The Posh Bagel

I would eat here more often if they didn’t have a $ 5 minimum on credit card transactions. Hi, you are a bagel shop. Almost everything is under $ 5. It’s also 2015, so carrying cash (especially in Oakland) is silly.
Just charge me 50 cents or whatever. I get that you are a small business, but there are nicer ways to get over the credit card transaction fees.
The bagels aren’t bad though.

Ordered two Eggwich Deluxe sandwiches at Posh Bagel. This sandwich is suppose to have spinach, mushroom and ham. Sounds good right? I thought so too! I even added extra avocado because it goes so well with ham.
To my dismay, the Eggwich Deluxes my fiancé and I were looking forward to demolishing for breakfast, were missing the ham!
Everything else was there, even the avocado, but NO HAM! Hella disappointing.
Staff were friendly, but I didn’t get what I paid for so therefore 2 stars.

I love this place. Yummy bagels, bagel sandwiches. I think we are are in agreement that the cronuts suck. I got one, once, and was dismayed. I love their jalapeño bagels and eggwiches. Decent coffee, too. I have seen some negative attitude from employees but only when it was super busy and a customer was being a dumbass… Glad this place is in my hood!

Are you «phở king» kidding me, $ 18 for two bagels with cream cheese and lox. Call the FBI I was robbed. Where on the menu does it say extra $ 8 for cream cheese and lox EACH??? You better go down to the near by WFB to make a withdraw before coming here, or better yet head up the Kronnen burger for $ 3 more you can have an artisan burger if you’re into that type of thing. Geeezzz, I feel I’ve been violated…

I’m originally from the Eastern time zone, and I love everything about California– except for the bagel selection, that is. Posh Bagel, however, has a decent variety and the guys who work there are very nice. My fiancé and I go there every Sunday morning.

What a huge disappointment! I was looking forward to a cronut for months and the one I finally got this morning was absolutely horrible and inedible. The thing was so stale that I could barely bite into it, let alone chew it. When I ordered it, I saw the employee open up a plastic wrapped cardboard tray that had a Piedmont Grocery label on it. Does this mean the cronut was actually returned from the grocery store because it didn’t sell and was at least a day old? Posh should be ashamed for charging for something that should never have been sold. Why on earth would you sell a stale anything!!! The only saving grace was me saving a lot of calories by throwing the pastry away less than halfway through eating it.

Gluten free people rejoice! One of the guys here makes an off menu item that is a cucumber stuffed with your choice of meat veg and cheese. It’s cheaper than a bagel sandwich and mine was delicious (I had chicken salad sprouts and provolone). They also make a gluten free breakfast plate that is off menu and sounds good too. Ask for Cu.

I’ve been coming here for years and have never encountered a problem until today.
I ordered a garden bagel with lox cream cheese that totaled up to $ 9 and some change. When I brought it to the cashier’s attention he shrugged his shoulders at me and said well you ordered the lox cream cheese which is $ 3 extra. And where does it say that on the board? No where! Now. I don’t mind paying but I expect to be advised.
Needless to say the new management sucks major balls as the owner was more interested in ripping me off rather than fixing the problem so that I continue supporting his business.
On that note. I am breaking up with posh for good!

I love their tuna melt on a pesto spinach bagel! Well actually I love their bagels period

Best Bagel joint by far! Mmm I usually order cheese con Jalapeño w cream cheese: D the calories are worth it! Lol.

The posh bagel is a fun and relaxing place to go eat breakfast and/​or a midday snack. They have a variety of tapioca drinks and of course many bagels to choose from. My favorite is the Asiago bagel with the lox cream cheese, it’s super good! Free wifi is also a plus! Definitely recommend this place.

I grew up coming here. In the morning sometimes before school my mom would treat me to a bagel. Today I was in the area and decided to give the place a try. One word to describe my experience is GROSS! I decided to try their Cronut. It must have been sitting there for at least a day. It reminded me of an old donut. I also ordered a bagel toasted with cream cheese. My bagel wasn’t toasted but I decided to eat it anyway. So I began eating and noticed an onion ish taste to my cream cheese. That doesn’t taste so great on a cinnamon raisin bagel. So much for trying to relive my childhood. I won’t be returning. Maybe clean knives, better listening skills and fresh cronuts will help this place. They weren’t even busy! Now I see why.

