Bagel Bakery

I haven’t been in my hometown in a while, and I was craving a fresh bagel like a madwoman. Much to my dismay, «Java Bagels» is now an italian restaraunt and I had to search elsewhere.
I was recommended to this place by a friend, because it was the only «bagel shop» in town. The place was clean and fully stocked with yummy looking pastries, bagels, and drink options but in the end I was far from impressed.
While the presentation of the product appeared good, the process of preparation was far from it. I asked for two different bagels TOASTED with cream cheese «to go» this morning. What I received were too microwaved bagels with a sloppy wad of cream cheese in the middle.
When I got home to eat what I bought, I was horribly disappointed because the bagels were tough and lacking flavor. The cream cheese was clumpy and got all over the place.
Not to mention there is a $ 5 limit for cards and the service was less than I could have hoped for.
This town needs to stop getting rid of quality places and accepting less in return. Looks like Gilroy or San Juan Bautista may serve me better at this point. I will not recommend this place to anyone I know, nor will I be returning to it any time soon.

A wonderful friendly place to get delicious fresh bagels. I come here several times a week and have never been disappointed. I walk in and they very kind and attentive staff already have my pizza bagel with cream cheese in the works. Donuts are good, but bagels are excellent. Also, the make a really good croissant, sandwiches and bagel dogs. Must try!

Do not like this place at all. The donuts are greasy and th bagels are undercooked. For those of us used to delicious donuts from spudnuts and bagels from places like house of bagels then you will be disappointed. The lady also over charges you for items in a sneaky way. I would not recommend it.

They have everything there: bagels, donuts, pearl drinks, and many more! Everything I’ve ordered there are all fresh and delicious! Very nice and friendly workers! Bagel Bakery is the BEST in Hollister!!!

Super good fresh bagels. Amazing customer service they remember your order if you are a regular. Sesame seed bagel with cream cheese is the bomb. My kids LOVE the donuts holes or bagels with strawberry cream cheese. Must try finally real bagels in Hollister!

My family and I have been going here for years. They really do have the best bagels in town. They also have donuts! those are yummy too. They make bagel sandwiches, they make breakfast croissants, and they make pizza! We’ve tried all of that and it’s all super good. This is the only bagel shop I will be going to while I live in Hollister. Oh, one more thing, the service is wonderful. The family who works there are super friendly.

Great donuts and bagels. Friendly staff. Worth a try!

LOVE the donuts and bagels here!
They have GREAT croissant/​bagel sandwiches and the gourmet bagels are oh so good!!!
Try the jalapeño n’ cheese or pesto bagel as a toasted turkey & bacon sandwich, MMMMMMMM!!!

Great donuts and from what others say the bagels are good too.

Friendly lady in the front, lots of choices. I haven’t tried the doughnuts but the bagels are pretty solid. Not jawdropping good, but for Hollister this is a pretty good establishment.

The good: Bagels taste great, as well as the donuts. Pretty friendly staff, and the owner always says hello…
The bad: The lady who works up front, seldom types in the same ammount on the cash register, I’ve had 2.02, 2.32, and 3.21 in the last 3 visits for a bagel and cream cheese… and when I came in with a coupon for buy a dozen, get free half dozen, she double charged my for the tub of cream cheeze. She is very sly, and you need to keep on top of her. It’s close, and I wont squander about a couple bucks, but still dissapointing.
