9 reviews for The Posh Bagel
I just ate here. My experience was decent. In general, a bagel is a bagel is a bagel. There are some I prefer over others, but they're all generally satisfying and I doubt I've ever had a "bad" one. This location serves its purpose, offering bagels for people to purchase and consume. Some people hoot and holler over "authentic" but at the end of the day, it's a doughy thing with too many calories for its own good. I also like that the Posh Bagel offers lots and lots of options for bagel toppings. I'd come back here.
The place just opened up and so far, the reviews are horrendous. It looks pretty dead every time I walk by. The lady behind the counter was incredibly nice and accommodating, and I hate to think that maybe business is tanking just because of some craptastic yelp reviews.
So here, Posh Bagel on Geary, I offer you a five-star rating and turn my nose up at the yelp establishment. I also give you an A for effort and wish you good luck with your business.

Posh Bagel is closed, out of business at this location. Confirmed Sun 9/13/09. Shop is empty.
Not a bad spot for a sandwich with avocado and sprouts on bagel-esque bread. The ingredients are fresh and the texture of the bread works really well with the available sandwich fixings.
The white pizza bagel (mozzerella and garlic butter) is okay, but it has way too much raw garlic - I can probably ward off vampires with the amount of garlic I ingest on a regular basis, so if you get one, you've been warned...
If you're looking to get an actual bagel with some cream cheese, don't bother going here. These aren't bagels. They're not bad, and they work better as sandwich bread than real bagels, but calling these bagels would be like calling Yelp a dating site. However, I suppose Posh Bagel makes for a catchier name than Posh Bread That's Sort of Like a Bagel so there you have it.

I thought the bagel itself was OK.
What I had a problem with here was the ridiculous amount of cream cheese they put on it. Look, I know that's what your paying for, but no human being can possibly eat that much cream cheese and still be alive afterward. Elvis in his 40s would have been disgusted. After getting about 1/3rd through, I just had to open it up and scrape most of it off. After taking a few more bites, I just decided I had lost my appetite.
I'm not a huge HoB fan either, but at least I finished my bagel there. This one ended up going to the pigeons.

Sundays are my fun days, but mostly my lazy days, which means little to no cooking from this girl. Luckily Posh Bagel is a mere hop skip and a jump away from home, so a quick stroll down the block wasn't completely out of the question.. not to mention the BF has been ragging about their yummy Pizza bagels.
Their menu is pretty extensive, so it took me a minute to configure a desirable bagel. Bagel sandwish, pizza bagel, toasted bagel, everything bagel, cream cheese, shmear, specialty shmear, tomatoes, sprouts, swiss cheese, cheddar cheese.. an overwhelming number of options. So many that even I seemed to have confused the hell out of the "bagel artist".. an everything bagel , toasted w/ plain cream cheese, onion, tomato and sprouts.. not that difficult, wouldn't you agree?
On another note, the woman behind the counter also did not speak very good English, not to mention looked slightly uncomfortable cutting bagels and working the industrial toaster..
Bagel Lady: "So you want a bagel sandwich?"
Me: "Umm.. If you wanna call it a sandwich, sure.. just an everything bagel, toasted w/ plain cream cheese, tomato, onion and sprouts.."
Bagel Lady: "So a bagel sandwich?"
Me: "Uhhh... yeah okay"
FYI: Their "Bagel Sandwiches" come with the works.. like Subway works. So, even if you only want 3 out of the 7 works ingredients, be prepared to pay full price because this biatch charged me $8.00 for my fucking bagel and THEN an additional $1.99 for a large coffee that was 18oz., maybe 20oz. at most. WTF?
*Was the bagel at least decent?
Yes. Actually, it was really damn good even though she forgot to toast the shit.. umm, hello?!?
*Would you ever go back?
No. After the last few horrid bagel experiences I've gone through, I think I'm cool with just doing it the old fashioned way.. buy a bag of bagels and a tub of shmear and make the shit at home.
Maybe I should've listened to the BF and ordered the Pizza Bagel. But seriously, fucking up a bagel is just inexcusable.

I've been on this eggwich kick lately and craving the combination of egg, cheese and bagel so stopped by here to try it out. It was actually pretty good, but my only complaint would be that when I asked the girl there, "is it toasted?" she gave a confident "ya" but when I got the bagel it definitely wasn't toasted. When I got home, I put it in my own toaster oven for a minute, and it tasted really good. The portion of egg:cheese was perfect. I like this place a little better than house of bagels. The staff at house of bagels is friendlier, but the eggwich at Posh tasted slightly better in my opinion.
This location sucks. I prefer the Sutter St downtown location. Shitty service with attitude here.
On the bright side, its all about the Pizza Bagel...
YUMMMM
The bagels looked a little too big and fluffy here, so continue on to House of Bagels for your authentic bagel experience.
However, I got a perfectly good bagel sandwich here with cucumber, which I love on sandwiches, but you can't get nowhere, no way no how.
Sarah Lee bagels at black market prices. You can't call these things they make bagels; maybe "flavorless elastic white bread rings" or something along those lines. The bakery at Safeway leaves this place in the dust. Their bagels are even more expensive than House of Bagels which is 2 blocks away. It'd be interesting to see how long they stay business.
