River City Deli & Bagels

I got a breakfast sandwich and it was pretty good, I enjoyed it and found it delicious. The prices aren’t bad. I also decided to grab a croissant to see what the hype is (since that’s one of their most popular items) at first, it looked like a normal good croissant to me. However upon trying it, it tasted like a cloud, light and perfect. It was absolutely delicious. The owner was super kind and they make everything in house fresh. Absolutely amazing customer service, atmosphere and the customers all are friendly and seem to have built a community with this place which is amazing. I would absolutely recommend this place for a breakfast sandwich or a bagel or something along those lines. Good food, kind owner, nice atmosphere, I enjoyed it

4/5 stars Food: I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito with no tomatoes. It was about the size of my hand and they were pretty generous with the filling. I was very satisfied with the taste and consistency. Pretty classic stuff, and they did not go wrong! Service: the service was great. I was greeted warmly by a man and a woman who took my order promptly. They had smiles and made me feel very welcome. It also came out pretty quickly. Thank you! Atmosphere: it’s a pretty tight spot. They have a sign that says only 3 to 4 people inside at a time, but I noticed there was a patio outside if you would like to enjoy that. Be careful with the door. It’s pretty heavy and bumped me on the way in and out haha. I will be back! Thank you, River city deli & bagels!

I just need some good cheap coffee and a sandwich. Maybe a croissant? A BLT perhaps? I got 10 bucks, make it happen. They made it happen so I'll be back. Sometimes you just need something cheap and good. It's gotta strike that balance. This place does that for me. It's easy, kind, local, and fresh. Nuff said

Great food. Delicious breakfast burritos, sandwiches and drinks. Henry and his wife are super nice. Great place to grab lunch. Highly recommended!

Lovely deli! I got the veggie sandwich and almond danish and both were so good! 😊 My friend got a sandwich and chai tea latte! We were both in heaven. Can’t wait to come back! Really kind, friendly and fast service!

River City Bagels is legit! Henry, the owner, is super nice and makes you feel welcome right away. I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had. everything tasted fresh, and the bagel itself was perfect. You can tell they care about the quality here. After eating here, I will never go to Noah’s Bagels again! Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

The bfast croissant was giving me, baked bao glisten, and I loved every part of it! Yay for crispy bacon and American cheese! Called as I was turning on Broadway & It was ready in five minutes! The sweet couple who own this business definitely [deserve our dollars] more than fast food conglomerates! Check them out!! great fresh yummy flavored bagels, salads and soups!

Great small business to support. They have been around forever and the quality is always amazing! The Thai Chicken salad is one of our favorites! Really everything they serve is fresh and made in house. Try the house dressing you will thank me!

Forget Noah's Bagels, this is the spot to visit! The owners are the sweetest people ever and the warmth of their shop is unmatched. The atmosphere is so cozy and you can tell they put their heart and soul into their space and products. My favorite part is seeing their daughter's artwork scattered around the shop. It is really small inside but they do have an outdoor patio with seating if you want to wait or enjoy your food there. Their bagels are so good and their prices are unbeatable for the quality you get. I got the jalapeño bagel with smoked salmon spread (yes you read that right and yes it is as delicious as it sounds) and it was the most decadent thing. I almost inhaled it before I could snap a photo. Their closed-face lox sandwich on a sourdough bagel was amazing as well. I love the addition of the cucumber and tomato, it was very refreshing. This will single-handedly replace your habit of going to Noah's. Can't wait to explore more of their menu!

First, I want to say that the owners are so nice and welcoming. They seem to get a lot of regulars as they knew their orders without them saying anything. I got two items. Their breakfast burrito with turkey is a must, it is big enough that it's filling, and very flavorful. You don't need sauces, but they have tapatio which is a great complement to the burrito. The burrito was $6.95, and I recommend adding cheese. The star of the show for me was the jalapeño breakfast bagel with bacon, tomato, and pickles. I didn't expect it to be so big and flavorful. This tasted amazing with tapatio, and it was only $6.50. This place has great food for a very affordable price, and I will definitely be back!

Small locally ran business. Great Bagels killer breakfast bagels and croissants along with good salads and a great turkey pesto sandwich as well

Small but mighty! That's the simplest way to describe it. Conveniently located off of Broadway the Small bagel shop has many different options. The owners are very nice and explain their items very well. I first came here a few years ago when my friend introduced it and I'm not sure why I never came back. It wasn't until recently this year. I came by now I'm hooked. My favorite thing to get is the breakfast sandwich on the jalapeño bagel. With a pack of their chili sauce it is amazing. If bagels aren't for you, don't worry they have plenty of other items. Some of the items include sandwiches, wraps, burritos, rice, and soups to name a few. They also have a lot of different coffee variations. Their coffee prices are much more reasonable than over half the places in downtown. They do have an outside patio as well.

