    This is a good Bagel Street location. The one in Redwood Shores is better. We came around 1pm and the selection of bagels was depleted. We got our usual bagel dog and a bagel with cream cheese and tomato. It didn't taste as good as the ones at their other locations. Service was fast.

    I was really disappointed with the customer service at this location. I had to stand and wait for over 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me, and not once did I receive a simple greeting or apology for the delay. It's frustrating to feel completely ignored, especially when you're trying to get assistance. A little courtesy and respect for your customers' time would go a long way. I hope they improve their customer service approach in the future customer.

    The bagel choices were good, but they had already ran out of many types by 9:30am on Sunday. Staff was friendly and even though it was a bit busy, they were pretty efficientWe got a lox sandwich on a Parmesan bagel and a honey corn bagel with Strawberry crème cheese. The strawberry crème cheese was a bit too artificial but the bagel was good. For the lox sandwhich, the bagel was under toasted and could have done without tomatoes.

    This review is only for people from NYC. These are not bagels. They are bread with holes. Don’t get your hopes up. The veggie lite cream cheese taste like bathroom caulk. To people from the Bay Area you will not notice the difference so enjoy.
