Daily special: tuna salad!
Mabel H.

I've been wanting to try Boichik Bagels!! I don't visit this area often, so I was excited when my friend sent me info on Phin Bar's pop-up at Boichik :) There is no space indoors for seating, but there's plenty of outdoor seating and plaza parking. My friend ordered the Classic (which is the...classic...lox bagel ha! $16) and I ordered the daily special which was tuna ($15). SO excellent and satisfying I tell you. We ate it at 9:00am and I wasn't hungry until 3:00pm lol. My bagel had Alfredo cream cheese which is just crazy??? It's messy to bite into as expected but it did not deter us from enjoying :) Upon ordering, be ready with the type of bagel you want and toasted or untoasted. Service was speedy and they call your name when it's ready for you to pick up at the counter. I can't wait to come back for a build-your-own!

Chef's kiss for this bagel and cream cheese. Got the everything bagel with the seasonal spring cream cheese and it did not disappoint. The bagel itself was so fresh and the perfect texture, the cream cheese was so flavorful and they DO NOT skimp. Also got an iced matcha which was delicious!! Lots of outdoor seating and they even have Bocce you can borrow.

Special
Ashley V.

Been here so many times and decided it was time for a review. The bagels are really tasty, with lots of flavor. They also offer a good variety of both bagels and cream cheese. I do wish that bagels were a little softer. The workers are always kind and service is pretty quick. The inside is small, but lots of tables outside. Pet friendly and plenty of vegetarian options If you're lucky you'll get to come here on a day when Ujicha is popped up!

Blood orange cold brew iced tea of the day
Kristine F.

OMG I'm in LOVE with the egg salad + avocado + tomato + cucumber! Add a flavored cold brew iced tea and you've got my heart. I'm still searching for my favorite bagel from here tho. I've had pumperthingle, everything, salt & pepper, and garlic. All the ones with flaky sea salt were too salty for me. Maybe I'll get original pumpernickel next? As a Californian, make sure to get your bagel toasted! I learned that the hard way. These NY style bagels are very dense. My first visit was almost two years ago, early January 2024? I'm glad I gave Boichik another chance. I called to see what the iced tea flavor of the day was. The employee on the phone was so nice and courteous! She informed me it was Wild Strawberry. I just had Guava from Los Gatos a week prior and it was good (I also love guava flavor). Strawberry was so refreshing and lightly sweetened. Very pretty color gradient too. I was able to snag a round Challah bread to take home on the last day they sold it. Their version is so soft and sweet. Reminds me of Filipino monay bread. I added some organic Clover butter. This location has a high ceiling, light and airy with natural sunlight from the floor to ceiling windows. Very inviting and staff is great! I gotta try the whitefish salad soon with heirloom tomato & cucumber (The Mensch), maybe on a garlic bagel.

Eggything bagel with lox cream cheese, cucumber, pickled onions, sprouts
Michelle T.

First time ordering a bagel sandwich at Boichik Bagels. I decided to go with the daily special, which was Lox cream cheese, sprouts, cucumbers, and red onions on an Eggything bagel. This came out to $8.75 total. While there was a bit too much cream cheese for my liking, I enjoyed the classic lox flavor with vegetables. It was my first time trying an egg-based bagel - it wasn't overly "eggy", and the only difference compared to a regular bagel is that the eggs made it a bit denser. This is definitely filling so I would recommend sharing any of these bagel sandwiches that are more substantial with multiple toppings.

Absolutely disgusting experience. I ordered 3 bagels to go, and when I got into my car to eat, I found an insect embedded right in the sandwich. When I went back inside to quietly report this health hazard, the supervisor, Mckienzee, was incredibly combative and rude. Instead of apologizing, she kept cutting me off, claimed she "made it herself," and aggressively told me to leave and "denied me service"--when I was literally just trying to return contaminated food! She also refused to let me speak to a manager, claiming they were out of town for a week and a half. I got my money back, but a refund doesn't make up for serving bugs or treating customers like garbage. I've already filed an official report with the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health. See the attached photos for exactly what they are serving here. Stay away! UPDATE: After leaving the store, I sent an email to corporate with photos of the insect (WhatsApp Image 2026-06-15 at 10.41.28 AM.jpeg). Both the CEO and COO reached out almost instantly. They were completely appalled by both the food contamination and the supervisor's behavior. They took full accountability, offered a sincere apology, and are actively correcting the issues at this location. It is incredibly rare to see owners care this much and act this fast. The store staff gets 0 stars, but the executive team gets 5 stars for stepping in and making it right.

