Routinely given real cream cheese - Edit
So I love that Boss Bagel has tofu cream cheese and usually it’s pretty good (though I once had the tofu green onion with huge chunks of raw green onion which was kinda unpleasant tbh). Unfortunately, I have been given dairy cream cheese instead of vegan cream cheese three of my last five visits. When I brought the issue to the attention of the barista on one of these occasions she was rude and unapologetic. I emailed the owner who essentially told me that while she sympathized, I was accepting the risk of getting real cream cheese by patronizing a non-vegan business. I decided to bring my business elsewhere. If you go here and order the tofu cream cheese WATCH them make your bagel.

Vegan cream cheese! - Edit
Great vegan gem. 4 tofu schmears to choose from. Got the menu bagel ‘very Vegan’ as it it has the green onion schmear.

Delicious - Edit
I love getting a bagel in every city I visit. The bagel options are slim in San Antonio, but I really enjoyed Boss Bagel. I got the very vegan, and it was delicious. I wish I had the appetite for another bagel as I'd love to try one of the berry schmears.

Solid breakfast choice - Edit
Huge array of tofu cream cheeses, bagels and other toppings.
Read moreSA isn’t the best place for vegan breakfast options so it’s nice to have boss bagels to help us out!
Also pretty reasonably priced!
I got the rosemary chili bagel with plain tofu cream cheese and strawberry jam.

Review after one visit - Edit
The online ordering is bomb. The Vegan Bagel sandwich was great. Inconsistency with the toasting (but just based on one order). My only gripe is this: I consider the everything bagel with plain cream cheese to be the litmus test, obviously. It was a huge fail. The cream cheese wasnt bad, but everything about the everything was wrong wrong wrong.

The Best Bagels! - Edit
We loved our breakfast here. I had a toasted Everything Bagel with the green onion tofu schmear. Delicious! Looks like 4 of the 5 tofu schmears are vegan. The coffee with oat milk was also very good. They have 3 non dairy milks to choose from. I think it was better than the bagel I waited in line for in NYC. Will definitely be back whenever I am in San Antonio.

Move Over Breakfast Tacos! Bagels Rule! - Edit
Perfectly toasted bagels with roasted veggies and savory tofu -or strawberry tofu schmears with a variety of bagels. YUM! Must have weekly. If Happy Cow would allow me to give 5 stars, I would. PS. The cauliflower bagel is gluten free and delicious!

Cannot get orders right - Edit
I used to visit a lot, however I had to stop visiting after the fourth or fifth time they messed up my order. The vegan tofu schmears share the same name as the nonvegan schmears, so I was frequently given a bagel with real cream cheese. It’s a great breakfast/lunch place, if only they could get their orders right! I’m bummed, but after the stomach aches I’ve endured by eating there, I’m not inclined to go back until they fix their current system. If you do visit, I would double or even triple check that they understand you want the VEGAN schmear. I’d even make someone at the counter do a taste test before you try eating it. Their bagels are great and the vegan schmears are too, but they can’t seem to get their orders right.
