Boichik Bagels

"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

"East Bay bagel power player Boichik Bagels made the big jump across the bridge to open this first outpost in San Francisco earlier this year. It’s not a large shop and on weekend mornings, you might find a line spilling out onto the sidewalk. The good news is the line moves quickly and the bagels and schmear are just as good as you’ve heard. Bonus point for having ample street parking if you time your visit right." - Lauren Saria

"The first of Boichik Bagel’s first San Francisco outposts opened in late March on a quiet street in the Laurel Heights. The good news is there’s a good amount of parking; the bad news is that there will likely be a line out the door as soon as they open. Nevertheless, stopping by to snag a egg everything bagel with horseradish scallion cheddar schmear is a wise way to start the day." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria

"Berkeley-based Boichik Bagels is expanding across the Bay faster than a GoCar hurtling down Pine. And the city’s lucky first location joins the pilates studios and boutique rug stores of Presidio Heights. It’s takeout-only, so take your paper-wrapped New York-style bagels home, or eat them at the Presidio surrounded by eucalyptus trees. 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

"After long last, San Franciscans will get their own outpost of fast-growing Berkeley-based Boichik Bagels." - Lauren Saria
