Bagel Update! Worlds best bagels!! They keep me energized when I’m surfing big waves for long periods of time but most importantly they are the most tasty…turns out the best bagels are in CA. Thank you team!!! #bagelupdate

The food is just so-so. If the price was reasonable, I would give it a higher score. I did give it 4 stars because the bagels themselves were ok and the interior was nice, but, frankly, the food was 3 or lower stars. I recommend the House of Bagels.

Popular bagel shop housed in an airy, open space with plenty of indoor and outdoor seatings. The two-story high ceiling central area where customers order and pay features a coffee bar and working stations for bagel making. Its fun to watch their staff at work!I got two bagels for breakfast. The poppy seed bagel with goat cheese (Liwa) has great texture and tastes good but feels skinny, the cheese spread was particularly thin. The ham and cheese bagel, instead of the usual sandwich style, has ham bits in warm, melted cheese inside the bagel. Despite a mediocre look (and even a little burnt on the bottom rim) it is surprisingly delicious.

I love coming here to get BEC then go climb at Dogpatch just a couple feet down the street. Always a great time here. Would recommend adding some sriracha if you like it spicy. Highly recommend this spot if you are spending the day in SF.

Bagels are fine, but lox bagel was not great. Quite overpriced, a small lox bagel for $15.

Bagels are high quality- small and dense compared to the Brooklyn ones I’m used to. Cream cheese & all sandwich ingredients are also top notch- but then you get to the prices and realize it’s a little over the top. $12-$15 for a bagel sandwich? Definitely a splurge, not your everyday bagel & coffee joint.Even a gravlax bagel should top out at $10- oh, San Francisco. Beautiful interior space reminds you where your bagel fortune is going.

Such a cute cozy place to relax in the morning! plenty of room to spread out, and the food was surprisingly incredible for something that sounds as simple as bagels. thanks joey for all your help!!

Huge place with lots of tables and space to work. Accessible tables with power outlet access on the ground floor. Great selection of traditional and unique bagels and toppings.

Bagel was good, but was smaller than your typical bagel? Had to wait a while to just place an order even though there was barely a line - seems like it could use a third person at the counter taking orders. The space is very nice though.

Excellent bagels, pass on the lox

The kind folks at Daily Driver literally saved my pants when I was having a bathroom emergency in the middle of a long run. Their bathroom was sparkling clean. I really need to return with a shirt, and buy a round of coffee for everyone 🙏

Good bagels! (I tried the classic lox)However the service is pretty slow, we were 4 (2 separate orders but all the same bagels) and we had to wait a while despite having 3 people behind the counter and no other customers.I would go back without friends next time I guess 😄

Delicious, super friendly staff!

Dropped by for the grand opening and all I can say is WOW! This place has all the makings for an SF hit. Understandably there was a 30 minute line but the owners were so friendly and appreciative by handing out free samples. Once inside I was blown away by the amazing space. There were large ovens and a massive chute where freshly hot bagels were ready to sort and serve. I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel had a nice outer crunch still warm from the wood fire and the inside was so soft and delicious. Although other reviews seemed not to like the texture of the cream cheese, I really enjoyed it and felt that there was a very grassy, fresh from the farm taste to it that was unique. Philly cream cheese no more! I also loved the partnership with Red Bay Coffee in Oakland. There is a Probat roaster on-site and the mocha that I had was top notch. There is plenty of seating in the upstairs mezzanine. I will certainly be back for more!

Really pricey, hard and dense bagels unless you get them fresh. Paid for a $6.5 butterscotch latte but later found that they were out and they substituted a vanilla latte ($4.5) instead. It would’ve been nice to know beforehand. The gravlax was dry and crumbly, same with my salmon. Underwhelming.

The term Daily Driver comes from the world of people who own multiple cars - your DD is your main go-to.This should give you some hint as to who this bagel shop is for.My East Coast-bagel-spoiled-self objects to $5 mini-bagels, but maybe thats not an issue for you.They are pretty tasty though, as long as theyre fresh from the oven.

Very Friendly staff! Savory Fresh Food.. Cant wait to come back and try the lobster roll Oneday.

I love the vibe at this place. A mix of industrial and modern coffee shop. The balcony seating is relaxing, the tile lightens the place up. The wood fired bagels are awesome! With a nice crunchy exterior and dense interior its everything youd want from a great bagel! The everythings are my favorite but you should try them all! Love this new addition to SF.

