    Ham and Cheese Baguette Sandwhich
    Melanie M.

    small bakery that offers bagels / bagel sandwhiches as well as classic european style sandwhiches. my bagel sandwhich was filled with a fair amount of very fresh ingredients. the bagel itself had a nice flavor with a good chew, but it was missing the classic fluffiness and fullness of an east coast bagel ... have yet to find that in sf. the sandwhiches on baguette were very light and had simple flavors.

    Dago Bagel is a little gem. But then I realized anything Tony touches turns to delicious. I'm not entirely surprised his bagel/bakery ended up being good. Dago has a real racial and negative connotation to it. Bold by Tony to go with that name. Even bolder that he makes this giant sweet flatbread thing with all these seasonings and honey on it. They got a savory one too! The bagels are assumed. They are good. What I've realized that elite bagel places do, is that they get them seasonings on both sides of the bagel. Not just the top. I'm requesting that be done here please. The amount of cream cheese they give you just isn't enough. Such a crime to under cheese a bagel. But the quality of the cream cheese is very nice. They have a lot of other really solid offerings that come and go. All good. I think what they do well but I don't buy is the bread. They got all types of bread and I feel like if you're in the neighborhood why not buy your special bread here? Everything is made in house. Again, well done Tony. If you're reading this give me a call. I'm your biggest fan. I just want an autograph. And more of your food. Thanks. (4.3 Stars)

    Asiago bagel with scallion cream cheese
    Molly T.

    Literally best bagel in the city, in my opinion. What sets them apart is their Asiago bagels - one has peppers , one does not. Both are equally fantastic, filling, and leave you wanting more. Staff is always incredibly kind. Take time to chat with them about the place and you'll learn it's part of the highly esteemed Tony Gemignani restaurant family. You can watch them make dough as you wait for your bagel and enjoy a slice of Italian culture.

    Great bagels, flavorful lattes, and great back story. Owner Tony G transformed an offensive insult into a neighborhood favorite. Bravo!

    Debuted at the end of the pandemic in response to an ethnic slur Dago Bagel from Tony Gemignani is one of three concepts inhabiting 728 Vallejo Street, and from Thursday through Sunday beginning at 08:00am guests are welcome to enjoy everything from true New York Style Bagels to housemade loaves and traditional Italian Pastries made with skill and love. A change of pace for the lauded Pizza maker, a man whose name is nearly-synonymous with North Beach, it is inside the shop that acts as both Bakery and storefront that guests will meet well trained staff and pleasant servers more than willing to discuss products and production at length. Beginning with Bagels, developed in conjunction with Adam Sachs, Dago's collection spans from Pride to Everything and from stretchy skin to a dense interior with good chew the "best" is a matter of personal opinion whether toasted with Cream Cheese or plain. Liberally using Malt and a Cuppone Panettone deck oven imported from Italy, plus stone-ground Flour made on-site, visitors attention is next drawn to Toscano Brothers including "Gold Standard" Baguettes and Organic Sourdough Ace Pagnotta incorporating Spelt, Rosemary and Olives into a 40 year old Sourdough starter. Trending sweet from here, a Sour Cherry and Chocolate Batard souring local produce and TCHO Chocolate, Tony's "Piattina" cuts a wide swath of textures and flavors before Antonio's Italians Pastries rounds things out with classic Rainbow Cookies and world-class Lemon Ricotta Cake plus silky Budino hidden alongside Prosciutto and Mortadella in the cold case.

    Serrano bagel with honey butter cream cheese
    Tina L.

    I was missing the NY bagels so wanted to find a good bagel place nearby. This place is a gem, everything was made fresh, and I really liked serrano cheese bagel I got with honey butter cream cheese filling. Bagels are not as fluffy as NY bagels, but that's expected (I heard it's due to difference in water). I recommend this place to bagels/bread lovers!

    Got there around 9:30am on a Saturday and they still had a few of the Detroit bagels left (whew! - I had been there before and they were already out). Also grabbed some of the the chili/honey cream cheese. The cashier was very friendly, and SURPRISE I spied Tony G (the owner of the empire behind the counter working), I started chatting him up and asked for a photo - which he was happy to do. The cheese bagels were great - though I wish I had taken them home to heat first before gobbling up. Love all the Tony's businesses, and am so happy his businesses have sustained through the covid downturn.

    Detroit bagel with cheesy edges.

    Somehow the bagel is both chewy and fluffy in its deliciousness. We especially like the Detroit bagel with its cheesy edges.

