For an excellent bagel experience, this is the spot. Despite the wait, the small venue offers ample outdoor seating. Limited parking, but street parking nearby is fine. The extensive menu provides plenty of choices, and the food is fantastic. I tried the Jalapeño bagel with cream cheese – delicious! It was a substantial bagel with a generous spread of fresh vegetables. I can't recall the name of the drink I ordered, but it was enjoyable, though slightly sweet. The service is impressively fast, with efficient staff. The interior could use a bit of renovation, especially the somewhat messy and old floors. I plan to return, especially when doing laundry across the street. I'll recommend it to friends and coworkers.

Great place for students (like me) to get something to eat. Food’s almost always ready in an instant and it tastes great. My favorite is a sandwich with a pesto/jalapeño bagel.
The people working there are awesome too. They helped me find my lost wallet and refused to accept a tip I wanted to give them when I went back a few days later, so I just ended up ordering a little more than I usually did. Coming back for sure!

Best bagel shop I have ever been to.
I get a sausage bacon egg and cheese on a jalapeno cheese bagel! And a iced chai. This place is highly recommended. You will be hooked. Update : it's still just as bomb as ever go try it and enjoy

Always long lines but it’s moving. Great selection of bagels. I love their pesto cheese bagel 🥯 with tomato basil 🌿 cream cheese. Love how crunchy from outside and still soft from inside. Not too chewy and not too soft.So far I have found this place is to be the best for bagels in San Jose. Great and fast service. I visit this place once a month and it doesn’t disappoint. They have some chairs and tables outside but no seating indoor. Limited parking but should be easy to find space on the street.

When you first come to this place, you might get dissuaded by the line, but it goes so fast! They’re a small shop but very efficient. Food is also very good. I’m from NJ, I know a good bagel when I have one and this place is pretty good. They have all different kinds with all different toppings and fillings. They also have non bagel breads like a pesto pizza. Delish! Try their iced mocha latte too! Very delicious and good amount of espresso 😉.

Great bagel place. They are quite popular and you will see a line forming up outside but it moves at a decent pace. They’ve got a good collection of quality bagels along with really nice cream cheese options. We tried their jalapeño cheese bagel 🥯 with tomato basil cream cheese and that combination was just amazing, loved the flavor of tomato basil cream cheese. The pesto cheese bagel 🥯 was really good, tried it with egg n cheese. Last, the double Dutch mocha was worth a try, goes really well with bagel. I’d definitely recommend this place, try to go early if you can as they run out of bagels quickly.

I’m an SJSU student and I’ve heard good things about this place! My friends and I were hungover so we went over at around 11 AM, and there was a huge line! However, it was moving very quickly, and when I ordered my food and iced coffee, it was ready almost immediately! Great service and great atmosphere. Definitely coming back for another egg, sausage, and cheese on a pesto bagel 🏃🏻♀️

Good place for bagels and coffee, tho there is a huge line always outside with a wait time of 10-15 mins that’s a bit too much. Coffee wasnt as hot as it should be and they gave french vanilla that made the coffee really sweet instead of regular cream that was asked. Taking one star off for wait time and wrong cream.

First time here. Legit bagels. Cappuccino was also superb. Big line, but went quickly. Not overpriced.

Quick in and out for 2 bagel sandwiches and a coffee. Nothing too spectacular but they were enjoyable. As you can tell the bagels are pretty thicccc. We went pretty early in the morning at like 8am and it was getting busy so idk if I'd wait in a long line for it

Best bagels in the area. They put a generous amount of cream cheese. Their service is also super fast even though there is sometimes a long line during peak times.

House of bagels, you are needed in Yuma Arizona please 🤤😋 I'm glad my sister stopped the vehicle to enjoy our favorite Greek goddess cream cheese on my favorite fresh cheese bagel. The best pit stop before driving to Arizona.

Been here a couple times and always a very tasty experiences. Depending on the time that you go, there are long lines. I have been pretty lucky and beat the lines. Definitely worth waiting a couple of minutes. My favorite thing to get is the sausage, egg, cheese and pesto croissant. I like this place even more because they have adding pesto as an option. Definitely will be coming back when I get the chance.

Great bagels, but there's usually a long line full of SJSU students. Line moves pretty fast considering there's only 2 workers there.

I've been going here for years so I'm not sure why it never occurred to me to write a review. This place is simply the best bagel shop I've ever been to. They have a wide variety of bagel types (plain, jalapeño cheese, cheese, pesto, whole wheat, and many others) as well as bagel dogs and a huge selection of cream cheese choices. They also have a bunch of drink options including coffee (lattes, mochas, etc.). Sometimes there's a line, but it always moves pretty quick. At the busiest time, I've never waited more than ten minutes.
On a separate note, the lady behind the counter is the best. Everyone is pretty friendly while staying efficient and great at their jobs. You simply won't find a better bagel place in the bay.
NOTE: there are other house of bagels locations and while they do have bagels, they don't hold a candle to this place.

This place is always packin’! I’m glad to have passed by on a Friday afternoon with only a few people in line because it’s double the length on weekends. I grabbed the opportunity to get a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese. Nothing special, tastes the same as from any other bagel shop but boy, they serve fast!
