So I actually didnt try this place for the better part of a year because I thought it had a ridiculous name and was probably another lame bagel/sandwich/salad spot. But turns out its a super solid spot for breakfast and bagel sandwiches, and the husband and I go there almost every weekend. A really pleasant surprise was their crepes, which I really like, and Im not usually a crepe person (not into the feels-like-Im-eating-a-very-thin-rubbery-omelet experience, I guess)...theirs are perfectly crisp, fragrant, never rubbery. I recommend the vegetarian, the classic ham-and-cheese, and the Nutella-strawberry crepes. My toddler also likes the one with scrambled egg and cheddar. Im going to be slightly east-cost elitist on their bagels...theyre perfectly nice, but not quite right (they have that slightly brittle quality to the crust). That said, I think they make very nice bagel sandwiches. I recommend the BLT and any of their breakfast sandwiches. Other recommendations: the yogurt parfait (plain Greek yogurt, berries, granola), the Black Magic smoothie (a berry smoothie...we get it without banana), and the cinnamon twist (one of the pastries). Im also a fan of whoever makes their dill pickles. The service is always great, very fast, and really consistent on the food prep/cooking.

This is really a 3.5, but what the hey, I come here almost every weekend. I have to say, it took a while to acquire the taste. My boyfriend really enjoys bagel eggwich sandwiches, so he takes me here. The bagels are standard-tasting to me and not that great, but it does the job. What Ill give a much higher rating for is not what they are known for... their non-bagel options! Their dutch crunch bread is super flaky/buttery and if you get their turkey avocado melt on dutch crunch, it is heaven. Just dont expect it to be easy on your hips. Also, the girls that work here are super nice. Im not sure what other posters meant...

I ordered the salmon lox plain bagel sandwich on 05/16/2013, I didnt think about it being rush time because I was enjoying the beautiful day. Except my sandwich, it was so rushed the ingredients where not even atop each other. the salmon sat next to the cucumber stack, beside the sprouts, and on the last quarter of the bagel was the cream cheese. I realized this after a couple bites and was able to rearrange the tasty ingredients. But next time I spend $8.42 Ill go to a place that knows how to make a sandwich.

I actually dont go here for the bagels, although they are quite good, especially the well-priced bagel sandwiches. Im a huge fan of their crepes: theyve got breakfast, lunch, and - the best of all - dessert crepes, and theyre reasonably priced as far as crepes go (about $5-$8 if my memory is correct...). Also, their smoothies are great and really cheap ($2.50 for a small I think) and they make non-dairy smoothies which is really great for the lactose-challenged among us :)

Best bagel place compared to other places. The bagels and croissants here are much bigger in size compared to the other bagel shops. They also serve crepes. Their fresh squeezed orange juice is a must have. Since it is on the Castro Street, you might find street side parking nearby to this place if lucky.

I love their crepes/bagles/etc but I noticed that the employees wear gloves... they use the gloved hands to prepare food, clean counter, move furnitures, broom floor, etc. the same plastic glove touches cabinets, rags, places I didnt like so much, and my food. Hope that changes so I can go again.

This review serves to describe the experience of the Rats. The Rats is a fellow who lives in Los Altos and cares very much for the bagels that are served at the Posh bagels. However, he feels that the eggwhich with sausage over the eggwhich with bacon, therefore his opinion is useless.

Upscale but family friendly cafe in the Mountain View business/financial district. Best place in the area to find “New York” bagels. The whole wheat bagel enriched with grains and seeds is particularly satisfying. Coffee is also very good.

Used to be out go-to weekend breakfast place, but the menu got repetitive and we found a few more appealing places (Hobees in particular). Posh, though, very much remained my go-to place for a morning bagel pick-up for my staff.

Really good selection of bagels, fairly priced. There are about 6 different drip coffees available too. The blueberry bagel is very interesting, and they have so many different types of cream cheese to try on it!

Good breakfast spot with reasonable prices and good quality food. Service is pretty quick and convenient for a quick morning meal. I would definitely try their nutella and strawberry crepe when you go.

I grew up on the East Coast, and I gotta say, these just arent bagels to me. Soft and squishy. They dont even have onion or salt on the everythings. Very disappointing. Passable crepes, though.

I would call this place good enough. Nothing there will blow you away but everything I had was good. It tends to be busy on the weekends but they are prompt to get your order out.

Really nothing wrong with this place, assuming youre OK with too-large california-style bagels. At least the line moves fast, and its a good choice to get a sandwich for lunch.

Pretty inferior to a real bagel from NYC and toppings are average but it works in a pinch. At least you can get an everything bagel with lox even though it is mediocre.

Bagels are ok. Sandwich options are very good. Make sure they dont microwave your bagel if you get an egg sandwich... it ruins the bagel and makes it a rubbery disaster.

This has been our spot for good breakfast food for over 6years. The best part is their selection of bagels, crepes and fresh orange juice. It never dissapoints.

The staff here are very rude, and hygiene is bad. Why wear plastic gloves to make food if you wear the same gloves for taking money and cleaning tables?

Here is where I learned to love bagels, after a few failed attempts elsewhere. The products are always fresh, delicious, and the staff is friendly.

I really love this place, and come here more weeks than not. My favorite is a turkey club on a pesto bagel, finished with a cinnamon sugar crepe.

Good bagels and surprisingly great crepes! Better than crepevine down the street. I recommend the veggie crepe with turkey added - delicious!

Decent bagels and decent crepes make this a fairly solid breakfast or lunch option if youre in the area. Right next to Bank of America.

Place was dirty, trash everywhere on the floor, tables, cans overfull, no knapkins, breakfast crepes were bland and tasteless.

The personnel is very friendly. So if you see some strange customers. Think not know what a bagel.

I like the location of this. Good selection and quality. There is a nice outdoor space to relax under an umbrella.

Somehow, theyre bagels seem more fresh than the other Posh I used to go to. Try the Crepes... Theyre delicious!

Yummy crepes, bagels and smoothies. The chicken salad crepes is delicious and so is the triple berry smoothie.

Posh Bagel does delicious bagels and crepes, you just need to get lucky to find a place to sit outside.
