Bagel Street Cafe 208 Northgate Drive, San Rafael, CA 94903

"This place is great! A real no-nonsense style set up. The cashier is ready to ring you up, and there are people dispatched immediately to work on your order. You can tell they're well-oiled team and ready for big rushes I am sure they get. As somone who's worked in places like this, noticing they had paper sacks pre-un-folded and puffed up ready to go let me know this. They're not a chain, so while yeah, they could have been more 'smiley', I was there to get coffee and a bagel sandwich fast, and they did just that (and the coffee was decent too AND I drink decaf and I can tell it hadn't been sitting out forever like decaf normally has). I don't usually leave reviews but this place and I doubt they'll ever see it, but it's just exactly what the world is missing nowadays. Simple menu, good prices, fast service, great food, no nonsense. The few seating spots seemed occupied by regulars who seemed very happy to be there. I don't shop in Northgate plaza often, but if I am ever there again in the morning I will plan to hit this spot up."

"They have extremely fresh bagels in the morning. I always get a sesame bagel toasted with cream cheese and it's delicious. And the staff is kind of courteous."

"Whenever I’ve gone there for plain or sesame bagels, I’m met w/sour puss faced people working there. Never a thank you. I like the fresh bagels but not the service. Who would’ve thought 2 bagels would cost $3.50! For that price, I demand a smile."

"bagels are really good, but their prices aren’t consistent. i got charged different amounts for the same bagel w/spread last 2 times."
