    Walked in and was overwhelmed by the amount of people in here but the service was so fast and friendly regardless! It's 10am and they seem to be running low on bagels which is a good sign. There quite a few guys working behind the counter so it makes sense why the turn over is fast. We ordered the pebble beach and the chorizo bagels which were amazing. Everything ingredient tasted high quality. We also ordered a banana muffin which was moist and perfectly sweet. Definitely want to come back and try other things.

    Chorizo on everything bagel.

    Cool vibes in here, very friendly and helpful staff. They have a pretty simple menu which makes it easy to figure out what you want. Bagels are constantly fresh baked coming hot out of the oven. The chorizo bagel was delicious - chorizo and eggs are fried to order and they top it with fresh slices of avocado high they don't skimp on.

    East Coast Morning & Classic with a black coffee & vanilla latte

    Yummy x1000! These bagels are perfect for brunch and filled with a good amount of ingredients. I don't feel as though they skimped out on anything! You can taste the freshness in every bite! There was a line (it was breakfast time, so of course its going to be busy), but the way staff worked together made the line go quickly. The person taking our order at the counter also made our sandwich, coffee and payment! They all rotated in & out, all hands on deck, loved to see it! Would give 5 stars, but bagels were a little flat, and was a bit pricey (roughly $9 for classic w/o avocado, & roughly $13 for the ECM), BUT, like I mentioned, ingredients tasted fresh. As a Southern California local, when visiting the area again my boyfriend and I will definitely be back!

    Great bagels, lox was incredible, my partner got the classic sausage egg and cheese. Not a long wait either! So happy to have found this spot!

    Bagel with Lox & Green Onion Cream Cheese
    Christina D.

    So so delicious! Absolutely loved the bagel with lox & cream cheese, & cheeseburger with onion rings was well-cooked & flavorful (if you're looking for options outside of just bagels!). Staff was so welcoming & friendly, & bagel selection was plentiful (I went with a standard sesame seed). I would definitely recommend this location if you're in the area!

    Heart Attack on Jalapeño/Cheese Bagel
    Alejandra C.

    My boyfriend & I stopped by here for a quick bite before heading back home & the food was DELISH! I got the Heart Attack on Jalapeño/Cheese Bagel & it was fire 10/10 would come again next time I'm in Monterey

    Original vege sandwich (?)
    Sandip S.

    This is located in the Fairway Shopping center, next to the ACE Hardware. We went there for a Friday lunch in April, 2025. Parking was easy. We ordered three sandwiches. They were ready pretty soon. Each was pretty large and quite tasty. The prices were very reasonable given the area. Service was very good. Overall, we were quite happy with our experience and would go there again.

    we happened upon this bagel shop while walking down to the beach (yes, it's a pretty long walk). I was starving and bagels sounded good. wow-wee was this place fantastic. I just got a cheddar-bacon bagel (toasted) with plain cream cheese and it knocked my socks off! honestly disappointed I didn't get a bagel sammy!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Miguel G.

    Solid breakfast burrito 7/10. Had everything you could want for breakfast inside, the tortilla was just ok. I got it with bacon and it was so fresh. I didn't feel heavy after eating it either. Washed it down with the Vietnamese iced coffee, scrumptious 8.5/10. $19 total. Service was great and they made my food pretty quickly. I decided to stop by this place on a whim and didn't regret it.

    Big Sur sandwich
    Felinn A.

    Tried this place on a whim and was delighted! Tasty sandwiches for about $9-10. It felt hefty and was made right to order. I love the filling of avocado, mushrooms, veggies and eggs. Definitely add some hot sauce from their side counter for more flavor. Very spacious inside and the staff members were also kind. Ordered a dirty chai along with my meal and it was the perfect balance, not too sweet but strong. Only awkward moment was after you order Staff will start making your order right away instead of having you pay first. People started piling up and had to be on the lookout for when it was their turn to pay, instead of being able to sit down and wait for their order. When I'm in the area again I'll gladly order from this spot again!

    Hi, just checking to see if you still offered gluten-free bagels?

    Do you have gluten free bagels?

    Yes we do! We usually keep them stocked in the back so that they don’t accidentally get mixed up in a basket full of regular bagels :)

    Do they boil their bagels before baking?

    Hey Darren! Yes we definitely boil our bagels before baking!

