The Posh Bagel - Gluten free plain with plain cream cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Menlo Park, California

This Posh location is just ok. The employer that helped me was really dull in attitude. She was just blah; no optimism which I get because it's the morning but c'mon lol. Not sure if there was a huge rush this morning but a lot of the bagel shelves were empty. I had their cheddar bagel with cream cheese and this was disappointing. Not only were they small in size but it did NOT taste or look like the cheddar bagels from the Mountain View location. The employees and bagels are WAY BETTER over there! This location is slightly depressing and idk why but that's the vibes. It is what it is. I won't be back. read more

I got to try this location using the Too Good To Go app and was really pleased with the bagels I received. They were too much for me to eat alone, so I shared with colleagues and they also enjoyed them. There are many flavors here and you can try the classic, poppy seed, chocolate chip, and many more. Lightly toast with some cream cheese on top and you're golden! I saw that there are also other items on the menu if bagels aren't your thing. No wait and there is a public parking lot close by. Drop by here for a coffee or bagel the next time you're in the area! read more

BEWARE! Staff is NOT trustworthy! My daughter left her iPad there and we called about 10 minutes after leaving. We were hung up on 2x and then told it was not there (despite find my device)! My daughter had to confront the staff worker and threaten to call the police before it was surrendered. It's a shame. read more

Rude, unprofessional and racist customer service. Not even worth one star! They gave preferential treatment to people who were in que after us. The gal did not even have our order correct, not writing the order so no surprises there for messing up. Not worth spending your hard earned $ on businesses who do not want/appreciate your business. read more

New owners refused to honor a $20 gift card I had received for Christmas - from the previous owner who apparently left on New Year's Eve. Had they chosen to honor the gift card and at least cover the cost of my bagel, they would have gained a customer. Instead - they've lost one, as well as any future recommendations. read more

Don't come here! We walked in around 3pm, they didn't tell us that they are closed so we just ordered a bagel with salmon, a plain bagel and a few piece salmon cost me 15 dollars, the item was not on the menu and they just made the number up! During the food preparation the girl stated eating the stuff from the cutting board!! After we paid and ready to sit down to eat then they told us to leave because they actually closed! But they didn't tell us until we paid. Filthy and dishonest place! Never come here read more

I just ordered a sausage, egg and cheese bagel for delivery. There was no sausage!! How hard was it to make a regular menu item properly? I paid way too much for this. I'm not happy. read more

Outrageous. Quiet empty Wednesday PM. At least 10-12 dozen bagels behind the counter and one extremely nasty young lady who was clear to tell me when I asked to speak to "the owner" (A nicer lady who we have picked up items from before) that she is the "owners daughter". Here's a message to the owner about how your daughter treated me today after 15 plus years of shopping intermittently at Posh Bagels. We will never return. Apparently I'm not alone based on many many awful reviews relating to uncalled for disrespectful service. Keep your mediocre bread products and nasty customer service and attitude. I did nothing wrong when I asked to not get any bagels with nuts and fruit in my dozen bagels. Of course you had to give me a bagel with chocolate chips despite my request for unsweetened and non-fruit and nut containing bagels !! The bag seemed empty when you handed it to me and it was. When I got home it was many short. Apparently a dozen is now 9! Seriously - NINE bagels including one with chocolate chips ? Shameful business practice and please count us among the MANY former customers that will no longer be spending our hard earned $$$ at your establishment. Now it is clear to me why you have a pathetic 2 star rating on YELP. You apparently don't like or care about customers. Perhaps we might recommend a career change ? Let me help since you seem to be working hard to get your rating all the way down to 1 star. You have my strong ( negative ) support ! Well done ! One star it is. If only Zero stars was possible! We are Done w Posh Bagels Menlo Park. read more

There was nothing special, the bagel itself tastes like average bagel and a bit pricey. Do not recommend to have breakfast there.

Really solid bagel place, plenty of options, incredible location downtown. Food was tasty, cooked properly, not burnt and reasonably priced!

Not really sure why so many negative reviews here. I will say they're not gonna be super friendly here, order directly, keep it simple without too many complex requests and you'll be fine. Yes I can see language barrier being an issue but that's not gonna change unless it's a different ownership! Their bagel sandwiches are delicious in my opinion. They have plenty of options. Bagels are fresh and tasty. Haven't tried their drinks yet, I've seen quite a few teenagers coming in here for their iced coffee and boba etc so I'm assuming it's good. As for cleanness - no I have not seen rats (as per previous infamous review), I did not see staff eat off pieces from orders etc. Honestly I don't look very closely. I just want my food to be made and to eat. Could there be issues with how clean this place and how well the food is handled? Perhaps. I can't say. But honestly the standard of take out and eating out has become so subpar nowadays post pandemic that I don't see why this place should be held to any higher standard than other ones. If these things bother you then for sure don't come here. I will just wrap it up by saying that I've been here plenty of times - bagels are good and fulfilling and service is decent. It's not the most amazing bagel place you'll encounter in your life hence the one star off lol but honestly how many of such bagel places exist anyway? Anyway come here, enjoy your food, keep it straight forward with ordering and I promise you won't die from food poisoning. I haven't and I've had food here many times! read more

