Daily Driver

This bagel and coffee shop is one of my favourite cafes in SF. I like it so much that it's part of my weekly routine to go there every saturday. The everything bagel with cream cheese is the best thing on the menu in my opinion.

One of the best bagels I've ever tried 🥯👍
Warm and crunch 🤤

I ordered a tuna melt on everything and my mind was blown. Im always searching for the perfect tuna melt. It’s the first the I order at a new restaurant. I can’t praise the restaurant and team enough for their work. I plan to become a regular here after this meal.

I work in the neighborhood and was recommended to check this place out by a few customers. I was really excited to try it out. I walked in 30 mins before closing, luckily there wasn't a line. There was one person on one register and two people talking in front of the other one. I know they saw me walk in, they didn't say hi, even as I waited in front of them. Ordered the lox on everything bagel. It was okay. Yes, it was expensive, I guess they pay everyone well, which is amazing and I am lucky enough to experience that. I just can't help but think about the product cost vs. profit+tips if they pay them so well, but that's just how I think. Anyway, I like the idea with the sea salt on the bagel, but I didn't like getting crystals of it, it just reminded me of a pretzel. I actually didn't even notice that it wasn't toasted and didn't mind that. Glad I stopped by, most likely not coming back. If I'm going to pay $16 for a bagel I might as well get a hello.

Awesome bagels.

Grew up on Long Island and these are on par with many of the bagel spots I frequented back then.

Fresh bagels never need to be toasted and everyone hating on Daily Driver because they don't toast their bagels is just flat out wrong.

Beautiful space but I bought several bagels and salmon cream cheese. I found the bagel exterior to dry-crusty for my liking and missed a more chewy inside. Also given the price I’m not so sure I’ll buy again.

The bagels have a good texture: chewy with a crunchy exterior. The produce on these bagels (order at an extra cost) is delicious - the tomatoes taste like they were just picked out of your garden. While the cost of the bagel initially is expensive ($3.50), the additional produce and toppings seem like a good relative value (50 cents each)- making a bagel sandwich approximately $5. The cream cheese is distinctive , but tastes more like goat cheese than traditional cream cheese. The service staff can use improvement in organization and efficiency, Ie only 1 person working as cashier on Sunday morning while a total of 8 people are working - half of whom are standing looking into space. One Saturday at Noah’s would teach them how to hustle. Ambience is industrial modern , light and airy, clean, but notable for loud acoustics. However, it is enjoyable to have plenty of space to spread out even on a weekend morning . Tea is average ; coffee is good and I think roasted on site . Full array of non-dairy milks available . If you want to detox from your fat and carb load, a charcoal latte Is also available . Overall , would probably return but not a value option or a quick bite.

Good bagels but slow service also some cross traffic where you have to go to one side of the counter for food and other side for coffee people burping into you who are ordering. The “too go line is just unhelpful they could take orders from the regular folks if there are no “to go “ orders. So far the food is really good just got some service kinks but that’s typical in the BayArea

Great sandwiches, however the coffee is always “warm” never hot. Mocha’s, Lattes, Etc are always just warm.

These bagels are DELICIOUS! The bagels are perfectly cooked (fermented, boiled, and wood fired organic!), seasoned (love the everything and sesame), and topped with all the classic NYC toppings.

They also have some seriously good alternative options like quark (think slightly cheese yogurt — super tangy and delicious), cheese (from their own farmstead creamery in West Marin! Truly worth taking some home.), and breakfast bowl items.

Also, I am seriously picky and obsessive when it comes to coffee, and Red Bay is absolutely FANTASTIC! They’re a very well regarded roaster out of Oakland (Sprudge award and more!) and their coffee is truly delicious.

Daily Driver is perfect for coffee, food, hanging out, WFH days, solo or with friends — definitely a spot worth coming to over and over again! I know I’ll be stopping by every time I’m in SF (and that’s coming from an NYC local).
