The Posh Bagel

Eggwich on garlic without butter is my go-​to (more often than I’d like to admit). So good.
When I want something sweet, I go for chocolate chip with regular cream cheese for a rich treat OR the chocolate chip muffin which has chocolate chips throughout and not just on top.
The staff is nice and service is super fast. Great value.

I got the turkey avocado melt on a double crunch roll and it was amazing! I was surprised by the range of things they offer from breakfast to pizza to sandwich bagels and not to mention the muffins and the donuts and the teas and the coffee and so many other delicious looking things. And good prices too, not too gouged for being in tourist central.

Boba only review.
Stopped in near Embarcadero Bart for a boba (pearl tea) and it was only decent.
The regular jasmine tasted powdery with almost no flavor and mostly ice. 1 star.
The hot matcha was solid and had flavor and depth, though definitely not great. 3 stars.
Bagels are probably good here, but the boba drinks, skippable.

Appearance/​Cleanliness: This place could definitely use a good scrub down. Also, for some reason there is a ton of unorganized paperwork behind the counter. Even on the walls there are a bunch of random papers everywhere. Maybe that’s ordering system? Whatever it is, it’s not easy on the eyes.
Ham & Cheese Croissant Sandwich: I’ve ordered this a handful of times, hoping each time would be better than the last. I was wrong and should’ve known better. I’m pretty sure they use Kraft American Cheese. Each time I’ve ordered it the «cheese» wasn’t melted all the way. It left a dry and chalky aftertaste. The last time I ordered it I took a bite and was thoroughly disgusted so I threw it away.
Fruit & Yogurt Parfait: The fruit isn’t fresh. The last time I ordered it there was mold on my blueberry.
Fresh Pineapple: This was a winner and I love pineapple!
Thai Iced Tea w/​Boba: Pretty good and I would order this again.

First time here and I got the glazed and maple bacon cronut, unfilled. I thought both flavors tasted okay.
Cronuts cost $ 2.99 each here and they are pretty much the same size as a donut. I’m sure if I had gotten the filled cronut, it would have been overly too sweet for me.

I stopped by Posh Bagel for breakfast one day since I arrived early for training in the city. The place wasn’t crowded and there wasn’t a line so that was a huge green light for me to try out their bagels. I needed something substantial so I ordered their Eggwich Deluxe.
Eggwich Deluxe —
Deluxe breakfast bagel sandwich with choice of bagel, egg omelette, ham, and cheese. I went with an Asiago Cheese Bagel. The bagel wasn’t over toasted and the ham and omelette tasted good. All together it was a good breakfast sandwich.
This location at the Embarcadero is nice because they’re open everyday and every time I’ve gone there, their bagel supply is fully stocked. And if it ever gets crowded with folks, you can always find a table outside at Justin Herman Plaza.

This location has vegan donuts! Enough said, right? They are delicious cake donuts in a few flavors — chocolate, blueberry, maple, cherry and strawberry. They are not too dense with little air pockets and not too much frosting. I’m drooling just thinking about it. One star for affordability too — they come in at a very reasonable $ 1.25 each, which is super cheap compared to Pepple’s in the Ferry Building. These are no frills, but they do the trick if you need a sweet fix.
Their bagels are also delicious and they have toppings like peanut butter or hummus instead of cream cheese. Their cut strawberries deserve a shout out too, which seems weird, but you can tell they’re cut by hand and not some gross fruit salad. Worth a star in my book.

Absoutely best service and prices are unbelievable cheap. Turkey advocado croissant sandwich was the i have ever had. I will definetly be coming back here in the future. Highly recommended! All ingredients used were fresh.

I had a delightful experience at Posh Bagel. I had the turkey avocado croissant and there croissants are made fresh daily. The staff members are friendly and it’s right next to Ferry Building!

My number one go to for coffee and/​or a snack. The people are really friendly and the product is good. I usually get the white mocha and I enjoy it very much.
Decent prices considering its location.

The bagel itself was good, but there was WAAAAAY too much salt going on. Was this bagel on Noah’s Ark? did the rocky sea waves soak into it’s soft bageley core? Having had onion bagels at Posh’s location on Sutter– I did not get what I was expecting. Still a good bagel though, if you like salt.

bagels, outside of the greater New York metropolitan area?! surgery, in an opera?!
as a Brooklyn ex-​pat now living in Queens, I feel qualified to pontificate about bagels.
the bagels are decent here. they lack the particular flavor inherent in New York bagels, but the texture is right. I’m not a fan of them toasting the bagels by default, though. I found this out the first day.
the coffee is real good, though, and refills are only $ 1. variety of other drinks, like bubble tea, are available too.
staff is friendly.