My favorite bagel spot exits in Oakland. But, I'm not always ready to drive to the East Bay just to make sure I get my favorite carb fix. On those days, I still need a yummy bagel that leaves me satisfied, and this is a job for Boichik! When I'm feeling adventurous, I'll try the sandwich of the day, or the seasonal smear. And when I want my regular, it's the Pumperthingle Classic toasted. And this location is really nice! It's got bocce available, lots of outdoor seating, friendly workers with gorgeous freckles that always have a kind word to share. It's also queer inclusive. We love this!

We just noticed that there was a Boichik Bagel in Santa Clara! We ordered the "build your own bagel", which allowed you to choose the bagel, spread, protein, and veggies. We got a Poppy bagel with Lox and a sesame bagel with egg salad. They gave us a very generous portion of cream cheese! You can't go wrong with Lox in a bagel. The egg salad was better than my expectation. It was creamy and came well with the cream cheese. The store was located in a plaza near an industrial area in Santa Clara. There were a lot of parking spaces and some outdoor seating. There was a long line when we arrived on Sunday around lunch time. Will definitely come back for more bagels :)

I've never had a pizza bagel and it did not disappoint! I liked how the cheese wasn't overpowering and that there wasn't much pepperoni because it tends to get oily. The Nova Lox was superb, they are so generous with the amount of salmon!

Daily Special (subject to change)
Allison P.

A solid NYC-style bagel! They have a variety of bagels, schmears, and the cutest collection of merch! I went with their daily special (which is subject to change!) on a Garlic Bagel. On the day of my visit, the daily special consisted of picked red onions, tomatoes, capers, and chive cream cheese. Super refreshing yet filling! The bagel was on the doughier side, but paired perfectly with the creamy schmear. I will say that they go pretty heavy on the cream cheese, but I'm not complaining!

Everything Bagel with Lox Spread
Jacqueline Z.

Came here on a Sunday morning and decided to get the Everything Bagel with Lox Cream Cheese. The bagel was more on the doughy side and quite filling. The lox cream cheese was delicious and there was a good amount of it on the bagel. Definitely felt full after eating it. There was a small bit of egg on the side of my bagel, so there may be a bit of cross contamination.

Let's see what the fuss is about!

Ventured in to Boichik on a recent Saturday morning and was greeted by a small line snaking out the front door around 10AM. I kinda low key really dig this shopping center (kinda a weird thing to be into I guess). It's sorta in a no where pocket north of the airport and south and of Levi's stadium surrounded by office parks and industrial spaces across San Thomas. My friends and I affectionately call it, "The Outpost." But, I digress! I had the lox bagel at $16 and you know what, it was fine. Not mind melting but fine. It was certainly hefty and had a fair amount of lox, schmear, tomatoes, capers etc. I think what made it very middling was the fact that the constituent parts were not seasoned. I didn't get a strong salty or smoky flavors from the lox and the tomatoes were not seasoned. I was surprised at the lack of punchy flavors. Also, I have always felt a lox bagel is best served open faced as it showcases the ingredients and makes it easier to eat. I get this preparation would be a logistical nightmare for a grab and go spot. But, trying to eat a thick sandwich with soft creamcheese in the middle is almost impossible. Another word about the cream cheese, there was a lot but it was fairly flavorless. I believe the cream cheese is whipped which may account for the lack of punchy cheese flavors. I had the lox on the everything bagel which was the standout. Great chew, well baked, awesome seasoning and just a pleasant bite overall. The bagel was truly the saving grace and this IS a bagel spot so I have no qualms about pushing the stars up to 4. I took home another everything bagel and a pumpernickel and raisin. They were both SOLID and paired well with the brick of Philadelphia cream cheese I had in my fridge. Finally, I humbly recommend taking your bagel to the Starbucks in this shopping center. I truly believe it has the best seating of any Starbucks in the South Bay. They have a lot of comfy spaces and tons of large outdoor seats. I grabbed a blonde roast and had my lox and a coffee while people watching. Really not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning. I will venture back to, "The Outpost" soon...

Gluten free everything bagel toasted with vegan chive cream cheese and nova lox
Hong P.

Generally most bakeries do not have gluten free options and I was pleasantly surprised that this bagel shop does have a gluten free bagel. I order a gluten free bagel toasted with vegan chive cream cheese and nova lox. It took a few minutes since there were orders ahead of me. It has a generous amount of cream cheese and the nova lox was delicious. Highly recommended for those who missed having a good (not store bought) bagel.

