"House Of Bagels has been holding down the bagel scene in SF since popping up on Geary in 1962—and on top of all of the classic Jewish deli staples like rugelach, hamentaschen, and bialies, they also serve solid black and white cookies. They’re just cakey enough with golden crisp edges and icing that’s evenly spread and not too sweet. It’s no William Greenberg Desserts, but it gets the job done." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
