The Laundromat SF

A friend recently introduced me to Laundromat Bagel & Cafe on Balboa Street in the Outer Sunset, and I'm so glad they did. The cafe immediately stood out thanks to the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bagels drifting onto the street. Inside, the space felt airy and inviting, with a thoughtful blend of wood and metal accents that created a warm, modern atmosphere. What impressed me just as much was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, smiling, and genuinely friendly. Their warmth made the experience feel personal and memorable. As for the bagels, they are hands down superior to most bagels I've had in San Francisco. Even without toasting, the exterior had a satisfying crunch while the inside remained light and fluffy. The flavor was wonderfully balanced—neither sweet nor grainy, but pleasantly nutty. Most remarkable of all, the bagels weren't overly chewy, allowing their texture and flavor to shine. The cream cheese deserves special recognition as well. The best way I can describe it is New York meets Bay Area style: dense and creamy, yet somehow light and fluffy, with just the right amount of tanginess. I'm thrilled to have been introduced to Laundromat for its exceptional bag

Im someone who hates waiting in line, but I think this place is worth the 35 min wait. The staff is genuinely nice and wants you to enjoy. The pizza is the star of the show… but DONT skip the truffle honey!!! Or their very cool wine selection! Loved the ambiance & food

Tried both the bagels and vegan broccoli pizza and both were soo good! Pizza had a great amount of cheese and some spice and the broccoli rabe is a cool variation you don’t often see on a pizza! Will definitely order again. There can be lines on the weekend even for pick up but worth it! Staff helped me confirm if the bagel I chose was vegan and the vegan pizza is clearly labeled Staff is really nice too!

went for breakfast, and they have only a small area open where they sell delicious bagels. $3 for a warm fresh bagel and $7 for scallion cream cheese to cover 2 or bagels, and overall well worth it if you're coming with a buddy.

As a bagel enthusiast, I have to agree with the claim that these are the best bagels in SF 🥯 The vegan cream cheese is delectable but 1 tub is enough for 4 bagels. Get an everything bagel if you want it fresh and hot or try a poppyseed if you wanna branch out. Plan to eat the bagels elsewhere since there's no seating; I recommend taking them to Lands End 🌁