My senior citizen Mom comes here on a weekly basis. They know her order, treat her with kindness, and respect. My mom doesn't have a large social circle and the social interaction the owner and his daughter provide make my Mom's day. I just recently ordered a Too Goo too good order and my pickup with smooth and I received a ton of items. Thankful for this establishment. read more

Absolutely worst customer service I've ever encountered. We came in, and ordered a bagel to eat in. They took the order, made the smoked salmon bagel. As they were making it, they ate pieces of the smoked salmon off the cutting board! Once they finished the bagel, then wrapped it up togo, we said we wanted to eat in, they told us no, you have to leave (there was still 10 minutes left before their stayed 3:30 closing time). Absolutely horrible service! Would give zero stars if I could. read more

I had lower expectations based on previous reviews but I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and flavor of we got. They actually keep pretty well for a few days too! Friendly attentive service read more

Bad attitude. Forgot my bagel. Overall bad experience because the staff there don't value customer service at all.

We've only ever gotten Too Good to Go bags from Posh Bagel in Menlo Park but honestly we try to get them as often as possible because they're our favorite bagels in the area. I'm surprised at the reviews because the bagels are great flavors and textures and freeze and reheat well. The cafe itself isn't anything special but I'd visit anytime for a good bagel read more

This is a chain... I would say comparable to Noah's Bagels. Not my first pick but seems to show up a lot for our catered lunches. Dense doughy bagels with not much to brag about it for a crust or chew. read more

Service was confusing and the food was low quality. The chairs all have holes in the leather with cushions sticking out. It's unfortunate but I will be going somewhere else next time read more

Came here for too good to go and we also come here once in a while for breakfast. Never had a problem. Friendly people and good food. Usually busy in the morning when we're here. read more

Wow....Bagel fell into the trash and they still put it back into the toaster like nothing happened then served it to the customer with a smile. Never going back to that place again. That's some shady business. Any business the customer should expect integrity. Stay away unless you want trashed flavored bagels read more

Posh Bagel Menlo Park is an absolute staple. for years their eggwhich, pizza bagel and turkey melts are second to none bc they craft great bagels. Patient with the giant influx of middle schooler and high schoolers they host a safe place for everyone in MP to hang out and enjoy great food and a large variety of beverages. I hope Posh lasts forever. Creating real value for the whole city. read more

A simple place to grab a quick bite in the afternoon. Ample on street parking or lots behind the building. I had a sesame bagel toasted w hummus, avocado, cucumber and lettuce (create your own) and it was was superb. Seats outside as well to enjoy the weather - or the rain lately. read more

Idks why people say these bagels are mediocre. They are much better than your average supermarket bagel. You can tell they were made with love and are fresh from that day. Pretty much the pretty vessel for cream cheese Definitely consider getting the app too good to go as you can get a big bag of bagels for $6. Bagels for days. And a good variety too! read more

Went this past weekend and will not be returning ever again! I found mice droppings in a alot of places; including right next to the table I sat at. read more

Can I choose 1/2 a STAR? Spoke to two different people about Posh Bagel, we've all had the same experiences with the girls running the Menlo Park Location. So darn rude and over priced to boot. It may be a culture issue translation loss or something but a few other people and myself described turning around and walking out immediately to Pete's or the bagel place across the street. Too bad because I remember Posh being as good as Izzy's on California. So sad that a perfectly decent business can be perfectly unacceptable. I don't see how they can pay the rent either their terrible customer service. read more

A very mixed bag. Someone from my family goes to Posh Menlo Park once a week to load up on bagels, but it's not that pleasant of an experience. That's because the staff is indifferent or rude to customers. I am never greeted, with or without a smile, and I often stand at the bagel counter for a long time before anyone acknowledges me. Not just one trip, but on multiple occasions. And then today, I ordered a Baker's Dozen, the same thing I ordered a week ago at Posh. They then told me, rudely, that they were no longer doing BD. Fine, but can you say it in a friendly way? It's either a terrible culture for staff and that's why they are poor at customer service, or else they have never been trained on this all-important aspect of running a business. On the plus side, the bagels are high quality. read more

Been here a couple of times and is a decent bagel in the area. It's no Boichik to be honest and I wouldn't drive out of my way for it but it gets the job done. I got the egg and cheese this time on everything bagel but last time got cream cheese on everything bagel. Bagels are slightly more dense than fluffy but the portion of everything seasoning on it was reasonable. Will likely be back at some point but am not in a rush by any means. read more

