Yummy bagels! I stopped by Bagel Tyme with some friends on a weekend morning. If I could describe this place in one word it would be "BUSY." The line to order was wrapped around inside the shop and out the door. I would say the bagels are 100% worth the wait though. They offer a wide variety of fresh bagels, cream cheeses, and toppings. They even have a sandwich menu! I ordered the Beesting Bagel Sandwich which comes on your choice of bagel with egg, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and a hot honey drizzle. It was absolutely delicious! The bagels were super soft with a nice crust on the outside. The cream cheese was perfectly thick and creamy. The hot honey drizzle really tied everything together well! Because it was so busy, it did take a while to receive our food. The line to order, although long, did go by pretty quickly. There were some tables inside but it was too crowded to find a spot. Luckily we were able to find a table outside while we waited for our orders. Whenever an order was ready, the workers walked around both inside and outside shouting the name of the order which made it convenient for us to not have to fight the crowd to the counter. The only issue I felt there was was the cleanliness. When you are standing inside, you can quite literally see years of caked on dirt on some of the not frequently touched surfaces. The lamps probably had an inch of dust built up. Although this isn't the most important detail, it still makes me question the cleanliness of the whole establishment. Despite this, I won't be held back from revisiting if I am in the area again! read more

They messed up my order, added cream cheese when I had specifically asked for no cream cheese. I brought it back and they made me a new one, but accidentally charged me for it. They also missed on my son's order, he ordered two bagels and only got one, so he had to go back and order the second one again. The bagels themselves were good, and the place has a nice independent vibe. I wanted to like it, and would go back, just wish they would listen better. read more

Long time resident, this place use to be my go to but it has gone DOWNHILL. From wrong orders to even longer wait times. I am no expert but should it really take 30 minutes for a bagel? I guess I am better off buying bagels from the store. So sad when local establishments go down hill. read more

Waited 40 minutes for a plain bagel with cream cheese. They didn't even start working on my coffee within the whole time I was there waiting. I ended up getting a refund for my coffee. Seriously so disappointed. To make things worse my bagel was cold, hard, and not best. First and last time here! Save yourself the headache and just go get a bagel from Panera. read more

This place is sooooo good. Everytime I come to Merced I try to get here for breakfast. Today I had the bagel sandwich on an everything bagel with bacon, an egg, and garlic and herb cream cheese. The bagels are so soft but perfectly crunchy when toasted, and the flavor of the garlic and herb cream cheese is insanely good. I was also very impressed with the flavor and crispness of the bacon while not being greasy. They also gave my dog a pup cup with a piece of bacon in it. Great breakfast place! read more

Love this place, my wife I have been coming here since we were j dating in college 30 years ago. Might go to is the chicken salad on a plain bagel with provolone cheese. Everyone behind the counter is always very pleasant even though it's hectic in there sometimes. read more

Been coming here for 7 years and not until recently I doubt I will be back. Back to back times we've waited over half an hour for a simple coffee. In the mean time numerous people who arrived after us leave with their drinks. Luckily we were able to get a refund but we've been coming too long to be treated as such. read more

I absolutely love this place, been going here for years! Their cinnamon sugar bagels are perfect especially with their cinnamon cream cheese! All of their flavored cream cheeses are packed with flavor and never disappoint. I've only tried a few other bagel flavors they have but all delicious. Highly recommend coming here!! All of the staff are always nice and fast! read more

OMG! SHALOM! But I am not HEBREW or JEWISH, just a peaceful foodie who loves it here and whose family has gone here for ages! Why? Because it's just good! ¡YUM! TOASTY, CRUNCHY! and sometimes SPICY! Also one time just one time I could have swore I saw the most beautiful people in the world there. But that's always within the eye of the beholder know? Ahhh! I'm talking more to myself then reviewing but go try! Please Rob Reiner would say it's the best for a MEAT sammy for later. Good cheese too! Service always exquisite! read more

Jalapeño bagel was nothing special. Had hard chunks of what im assuming is the jalapeño, but overall not enjoyable. Bagel was a little small. Maybe it was too simple but I've been to places where the bagel sandwiches had more to expect. And my second bagel was cold and hard. Not the best bagels out there. read more

I am so disappointed in this place. I love this place as a whole. It's been a while since we have gotten any since my last interaction with them. Not only was this bagel prepared so sloppy to the point where the cuts whereby even lined up with one another once opened, and fixing it just made everything 100x worse. everything fell out of the bagel making it disgustingly messy to eat and inevitably making it impossible to eat without everything coming out and making an even bigger mess. Not to mention that my bagel wasn't even toasted which allowed everything to just slide right off. I am very disappointed in my experience as it keeps getting worse everytime I go back and they barely take any accountability especially since last time they just hung up on me when I called back to complain. read more