The only critique I have is the music being way too loud at times. It's NOT what type of music is playing, but purely the volume.

It wasn't crazy busy so it was easy to order through one of their two tablets and find a spot to sit. It is very spacious and filled with many tables, so even when busy you'll likely be able to find a spot. The menu is a bit messy to look at--there is a big menu hanging over the kiosks, another posted alongside where a line is formed, then the menu on the tablet kiosks themselves. It's a pretty big menu featuring primarily coffee-based drinks, matcha lattes, and a wide variety of food, so you'll likely find something appealing. I ordered their smoked salmon bagel (which rang up to about $16) and their matcha latte ($8); to be honest, neither were outstanding. The salmon and avocado in the bagel were great, but the bagel itself was a bit stale--for $16, it's a bit hard to swallow. The matcha was very milky, and there is another store offering better matcha drinks in the same plaza. I'll admit, though, it's a little on me for not picking coffee at a spot with "coffee" in the name. I will say, though, that the atmosphere in the main area is pretty good; the decor is understated but comfortable, and the lighting is good. The service is also solid--the servers are friendly and our order came out quickly. I will say that the bathroom feels ominous. Overall, it's a great spot to study; Big Mug is open late, has free Wi-Fi and a bathroom for customers, and offers both food and caffeinated drinks for longer study sessions. I feel that the prices vary widely for items but skew towards being too pricy for the quality, at least from my limited experience. I plan on coming back to give other items a try, but for now, it's not a favorite.

You won't accidentally stumble upon it unless you make an effort to seek it out. Despite this, it seems to be well known by locals and the seating area gets full at times. There is plenty of seating inside, and some outside. Outlets can be found it some tables. It's a good place to work with your laptop. It's mostly tables for 2. There's a larger communal table, and some counter seating. Parking can be difficult. There's a small area in the parking garage for "guest" parking. It's almost always full and you will depend on luck to find one spot there or arrive in time when someone is leaving their spot. There is no parking on most of the surrounding streets, except for the small section of the road that curves underneath Lawrence. And that part is often full of parked cars. It can be frustrating and this parking situation will easily drive away customers to find somewhere else with easier parking. If you're fortunate enough to get parking, you will find that Coffeebar offers a decent coffee menu, baked goods, and some food if you need more than a snack. The people working behind the counter have all been very friendly and helpful. Their Chocolate Croissant is HUGE!!! They'll ask if you want it warmed up. Definitely do this. It is delicious slightly warmed up. I have tried their Iced Chai Latte, which was just OK. It lacked the spice I was expected from a chai, and felt a bit too milky. I prefer their Iced Caramel Latte, which is much better than the Chai. Next time I will try their Mocha.

Only one tall seat; wish there were more tall seats which is healthier :(…read more Pros - nice and clean restroom, gives it an upscale vibe - They are nice enough to give you free refills when you have your own cup - Cal-train station is nearby WiFi SSID: "@Coffeebar Guest WiFi"

It was about 28 dollars for the entire experience and it includes one hour of cat time and a drink. Make sure to be on time for your reservation because you can only go in during the hour you reserved. If you are ten minutes late, you don't get an extra ten minutes after the hour is up. So worth it and would recommend for anyone to try!

You really feel transported to a different world in the middle of Santa Clara. The servers are very polite. So today I took my kids to this place as the summer is ending and I wanted my 9 year old to enjoy this place. She ordered an Oreo cheesecake, her first time trying a cheesecake. She absolutely loved it. We also ordered the beehive which is a unique Persian bread with nigella and sesame seeds filled with cream cheese ( but it tasted more like feta) and drizzled with honey. We liked it but as my daughter said- ' if it were alive, it would have drowned in honey by now'. Too much honey for our liking. Would have been nice if they had asked us or given a heads up that they will be pouring honey on it. Now comes the Adeni chai. The reason I went here again. It was a very sad excuse of a tea. Very cold even when I expressly requested for it to be extra hot. Even after reheating it was still cold. And worse- it had tea leaves coming in sips. I make regular tea at home and I don't understand what kind of a sieve they used. It was unpleasant. I didn't want to ask again to make another cup. But safe to say, I will not be returning. And prices- my goodness! Exorbitant! I spent nearly 30$ for a cup of tea, one small slice of cheesecake and one slice of beehive bread. That to me is daylight robbery. Not worth it. Skip it. If you are looking for a place for a business meeting , consider it as it is a nice place to sit for hours.