I had the Wild West burger with fries, and let me tell you... even on a slightly overcast day, that burger transported me straight to a sunny summer afternoon at the park.

    The burgers here were good not mind-blowing, but definitely satisfying…read more Starting with the California Burger (7.8/10): it gave me "elevated Whopper with avocado" vibes. The sesame seed bun was soft, produce was fresh, cheese perfectly melted, and the patty was well-seasoned and decently juicy. That said, it needed more sauce and overall juiciness to really push it over the top. A little extra flavor punch would've made a big difference. The Elvis Burger (7.5/10) was similar: solid but not exceptional. It lacked the seasoning and moisture I was hoping for, and once again, more sauce would have helped bring everything together. Nothing bad, just left me wanting a bit more oomph. Now the good stuff, service and ambiance were excellent. Our server was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely seemed happy to be there, which made the whole experience better. The vibe of the place is awesome: retro '80s burger joint feel with fun music, books, games, and lots of greenery (major shoutout to the plants). It's a cool hangout spot with character.Only downside our table was oddly sticky. Come for the chill vibes, solid service, and a good burger. Just don't expect the best burger of your life. Worth checking out if you're in the area!

    You might be wondering, "what are you doing here?" I'm wondering the same thing! If you read my…read moreother reviews, you'll see that I reside in the Central Valley, which is pretty far from Monterey, but not too far. I came for a little vacation from the heat, which is definitely necessary because it gets pretty toasty in the Fresno area. I think it's all the roads and stuff. I wouldn't know, I'm not a scientist. To continue what I was saying, I came to Monterey for a little vacation! Usually I'd go eat at a little spot at a mall called Island Burger, but to my surprise, the place was permanently closed! Can you believe it? I couldn't. Because the Island Burger was closed, I decided to go elsewhere for a burger. I checked online to see what folks were saying about this place, and it seemed like everybody had mostly positive things to say. So I went and ate there! When I walked in I noticed it was one of those spots where you just kinda put in your order and sit down and wait. So that's what I did. I got the spicy burger, but I can't remember the name of it. I also got some onion rings and chicken wings. I'd like to mention that I was with my family so we could share those items. I could theoretically eat all of that myself, but that'd be a bit greedy. The burger was great and it had a good amount of spice. The meat was juicy and nicely seasoned, and the fries were perfectly crispy. The onion rings had a delicious batter, and were fried to perfection. The chicken wings really surprised me! I would go as far as to say that they were on par with, and maybe even better than Wingstop. Overall, the service was great and quick, the food was immaculate, and I would absolutely recommend this spot to anybody who is in the area. The bathrooms are nice too. I forgot to mention that. Good bathrooms are very important.

The inside is dark, quiet, and very clean (3.5/5). The gentleman at the register greeted us and was somewhat informative when asking questions (3.5/5). I ordered the Sur Brighton and my cousin The Classic (not pictured). We both agree the fries were some of the best we have had at a restaurant. They were perfectly crispy and salted (a hard 4.8/5). Her burger was basic, nothing memorable and the lack of a seeded bun was a bit disappointing (3.5/5). The Sur Brighton was FANTASTIC! The fish was so soft and buttery, the batter, like the fries, was fried to absolute perfection! It was so crispy on the outside and it was served with big slices of lemon (4.9/5) and a pretty tasty tartar sauce (3.8/5). Overall, I rate this place a 4/5!

My daughter did like her salmon tartine. My husband ate the meatballs but it wasn't anything special. At some point they got food deliveries and it was unprofessional how they discussed the delivery person. No one asked us how the food was or if we needed anything. Definitely the worst meal and dining experience of our vacation.

The fish and chips is the ultimate meal. The burger was savory, soft and creamy just he right amount. It perfectly paired with the Talbott pinot noir they recommended. The only comment is make is the amount of French fries that were served with the burger. The plate was a lot larger looking because a sparse amount of fries was served alongside. Maybe add a little more next time just to balance it off. The servers/bartenders knew their stuff. They provided what they could in terms of what was popular and well liked. They said both items we ordered were the most popular. The fish and chips have won best fish and chips 3 years in a row. I would agree with this since I usually am not wowed with this dish. I couldn't resist ordering a dessert. The applied tart with vanilla ice cream was so satisfying. Overall service, food quality and experience was very good.
