Bagel Street Cafe

Best bagels I’ve had so far on the island

Ii liked it

Best bagels in our area.

Cozy bagel place with lots of awesome art. I love their breakfast bagel sandwiches and lox bagels. Their veggie options are flavorful and their drinks are nice and hot! More than anything, their proximity to groceries and Amazon return makes a chore into a fun morning activity. Arrive early because they may sell out of bagels.

My favorite bagel and coffee place in Alameda.

They added on a tip without my knowledge or consent. I always tip, but I found it strange that the woman checking me out did not turn around the iPad so I could choose my tipping option, nor did she give me a receipt. I was at first worried that I hadn't tipped, then I realized the cost of my food was much higher than expected. I vocalized my concerns out loud while I calculated the costs of my order with my brothers, realizing that she added on a 20% tip without my consent, and she didn't think I would catch on without the receipt. I was loud enough for her and the other customers in line to hear, because all of a sudden she was turning around the iPad for the rest of the line. This was not only illegal to do, it made me feel cheated and disrespected. If I wasn't in a rush, I would have confronted her and asked her to charge back the amount even though I had planned to tip 20% regardless. If it matters, I was there Dec 29th around 12pm. They also got my brother's coffee order wrong. There was no seasoning on my egg and no condiment whatsoever on the sandwich, so it was dry and bland. I'll never be coming back and watch out for the tip stealer! Edit** Response to the reply from the shop: I clearly saw the teller turn around the iPad for the customers after me for a tip, and I urge anyone who visits next to see them do this as well. Not sure why you are attempting to gaslight me, I know what I saw and I have never heard of a coffee shop without a tipping feature. Not in 2024 America..

I don’t know why, but I was feeling fine before I went there. Then soon after eating there felt sick to my stomach. Something in my California club on everything bagel (it isn’t called everything but it’s basically the same thing) didn’t sit well with me. And I don’t have allergies. It tasted god, but I’m paying for it now.
