Vibe: 7/8 (it's more like get your bagel n chill) great place to work if you need to tho. Pretty quiet. Food Presentation: 15/10 My lox bagel was so pretty! Food: 15/10 Service: 10/10 This place was recommended by my hair salon because it's in walking distance in the downtown Upland area and it was nice that they had a really great variety of coffee and breakfast lunch items I went with the lox bagel. The presentation is so pretty. It was almost too pretty to eat. They also had a Teddy gram latte that was seasonal. That is simply amazing. I got it iced highly recommend. read more

My husband and I were looking for a new bagel spot on a Sunday morning and decided to try this place since it recently opened. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, which was nice. The menu was a little difficult to read because it had a reflective, almost mirror-like finish, so you could see your reflection while trying to look at it. The staff was great though and answered all of our questions about the drinks. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk--the color and taste were both really good. My husband got a flat white and was very happy with it. For food, I stepped a bit out of my comfort zone and got the caprese sandwich with added bacon for some protein. It was good, but I think I'd try something different next time. My husband got an eggwich with sausage, which was really yummy. We also tried a spinach, kale, and feta danish. It was a little on the cheesy side, but still delicious. I would order this again. Overall, the service was friendly, the drinks were very good, and the food was solid. The ambiance was comfortable with plenty of seating. We would definitely come back! read more

This business recently opened, and I think may be working out some kinks still but overall it was a good experience. The Sunflower Latte was good, and The Lox was truly delicious. Would definitely order that again. The other bagel pictured is the everything bagel with garlic herb spread and was tasty. Plenty of seating and an attached outdoor patio which is nice. I loved all of the live plants. I wish staff had been a little friendlier, but also understand that it's stressful opening a new shop and getting used to the flow. Glad to have this business in Upland and will definitely try it again. read more

Stopped by 42nd Coffee and Bagel recently to check it out. It was pretty busy when I arrived, which is usually a good sign. Service was okay -- nothing particularly memorable, but things moved along. I ordered the Cali Bagel and an Americano. Both were just alright. The bagel was decent but not something I'd personally order again, and the Americano was a bit on the mediocre side for my taste. Some good tunes would liven up the atmosphere and add some extra vibes. Not bad, just not standout. One thing this place definitely has going for it is the location. It's right next to the Metrolink station, which makes it a convenient stop for commuters or anyone looking to grab a quick coffee, bagel, or wrap before catching the train. Overall, I'm giving it 3 stars. It's not a bad stop if you're nearby or commuting, but it didn't leave enough of an impression for me to go out of my way to return. read more

Wanted to try this new bagel place for awhile. They didn't disappoint at all. Greeted upon entering. Nice big menu with different sandwiches and coffee drinks. Bagel bins were all stocked and labeled. Ordered The Lox on an Everything bagel with no tomato along with a Cold Brew. Cold Brew was perfect. Ice cold and a really smooth flavor. The Bagel was toasted well. Full of lox pickled onions capers and just the right amount of cream cheese. Presentation was beautiful. Definitely a new place to enjoy for bagels and Cold Brew. Music was chill and experience was really good. read more

The service was incredible! They happily answered all my questions about safe food allergy practices. I was a little concerned about the bear claws that had almonds on them being above the bagels so they offered to bake a new one fresh. Only took 12 minutes! Makes such a difference to feel cared for and not like a burden. I also ordered a jalapeño egg sandwich with avocado and bacon for my hubs which was incredibly stuffed with ingredients and flavor. The bagels were tender, chewy, and still warm. Check this place out! I plan to try the coffee next time I come. read more

Still deciding. Arrived at 11am. It was disappointing to wait in line, get all the way to the register, order two pastry items, only to watch both of them be pulled for a mobile order while I was ordering. Cashier looks to their left, "Who are those for?" Then told, sorry, they just sold out. So I figured I'd go for the "Turkey Bagel Sandwich", again, "No Turkey, sorry." The front counter and kitchen/back-of-house need better communication regarding inventory and low-stock items so customers know what's actually available before placing their orders. Being told something is unavailable only after you've already ordered and reached the register makes for a frustrating experience. Better communication and real-time inventory updates would create a much smoother customer experience. There should also be a somewhat steady amount of "back stock" or "timing" on these pastries as they begin to get low on inventory. Need to find the average on how many of these pastries are sold so they know how much to make for the day. Top it all off, I got my substitute pastries, bagel I ordered, missing had to go back to the counter and have them pull my order up to see I was missing a plain bagel. The Bagels and Pastries I ordered were good. Staff communication is key. read more

The Lox bagel is a work of culinary art: it's extremely delicious and beautiful too! Today I ordered a Lavender latte. I often order lavender lattes at coffee shops, but this is the best one I've had in my recent memory. So yummy! It's so nice to have 42nd Street Bagel back in Upland! The downtown location, right me next to the train tracks is turning in to a favorite breakfast spot for us. read more