Best bagels in North America, not sure why their score is so low as the family that runs the place is so nice. I've been going since 2002 and have never enjoyed another bagel more than Posh read more

The Posh Bagel has a great variety of bagels and sandwiches made quickly with friendly staff and my brothers enjoy coming by when they visit- I'd recommend for a reliable, delicious breakfast on the go. read more

The mushroom melt I had today was amazing!!! Best one I've ever had. The gentleman who made it was very nice. It looks like a wonderful family business and they're likely fighting to survive. My son and his friends also love getting bagels here after school. read more

After visiting 3 different bagel shops in the area I went to Posh Bagel. I would put this one in the top 3. Definitely had a good selection of bagel flavors to choose from. Just the right amount of chewy inside. Only got bagels to bring home so I can't say anything about the other food. I would buy bagels from here again. Less expensive than a 3 dollar bagel at other places and just as tasty. read more

Bagels - A Love Story Girl meets boy freshman year in the dorms. Sparks fly, but alas the boy has a girlfriend. Sigh. The girl decides that he is still fun to hang out with, so they become great friends. No benefits. The boy teases the girl about many things that year as they get to know one another, but he can't get over some of her odd culinary quirks. Everyday foods that everyone else has tried, but her. That year he introduces her to her first bagel. Love at first bite. Fast forward one year. The girlfriend is no longer in the picture (totally not the girl's fault). Mutual friends plot to arrange a secret blind date after telling the boy and girl repeatedly, "so why aren't you two dating?" Fast forward three years. The boy and girl are newlyweds living in Menlo Park, a couple blocks from Posh Bagel, in the cutest little apartment known to man. It was some of the happiest times of their lives. One of their regular treats was walking to Pete's Coffee and Posh Bagel on lazy weekend mornings. Making mini pizzas at home with their sourdough bagels was divine. Fast forward one year. The tough decision is made to leave the Bay Area (housing prices scared them even then) and move to Oregon. That first year as they found their bearings, they miss friends, family, and yes, those tasty little bagels. Years roll by and every time they return to the Bay Area, a visit to Posh Bagel is in order. The girl usually returns to this particular location for sentimental reasons. This time she picks up sourdough (of course) and some cute little mini chocolate chip bagels for the kids. She returns to the house and proudly holds up the paper bag full of goodness. But, it is time for date night, joined by a childhood friend, while the kids stay behind with their grandmother. Dinner is fantastic. It is so much fun to spend time with a friend who has known you since grade school. All of the conversations are in shorthand. Even for the spouse since you've all laughed about some of the same stories together for years. And even though their lives have gone in different directions, there is still so much in common. The boy and girl return to the house and hear that the kids were overly concerned since it was getting late, "Are we orphans now?" But, the kids smile and say they had bagels for dinner. Yes, they ate every last one. They didn't save any for poor mom and dad. And it makes the girl laugh, because she realizes, it isn't really about the bagels anymore. And maybe it never was. read more

I'm surprised by some of the mediocre reviews of The Posh Bagel in Downtown Menlo Park. I went here several times with my mother whenever she visited me, and we always had a really pleasant experience. For starters, the Breakfast Sandwiches were so tasty. The bagels were good, and the staff was friendly and pleasant. They had no problem refilling my coffee, and they made it easy to order and pay without any delay. Pricing is not cheap considering the size of the bagel sandwiches, but they are delicious! read more

The bagel sandwiches are so good! I usually get sausage egg and cheese or bacon. The lunch sandwiches look really good too! Fresh veggies and sprouts. The blueberry muffin is very good. I like the large drink selection and the fresh cut fruit. Quick service even if you don't call ahead. Chill vibes. This is our go-to bagel spot now! read more

Posh Bagel has single handedly gotten my family through Covid. We've also picked up food a few times and everytime we've gone in, the staff are so quick and friendly. I love supporting small businesses. We order the same things, ham bagel sandwich, egg bagel sandwich and plain bagels and they're always quite tasty. Highly recommend. read more

I think the only reason I keep coming here is because of the boba. Otherwise, Noah's Bagels has better quality food & has friendly staff. It's too bad. If staff was friendlier they would have my patronage but I've decided to give up the boba and go Noah's. read more

Beware that your door dash order will not arrive as pictured in the app. I'm aware there are shortages with now but then descriptions should be adjusted to say so. Ordered a turkey, cheese and avo bagel with a bunch of produce that was listed as included and literally didn't receive any of it. No cucumbers, no sprouts, no tomatoes. So disappointed read more

I usually always go to Bagel Street Cafe across the street because they are a thousand times nicer, but there was no parking today so I went to posh... in the past posh staff has always been rude but today the lady raised her voice almost yelling at me to pick a cream cheese. Totally threw me off guard and I don't know why she was so irritated. Won't be coming back! If you're reading this and you're looking for good bagels downtown Menlo Park, go to Bagel Street Cafe! They are soooo nice and friendly. read more