Bagel Tyme - Blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese that has been prepared so badly that I can't even hold it let alone eat it - Bagels Near Me - Merced, California

Staff here are friendly- the bagels are terrible. Not real bagels and they're priced like they are, you're better off going to Panera bread for this type of bagel. When you're paying upwards of $12 for a bagel sandwich the bagel shouldn't be stale read more

I haven't been here in years and I was so excited to come have a bagel. They were ok. However, what I saw after I was done eating, one of the staff doing her hair, picking her teeth and then picking her ear. She then pulled a warmed bagel from the back without washing her hands or putting gloves on and set it down for another girl. I'm very disappointed and grossed out over what I saw. Most likely will not go back. Bagel Tyme, 2/2/26 at 8:20am, please train staff to wash hands before handling food. read more

I do like Bagel Tyme. I like how fresh the ingredients are, I love the variety of options they have, I like that you can call ahead to place your order. I don't love that they sometimes take a long time to answer but I do understand it might be because they are busy. However, sometimes they will answer and put you on hold until they hang up on you. They do run out of specific bagels sometimes pretty early, and it's more than just the popular bagels. At times they have like 2 options +the plain bagel, maybe 3 hours before close. Seems like they should make more of the popular ones, especially on weekends. As mentioned before, the bagels do have fresh ingredients and they are pretty good but the bagels themselves although fresh they are not the best tasting. They lack a bit of flavor and all have the same "sour" dough flavor no matter which one you get. If you like a pickle on the side with your sandwich, remember to ask for it because it doesn't come with one and I think it should be automatic. Aside from a variety of bagels, they do also have a variety of drinks like coffee and smoothies even bottled drinks as well as pastries. I have yet to try any of that. But I will update once I have. I do love that they sell their flavored cream cheese but it is a bit pricey for what you get and tbh it's not great. The seating is very limited as the place is pretty small so it gets crowded just to walk to a seat. My advice to you is get there early to have the most option and ensure you'll get the bagel you want oh and seating of course. read more

Bagel Tyme - Blueberry bagel with regular cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Merced, California

The bagels are good. Yes. The management and the disfunction of the entire operation is absolutely horrible. Prioritizing catering orders over in-person orders and then running out of bagels for in-person even after the bagels have been ordered is just bad practice. Even after they made sure the bagels were available, they still prioritized random large catering phone orders over those that have placed in-person orders and they magically ran out of bagels to satisfy a larger order by phone. Wait time 1 hour to throw a couple of unsliced, untoasted bagels into a bag and then disrespecting longtime customers of over a decade long (not even caring about loyalty) is just a bad business model. After a 1 hour wait. Left without bagels. My advice is to avoid until they get better processes down. I can get everything bagels at save mart or Raley's. They are just bagels. read more

stopped in on my way from Stockton back to Bakersfield. So glad I did. This place is awesome. truly one of the most flavorful bagels I have ever had. Good drip coffee as well. The gals behind the counter were hard working and super sweet. Stop by for a bagel and coffee, you won't be disappointed. read more

Called to place a business order they answered put on hold for 11minutes and then called was hanged up when I try to call back right after call said was on hold . Customer service really needs to improve . read more

Bagel Tyme - Customer service not so great - Bagels Near Me - Merced, California

They have good bagels and a variety of bagel flavors and cream cheese flavors (though nothing really unexpected or different). Prices are decent for basic things, a little bit on the expensive side for lunch sandwiches. It's a very small space so during busy times I wouldn't count on actually finding a seat to eat in. I was a little disappointed that I had to wait 20 minutes for my breakfast sandwich, they seem to move a little slow at times even when the place isn't busy. I don't go here often, but next time I do I'm going to give myself extra extra time. read more

Needed to stop for breakfast during a long drive and I came across this page on Yelp. Perfect for something filling on the go but not too much to put you in a food coma! They have lots of bagel options, and bagel breakfast sandwiches. I picked a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and it was perfectly toasted. It wasn't too overloaded with cream cheese, and I loved the fresh strawberry flavor! The place was packed inside and outside for a Thursday morning so it must be very popular, but our bagels came out pretty quick! read more