Salt bagel and cream cheese was yummy!My oatmilk latte was very tasty. The espresso shot he poured was nice and creamy, it made my latte taste delicious and I didnt need to add brown sugar. The guy who help us was really nice and actually follow directions when I asked to make my latte not so hot.I also learned they are the only ones in San Francisco that make their own butter and cheese.

Good espresso, good bagels, very open space nice for working

Bagels are great, but everything else is a lackluster experience. Service has been rude multiple times we’ve visited and the closing hours on their listing do not match their actual times (that or they just decide to close an hour early on Saturdays despite there still being people in line to order). There are other local breakfast options nearby, so I recommend them now to visitors.

Great oat milk lattes and bagels. Hot and fresh from the oven.

My fav new place to be in the city! Let me count the reasons why...1. The bagel sandwiches and bagel dogs are to die for. The Gravlax is a not-to-miss. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!2. That cultured butter. Is it bad that Ive bought 3 packages since the place opened?? I never knew butter could taste so rich with flavor and freshness!3. The vibe is cool, hip, relaxing, and the decor calls out to my Instagram trigger finger. I love meeting friends there, and their game nights are SO FUN.4. Talk about supporting local - it makes me feel good to spend money in here, where they get ingredients from their own (and other local) farms, culture their butter on site, bake their bagels in the wood fired oven as you watch, and hire local staff. Spending money in a place that lives my values. Check!

Finally a tasty bagel shop in SF! Love their BEC bageland try it with everything bagel.

Definitely a different take on cream cheese. Its tangy like goat cheese. The bagels are stellar, and its fun to watch them get baked as you wait

One of the best bagels Ive ever tried 🥯👍Warm and crunch 🤤

While the bagels were fresh, the cream cheese was more crumbly than creamy. Seemed pricey for bagels.

Tried a bagel and pretzel, both untoasted. The garlic bagel was good with a slight exterior crunch and a soft inside (on the denser side though). The salt pretzel was unremarkable and a bad deal for $4.5. Overall the bagel was fine, but not worth the wait or price.

Love their bagels. I come here way too often. But the bagels are one of the best in the Bay Area.

They DONT toast their bagels, even if you ask. Everything Bagel is good, kind of cakey, but would be better toasted. Cream Cheese has more of a sour taste to it. Kind of pricey for what you get. I might try one of their other options in the future

I ordered a sesame bagel with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and dill cream cheese and almost went back for another, it was so good. The coffee was good black, too.

Great people, amazing pop-up donut shop. Good coffee and the bagels are pretty good too.. The cream cheese is good too although $11 is a tad bit much

One of the best everything bagels Ive had on the West Coast. Solid sandwiches and coffee/espresso, one of my regular go-to spots.

Best bagels in town AND they have vegan options (sometimes vegan butter, sometimes vegan CC). Staff is super friendly.

Daily Driver was recommended to me by my friend that lives in San Francisco. We went in the morning and had no long lines to wait in. The atmosphere is energetic and colorful. Our order was taken promptly and while we waited we were asked by several other team members if we had been helped yet. Now for the food and drink: Got a salt bagel and nearly choked from the sheer amount of salt on the top. That’s probably my fault for ordering a salt bagel, but the other options were limited. I also ordered an iced chai and received a very watered down drink that only disappointed. Given that there is a bagel shop pretty much every square mile in the Bay Area, I’d be inclined to keep looking for somewhere that suits me a little better. That being said, my friend loves this place and visits frequently. Go yourself and decide how you feel.

I feel bad giving a negative review after covid, however I was deeply disappointed with these bagels after reading such positive reviews from the infatuation/ recommendations. The bagels we had were both dense and hard.

Rating is based pretty much entirely on bagel quality, which I assume would’ve been better in the morning.Got a gravlax sandwich on a garlic bagel. Great flavors, including the bagel, but the bagel was a little harder and drier than I like it. That might be because i went at 2:30 (they close at 3:00). I’ll try it again in the morning, but for the price, I expect a great bagel, morning or afternoon ($16 for gravlax sandwich, $4.50 for just a bagel w/ plain cream cheese).Cool, big, open space with lots of seating & natural light. Haven’t tried the coffee, but they have very nice espresso grinders (peak).

I stopped by at 11am on a Sunday to pick up some bagels to bring home due to all of the hype. I was disappointed that they were out of poppy seed already, so I got sesame and plain. The sesame bagels hardly had any sesame seeds on them (and were almost indistinguishable from the plain). The bagels themselves are a little bready -- no malt flavor and they verge on tough rather than chewy. I wouldnt get these bagels again. Weve been doing the rounds trying all the new bagel shops and pop-ups, and so far these are the bottom of the barrel. (Our favorite thus far have been Schloks -- fluffier, excellent malt flavor, and good chew; rather than tough like these were).As a side note, I was disappointed to see that the cashier removes his mask to yell out names while customers are standing immediately in front of him.