Very nice staff and always accommodating whenever i call to place an order for pick up.
my go to spot for Boba drinks!

Two words: Jalapeño Bagel!
A pretty small, but decent place to get a quick breakfast. Found this place while wandering the Embarcadero after getting some coffee from the Coffee Bean. The service was fast and the place was packed with businesspeople heading to work. Not the cleanest shop on earth, but far from the worst. I’d probably stop in again.

I get their spinach asiago bagel with garlic spread almost every day I go to work. It’s filling and holds me over til 1 pm or so. The service is wonderful, the bagels are way better than Noah’s. Love coming here! Highly recommend if you’re in the mood to load up on carbs. They also sell sandwiches, cronuts, cookies, iced boba drinks etc. They’re quick and efficient. I’m usually running to work and they’re so fast you’re in and out of there about 2 to 3 minutes tops. LOVE!

Review for the Chicken Salad Sandwich and Pearl Milk Tea:
Been here a couple of times when I wanted to grab something quick for lunch. I like their sandwiches. I have tried the chicken salad sandwich which is really good. The milk tea is great. Try it with the grass jelly. You will not regret.
The service is quick and friendly and price is ok!

Mmm… bagel with schmear. What can I say about this?! So good! This carb junkie is def hooked. I got the spinach asiago bagel and bought a garlic schmear. Ugh. Garlic breath but who cares?! So yummy! I can’t wait to come back for more bagels. Talk about extra carbs in the am but Def worth it.
Also got a glazed CRONUT! this place has it and it’s pretty on the crossiant side rather than the donut. Pretty pricey cause it was 3 bucks for one but they have lot of flavors. I forgive them cause they are made fresh. Yum!

Sandwich melt review:
came here on the day there was a Disney on Ice Special by Hawaiian Airlines for a light bite before dinner. The menu is pretty extensive. I am an indecisive person so my bf decided to pick a melt. We order a pastrami melt and it came with a littttle side of potato salad. The sandwich was not bad! Not too little but not too much meat with the perfect amount of cheese. They also validate parking for 5pm — 9pm with any purchase over $ 5. Customer service was also great considering how busy the place was during that time. They were very patient and kind despite our indecisiveness haha. Will be back if I’m in that area again!

Boba tea review:
In the kingdom of the blind, the one-​eyed man is king. The rumor was the bubble tea was «good» here. I didn’t expect much but it might just be good enough to fill the void in this area of the city for boba addicts who are limited by walking and can only take a short break during the workday. Its a desperate situation to which Posh Bagel takes advantage.
The menu was naturally limited being mainly purveyor of bagel sandwiches and they only had the more basic teas and flavors. I was surprised at how soft the bobas were which I took to mean they were fresh. I asked for less sweet, less boba and less ice and they complied. Thus, when the boba craving strikes, I might find myself back.

Popped by here at around 12:45 PM just yesterday (Thursday). My friend, JQ, who also works in the city, and I have been friends since high school. Now as adults, we’re partners in stuffing our faces.
Last week she mentioned Posh Bagel and when I looked it up on Unilocal,I noticed that there were quite a few locations. At first she suggested the one on Sutter and I was 100% behind it until I looked closely at the little main picture for this location at 4 Embarcadero.
Is. That. BOBA!!! Further investigation through the photos uploaded for this location confirmed that that was so. And that’s why we ended up here yesterday. :)
She got: Cinnamon Sugar Cronot (no filling) + Taro Boba Milk Tea
I got: Chocolate Sugar Cronot (no filling) + Plain Boba Milk Tea
The only other cronot I’ve ever had was from Paris Baguette, and from what I remember, it was way greasy. Posh’s, on the other hand, was not! I’m a huge chocoholic, but even I have to admit that between the Cinnamon Sugar and the Chocolate, well, points go to Cinnamon Sugar. The chocolate was the kind you’d find on a regular donut. But this is a CROnot people! Yeah. It’s fine on a donut, but the cronot has a different overall texture and the two… didn’t mesh.
JQ and I didn’t have a problem placing our orders or finding a table.
And even though the milk tea isn’t anything spectacular, it’ll definitely do when I have a craving and I don’t want to walk all the way to Quickly. :)

³⁄₅ boba? surprise!