Such a great little bagel spot! we'll definitely be back! The food was the highlight of our visit. I had an egg sandwich with jalapeño cream cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. The cream cheese had just the right kick without overpowering the sandwich. We also all tried the chicken club with avocado spread, and that was just as good, fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced, and super satisfying. The coffee was the only thing that didn't fully stand out. We ordered espresso drinks, and while they weren't bad, they were a bit on the bland side. A little extra milk and sugar helped bring it together, though. What really made the experience even better was how clean everything was and how carefully our food was prepared. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Overall, a great spot for fresh, tasty sandwiches in a welcoming environment! read more

I will expect some smile from staffs, but 8 AM in the morning. I totally understand that. So let's be appreciate people who made the breakfast Got the cold brew and the Lox with onion cheese bagel. The coffee is kind of strong for me, and the bagel is good. I love the sweet from red onion combined with cream cheese, salmon. Also, I like they give a piece of lemon which can add extra favor. I would say I am really satisfied at food. Why I gave four stars but five. The reason may kind of personal because I would like people wear a glove to prepare the food since it open kitchen (kind of) and I can see that . Nothing wrong with the taste, just don't like someone keep touching with bare hand and those foods are raw. Updated: they wear gloves now. They got the last star. read more

I try not to post negative reviews but the food was below subpar. Recently the bagel recipe must have changed. Not chewy NY style- more like Vons bread style. Cream cheese was thinned out and had crumbs from something mixed in. They served us 2 burned toasted bagels. I guess I'll be looking elsewhere. read more

Good bagels at a reasonable price. Everything bagel is extra salty with lots of stuff on it. Good coffee too. Friendly service and fast.

I really wanted to support a local business but unfortunately this visit did not go well. We entered to a woman on the phone not able to take our order. While waiting to order two gentalman were behind her. Finally, I nice man came ant took our order. My husband enjoyed is plain bagel with nothing on it. The cinnamon bun was ok nothing worth reordering. After a bit of a wait my sandwich finally came out. The everything bagel was too salty and it had a very small amount of tuna that was dry. Ultimately it food was not horrible but I could not say I would recommend this place. read more

I got the Lox bagel and my brother got the Cali dream bagel (added bacon), they were both so delicious! I prefer this location opposed to the one in Claremont due to the foot traffic, this one wasn't overwhelming packed. So nice to see it right at the train station. I also got a teddy graham latte and my brother got the matcha latte, they were both perfect in flavor! The matcha was legit and lightly sweetened, my coffee was the perfect shade of brown! 100/10 would highly recommend and will be coming back after every hike I take read more

Glad they're back in Upland after a long hiatus. Smart location for people using Metrolink too. Food is fresh and presentation is great. Be mindful of the olive oil on the lox and bagel as if it sits a short while it'll make the bagel soggy. read more

The food is great! I've come a few times the jalapeño bagels so far are my favorite. The workers are friendly but always so overwhelmed. The manager or owner I think is alittle unprofessional. She saw her lobby had a line and started yelling at the workers, instead it would have been nice to see her go wash her hands and start helping her staff. Looked tacky on her part. The location is nice. It's smack next to the train station. read more

Just had the best everything bagel I've ever had!!!! Much better than other bagel shops..... friendly staff, quick service.... highly recommended!!! read more

The bagels were pretty yummy, we went a little later in the day and the bagel options were pretty limited. I got the caprese bagel which was really good and filling and my friend got the lox bagel which we also recommend! We got 2 iced lattes and they were both just okay. The service was okay, the staff seemed friendly and our food came out relatively fast. read more

Great bagel, great service! Super cute cafe in the perfect location. I like to visit on the weekends.

My wife loves the claremont location. We were excited for this opening. We went in to one giant dud. The place looks nice. It was 10am and they were completely out of plain bagels. Their menu is different than Claremonts. The girl helping us was very nice. We figured out together how to get my wife's favorite sandwich from Claremont . They then hit us with the big zinger! No plain bagels. We walked out with our tail between our legs. So our first visit was our last visit. Wish you were like your sister location. its not that far. We will make the trip. read more

Always trying local businesses is very disappointed order a bagel sandwich and also a bagel with cream cheese served hot. Unfortunately they were out of coffee by the time it was made both bagels were cold. Flavor was OK. All the workers were super friendly. No complaint only on the service coffee should always be ready and customer not have to wait or at least get their food And coffee hot at the same time. I will not be going back Business. Good luck might change some things and make it better for the future customers.. read more

Great new spot by the metro-link. This location is perfect for travelers on the train, which is much needed. The bagels and coffee were great my favorite was the honey bagel. Staff were friendly and helpful. This is a great addition to downtown upland. read more

My first time here and it was a good experience. I had the Jalapeño Cheese bagel toasted and it was very good. Service was good too. Will definitely be back. read more

