Boichik Bagels Factory
1225 Sixth St, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“This Berkeley bagel factory is a no-frills gem where the real magic happens at the counter—order a pink label bagel fresh from the ovens and pair it with their straightforward coffee for a quick, satisfying breakfast that rivals the East Coast originals. The tiny lobby seating and factory-adjacent location mean you're essentially grabbing from the source, perfect for those who want authenticity over ambiance, and families appreciate the casual, unpretentious vibe where the bagels themselves are the main event.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great stop for some of the best bagels in the Bay Area! They have the classics and some! Their coffee selection was quite minimal and very limited outdoor/indoor seating. Parking is street parking only and mid morning on a Saturday had about a 5-10min wait for the line
