Bagel Guys - San Jose

The best bagels in Silicon Valley, hands down. Absolutely delicious, especially when paired with their fresh cream cheese selection.

The bagels are pretty good overall, but the bottoms lack seasoning compared to the tops.

Today, the staff at my favorite bagel place seemed a bit unfriendly for some reason. I am giving them only four stars this time, but I will definitely review again when I come back. The breakfast bagel was amazing and it was all cooked to order, no microwave used!

Our goto bagel shop. Bag of day olds are great to buy and freeze too.

The breakfast sandwich with the cragel was okay, about the same as some other places I've been. The insides were good but the cragel itself made me just want a regular bagel. I bought a 12 pack of bagels to test out and they were pretty bad to be honest. Kind of styrofoamy and bland. The cream cheese they make is pretty good though.I consider Noah's to be my middle ground by which I judge things (with House of Bagel being at the very top) and you have to clear the Noah's bar to get me to return and I wouldn't say this quite cleared that bar.The price is also staggeringly high. My wife and I shared a breakfast sandwich and got my youngest a plain cragel and it was almost $20.I think what I've mostly learned from this experience is that cragels are overrated and bagels are just better. It seems like a lot of people like their unique flair and it's good that they have something that clearly defines them though. A lot of breakfast places aren't remotely distinctive, so this is a kind of place where you either love it or hate it I guess.