The bagels are good, especially the sandwich options. Coffee, smoothies, and lattes are good as well. The shop is small and quaint, there might not be enough room for you to sit if it's busy. The customer service is decent at best. With the price, offerings, and customer service all taken into consideration, I would probably go elsewhere. read more

Im not sure if these are real bagels but whatever they are they are GOOD. I get one every Saturday. They look like a bagel, the texture is a little more dense than your traditional bagel, but they are always fresh and have at least 20 flavors. Be prepared to wait at least 20-30minutes. They need a better system. I don't understand why it takes so long, but they are worth it. read more

Went here because we just finished a massage at Blossom Spa next door. People were kinda friendly and they looked well staffed. Had a Peach smoothie and Hot chick. Husband had Eleanor. Pretty good bagel! read more

Best bagels in town! Girls are always friendly! Such a great location and newly remodeled inside and such a great vibe

The wait time was 45 minutes for 2 bagels and a coffee. Definitely longer than expected but considering how busy they get, it's completely understandable. Despite being very busy, the employees were still patient and their customer service was great. The bagels themselves were a little bit too hard and bland for my personal liking! However, they have very good coffee here and I recommend trying the iced vanilla latte. read more

Bagel Tyme - bacon egg and cheese on a blueberry bagel - Bagels Near Me - Merced, California

I love Bagel Tyme. There's a reason there's always a line--if you're looking for a simple, great breakfast, this is the place. The prices are reasonable, and their coffee drinks are really good and also priced well. The vibe feels like you're in a big city, which adds to the charm. Definitely worth the wait! read more

I waited 20 minutes for a bagel and small coffee. It wasn't very busy- there was only one person ahead of me at the time. The workers seemed uninterested in trying to complete the orders in a timely manner and were often occupied in their side conversations. When they did call my name the order was incomplete and they had to be told what they had to make, despite writing it down earlier. read more

Love Bagel Tyme! They offer quite a few customizations to your bagel including type of bagel, type of cheese, if you want a breakfast bagel, etc. You order at the front, pay, then wait for for your bagel to come out. I ordered a bagel and coffee which is a cheap deal! They have some sort of house made coffee and the normal creamers on the right side of the store. It took them a bit of time to make the bagels as I assume there was a long line of people waiting for their bagel. We ordered a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and I ordered a garlic or onion bagel breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and sausage. I really liked my bagel as it was savory and everything worked together really well. No complains on the egg or the sausage. I thought my girlfriend's bagel was really sweet so not for me. Would eat a savory bagel again! Coffee is just run of the mill coffee. Large parking lot but small interior. It's quite loud inside so maybe not the best place to get some work done. read more

The great- the food is great. The staff is kind, polite and hard working! The horrible- The wait. I get it. They are rightfully busy. The line goes out the door. No problem- I'll order it for pick up because I'm in a hurry. Except when you get there you have to wait in the same line just to pick up. I wanted to just leave but I didn't want to stuff a small business with an order that wasn't paid. It's so easy to set up an online ordering and payment system where people can place orders and pay with a designated pick up area. I was told my order would be ready in 10mins. I'm sure it was. But it does no good when you have to wait in line 25 mins to be handed cold food. Please consider modifying this practice. It might help your lines and bottom line. And please keep making wonderful food read more

Exceptional service every time. The food is always amazing. I get a bagel sandwich almost every time I go paired with an iced coffee. Today I got the bee sting on garlic bagel and an iced carmellato. It's also a cute little place to eat and enjoy. read more

Bagel Tyme - Bee sting bagel sandwich with Carmellatto iced coffee. - Bagels Near Me - Merced, California

Bagels are good, I prefer the bread less sausage buns either an egg and cheese in the middle.

Been coming here for 20+ years? Foods always been a winner. But, as much as the girls behind counter try, running around back there, advice has always been absolutely HORRIBLE.. Really wish Dennis and family would either re-model, or re-locate, upgrade their phone so you can call in instead waiting an hour +,. Just doesn't make sense, really punching he "loyal" followers read more

My bagel was gross. I got a breakfast bagel (egg, bacon, american cheese) and all the ingredients (except for the bagel bread itself) came room temperature. The bagel was thin and miserable, although I will say the only thing that could maybe make up for this waste of $7 is the toasted bagel, which was actually warm and tasted fresh and pretty good. Anyway, do NOT get a breakfast bagel from here. My friend got an egg salad bagel and it was alright. (In her opinion). She says you would get better and warmer food from a gas station. read more

I come here often and the staff is always kind and the bagels are so delicious. However, today I was surprised.

Highly recommend this spot. read more