Grossed out. I was excited to see this location open since we have previously visited the Claremont location (a bit pricey but reliably good). Yesterday we visited around 9am and it was very busy but it doesn't appear that their system is totally up and running yet. Took over 30 mins for two bagels, meanwhile the staff is squeezing past each other, making coffee orders that have already been served, it's messy. I noticed an older woman helping make orders and while everyone else had gloves on, she had our bagel in the palm of her bare hand. Then she proceeded to wipe the excess spread off the bagel with a used, stained, wet towel laying by the sink before handing it to me. She used this same towel to rub her hands on before proceeding with the next order. Not one to send food back, but I couldn't accept this. The (gloved) gentleman behind the counter was kind enough to give me a new bagel with the spread to do myself. That was GROSS! Please train your staff on proper hand hygiene before someone gets sick. read more

I was in the area and looking for a quick breakfast but this spot didn't deliver. I paid $10.50 for a bagel and a chai tea... both were pretty underwhelming in terms of flavor and quality. To make matters worse, I was surprised to find out that butter cost an extra $1! Overall, not the experience I was hoping for. It's getting 3 stars because of the customer service and aesthetic of the shop. read more

I don't always leave reviews, but I've been a fan of 42nd Street Bagel since the 90s and really want this location to thrive. A few issues with my visit today: I ordered the lox on an everything bagel. It was the last everything bagel, and I watched the cashier pass it to the employee making the food. About 10 minutes later they called my name and told me I needed to choose another bagel because they had given mine to someone else. I also made the mistake of not checking my order before leaving. When I got to work, I realized they didn't use the chive cream cheese and they forgot the capers. I also noticed they were out of cheese bagels and, clearly, everything bagels. Hopefully they'll be able to adjust their batches so more people can enjoy those. Another small observation: there is currently a supply shelf out in the restaurant area. I'm guessing this will eventually be relocated once everything is fully set up. Overall, the staff was very friendly and the location couldn't be more convenient. Looking forward to coming back and trying something else. I'm also hoping the tuna salad from the Claremont location is the same recipe! read more

I was so excited to hear they opened another 42nd street bagel not far from my work. I have been eating at the Claremont location for years and needless to say this location didnt disappoint either. The loc on a sesame seed bagel is the best. I love they have a on option for everyone and love how fresh everything always is. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Went twice already, both times was just ok, nothing fancy coffee was decent. Some good music can help the place out and also, more ventilation, once you are inside you suffocate with the smells of toasting bagels/burnt smoke. read more

I was looking forward to this new location and wasn't disappointed. I had the Lox bagel and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. Great location as well. I will be going back and letting my friends know about this place. Great stop on my way to work! read more

Bagel is good, but I wanted it with cream cheese and they put it on there. I wanna put it on myself. Need to have those separate little containers that we can put it on ourselves. If I come back and eat there, I will bring my own cream cheese. Oh, no decaf:herbal teas.They should give you a napkin w your order. Oh, just a suggestion - by the stairs in front why not put a sign showing handicap is around the corner. read more

We visited on a Sunday morning around 10am there was a line but it was moving. There's places to sit inside or outside. Staff were nice and accommodating and bagels were fresh. We took 1/2 doz home and I had the pizza bagel with garlic herb and my husband had the everything bagel with tomatoes. They are light with the cream cheese and the bagels are a bit on the smaller side but very fresh. Overall, it was a good choice. read more

How do these bagels have no flavor? And also why are they waiting to bag the bagels until someone has ordered at the checkout? Most places bag things up then go to the checkout. This checkout system is extremely inefficient, and the length of the line shows it. read more

Absolutely delicious, my new go to spot. Went in on my way to work bagels were hot out of the over. My latte was made perfectly and match well with my bagel. read more

I stopped by this new bagel shop recently, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I have always gone to the Claremont location before and was excited that they open this one. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, with the kind of energy that makes you want to stay awhile. The bagels themselves are outstanding--perfectly crisp on the outside and soft, chewy on the inside. You can tell they're made fresh, and the flavor really stands out even before adding any toppings. I tried a classic with cream cheese as well as one of their specialty sandwiches, and both were delicious and generously portioned. The spreads are rich and flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything is assembled with care. The staff were also friendly, patient which made the experience even better. This location is in a great spot and should thrive. If you're a bagel lover or just looking for a great breakfast or lunch spot, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll be coming back often and telling all my friends to go check this place out. read more

No one knows what they are doing at this location. Limited menu and when I asked for something that was on the menu no one knew if they actually sold it and had to ask every employee that was working if they had it. Maybe putting a sign somewhere that says what you have in stock would be helpful, or cover it on your menu if you are out. The vibe of the place is nothing like the Claremont restaurant, but I do know the owners of the Claremont 42nd bagel is not involved in this one. I just hope this franchise does not tarnish the reputation of that location. I don't think I'll be back. The food was unsatisfactory and not worth the price in my opinion read more

The bagels here are just to die for!! Food, service coffee and vibe are a perfect addition to downtown Upland!
