Boichik Bagels
3170 College Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“This Berkeley bagel spot delivers genuinely East Coast-quality bagels that actually rival New York standards, earning passionate devotion from regulars who appreciate the dense, properly boiled texture. The casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it an ideal quick breakfast grab, though you'll want to budget a bit extra if you're loading up on creative toppings and their specialty drinks. Fair warning: parking can be tricky and lines move fast during peak hours, but the bagels themselves are worth the minor hassle.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
