel and croissant sandwiches, and various coffees and boba drinks. We ordered the sausage, egg, bacon, and cheese and the egg, bacon , tomato, avocado Both were good- bagels are smaller and not as dense. Easy to eat, and still a little hungry afterwards. I'd like to come back at an earlier time to try some of their doughnuts and bagels . read more

Today is my second day in a row coming to this donut/bagel shop. I ordered a bagel yesterday that had the thinest layer of cream cheese I've ever seen on a bagel as you could see the entire bagel through the cream cheese. They did a very light skim coat yesterday so today wanting more cream cheese I asked for the same bagel with extra cream cheese. They charge me $6.50 for one bagel and at most bagel shops I would get double the cream cheese that they gave me when I ordered extra cream cheese very disappointing as I could've bought a whole tub of cream cheese from the refrigerator And the bagel for less price. read more

I ordered three Spam, egg, and cheese on croissants sandwiches and they were delicious. They were made to order which is always a plus. Also had a donut, they were okay. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Best BAGELS I have ever had in life! Soooo fresh and chewy. Everything is super fresh. Also, apple fritters are outstanding! Slightly crispy on the outside with a moist apple filling. My new go to bagel and donut shop. read more

Stopped by with my partner on a rainy day, a couple of hours before they closed. The shop is small, but it feels cozy and by the photos of the food on the wall, I knew this place was going to be good. Our service was quick and the staff were friendly. We both got croissant sandwiches which we happily enjoyed at one of their tables. The food was hot and delicious. I will be stopping here anytime I'm in the area. read more

Came in for a small bite to eat with my son. Table was dirty, asked if I could get a cloth to wipe the table. She said she would do this, 2 swipes across the table with attitude and walked away and still dirty. Gave our sandwiches to another couple, they opened and touched, realized not theirs. Asked shop to make them again, just rewrapped and handed to us. Asked for napkins, given with attitude again. I come here for my business all the time buying donuts for customers. I will not return. This is the 3rd issue with customer service we have experienced. Shop getting dirtier and dirtier each time i go. RUDEST customer service i have ever experienced here. read more

Service here is terrible. I paid 24$ for two bagels and two donuts. On top of that my bagels didn't even have cream cheese. They're cheap here and only want money. They do not care about customer service or even decent service. I asked for a plain cup of just ice and they wanted to charge me $2. Will never be coming back. Stay away! Main St Bagels is the place to go. They are so warm and welcoming and extremely nice. Go there! read more

COVID19 UPDATE: I came by early Sunday morning and was disappointed when a woman walked in with no mask and a man was standing inside with no mask. There was at least 4 signs on the window to wear a mask, social distance, and only 4 people in the store at a time. I wanted to turn around but I decided to order what I came for. My order consisted of two plain bagels with cream cheese, 2 hot chocolates, 1 coffee, and a variety of donuts (including sugar my favorite). I decided to wait outside while my order was being made. Both of the staff were wearing masks. Bagel, donuts, and hot chocolate are still delicious. They pour the coffee and cream and give you packets of sugar. Unfortunately, since they aren't enforcing their own mask requirement I will not be returning in the near future. My observation of the entire shopping center is a ton of people walking around with no masks. Certain restaurants in that area have dine out options with clusters of people with no masks on. I'll be avoiding the entire area until further notice. read more

This is the second time I receive my bagel with no cream cheese on one side. Very disappointing first time I thought could be that one time but apparently it's on going. They are stingy with the cream cheese. If you like your bagel with a good amount of spread out cream cheese then this is not the place. read more

Bernal Bagels & Donuts - Not enough cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - San Jose, California

All Chocolate covered donuts at this shop taste like cleaning chemicals ever since the new owners took over. They will make you sick. They taste like ammonia. The first time this happened, we were shocked and didn't go back for months. But we returned against better judgment, and sure enough, the chocolate is still tainted with the ammonia taste. When I brought this to their attention, strangley enough, she acknowledged it by saying, "Oh, it's just the ingredients, we bought this shop, and that's the ingredients we got." As if that makes selling ammonia tasting donuts ok. Oh, and their muffins are literally just Costco muffins. Yes, they just resell Costco muffins individually and display them as if they made them. It's actually the best item they have, lol. read more

The service and food is top notch. I go here almost every weekend. Service is fast, and the food is delicious.

One of my favorite spots in San Jose! Food is awesome, Coffee is amazing! The owner and her son are always working hard!

Such nice and welcoming service, the food was great, and the ambiance was just such a positive vibe!

Been coming here for years but today was my last visit. The prices have gotten to be so ridiculous! I paid $19 for half a dozen. And they told me because I had 1 large donut. To top it off the large donut I got tasted like chemicals. read more

Asked them for help.. lost my job .they told me it was their business.. asked for a free sandwich. They said no.

Honestly this place use to be so much better with the old owners I went today to order a plain egg and cheese and a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. instead of my egg and cheese bagel i got a plain. The customer service is bad. After i paid i walked away and the lady says i didn't pay and turns her tablet around so i can give her a tip. She then says rudely that i need to sign even tho there was nothing to sign. Would not come back The old owners need to come back! read more

I've been coming here for five years and they never disappoint when I need a savory breakfast sandwich! I usually order the egg, bacon, sausage and cheddar cheese sandwich on a jalapeno cheddar bagel and it's divine. I love me some protein and that order definitely satisfies my meaty needs. They always have a shorter line than the more popular Regal Bagel shop down the street, but I think they are just as good or even better. They have freshly made donuts here, which I haven't gotten in a while because I'm watching my carb intake nowadays, but it is a definite upside compared to Regal Bagel. The employees are always nice and fast as well so overall they get an easy 5/5 from me! read more

Kim and Vanessa are great. I come here every morning for a great iced americano and marinara cheese bagel. The food is amazing! Be sure to visit if youre in the area. read more
