Bagel Street Cafe — Restaurant in California

Bagel Street Cafe is a local legend.

About: From their website, “Bagel Street Café was established in the Bay Area as a family business in 1990s. The first Bagel Street Café opened in 1996 in Alamo, California. Along with the Alamo location eventually came 21 other retail locations and a Production Plant/Warehouse in Fremont that have made their place around the Bay Area.”

Description: This place is simple, delicious, and friendly. It’s been around for a while because they do things the right way! The staff is very friendly, inviting, and accommodating.

Menu: I usually go for the salmon lox bagel, and get it toasted. There are many options from breakfast to lunch. Egg, turkey and, ham sandwiches are great.

Seating: Plenty of indoor and outdoor...

This place is under new ownership and newly remodeled, it's miles apart from the dump it used to be. The food taste much better and you can really tell the new owner care about the quality and services they're providing.

Not just Bagels, this place also has a full kitchen. I don't eat a lot of carbs but the Lox Benedict is simply to die for and the burgers (I usually go with the "animal style" option) and Omelettes are great options, if you're on the low carb / high protein diet.

If you've been turned off by the way it used to be, I highly recommend giving this place...

Do yourself a favor and go to Bagel Street Cafe in Danville, 2 miles away, for a five star experience.

Here’s what you will get in Alamo:

Unhappy employees.

Rude, inappropriate manager/owner who is not open to suggestions or constructive feedback.

They run out of many flavors of bagels no matter what time you come; standing in a long line hoping that the one banana nut, sunflower seed, or puppy seed bagel is available is a DAILY experience at 8am.

While I’m generally a fan of Bagel Street Cafe chain, this one is exceptionally terrible and negative...
