Excellent bagels - much better than Noah's ever was. Good lox, and Lily serves an ample portion. Good vegetables. All around good neighborhood eatery. Family business. They also have a place in Alameda. Service Take out Meal type Brunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
A family bagel business that’s given up on keeping up. This used to be our go to spot back in 2017… but fast forward to today and you have a store that’s unkept, consistently out of any high demand bagel that aren’t plain bagels (I.e. the types of bagels you wouldn’t find anywhere else like Egg Bagels or Chocolate Chip bagels), lack of any online ordering options or web presence with updated hours. It doesn’t seem like anything is going to change anytime soon so if I were you, I’d try to find another option if you desire any sort of consistent experience that doesn’t include “We’re out of that bagel.”
Coming from the east coast, I generally rate a bagel spot on if they have egg bagels. Not egg sandwich on a bagel, I'm talking the bagel flavor is egg - discernable from its yellow color and better flavor. This place has them, and when competing with Starter Bakery, and a crepe stall, this was our choice on a Sunday morning. Usually you'll wait in a quick moving line as the staff churns out bagels. I was thrilled to not only see a lox bagel option, but a white fish as well once again confirming the legitimacy. I ended up ordering the lox bagel, but on a future visit will definitely see if I can add white fish salad to it. The sandwich itself was great - decent amount of lox, and the bagel is perfectly chewy. I would recommend skipping the self serve coffee for another local spot, however.

I got the veggie bagel, the egg bagel (there were almost no options for bagels) tasted like it was a month old, so dry. I paid to add avocado but there was none in my sandwich. The bagel was the smallest I've ever had. The lady was very rude and unkind. Very disappointing, highly not recommended.

These are the best Bagels ever!! Lilly is so fast and friendly! Her Bagels are not only the best you'll find but very generous in size and selection as well as options. Very generous!

I bought some bagels and spreads for a group of young folks that I work with... And they loved them! Got lots of positive comments.
