Chicken Dog Bagels: The Best Bagels in San Francisco Await You

I’ve recently moved to SF from the east coast and have high expectations for my bagels; thankfully, Chicken Dog meets those expectations. Bagels have a great flavor, texture, and consistency. Lookin forward to making this a typical Saturday stop.

Totally legit New York style bagels here. Owner is super nice. If you’ve never had bialy, I highly recommend it. It’s a bagel packed with flavors. The only downside is that they don’t toast the bagels. I would recommend getting them togo and toast them yourself

Simply excellent bagels perfect texture and flavor. We bought lox and cream cheese to make bagel sandwiches at home and everything was fresh and delicious. The bagels freeze well too - just slice them while fresh, put them in an airtight container, and pop them in the toaster when you’re ready to eat!

This is it, the bagel that inspired me to write my first food review in SF. I’ve been on the hunt for the best bagel - rest assured you can stop by Chicken Dog and leave satisfied that you might’ve just found it. I’ve spent enough time in NY to know that a good bagel can give me goosebumps, and eating this bagel on a park bench in Bernal Heights Park was a spiritual experience. The crispy crust and dense crumb combine into a jaw workout that will remind you what your skull feels like and help you savor each bite for just a bit longer. I downed three bagels without skipping a beat and the horseradish shallot cream cheese was the perfect dip for each bite. I’ll definitely be back soon!

I used to hate when people used to say, " There is no "good bagels" here in SF! (Especially those from New York and the East Coast!) I had to agree. No disrespect to Wise Sons or Daily Driver! Sometimes I don't feel like driving to Berkeley for Boichik or Beauty Bar. I want a good priced bagel and not Noah! It's $2.50 for a great bagel here! Very happy with Chickendog! Bagels are fresh and crispy outside, dense and chewy dough inside! I splurged a little bit since its the weekend and got a lox sandwich, delicious! You are able to preorder but I simply walked up a little bit after 9am and ordered. Was able to leave a happy customer after I was handed my bag of goodies few minutes later. Please check their website since they are open with limited days and hours.

Great bagels, friendly, line moves quickly. They're not kidding when they say they sell out within a couple hours of opening. I arrived around an hour after opening and the everything bagels were sold out. I will absolutely return, and I have to wake up earlier next time!

These are simply THE BEST BAGELS. I’ve lived in NYC, and turns out, you need to come to Bernal Heights, SF on a Friday or Saturday if you want to have the best bagel this county (world?) has to offer. A distinct bagel with a beautiful boiled crust, a soft chew inside, and that slight tang of sourdough. Alex is unapologetic in creating a bagel that stands out while still adhering to tradition. Get these bagels… if they aren’t already sold out!
