Fresh every morning, since 1996
Bagel Street Cafe started with one shop in Alamo and a simple promise: bake fresh bagels from scratch, every single day. Nearly three decades later, that's still the whole idea.
Bagel Street Cafe | Our Story
One shop in Alamo
In 1996, Bagel Street Cafe opened its doors in the East Bay hills with a counter, an oven, and a neighborhood to feed. It was family-run from day one — and still is.
The bagels speak for themselves
Every bagel is made in-house daily — plain to jalapeño cheddar, Asiago to pesto — with a chew that's earned genuine East Coast approval. The jalapeño cream cheese alone is worth the trip.
Growing without losing the plot
Twenty-two locations across the Bay, and the spirit hasn't shifted — staff still know your name, and on weekend mornings the bagels sell out early. That's not marketing; that's just what happens when people love the food.
Nothing goes to waste
Bagels that don't sell by end of day get sliced thin and slow-baked into bagel chips — crunchy, flavorful, and a little addictive. It's a small thing that says a lot about how this place is run.
Your neighborhood spot, 22 times over
From commuters to families making it a Saturday ritual, Bagel Street Cafe is woven into Bay Area mornings. In 2022, Lux Life named it the Best Bagel & Pastry Shop in the SF Bay Area.
