I will start with the one positive thing. The people that work there seem to be nice. I have been in this bagel shop 3 times. I really feel like I have dodge a bullet. Like I had a revolver against my temple with 1 bullet in it, spun the chamber and got lucky as I clicked it off 3 times. Each of the 3 times I entered I noticed a number of things wrong. There are problems in the back area, the prep area, the dining area and the bathrooms. The back area, like the rest of the establishment, is cluttered with needless junk. On one of my lunch breaks I went in and saw ham and cheese sitting outside of the cooler on a cheep rolling cart when I walked in. I stayed for 25 minutes as I ate my bagel and when I left the meet and cheese were still sitting on the same cart. Besides the general mess all over, in the front prep area there are four stacks of bagel baking racks filled with baking sheets. One of the stacks is stuffed with papers calculators, pens, old cups of coffee, and just other random $#!t that shouldnt be there. I then looked around. There is random stacks of papers in ever corner of the prep area, as if they just use any place for an office. Every table in the front area is dirty. The floors are dirty. I wanted some pepper, but there was dried mayo and mustard crusted on the top of the shaker that must have been there for days, weeks or months, NOT hours. The bathroom was the worst. I am a guy, so when we pee we lift the toilet seat so we dont go on the toilet seat. When I lifted the toilet seat there was (new and old) blood stains with pubic hair matted in. I noticed fecal matter had dried and crusted on under the edge of the toilet where the water drains. This thing hadnt been cleaned for months !!! The floor was nasty, and this was the place where the staff comes to use the toilet and wash their hands !!! Even the front sign of this place is run down and pealing off. On my way out I tried to kindly explain these issues and the owner said thank you and walked away. Well I hope I dont die, because I just ate there today and you never know what could happen. If I do not die, I will definitely not risk my fate with another round of Russian Roulette.

I absolutely love this place. The bagels are delicious, cheap and the service is always friendly. I was surprised by the negative comments because this place is always packed! Many people in line are regulars and the staff know their orders by heart. The jalapeno bagels are super popular and you need to get there early on Saturdays before they run out. Dont worry, they always have more in the oven but you may have to wait a few minutes. I recommend this place highly. My favorite combo is a primavera sandwhich on a toasted jalapeno bagel. Try it, youll like it. Enjoy!

Every time I crave a toasted bagel stuffed with cream cheese I find myself at House of Bagels not sufficing my craving. They are soooo stingy with the cream cheese it’s somewhat comical. They spread a thin "translucent" amount on each bagel then sandwich them together. They have all the right ingredients however lack on proportions. Does anyone know where to find a NY Style Bagel place in Gilroy? I don’t think one exists :-(

Bought a dozen delicious bagels. From my experience the service was fast and very friendly. Everyone had a smile and was willing to help. Will go back and would recommend to others. I have not yet had a bagel sandwich here so cannot comment on that.

I love this place so much. Its been a favorite of mine for about 10 years now. I cant pass through Gilroy without stopping here for a "The Works" breakfast bagel on wheat bagel. I dont care what time of day it is! I have to have it.

This place is bomb. The bagels are the absolute best and the service is probably the best Ive gotten anywhere. The employees genuinely look happy and are all incredibly friendly and engaging. I love this place

The bagels are awesome, its essentially a mom and pop shop, and their prices are fair for the quality of bagel you get.

Nothing plain about this bagel shop. A must when looking for a new breakfast spot.