The butter on these bagels is unreal. The place itself is super cool, don’t be afraid of the line.

Best bagel I’ve had since leaving nyc. Best cream cheese I’ve ever had.

Absolute best experience. David and Tamara (the owners) are incredible and they really know their stuff. The rest of the staff are all wonderful as well. The butter is to die for but everything is amazing. 10/10.

Great bagels. I stop by to get breakfast every week or so. I especially love their BEC. My only complaint is that sometimes they put too much salt. Bagels are a bit on the expensive side, but the quality is definitely there.

Great flavors and bagels have the perfect crunch - kind staff, enjoyed working in their upstairs space

Pretty good bagels and fun space with loving staff.

Great open space, Bagel options toppings, breakfast foods and sandwiches. Pricey! Will go back with out of town guests

Perfect taste, crispness and temperature! Tried the Everything and Onion bagels with Jalapeño cream cheese.Long lines on a Saturday morning but definitely worth the wait.

Get the BEC!

Super nice folks! Line moved quickly and the bagels are delicious. Planning repeat visits to try all the cheeses!

Im a fan of the bagels from the daily driver to the point where I start looking forward to my Tuesday bagel on Sunday so imagine my shock and dismay when I opened my bagel to find that the cream cheese I paid $1.50 for was 1mm thick and barely visible, a stark contrast to the usual good 1/2 inch of spread. I was still hungry after my bagel, which was probably due to the sheer volume of food I lost from having 1/2 inch of spread reduced to 1mm. Sad and disappointed.

Just got a B.E.C. (bacon, egg, cheese) bagel. It was phenomenal. Daily driver makes some of the best bagels in San Francisco. Thats not a hard bar to reach, as SF bagels are dreadful when compared to NY bagels, however these are truly great.Unfortunately, I ordered both the BEC, and another bagel toasted with butter. The toasted with butter had clearly been made first, as it was nearly cold when I received it. The comparison between the two bagels was night and day. The toasted with butter, nearly cold bagel is only worth one star. I definitely wont order it again.Great bagels, but this was definitely a partial fail on execution. Too bad. I had high hopes.

We had a breakfast sandwich, everything bagel with cream cheese, and a pizza bagel. Bagels are good, yet, in the never ending quest for an east coast bagel, Daily Driver still isnt up to par. The everything bagel had a bit too much salt, and, Id say their bagels are 30%-50% smaller than youd expect.

Good Coffee, Good Bagels, friendly staff.

Delicious fresh bagels with great toppings.

Are hard, donut-shaped crackers are a thing these days?

This place is so good! Tried it for the first time last month and have been back twice since to get my bagel / breakfast sandwich fix.

I’m not a big fan of bagels but decided to try this place out and was pleasantly surprised at how good their bagels are. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. The place has an industrial chic decor feel and a chill vibe. They also have vegan spreads.

I prefer airier bagels, whereas the ones here are of the dense variety, but still pretty good. Love the open space of the restaurant. Not cheap, but worth a try.

Dear Daily Driver, you are awesome!!I love all of your bagels, but my favorites are: Gravalax and Pastrami. Soooo good!Thank you!

Wow good bagels. Perfectly toasted and super crunchy on the outside. Veggie cream cheese was delicious and full of real veggies. Price was a bit high ($3.50 for the bagel, $1.50 for the veggie cream cheese) but it is definitely a delicious bagel.

Excellent!!Price is great for quality and amount.We’ve been hear a few times since they’ve opened and it’s always great. Service it’s friendly and the beagles are fantastic.They’ve been around awhile but there is still a line but it’s not so bad. In this city if there wasn’t a line I’d be worried.

Hard to compete with some of the NYC shops, but this is hands down the best bagel I’ve had outside of the big apple!

This place is amazing! The bagels are definitely the best in San Francisco and you have to have the B.E.C. and coffee when you go for breakfast. All of the ingredients are fresh and delicious. The bagels are toasted in a wood fired oven right in front of you and couldnt be any fresher. Its a beautiful space with lots of natural light and plenty of seating. Its a great place to hang out and spend a morning.

Unbelievably cool atmosphere, friendly wait staff, best bagels in the city! They have event nights too during the weekdays which are super fun - I brought friends and family last time and we all stayed for a couple of hours playing board games. Bagels are perfect - dairy is fresh (made on site!!). Buy some butter to take home - you wont regret it. I hope they open a place on the other side of the city soon.

