Not terrible, but don't let my rating fool you to not visiting! I was walking the pup and wanted to finally try this out on Friday morning. I ordered a "classic" on an everything bagel.
First, the pros: (and they're big ticket items IMO)
- the bagel itself - sooo good! Super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The everything part of the bagel was nice - super seedy and perfectly salty.
- the cream cheese - super whipped and fluffy. Very yummy!
- service - the guy that was taking orders and giving orders up was doing his best with a smile. Very kind.
The cons:
- I know this is SF, but the pricing is a tiny bit steep for this neighborhood, but that's just my opinion. Take with a grain of salt. They're new and they're probably trying to make it. It's hard out here in these streets.
- The "classic" is supposed to come with cream cheese, lox, red onion, capers and dill. The lox was almost too fishy smelling (which could a strong yellow flag) than smokiness. Take a look at my pic - the red onion seemed more like a garnish, definitely not that much capers (under the lox), and zero dill.
- Holy moly the wait time was ... a lot. Good thing I didn't have anywhere to be, but waiting 15-20min for a bagel was a little rough. If you order, hope you're not in a rush to your next destination!
All this to say that I'll still come back, because I want to try other things on the menu - different kinds of bagel sandos, different schmeaers, and probably something sweet when I'm up for it. Seems like other reviewers love their sweets so I definitely have to try!
