Katz Bagels on 16th Street in San Francisco is closing after 27 years, according to Mission Local. Its last day of business will be March 24.

“While recent times have been challenging, we can only be grateful for all the support we have received through the years,” says a note in the storefront announcing the closure.

Before the recent artisanal bagel boom, Katz was known as a place where one could get a good bagel. It was opened by Burt Katz, and is now run by his son, Michael.

“Thank you to San Francisco in the 1990s for being such a great place for small business. We were really lucky to be here,” the note said.

Katz Bagels was temporarily closed by the San Francisco Health Department in July of 2019 due to a rat infestation.
