Basket Bagel Cafe — Restaurant in San Jose

I noticed the small sign while turning into the shopping center on Foxworthy, near Angry Chiks and Vim & Vigor Gym. That morning, I was heading in for a workout and thought, “After the gym, I’m going to check this place out.” I’m so glad I did!

The food was amazing, and the coffee was freshly brewed, piping hot, and delicious. The bathroom was clean and smelled great, and the tables were spotless and nicely spaced out. The overall atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming.

I ordered the jalapeño bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese—and wow, it was mouthwateringly good! The price was very reasonable for the quality of food and service I received.

I enjoyed my first visit so much that I went back for more. If you’re looking for a genuine, authentic-tasting breakfast spot at a fair price, this is the place to go.

I hope you enjoy and share...

We’ve enjoyed the bagel sandwiches before, so we thought we’d try a dozen bagels to go with a big family brunch. We couldn’t help but compare with Noah’s. Unfortunately, the selection of bagels wasn’t as broad, the bagels were fine but not great, and the price was higher. A dozen bagels ( including 2 premium bagels) and 3 shmears totaled $36, plus tax and tip. Compared to Noah’s, it would be about $28 with two premium bagels, the two included shmears, and one extra shmear. And Noah’s makes it 13 with the bakers dozen.

We like supporting a local place, but it’s hard to justify the extra cost when the bagels aren’t quite as good. We’ll still go for a yummy bagel sandwich now and then, but may buy our dozen bagels elsewhere if they can’t keep up with price...

just opened a few days ago! if you’ve been to bagels & donut basket on branham this is basically the same place but without the donuts and with some ‘fancier’ pastries. i brought the fam yesterday and it was the perfect spot for a bagel breakfast. there’s plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. they were a little slow, probably some just-opened-growing-pains, but they were giving away free drinks/pastries to people to make up for it. there have been so many failed businesses in this location since i moved near here 5 years ago but i really hope this one sticks. it’s great to have a delicious bagel spot with a chill vibe and friendly staff/owners in the neighborhood. p.s. i got the lox bagel with a vietnamese coffee, yummm, and of course grabbed a...
