Bageletto bagels are big, dense, chewy and so flavorful you'll wonder,…read more "How did I ever accept brand X at the grocery store?" No, Bageletto is worth a side trip. Buy extra, vacuum seal and freeze them. Or drop extra at my house because my son FINNcinerator ate 9 Bageletto bagels in less than 2 days. NINE. It might've been spurred by Bageletto's heavenly fig & bacon cream cheese spread but that's an aria you don't have time to sight read. Just buy everything in this store and go home happy.

Service was super quick between ordering and receiving food. Getting into the food, I think this was a pretty decent bagel sandwich. The bagel itself was on the saltier side (everything bagel). The cream cheese tasted really good. However, I did not like how the contents were practically spilling out as I had my bagel. It definitely felt slightly more messy than other bagels I have had. I would definitely recommend this place. Maybe not for a first date, but a quick lil Sunday brunch.

Great Reuben Sandwiches!…read more This location is very convenient to BART (24th Street / Mission station). It is only a three block walk from the station. My wife and I were meeting someone in San Francisco in the afternoon and we wanted to eat lunch beforehand. We were interested in trying Wise Sons Deli since we have heard so many people praising it. Since we were coming into the city via BART, this location was great. The ambiance is pretty basic; ordinary tables and chairs and only some photos on one wall. You order and pay at the counter and then someone will deliver the food to the table. If you want coffee or water it is serve-yourself. However, the food is fantastic! My wife ordered a corned beef Reuben sandwich ($18.50). It was thick and very tasty. I ordered a House Special Pastrami Reuben that had a smaller Reuben sandwich, french fries, a side of cole slaw, and a drink ($19.50). While it had half as much meat as the regular Reuben, it was still a good size. They make their own Pastrami and Corned Beef and it tastes great. My wife normally doesn't like Pastrami but loved the taste of Pastrami made by Wise Sons. The meat is thick, tender, juicy, and DELICIOUS!

Friendly guy behind counter said sorry, onion sold out and offered garlic. I changed my order to sesame, which was available. Guy apologized again about not having onion for me, and offered me a free drink! Wow, awesome customer service (offering drink that probably cost more than my $3.25 purchase!), but I declined free drink since I was on my way to an appointment. Sesame bagel was perfect - texture of slightly crispy crust generously coated in sesame seeds and chewy inside, with subtle malt flavor. Took one delicious bite before my appointment, then bagel still tasted fresh 2 hours later. Didn't miss onion bagel.

You can smell Boichik Bagels as you're walking up to the storefront, which is located on a quiet…read morestreet near the Presidio. We arrived around 11AM and sadly they were sold out of a lot of their bagel flavors already. FOOD: I ordered a toasted Poppy bagel with lox cream cheese and tomato. I had really high expectations for the bagels here given all the hype on social media, especially being a New Yorker looking for something just as good as home. Boichik doesn't skimp on the cream cheese - it was a very generous amount! However, I agree with some of the other reviews, the bagel itself was hard. The bagel was a bit flat and the texture wasn't as fluffy as I was expecting. Overall, I think I'd stop in again if I were in the area, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back again.

On the bagel was an House dill-cured salmon (3 oz), lemon aioli, herb salad, tomato, red onion. I removed onions. Very good because of the bagel. Not worth $17. No cream cheese on it which it needed.

Schlok's bagels & lox, has been on the most try list for a hot minute…read more There are quite a few bagel shops in around the San Francisco area, so competition can be fierce. Overall, the experience and the food, sits about a 3.5 star experience. The people in the shop were nice, but not overly welcoming. The price point, quality versus quantity, etc., will make you question the cost factor, because this is not an inexpensive quick bite. Having said that, they have cure their lox. I ordered extra lox, because I've been told that the quantity wasn't there. I will say that I was glad that I ordered extra, because I think it made for a pretty tasty bite. The bagels are boiled, so there's that pillowy bounce. What I absolutely enjoyed about this big experience is that it's not basic. It's refined and elevated. Herb, lemon, lox is the way to go! Yes, spend the extra money and get the extra lox. Lemon aïoli, tomato, red onion, you can tell why this is just absolutely perfection! I enjoyed the bagel and it definitely is better than others that I've had in and around the general area. The ingredients/toppings are fresh, I just wish they were a little bit more generous on their own. The lox is pretty tasty, and I can tell you that I'm generally pretty picky, and this really stepped up to that plate. For those craving a little bit of sweetness after their meal, they do sell cookies, and I grabbed their marshmallow cookie. The cookie was pretty meh. I definitely would take a pass on the cookie. Service was the big hold back, but I will say that I will go back and try some of their other menu items.

