Crowded enough to make u feel good about your decision but still speedy on a pleasant Saturday morning. Bagels are dense in a... good way on their own, although as a sandwich the innards spilled out because of the bagel density. Decent people watch could?veused more freaks Read more
Sssshh. Let us keep quiet about this place. A gem not so hidden by Telegraph and McArthur, at the very edge or center of... Oakland?s gentrification. Beautiful Victorians, new 10+ floor condos, empty locked parking lots, chained fences, hardwarestore, ? It ain?t no SF Marina here. yet. GenX, GenY, techies, kiddies, French poodles, inked bodies, electric bikes,Patagonia jackets, hoodies, homeless strollers, are abound. Bagels! Kettle boiled. Solid. Chewy and soft. Coffee is bomb!And Wise Sons babka!!! Bagel and cream cheese orders come in perfectly toasted halves. without having to explain and ask. Be apal. Offer to get the coffee and bagel for the less fortunate in the community, make new friends. Enjoy and be thankful. Read more
Perfect crunch to the bagel, with the right kind of chew. Though a little light on the salt for my taste, the freshly topped... bagels make a great start to the day ? minus the breakfast coma. Filter coffee could be hotter. Read more

First time there today December 5, 2021? I?ve driven by many times, Always see a crowd. so I figured I?d give it a shot today... since I was hungry? I got everything bagel, salmon schmear with pickled onions and capers. It was delicious! And the jelly donutwas to die for!!! Read more
Bagels were decent, however could have more spread for the price that I paid for. $4.50 for everything bagel & salmon cream... cheese, look at how thin the spread. It was a to-go order, can?t comment much on the bagel texture & fried chicken (Not in thepic, but glad that the chicken breast was still moist). Overall, satisfying weekday lunch. Read more
Beauty's was a nice stop for a quick bite at an affordable price. I kept it simple, because I really wanted to focus on the... quality of the bagel, so i just got an everything toasted with the vegan cream cheese. To start, I appreciate a dairy-free creamcheese, especially their brand choice: Spero, a sunflower seed-based spread perfect for those with aversions to nuts or soy. Ilove the tangy zing of this cream cheese, but for vegans who may have other preferences, smashed avocado is another goodchoice. The bagel itself is where this rating loses a star. It was a fine enough, but I don't think a New Yorker would stand bythis bagel. For some reason, most of the topping was on the bottom of the bagel, and although it was warm, it was not as toastyas many would prefer when asking for a toasted bagel. The inside was more dense than fluffy, but the real miss was the exterior,which one would expect to have a more crust-like texture encapsulating the fluffy inside. There was no give when bitten into. Ithad a good flavor and was a cheap snack, so I can't complain too much, but it did taste a bit store-bought to me. One of thehighlights of the visit, however, was their fresh squeezed lemonade (I double checked to make sure it was actually freshsqueezed and not some concentrate out of a bottle) and I was totally blown away by the flavor. Some might say it was leaning onthe side of "too tart" which is absolutely perfect for me. All in all, a quick, warm, tasty bite before running errands, but youprobably won't catch me waiting in the bagel line that supposedly wraps around the front of the building during peak times.