Good bagels and a ton of seating (including 30+ barstool counter seats with lots of power outlets underneath). The line was quite long on opening day and I bet it will remain pretty long for many months at least. The bay area is always on the lookout for a good bagel place (because there arent many) so whenever a new contender shows up they get mobbed.

The interior is a mix of rustic, modern, and industrial—all great when combined. The bagel sandwiches were very good, but it is super expensive. 6 dollars more just to add salmon is a lot. The coffee and homemade butter were also really good.

Best bagel in the city. The BEC is my go-to dish here. Love to pick up butter and liwa here as well.

I came in and had a Ruben bagel. It was pretty good, but the bagel itself was pretty small. After I left I went home and had a protein bar because I was still hungry. I get SF is expensive, but for the price ($14) I expect a bit more food.

I had the everything bagel with cream cheese and it was a little disappointing. The bagels are on the smaller side and they were very minimalistic with the cream cheese. A good bagel for me has a noticeable contrast between a crispy exterior and a chewy (almost bouncy) inner dough texture. This bagel didn’t have a crispy crust and was instead light, airy, and a little dry throughout. I was really excited for this place to open as SF has a dearth of good bagels but this is definitely a middle of the pack bagel. On the plus side, the space is really lovely and it does seem like they are still adjusting their recipes and quality control so hopefully things will improve.

The interior of this place is really awesome and clean, its pretty massive too. Almost too grand for what is just a bagel shop basically. Its quite expensive which I guess makes sense here so oh well. My bagel was pretty good, and they are highly customizable which is fun. They have tons of options and even a potato bagel for example. Would come back to chill some time

This bagel and coffee shop is one of my favourite cafes in SF. I like it so much that its part of my weekly routine to go there every saturday. The everything bagel with cream cheese is the best thing on the menu in my opinion.

Awesome bagels.Grew up on Long Island and these are on par with many of the bagel spots I frequented back then.Fresh bagels never need to be toasted and everyone hating on Daily Driver because they dont toast their bagels is just flat out wrong.

The place is much bigger inside than I expected. Real clean too. The B.E.C. everything bagel sandwich was pretty perfect. The eggs (thin and folded) and bacon (right amount of crisp) were cooked superbly and cheddar cheese was great. The bagel wasnt huge and had some solid toasty bagel flavor. The rock salt on the everything was a nice touch.

Great fresh bagels that are the perfect texture. Damn tasty house-made cream cheese. Great coffee from local coffee roasters (Red Bay) with a great mission.

The lineup is way too long here for a pretty mediocre bagel. I like the concept of the crispy outside but it was far too crispy to the point where it sliced up the whole inside of my mouth. The bagels did not live up to the hype, but they were not bad. But for the price you pay (around 4 bucks for a bagel) I will not be going back

I dont quite get the hype. The taste is what Id expect of a bagel. It is fun to watch people bake the bagels though.

Its a really cute space, and its fun to watch them make the bagels - but honestly the bagels are not very flavorful. We have gone twice with managed expectations and have been underwhelmed. You can get much better bagels elsewhere in the city.

I work in the neighborhood and was recommended to check this place out by a few customers. I was really excited to try it out. I walked in 30 mins before closing, luckily there wasnt a line. There was one person on one register and two people talking in front of the other one. I know they saw me walk in, they didnt say hi, even as I waited in front of them. Ordered the lox on everything bagel. It was okay. Yes, it was expensive, I guess they pay everyone well, which is amazing and I am lucky enough to experience that. I just cant help but think about the product cost vs. profit+tips if they pay them so well, but thats just how I think. Anyway, I like the idea with the sea salt on the bagel, but I didnt like getting crystals of it, it just reminded me of a pretzel. I actually didnt even notice that it wasnt toasted and didnt mind that. Glad I stopped by, most likely not coming back. If Im going to pay $16 for a bagel I might as well get a hello.

Beautiful space but I bought several bagels and salmon cream cheese. I found the bagel exterior to dry-crusty for my liking and missed a more chewy inside. Also given the price I’m not so sure I’ll buy again.

Decent bagel but over-salted (everything bagel). Was hoping for a bagel shop I would frequent for delicious no-nonsense bagels as I live nearby, but at 15 dollars for 4 bagels to-go (no cream cheese, etc), thats just unrealistic.

Excellent bagels and coffee. If you just want plain bagels to go or coffee, you can skip the line. Which is great on the weekends as it gets super busy.