Look for what looks like a lobby. This is a public entrance!

MIDNITE BAGEL is one of my top favs for bagels. Founder, Nick, was the head bread baker from…read moreTartine and started as a pop up in Tartine in 2019. That brings a great background of experience to Midnite Bagel. I first encountered them at the local farmers market then briefly at a brick and mortar shop on Irving Street in the inner Sunset. Now it's back to farmers markets and then, if all else fails, their bakery headquarters on Illinois Street in the Dogpatch neighborhood. Beware It's not a traditional store front or entrance. A little like connecting with a secret underground club or speakeasy! Lol!!! At the brick and mortar shop and the farmers market the staff is always nice and helpful with picking out bagels if undecided. If going to the Dogpatch location at least by now you'll know what you want. Place your order and pick it up. All their bagels are good fresh or toasted - plain, sesame, onion, poppy seed, Everything, etc. - plus their shmears and chocolate chip cookies!!!! I'll always do a dozen plus a scallion or plain shmear. Still wish for a brick and mortar location but in the meanwhile. I'll happily find them wherever they are!

Haha. I didn't think too much of it but I had ordered me a chocolate muffin and didn't care whether it was warmed up or not and they were nice enough to have it slightly warm for me which I thought was thoughtful :). The price is pretty reasonable for the quality of food. P.S. I had took a few photos of the bathroom pics that they had on the wall which I thought was cute and quirky.

Update to a Formerly Glowing Review…read more This is an update to what was once a glowing review of my beloved Pizzahacker. I've been going for many, many years (close to 10--or more?), so it pains me to say that some changes under new management have shifted the experience for me. Jeff Krupman, the founder and chef (who ended up being a friend!) sold the business to one of his longtime employees a year ago or more ago. (He still owns the Mill Valley location). While they tried to keep a lot of things the same h feel noticeably different. It's interesting that it still shows his name as manager. Here's what I've noticed--not in a good way: The menu now feels overwhelmingly meat-forward, with a dearth of thoughtfully designed vegetarian pizzas. I have mentioned this to Jesse (longtime staff) and a female server, asking them to pass this along. Each pizza also seems to have several more ounces of (still very delicious sourdough) dough. The crust is significantly thicker, and there's simply more of it. What once felt light and beautifully balanced now feels heavier. Vegetarian options are largely reduced to subtraction of meat . I've spoken with longtime waitstaff (including Jesse) and asked that this feedback be shared with Juan, the new owner. One server suggested I could just order a pizza without the meat. But a thoughtfully composed vegetarian pizza is very different from a meat pizza with ingredients removed--and at $24, paying full price for a pizza minus its main topping feels unfair. Perhaps there could be a cheaper option availabile for meaty pizzas without the meat. Please consider making The Summer Fave year round, bringing back the Inside Out, and/or creating more pizzas that don't center around multiple meats. Also, I know that the new management has changed some of the ingredients that made their pizzas so special and delicious. In particular, the sausage on the Yo Vinny, which used to be house made is now closer to the generic sausage you'd find at Pizza Hut. Loses so much of the experience to change to these cheaper ingredients. (I lean vegetarian as much as possible but make occasional exceptions, so I know this!) I used to go to Pizzahacker weekly and look forward to it with genuine excitement. Now, while I still enjoy the occasional pizza, that sense of anticipation is gone. I do want to say I'm grateful that my beloved Intermezzo salad remains unchanged--and I still care deeply about this place. I love PH--please consider the earnest pleas of a longtime customer who has eaten there many dozens of times.