Not a big selection of bagels but it could be because it's a holiday and it was 10:45am when I went in. The Beagles I did get are delish. Place is small but clean and the lady helping me was very nice. I saw sandwiches and salads on the menu and they all sounded good .

I was looking for something to eat for lunch. I found this place through yelp. When I came into the restaurant I was greeted by staff. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I ordered a chicken breast sandwich on a bagel. I also ordered fruit. The sandwich was so good and very filling. The taste was phenomenal and the fruit was refreshing. The ambiance is customer friendly and the restaurant has a small deli vibe. The menu has some great breakfast and lunch options. This is a great place to go for a quick lunch or breakfast.

Great spot, open early. Tiny stop so don't expect to eat there. I stopped by on a rainy morning for a quick bagel sandwich. Suuper affordable. Ordered a bacon egg breakfast sandwich on sesame. Pretty tasty. The coffee was what it was, quick stop coffee. The service helpful and patient. I would stop by again if I was in the area.

The staff was very sweet but moved a bit quickly through the customers. I felt a bit rushed when it came to ordering and getting my order fulfilled. I would have appreciated the focus on one customer before moving onto the next. Other than that really great service!

River city bagels is a wonderful place if you are looking for bagels in near downtown/curtis park area. It's a small shop with side street parking up front and some outdoor seating. Bagels are delicious and fresh, there are so many flavors. I like the cheese and jalapeño bagels which tend to sell out. The cream cheese variety is great too. I honey walnut is amazing and packed with walnuts. The lox sandwich is tasty as well and you can have it on bagel flavor of your choice.

You know that feeling when you bite into a bagel and question every life choice that didn't lead you here sooner? That's River City Bagel Café. These bagels? They slap. Crunchy outside, soft inside--like the perfect friend who gives great hugs but also roasts you in group chats. I got the breakfast bagel with sausage on a poppyseed and, I swear, heard a choir of carbs singing in harmony. The vibe inside is divy local family . Staff is super friendly and lightning fast--like, how did they make my sandwich so quick? Witchcraft? Possibly. Delicious? Absolutely. Bonus: the coffee won't make your soul cry. It's strong, smooth, and pairs dangerously well with cinnamon raisin anything. Go here. Eat bagels. Be happy.

Absolutely amazing bagels! these are fresh baked daily! they have breakfast bagels that are piled with fresh veggies! the service is great. the only downside is its small inside so you may have to wait outside! there is a courtyard to sit! best to call and order for pick up which is what the owners recommend!

Husband wanted to try this spot so brought the sourdough bagel home and a garlic cream cheese spread--- mind blown! SO GOOD! The bagels were PERFECT! Soft but a wonderful chewy texture, the flavor was on point. Can't wait to go back and try more varieties!

Best bagel breakfast sandwich in Sac! Highly recommend getting the sandwich on a jalapeño bagel, because it makes the sandwich less messy and adds a subtle kick to the sandwich. The owner is so nice and the service is super fast! There isn't a lot of room for parking, but you'll be in and out quickly if you take your stuff to go. They also have a cute little patio to eat on if you want to eat there, but it's outside.

Today is my 5th time going here since I discovered this Ma & Pa shop. Their breakfast bagels are so tasty, filling and hearty. The customer service is 5+++! I will be back!

My favorite place to eat lunch the owner is very friendly, and the food is always fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming, and you can really feel the care they put into everything. It's a spot where I feel comfortable and enjoy every visit.

This place is amazing!!! Great food and they get you in and out. Highly recommend!! The wraps are delicious and big enough to save some for later.

Love a small, local, shop like this. Food is what you expect and good! They have drink options as well. The woman who works the counter is very very nice and the food comes out quick even though it usually seems like there is only a couple people on. I also enjoy how they have a board for local businesses!

Fresh made bagels before they open daily!!! This is one of my favorites the Pizza Bagel with garlic cream cheese. they make their flavored cream. Also Vietnamese coffee keeps you going all day, if you're looking for something delicious, local and fresh made unlike the others, come see Henry! Mark DMV HQ

Love this place! They have the best blt and Mediterranean chicken pesto sandwich both on sourdough bread. Henry and his wife are good people.