I went specifically to purchase some award winning Tomales Farmstead goat cheese. The cheese is phenomenal and i highly recommended it. Try some with a slice of apple.

I had high hopes but was disappointed. After moving from the East Coast 4 years ago I struggled to find a good bagel in the Bay Area. The DD bagels have the crisp and the chew nearly right, but the taste is all wrong. Probably the best Ive tried locally (very similar to Beautys in Oakland), but not the real thing. Plus they are way overpriced. $39 for a dozen! I can get bagels shipped overnight from Zabars or H&H in NYC for half that price (which is what Ive been doing and will have to continue doing until a better option comes along).

Delicious bagels, fresh dairy products, and coffee. The people here are always friendly and its a great place to grab a bite with a friend or hunker down and work.

Super spacious coffee shop with seemingly delicious bagel, minimalist interior and a lady with Eastern European style emerald scarf amazingly hammer the cheese. And coffee is yummy.

Great bagels. Fast, friendly service. Coffee that does not make you jittery.

If you’re going to charge $3.50 for a bagel it’d better be $&@“ing fantastic. It is. Excellent bagels, but the real star is their cream cheeses. Just outstanding! And the gravlax is reaaally good. My wife dragged me to Daily Driver, but... I absolutely loved it. We’ll be back. And yes the coffee is also good.

I waited months for the opening and it did not disappoint. Best bagels peninsula side. Get the OJ, sit upstairs in the sun, and watch them roast and roll the bagels down their chute.

Nice staff

These bagels are DELICIOUS! The bagels are perfectly cooked (fermented, boiled, and wood fired organic!), seasoned (love the everything and sesame), and topped with all the classic NYC toppings.They also have some seriously good alternative options like quark (think slightly cheese yogurt — super tangy and delicious), cheese (from their own farmstead creamery in West Marin! Truly worth taking some home.), and breakfast bowl items.Also, I am seriously picky and obsessive when it comes to coffee, and Red Bay is absolutely FANTASTIC! They’re a very well regarded roaster out of Oakland (Sprudge award and more!) and their coffee is truly delicious.Daily Driver is perfect for coffee, food, hanging out, WFH days, solo or with friends — definitely a spot worth coming to over and over again! I know I’ll be stopping by every time I’m in SF (and that’s coming from an NYC local).

Great bagels, but not a fan of the cream cheese. Its kind of like ricotta. Bring your Philadelphia cream cheese along.

The look and feel of the place is cool, modern, and gives a fresh look to an old idea: the neighborhood bagel shop. That being said, both the food and environment left a bad taste in my mouth. The staff was abrupt, agitated and gave the impression that my business was not appreciated. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for it. The fresh out of the oven bagel, that I was sooooo looking forward to devouring, was SO SALTY I could not continue after my second bite. I am not bagel connoisseur, but I have had my fare share, and I have never had a bagel this salty. Stale, maybe, too salty to the point I could not eat it - never. Maybe some QA on every batch would help.... They just opened so maybe this is part of opening night jitters. Not sure if I will head back, but if I do and they improves I will be glad to change the review! Note: My wife had hers and it was also too salty, and it was chewy. I asked they to toast hers, and they said they dont toast them since they are fresh out the oven.... Well hers was NEITHER TOASTED NOR FRESH out of the oven then - so.... :-/

Really cool spot! Watch them make the bagels and the Ruben is delicious!

Good bagels but slow service also some cross traffic where you have to go to one side of the counter for food and other side for coffee people burping into you who are ordering. The “too go line is just unhelpful they could take orders from the regular folks if there are no “to go “ orders. So far the food is really good just got some service kinks but that’s typical in the BayArea

These bagels are completely overpriced, over twice as much as most other gourmet bagels ($38.50 for a dozen bagels). Worse than that, they were slightly burned and otherwise completely lacked bagel flavor. The butter, which is touted as cultured on site and sells for $16 dollars, is similarly bland. I would not return.

Seems alright, but if the bagels are so good, why is the default to toast so much?

Such a bummer. If you just get bagels theyll routinely pass you day-olds.

Ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese bagel & oat milk cappuccino. Food is good, albeit expensive. Service was slow considering there was nobody else waiting. N.b., vegan and vegetarian options but nothing gluten free.

Awesome. Bagels are crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle.Try the quark - like a fresh cheese or farmers cheese.

NYC bagels hold a special place in my heart, but the bagel I had here was delicious and definitely hit the spot (a rare thing for West Coast bagels!).

Coffee and atmosphere are great. Really nice addition to the neighborhood
