Crema's Take

“This family-run bagel shop makes bagels that rival New York standards—soft, chewy, and bouncy with creative savory flavors like jalapeño cheddar—which is rare enough in the Bay Area to warrant a detour. The sandwiches are generously stuffed with quality ingredients (think fresh turkey and crunchy veggies on that perfect bagel), and the owners' genuine warmth makes the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. If you've been searching for a proper bagel breakfast spot that doesn't sacrifice on quality or character, this is it.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

YUM! First time here and I got the Turkey C.C. sandwich on a cheddar jalapeño bagel and it was so good! The sandwich was filled with yummy crunchy veggies and nice slices of turkey. The bagel texture was so good and toasted to perfection. I also got the Thai Iced Tea with lychee…

Great bagel spot! The bagels are soft, chewy, and bouncy, with lots of tasty savory flavors to choose from. The family running the shop is super friendly, which makes the visit even better. Would definitely come back.

Grew up near NYC so I'm pretty picky about bagels. This place is easily my favorite bagel place in Bay area. Bagels are incredibly fresh and flavorful and the ingredients in the sandwiches (meats, veggies, eggs) are the freshest I've had around here. Pastrami sandwich knocked it…

I've gone here multiple times to try different sandwiches and each one slaps. I love the texture of the bagels. The food comes out hot with melty cheese, and the sandwiches are stuffed full! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are friendly and patient.