Sooo tasty! This place rocks. Elegant and a perfect atmosphere. Great customer service and even better food

Posh bagel sets the highest standard of excellence among local bagel shops. The staff is professional and friendly and the bagels are top quality. This establishment stands out for great customer service among Piedmont businesses!
These are the best bagels in Oakland!!!

Yesterday Thursday, 4÷2÷2015, I purchased a roasted marinara bagel, with tomato basil cream cheese. As I went to pay for it, I noticed that there was a child operating the cash register. I found this odd, but did not say anything. Another patron asked the little boy how old he was, and he said nine. What I would like to say is that the little boy was not speaking to the customer’s, he was just taking the money. It was early in the morning at a busy time of the day. Also, while eating the bagel I found a piece of small plastic in the cream cheese. I am not sure if child labor is permitted, but if you are going to have a child working at least TEACH THEM HOW TO INTERACT WITH THE CUSTOMER… after all the customer is the reason the business exist.

I ordered a dozen Cronuts for the office on Friday, March 27. I was excited because I haven’t had a Cronut and also haven’t been to Posh since 2012.
NEW MANAGEMENT obviously… had to ask for help and after I placed my order I went to stand by the register to pay… and up popped from behind the counter was a boy about 5 — 7 years old. He had a tissue stuck up one nostril and his face was red and flushed. I watched as he timidly touched the register buttons and when he saw me looking at him. he went to stand by his mother (?). And promptly started coughing (the same cough I hear in the hallways of Kaiser) all over my Cronuts !!!
Needless to say… WALKED OUT OF THE STORE ! If I HAVE to tell you that it is not only unsanitary but unsafe (illness contamination) to have sick children where you prepare and serve food. I thought it was Food 101.
Upon talking to my co-workers…I found out Posh Bagels is under new management and it was probably the owner’s child. As I am a mother. I understand the constraints when you have a sick child however you have a duty to the public when you are serving food and impacting THEIR HEALTH !
Sadly, will never go there again. If this is what happens… who knows what is going on over there !! No consideration for public health.
Seriously thinking about calling CA Dept of Public Health

Ugh! I ordered an everything bagel and didn’t check the bag, because the lady put in a small poppy seed bagel instead. It was still good, but not what I was craving. You’ve been warned fellow Unilocalers, check your bag, she’s not listening this brown haired lady.
Place is kept clean. They do have a restroom if you happen to need it. And the bagels were good, just check your order.

This place used to be 5 stars. But since this place came under new management a couple of years back, the bagel quality has gone downhill. My sandwich this morning tasted like a roll will a hole in. Not good. Staff too had trouble understanding my simple order.

Posh? Decided to try this place yesterday.
1 star for clean, orderly appearance.
Looks OK, everything in the store also looks like a shopping trip to Costco! Bagels too breadyy. yes Costco bagels. I’ve been shopping @costco for years.
The mocha I ordered, actually wanted an ice mocha and the owner didn’t understand me. I was happy to get some caffeine so I didn’t correct him when I saw the coffee cup. Put on a smile, BUT the milk was bad! Sour, not mocha flavor —-YUCK.
Stay away from the cut fruit, it’s over ‘day olds’, had to toss mine, slimy, not good. What a waste of $. I’ll never go back there.

Wow this place has changed a lot! I heard it has gone through new management! There are plenty of things I like about this place like,
1. eggwiches are delicious and huuuuge!
2. What tasty smokes slice lox omg! ^^
3. Nice staff
4. Clean and always busy
5. You can call ahead of time to order and just pick up asap, so easy did this with my company haaha
6. Last boba drinks at a bagel-​shop shut the front door!
Give This Posh Bagels a try or a second chance its great I’m a regular!
