“ Ive been coming here regularly for nearly two years and its my go to bagel spot. I love their lox bagel. Not sure where they source their smoked salmon from, but its always fresh and sliced perfectly no grisly pieces. The Salt and Pepper bagel is divine. Their Spiced Oatmilk Chai is also delicious. I cant leave the place without ordering it! The folks here are very kind as well. Its popular, so plan your visit accordingly! You can also place orders online. ”

Vegan cream cheese available too!!! The chewiness and crisp is perfect and the locally sourced ingredients top it all off. Support a woman owned business, and enjoy an amazing bagel!!! ”
“ A hit every time. Wellbalanced, gorgeous, and flavourful bagel sandwiches, friendly staff, and a chill atmosphere. Bagels are dense, chewy, and a musttry. Closest to a classical NYCs EssaBagel that Ive had in the East Bay, a bit nicer and softer though. Ill be back for sure. ”
“ Delicious bagels!!! Cute little stop and lots of fun different choices of bagels and spreads. ”
“ Poppy Bagels is one of my favorite bagel spots in the Bay! I like it better than Boichik as I think Poppys bagels have a better texture not as dense. I love the Basic sandwich and the seasonal veg! They have a cute patio in the back where you can sit and eat. Dont sleep on the rugelach!!! They have apricot walnut and chocolate, and my family liked them both. I have to say the chocolate is my favorite though!! ”
“ This review is for the lox bagel. The bagel is incredibly tasty nice outer crunch and slight pillowy density inside. Its an open faced sandwich with a generous amount of chives and dill which lent so much flavor and freshness. For someone who doesnt enjoy eating thick slices of raw onions, their thinly sliced ones are subtly sweet and easier to bite on. Not too heavy on the salmon and cream cheese schmear which I like. Overall a very wellbalanced lox bagel and I cant wait to try the other sandwiches. ”
“ What a cute little spot ! Love the food here and the service! Ive tried the Heirloom, Basic, Lox and Sweet and Spicy bagel and all of them were so delicious. Love the presentation too they always look so fancy I can always see the workers in the kitchen taking their time to make them look perfect Cant forget about the Iced Chai.. so addicting. anytime im around the area its always a must to visit here. ”