    I first read about Dago Bagel, a bagel shop operating within the Toscano Brothers bakery (known for sourdough), and award-winning pizzaiolo and restaurateur Tony Gemignani in SF Eater a few months ago. I thought it was so cool he was opening up a bagelry under "dago", which is a slur for Italians. As your local Chinese-Russian-Jew, I love me some reclaiming of racial appellatives! It took a few months, but I finally made it to Dago. I go by North Beach quite a bit, but the hours never really aligned until now. First thing I noticed was the light green exterior and parklet. So bright! So cute! I took a step inside and immediately loved the interior decor as well--there's a retro Coke refrigerator and cool artwork. In addition to bagels, they offer sandwiches, cannolis, tiramisu, cookies, chews, and more. I grabbed 3 everything bagels in a bag for $3 to-go and to freeze (is that blasphemy? I thought it'd be convenient for future carbs.) I also ordered the Serrano pepper and Asiago bagel ($2.85) with Calabria cream cheese ($1.50) because it seemed like the item with the most posted pictures on their Yelp page. Delicious! I'd order it again next time, but I want to try other bagels and schmears. According to SF Eater, these are "tried and true New York-style bagels, twisted by hand, boiled in water and malt syrup, and baked to a chewy, almost tough texture. [Gemignani's] been working on the recipe for years with fellow pizza champion Adam Sachs, perfecting the style and even making his own pine boards for baking the bagels." Service was wonderful, I saw Gemignani himself and he said hi and was friendly (no big deal!) You bet I'll be back for more.

    I am an admittedly jaded New Yorker when it comes to bagels, unsolicited opinion and all. Dago bagels are by far my favorite bagels in SF - perfect amount of seasoning on the top of the bagel, great crust, and amazing chew. Their cream cheese is also delicious, especially the Calabrian chili & honey. I'm excited to have a bagel spot this good!

    detroit bagel
    Sarah C.

    known for its unique detroit-style bagel which was really a bagel on fluffy bread doused in cheese. very crispy and cheesy when freshly toasted, a tad salty but the bagel itself is chewy and not too dense. pretty novel idea but probably better appreciated by cheese-lovers

    Stella W.

    Awesome bagel! I didn't know what to expect when I stumbled on this bagel shop. This is not NYC after all...but I would say the density and the texture of Dago bagel rivals the NY bagel! No frills bagel shop and the baked goods are baked in house.

    Ducky out front.

    Cute little shop. I got the pepperoni pizza bagel! The rainbow cake, the Apricot scone and a cappuccino. We were leaving back to San Diego I opened yelp and there they were #1 on the list. Staff was great and fast.

    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!

I tried looking for this magical Gabriella's review but had to wayfind on my own so adding my directions & photos in case this may help others: -Map to: 2565 3rd Street. Look for what looks like a lobby. This is a public entrance! (You will see a parklet for the museum next door as a landmark) -Go left and get on the elevator (reads: for passengers not freight) and go to 3rd floor. -Get off the elevator, go left and then turn right down a hallway.

One of the staff members recommended the Salsa Seca with Jalapeño Spread. Salsa Seca translates to "dry salsa" and the bagel has a really nice kick to it!

I would HIGHLY recommend this small business and we'll definitely be returning next time we hit up one of their farmer's markets or check out their store front! Midnite Bagel sold its first bagel in 2018. They are more healthier, easier to digest and have a great shelf life, compared to other bagels! SYOY! :-)

I guess I should elaborate a little more for all y'all faithful Yelp readers. I tried a couple of different bagels at Noe Bagel. The sesame and everything bagels are both generously coated, with a beautiful outer crust that has just the right texture. The inside is soft and chewy. It's a classic New York-style bagel that will satisfy even your strongest bagel cravings. The mini bagels maintain that same excellence, just in a smaller form. Because of their size, the crust-to-center ratio gives you more of the micro-blistered snap that I love about bagels. Personally, I'd choose two or three minis over one regular bagel. The cream cheese is also excellent--well-balanced and smooth. My favorite is the blueberry cream cheese. It has just a hint of sweetness that brings out the richness and creaminess of the cheese. And, like many spots in San Francisco, they offer a sourdough bagel. It's quite different from their sourdough bread, but I enjoyed it. If you're visiting, I'd recommend giving it a try. For my everyday go-to, I'd stick with a classic sesame or plain bagel, but Noe Bagel has enough variety to keep things interesting if you want to switch it up regularly. As a bonus, they sell day-old bagels by the bag for $4. You can freeze them, eat them as-is, or repurpose them into bread pudding. You'll end up with an interesting dish thanks to all the different bagel varieties mixed together--but that's part of the fun!
