Great local bagel house. You can find a great variety of bagels and ingredients for a reasonable price. It is quite a ritual around San Carlos, people stop by in the morning to get their bagel. Service is quick, but you might find a little queue at the entrance, it should not take you longer than 10/15min max I would say. Worth it to try!

UPDATE:So good we came back for more. Ordered the White Fish Bagel with everything and the Salmon, both were excellent but the White Fish won! San Carlos is lucky to have this place.I was skeptical but they make great bagels! Good variety. Paid $2.50 for an everything bagel toasted with butter. Owners are friendly. Noticed bags of day old bagels for sale. Went next door for coffee and ate the bagel. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bagels had toppings on both sides. Soft and chewy with a good tooth. Went back to buy a bag of the day old for $4.50, a very good value and well appreciated by everyone at home.

The bagels are good but you have make sure your order is clearly heard and understood by them at the register and by the person prepping the bagels. All in all love their bagels and cream cheese.

Such an amazing place! I recommend 100%. Great vegetarian options. The veggie bagel sandwich was to die for! Looks like its family owned. Has outdoor seating.

Best bagel Ive had in the area

Has been my go to for years. Sad end to an era as the owners retired yesterday!

Some of the best bagels in the Peninsula! There is always a line outside.

Small place but a nice variety of bagels. The varieties of cream cheese are also a great feature. Very nice neighborhood feel as well. I liked the jalapeño cream cheese very much.

Great little shop, staff is friendly, service is super quick, the bagels are good.

Easily one of the best bagel places Ive been to. Bagels are super soft, they have tons of variety and prices are reasonable. I tried the jalapeno bagel with egg and cheese along with a chocolate chip bagel with date and walnut creme and finished it off within 5 mins. Yummy!!!

Great vibes with incredible, friendly staff. An important bakery for the community, providing employment for people at risk or with disabilities. Lovely coffee and baked goods. Will definitely be making this my regular.

Lovely small business! Mt favorite is the tuna salad on an all-in-one (everything) bagel. Not too mayo-y and very flavorful.

Usually super organized and amazing! Food was great but they forgot certain components in our order- thankfully we checked before we left but usually not so forgetful. The man taking our order didnt really listen through all of it.

Amazing taste and great value for money!!

Great bagels, family owned and knows their customers by name. What else can you ask for?

Family owned! Love this place! Been going here since I was in high school. So excited to try their new store in Colma, CA!

Best bagels in Bay Area

They offer a fantastic range of delicious food. I loved dining here. Staff members are always very nice, prices are reasonable and the place is always kept clean.

Delicious!

Great bagel spot lots of options. Family run place that actually cares about your bagel. Breakfast sandwich on a bagel options all our delicious and very fast.

Excellent bagels and friendly owners is about all that this place has going for it, but thats all I need from a bagel joint.

Pretty good bagels made the right way. They have a wide selection of spreads and also good breakfast sandwiches. The prices are a bit high, but you get what you pay for. Make sure to come early in the day before they run out of the good ones. The place itself is a little cramped but they have a few indoor and outdoor tables if you want to eat there

Quick service. Been here for many years and I love their bagels. Any choice of breakfast bagel is guarantee to satisfy.

REAL bagels. A rarity outside of New York /northeast coast. Having grown up there and living in NYC for years, I feel confident in saying these are some of the best youll find out here. They are in the same style and taste great.

Recently came here and order 60+ bagels. Though it was a lot, they handled it really well. Not to mention their bagels are the best it won, freshly made in the bag every morning. If you’ve never been, definite stop by and get a bagel or two.

Best bagel Ive had on the peninsula, and Im a former New Yorker

Great fresh bagels! Got 10 this morning of a variety, and they were all great. If Im ever in the area again Ill make sure to stop by!

Even when the line is out the door, the service is great! They work fast and efficiently. The bagel are warm, they have a variety of flavors, and they have multiple smear flavors too. I usually order a few customized orders and they never get it wrong. The only place I go to get bagels!

Best bagel Ive had in the bay area. Ny style. Nice and chewy

Best bagels around. Pumpernickel included!

This family owned place is so good. They have so many good toppings, spreads and bagels. Their prices are very reasonable

This place has good bagels there made fresh daily and the owners are really nice people they have good customer service and Ive never once had bad service or have anything negative to say about this place they have New York style bagels and that what I prefer

Got a salmon lox bagel sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back for more :)

The bagels were great, both soft and flavorful.

