"The city’s Pacific Heights location of Berkeley-based Boichik Bagels is serving the same phenomenal, golden brown bagels as the original. The bagel-covered storefront on Fillmore specializes in extra fluffy New York-style bagels, and is takeout-only—so prepare to take your paper-wrapped package home, or plop down on a bench and eat them on the sidewalk. The classic lox sandwich is a well-stuffed home run, but we like to keep things simple here with an untoasted everything bagel and chive cream cheese. " - julia chen 1