Parking was a bit difficult to navigate so I just parked at the gas station next door and got gas while my wife ordered. I caught up to her as she was paying and as I walked in the gentleman taking her order greeted me which was nice. The store is small and humble, like a family owned donut shop. It was late morning, so their bagel case wasn't full, but we were able to order what we came there for: a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage and added cream cheese on a Jalepeno bagel. The prices were fair and we received our order in about 5 minutes. I really enjoyed my sandwich. It wasn't overly messy, as most sandwiches with added cream cheese, at different bagel shops, become too difficult to eat. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because a Jalepeno bagel should have some heat, but I didn't get any heat, even after digging a piece of jalepeno out and eating it by itself.

River City Bagels is legit! Henry, the owner, is super nice and makes you feel welcome right away. I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and it was honestly one of the best I've had. everything tasted fresh, and the bagel itself was perfect. You can tell they care about the quality here. After eating here, I will never go to Noah's Bagels again! Very nice outdoor seating areas as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Eh, the bagels here are just okay. Kinda bland (even regarding the all-in-one flavored bagel, which I assumed to be an everything bagel equivalent) but their interior is light and dinner-roll soft when heated. Cream cheese spread is very plain Jane. 3 Stars for the food but I added a star because the gentleman at the counter was super nice. He (probably the owner?) seemed really appreciative that I stepped foot into the bagel shop. Best to go early in the morning especially on a Saturday. Slim pickings by 10 am.

Ive been meaning to come here and now im kickin myself for waiting so long... cool little mom and pop shop, fantastic bagels, even better crossaints. All their spreads r great, crossaint breakfast sandwich or chive cream cheese on the crossaint are my go to's. Strawberry spread is awesome, garlic spread is for real garlic lovers, smoked salmon spread was great, honey walnut great... thise r the ones ive tried, gonna get a tub of one of them next time im in there. Super cool couple running it, forget noahs bagels or something come in here and support a mom and pop shop where they make everything fresh

I absolutely love this place! Everyone who works around here calls and orders ahead and the food is always ready for pick up on time. I get Thai salad every time.

The bagels are adequate and a very small selection. The sandwiches built on them are good. Fox your door as it's difficult to open and a liability.

Cheap, fast, and fresh bagels. Really good and you can tell its fresh. 10/10. Literally my first review in yelp and this place made me want to put a review lol

Okay their garlic cream cheese is just so amazing. It's a little pricey ($8 for the small container) but guys let me tell you in my mouth is still watering thinking about this spread! Definitely worth the price if you love garlic and love cream cheese! Honestly the best spread I've ever had. The strawberry, chive, and plain cream cheese were all okay but would pass on getting them for their prices (flavored cream cheese are $8, plain is $5.50). I stopped by on a Saturday morning. The place doesn't have too much parking, just a couple on the side. Service was friendly and got in and out very quick. I was very surprised they served such a variety of things on their menu (since I thought they only had bagels). We got a dozen bagels but you can buy as many or little as you want since they sell per bagel. Plain bagel is $1.50 and their other bagels were $1.80. Their bagels weren't tough or hard but rather soft and fluffy and definitely worth the price since their pretty big.

Love this place. Quick. Inexpensive. Friendly. Great food. Great for breakfast & great for lunch. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed.

This tiny bagel shop off of Broadway is a hidden gem. Bagels are fresh and so good and they have a variety to choose from. I think it's family owned and they are so nice and fast. Somehow make every customer feel like a regular even if it's your first time.

We love their bagel sandwiches. Especially with lox. They have lots of bagel flavors and they are real nice people.

Food is way overpriced. It's literally Sam's club/costco bulk buys warmed up in a microwave. They barely give you enough sauce for the teriyaki chicken and when you ask for more sauce they want to charge .75 cents extra after you pay $10 for the plate. Place is kinda run down and can definitely use a deep cleaning.

On a Saturday, while out with our dogs for a walk, my husband and I stopped at River city bagels for a bagel breakfast sandwich. This is one of those just classic hole in the wall places that does a solid breakfast bagel sandwich. I ordered an everything bagel with ham, egg, and cheese and it was perfection. No nonsense, no frills. Just a solid bagel. And with so few bagel options in Sacramento, River City Bagels is much appreciated.