Best bagel place in mid peninsula region if not all of South Bay. Great friendly owners. Try a just off the oven warm super fresh bagel with butter. Simply divine. Have been going here for over 3 years now.

Love coming here. Consistently good bagels

Snap quick great selection and always made to order...my go to bagel shop!

Family run bagel shop. Fresh bagles made in the back.

Get there early so you have a full selection of bagels. Great bagels and sandwiches. Great prices.

I love their Bagels so much better than the chains. I miss H&H but this is a good substitute. Family owned long time San Carlos business.

Family owned, a little quirky, extremely quick service and great food!

Great little place, owners are very kind and social. Highly Recommend.

What a great Bagel Shop. Fast, Fresh, and courteous are the 3 words I would use to describe. My only critiques would be I dont like the menu layout, and interior of shop could use an update. I will keep going back here no question.

Great family run bagels with tasty cream cheese

Great bagels are worth waiting in line for. These bagels are terrific. This is a San Carlos family spot. Lots of families here on the weekends.

Great fresh bagels, a wonderful start to the day!

Amazing place. Really good and cheap bagels, that always have a lot of really good cream cheese. Definetly go here if you are near by.

As a recovering Noo Yawka, HoB is as close to home as Ive found. (Honestly, its better than most NYC bagels these days.)

Great bagel shop and a San Carlos institution. Quick, friendly and bagels are usually warm, always fresh. Thank you House of Bagels!

Food always amazing. Owners getting better at being nice and I saw a hint of a smile one time.

Surprise find! Super solid. Cant go wrong with whitefish.

Best bagels in the Bay Area. Joanne, Kenny, mom and pop makes this our favorite place for bagels. They are done the right way, and the reason why you stand in line behind 15 people on a Sunday morning!

Always excellent. I dream about their chicken salad on an everything bagel.

Super friendly people...best bagel house in the bay...

Good food, fast during breakfast or lunch. Good for on the go, not much seating. Friendly staff.

Great bagels. Nice people!

Ordered a Mediterranean bagel. It was delicious!

One of the best bagel shops in the bay area. They boil their bagels instead of steaming so you get much better microblistering (thats there are boils on the bagel and it gets nice and crunchy). Only gripe is that I dont particularly like their coffee selection and the bagels with cream cheese are less than stellar. Highlight is a bagel with cheese, egg and avacado. Delicious.

Best bagels on the peninsula I believe.

Yum

Liked the bagels but coffee was just warm. I will try it again.

Bagels are good. Small spot. Just a grab and go place.

Fresh. Great selection. Tasty too!

Awesome bagels served quick and delicious.

Went once...Now its daily! Even on the weekends! Even when Im running late! Its the first and only place Ive ever had a usual . Thanks for the YUMMIES!

The bagels here are almost as good as the Sunnyvale House of Bagels! As an east coast native, I smile when I bite into one of these bagels. Yum!

Love their bagels! the best!

Fast service and Popeye bagel with alot of cream cheese spread is always a good mix.

Great fresh baked bagels and other goodies, and sandwiches made from them

Kenny and Family make the best new york style bagels, family owned, great for breakfast or lunch

Best bagels on the peninsula, maybe even the wife West cost!

Fairly good. Liked the bagels, not so much the cheese

I love house of bagels.

Great traditional bagels - chewy, smooth exterior, not just bread shaped in a circle. Great service too.

Very good breakfast sandwiches!

Nice place, nice people. Great bagels!

Easy to get in an out. Great service.

The best bagels we have found in the Peninsula (except for the Geary St SF outlet with another owner but same recipe). They do close early, i.e., 2:30 pm.

Amazing bagels amazing prices they get 5 stars

Delicious bagels!

The best bagels around. Boiled then baked I believe. The way bagels are supposed to be made.

The best place to start your day

Best bagels and great community gathering spot

Good bagels, sometimes the line can get long

My familys Saturday tradition for years. Fantastic bagels and friendly service.

Excellent bagel breakfast sandwiches!

Most amazing bagels this side of the Mississippi

Nothing beats having your bagels touched by the same ungloved hands that hand back your change.
