Bagel Street Cafe
2212 S Shore Ctr, Alameda, CA
Crema's Take
“This Alameda bagel shop wins over even transplanted New Yorkers with bagels that nail that elusive balance of chewy interior and crispy crust, paired with generously stuffed sandwiches featuring quality meats and creative cream cheese flavors like jalapeño and garlic. The counter moves fast and the staff is genuinely kind, making it a reliable spot for a proper breakfast or quick lunch, though vegan options remain notably limited. Expect a casual, family-friendly vibe where the real star is the bagel itself—toasted, topped, and done right.”

Love... Love.... Love... This place. I always get the Lox with red onion tomato, cucumber on a toasted Jalapeno bagel with either Vegetables, or Jalapeno or Garlic cream cheese. Wow !!
I went out of my way to come here but didn't order anything because they had no options to speak of for vegans. Just bagels and peanut butter is pretty much it. No hummus, no vegan cream cheese, no nothing.
I'm a New Yorker. So my bagel standards are high. This was very very good. Excellent bagel and great Dutch crunch sandwich
Food is good but every time I go to the cashier to tell them what I ordered (which is very simple I’m only getting one thing) I get cut off mid sentence and they ask the person preparing the order what I got. This is only frustrating because I’ve started to notice that they don’t do this to other customers. I’m perfectly capable of telling the cashier what I’ve ordered. I’ve been going for a long time but have decided to stop as it’s starting to feel targeted.
Their bagels are the perfect combination of bready and crunchy. Every sandwich I’ve had is packed with meat, cheese, and toppings. The employees are fast, kind, and make delicious food. I wish I could eat here every day.
