Bagel with lox was very good. High quality bagel and tomato. Usually not a fan of tomatoes, but I liked the ones they used. Also had a pretty good selection of soft drinks, which was nice. You can buy just lox or cream cheese from here, but it seemed pretty expensive. Very much a hole in the wall, but the decor was cute.
Some of the BEST bagels you will ever put in your mouth!!! Friendly service, EXCELLENT bagels & supporting a locally owned business π. Give yourself a great gift and stop by here when you're in San Francisco. Forget corporately made lackluster food. Treat your palate well and enjoy the best bagels. I've eaten one almost every day while visiting SF & will be taking a bagful home πππ
I really do love this place. Very nice ladies behind the counter and the breads and toppings are just 'Better" than the chains. Try and compare like I did .π
I have known the owners and Holy Bagel for many years.. They are consistently decent bagels, fine for those picky New Yorkers at much more reasonable prices of some of the new "gourmet bagel" places. A bialy is filled with onion and a good texture. Overall, for San Francisco, Holy Bagel in Noe Valley has and is a true standard of the neighborhood.
I crave these bagels. Theyβve got the right texture, chewiness, and crust. Just solid! The women are kind, and they offer the main staple toppings, prices and the quality are way better than the fancier bagel places youβll come across in the city (like wise sons). Vegans can get tofutti cream cheese, hummus, or avocado π€
Stop here, support asian-owned businesses, and eat like a local. A win for everyone π
Great bagels. Ok I'm just chewing on a beautiful warm bagel from holey bagel and reveling in how delicious they are. I had to update my review to include this note about how if you can get them warm they are extra special. Obviously most of the dozen won't be eaten warm but they are always a treat!
Was in there for such a short time but the owners are so nice and friendly. Please go for cheap bagels!
Fast service, straight forward menu, and delicious food! I got a turkey sandwich on a sesame bagel and it hit the spot perfect as I was out and about and needed a quick lunch! Also have to note that I ordered very quickly and they remembered no mayo!!! This is amazing as a mayo hater, there's nothing more relieving than seeing your sandwich made how you ordered it!! Will be back!
I felt like I was walking into a bagel joint in NY or Philly, except run by friendly Asian ladies rather than friendly Jewish ladies. We had toasted sesame bagels, one with white fish and one with lox. Tasty. Great start to the day.

Moved here from NYC and thought for the longest time, gee these Left Coasters have no idea what a bagel is... each bagel I try here tastes like Wonderbread. But Holey Bagel makes his on premises, boiled not baked. These are authentic bagels, guys. And the owner is super nice to boot. I pick mine up after 230p when the is a massive discount (but only a few left of what he made that day!)
Best bagel in this area. The place is pretty bare bones. The bagels are smaller, but they're soft on the inside and have a good "skin." Service is very quick. I like the pumpernickle with regular cream cheese and most of the veggies. I also like to get the salt bagel with butter, but BE WARNED, their salt bagel is very salted.
Gotta love their bagel twists!
Absolutely phenomenal- everything they make here is deliciously divine. The service is super and they go out of their way to make you feel like family. Forever love this spot.
My personal favorite is a Poppy bagel with ham, avocado, Swiss and their house made veggie spread, it is the best combination!!!!!! their bagels are great and they make all their own cream cheese spreads there. the staff is really nice and will always get the order right!!
Great spot for a lox bagel. Made quickly with quality salmon. Slightly on the more expensive side.
