Beauty's Bagel Shop

"Though both of its locations are currently closed, the Oakland bagel shop will be baking matzo this year and selling it by the pound — $16 for an order that will feed four to six people. The Telegraph Avenue shop is also a pickup location for Wise Sons Passover orders, but only if you select a pickup date of April 8, between noon and 3 p.m." - Luke Tsai

"Beauty’s offers kettle-boiled bagels available for pickup and delivery." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Philosophically, bagel purists may find the notion of a fried chicken bagel sandwich odd or even offensive, but Beauty’s hasn’t ever been much for following the bagel rules — just serving fresh, often still-warm bagels in as many delicious permutations as possible. Served with a beet slaw, the fried chicken here is crisp and juicy without being greasy, and the best thing about serving it on a bagel is that it makes fried chicken for breakfast a viable, deeply craveable option." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett, Luke Tsai

"Beauty's was a neighborhood favorite for Montreal-style bagels, before Wise Sons purchased the shop in 2020, to form a new bagel-and-pastrami superteam. They kept the sign and name, and although the bagels have definitely changed, they’re still kettle boiled and made with locally milled flour. And the upshot is that the menu got meatier, with pastrami reubens, smoked trout salad, and matzo ball soup." - Eater Staff

"The wood-fired bagel shop is doing pickup orders of bagels and a limited selection of spreads and toppings at its Temescal location on Saturdays only, with online orders due by 3 p.m. on the previous Wednesday. They’re reserving the 9–9:30 pickup time slot for seniors and other vulnerable individuals." - Luke Tsai
