NY-style bagels with lox, spreads, and unique specials
"After debuting in Los Feliz a few months ago, this bagel shop from the Bay Area now has another LA location in DTLA’s Bradbury building. The menu has the same New York-style bagels with various shmears, lox sandwiches, and rotating specials, but the interior here is slightly larger (and more pleasing to architecture enthusiasts)." - cathy park
"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 easy here with an untoasted everything bagel and chive cream cheese." - julia chen 1
"The quickly growing bagel mini-empire with multiple locations throughout the bay has a following for a reason—their bagels are the standard by which any piece of bread with a hole in the middle should be judged: crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. And don’t worry, their spreads (particularly their lox and chive) are just as good." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"Bagel-loving Peninsula-dwellers rejoiced when Berkeley-based Boichik Bagels expanded to Palo Alto. Their location here (in Town & Country Village) is takeout-focused, but there are a few tables outside of the shop, a.k.a. prime real estate for digging into your paper-wrapped sandwich immediately. Loose bagels are available, as are sandwiches with things like whitefish salad or lox, but we like to keep things straightforward at Boichik: everything, untoasted, with chive spread—simple perfection." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, gabi moskowitz
"Boichik isn’t technically inside the park, but it’s just a few blocks from the Presidio Wall entrance—ideal if you’ve got a kids’ birthday party at the Presidio Wall playground and need something cream cheese-filled to eat while monitoring the swings. The counter-service bagel spot does loose bagels, spreads, and sandwiches with lox or whitefish salad. When in doubt, go everything, untoasted, with scallion cream cheese." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
