House of Bagels

Stopped by House of Bagels in Richmond for a quick breakfast. Got there early, so there wasn't much of a wait, but be warned - the seating area is tiny! If you're planning on catching up with friends, this might not be the best spot. They have a good selection of bagels (everything, Asiago, blueberry, etc.). They also offer breakfast sandwiches, croissants, muffins, and some sweet pastries. You can customize your bagel or sandwich with a variety of cream cheeses, veggies, proteins, and other toppings. The service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Asiago bagel with lox, cream cheese, and capers. The bagel itself was a bit on the dense side, and the Asiago flavor was a little muted - I was hoping for a stronger cheesy punch. The lox and cream cheese were good, but overall, the price felt a bit high for what I got. Overall, House of Bagels is alright. If you're in the neighborhood and need a quick bagel fix, it'll do the trick. But with the limited seating and slightly higher prices, I'd probably try another spot next time.

I have passed by House of Bagels as I headed to my gym. Always wanted to stop in to try out their bagels. Decided to try one of their muffins. Everything was so good. I will definitely be back to try out one of their sandwiches. Thank you!

Time Has Definately Changed About 20 or so yrs ago, I got introduced to this establishment when I moved to the area, and this used to be the only go to breakfast place when we needed a good bagel breakfast super early in the morning. It used to be jam-packed, and even before they opened, I remembered an old couple parked outside in their old Buick, waiting for their favorite pastries and bagels. I got hooked to it cause it's was the only place I really enjoyed bagel because of the variety they had. Then came the mini bagel period when I would order bags for holiday spread and all that was fun..... Fast forward to this year after 5yrs of living away, I realized the place has changed a bit and after experiencing amazing customer service all around the world and how it picked up after pandemic, quality customer service is what is needed in some businesses here in San Francisco. I understand it must be hard to try to pick up after the pandemic, but it's also sad to see how a highly rated star espablishment has gone down to a 4.2 here on google. I am one who loves to promote neighborhood minority and family owned business, and in the last 2 weeks, the cream cheese cooler has been half filled, and all the good stuff from the bottom are nowhere to be found like white fish for example. Whoever is doing production or controlling stock needs to be concentrating more on what runs out quickly cause maybe it will give u more money than those strawbbie flavored ones thats all pilling up in there.. I am more a loyal customer, kinda person, and if I like something or a business, trust me, that will be my go-to place weekly. It's hard to open super early, and I am sure staff work long nights, but a welcoming attitude and willing to help and suggestive selling might also go a long way, especially early in the morning.. I hope these guys the best and not go down like most places in the city. Let's Pick Up The Star Guys 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Curious to try the Cragel (Bagel + Croissant), as someone who loves bread and loves both of these. I'll say, just stick with one or the other. It is in the middle and ends up not being particularly great, more stunt food than anything. We also tried one other pastry and overall just too dry for both.

Pretty decent bagels at House of Bagels. We love the different options. O man. Talk about options. That True New Yorker $13 was a gem. Cream cheese, salmon, capers, fresh tomato and red onions. The Morning Start $9 came with avocado, cheese and egg. It was delicious! We also got a few bagels for later. The only drawback was, later in the evening, they didn't taste as good because the bagels turned chewy and tough. All in all, it was a good experience standing on the sidewalk on Geary eating tasty bagels.

I got the avocado and egg on an asiago bagel. When I took my first bit (shown in the photo) the avocado was over ripe avocado… i was so Disappointed. :( I tried to call the store, but there was no direct line to speak to someone. So I am going to go back to the store UPDATE: I actually went back and tried to exchange the bagels, but they were so nice and instead refunded and replaced my order. They said “we take accountability for our mistakes” it made my day, thanks so much!

I have been in SF for more than 30 years and am ashamed to say I have never been to House of Bagels until today. Wow.....So unique in many ways. The various bagels, sweet breads, and sandwiches are amazing. The only seating area is a countertop but on a nice day you can sit near the Park Presidio benches. The customer service person or possibly the owner was very pleasant and oriented to my questions of the food items on display. I definitely will be returning next time I am able.

I prefer the San Jose or San Carlos house of bagels anytime..the bagels weren't that good.. they didn't toast them. Cream cheese was okay flavor .. this place had other items as well.