I don't eat bagels often anymore but my favorite is a toasted sesame bagel (love the deep flavor toasting those seeds brings out) with a little butter. I was craving one while in this area and using Yelp. It is a small place with very limited parking and no indoor seating but there is outdoor seating on the side. The owners should consider putting a sign on the door that tells folks there is seating out there because I wasn't quite sure but could hear voices on the other side. I don t mind a hole-in-the wall place and staff (assuming owmers) were super friendly.. The bagel had lots of seeds and was obviously fresh but the bagel wasn't toasted as asked. At best it was warmed up. While I appreciate trying to give speedy service, I left with my craving unsatisfied. Next time if I return, I'll be more specific. I also wish they had decaf coffee. I know it doesn't sell as much but some folks cannot drink the fully leaded. They offered a decaf espresso but thats not the same and I'm sure it would have cost more. I scanned their menu board and their prices for breakfast and lunch items seems very reasonable. I wish there were more reviews here of their other offerings. Oh and it seems the name has changed or Yelp made an error. The sign outside read River City Deli versus River City Bagels.

Yummy bagels. Friendly service. Doesn't get any better than this! Our favorite bagel place in Sacto!

I use to like coming here but recently stopped. I feel the bagels are a bit basic and could be made better. They often sell out of the ones I like the most. The staff here is nice, and parking is usally not a problem. Has a good vibe. Sometimes I'll come in and sit down while having one

good bagel must try. Small place kinda like grab n go place but fast and good service

Are jalapeno bagels are amazing you get pieces of jalapeno throughout the whole bagel. And breakfast burritos are a good value also.

The best hole in the wall breakfast. The owners are the best and there aren't many places like this one left. Go support and you won't regret it

If you're looking for a quick breakfast swing by River city bagels. They have fresh bagels and so many different types of smears! Yum! I got the jalapeño bagel with regular cream cheese. The bagels had a nice bounce to them. I also ordered the crossiant breakfast sandwich which was pretty good too. The bacon was super crispy and was perfect in the sandwich

The best little place, with the best owners. I'm here at least 2x a week. I love my bacon egg and cheese, Vietnamese coffee. Perfect every time!!!

Got a solid bacon, egg, and cheese here a couple of times now. The couple working here are quick with the service and are very friendly.

Always good , great mom and pop owned shop ! Tru the Thai chicken salad or the teriyaki chicken and rice plate , bagels are always a hit as well. Both husband and wife that work there are extremely sweet!

As an Uber driver, I need somewhere easy to access, cheap, and fast. My favorite place is this hidden gem. Hey have a variety options for breakfast and lunch! Many different drinks, if you don't like coffee, there's smoothies justices and hot teas. I do wish they offered iced tea but that's okay! My go to is the breakfast bagel with bacon and a cheese danish. Everywhere has cheap thin not so tasty bacon but not River City! They have thick yummy bacon. The bagels are fresh every morning. They also have a delicious Cesar wrap that I tried for the first time today and it's huge! I'll include a half eaten photo (sorry too good to wait) The place may be small but the couple inside are fast! I don't think I've ever doesn't more than five minutes in here. I love it and have coke every day since I found them and I will continue to do so!

Their bagels have never been that great but their breakfast burritos used to be my go-to spot for a good fresh quality ingredient breakfast burrito. They have recently changed from quality ingredients and freshly made potatoes to grocery store-bought hashbrown mix. Needless to say, the quality has gone down considerably. Not only this but they have raised their prices and are using inferior ingredients than what they used to. Unless they change their ingredients and quality, I won't be back.

Quick, inexpensive and several options. The place may not look like much from the outside, but I promise this place is gold. I usually call my to-go order ahead, but even when I don't they have my order ready in less than 10 minutes.. even on a busy day. I think I've had just about everything on the menu, but recently I've been drooling over their tuna spinach wrap. Their Thai salad is my favorite! For breakfast their croissant sandwiches are to die for! No wrong choice at this place.

Sacramento historically has very few bagel places and I was craving one, so I stopped by river city bagels. The bagels were seemingly stale and my cream cheese was a bit congealed. I don't think I'll be coming back. I really really wanted to like this place but was sadly disappointed :(

So good! Great little hidden gem. Workers are nice food was delish, will be back. Shop has a homey feel

The bagel was pretty good but a lot of egg for a small bagel, but when you get good hearty healthy portions who is complaining?? Also the Vietnamese coffee is the best I ever had & the owner was so kind and humble & made me feel like I was a regular. Will definitely be coming back for more!!

This is a small shop but its sooo good!! I ordered the small Mexican salad and a sausage croissant and it is delicious. They are really nice. Great customer service. Super friendly and fast. The line sometimes goes out the door but you will be out in no time. Don't let the long line make you not go in there. When you order your food you wait outside in a small patio where they have tables and chairs! I recommend this spot!
