We make it a point to stop here every time we can. Our favorites are the sandwiches and the fresh bagels. Easy to get to off 50 and always have friendly staff. read more

A great little bagel and coffee shop in the heart of Main Street above the Courthouse and across from the classic Chamber building. A good selection, but not many of the jewish favorites like egg or pumpernickel. They are catering to the fat and sweet happy bageliers here but lots of seeded stuff too, with the core flavors in the middle row. Top is for kids, middle is the classic, bottom, is west coast style. Big bagels with big chew, almost New York but west coast bleeds in with adders like pesto and jalapeno. Bottom line - It's a very good bagel. Is Levy nervous? No. But why so, he doesn't even know how to find Placerville (Levy has no Google services). This is a true mountain town location and there is a nice amount of sophistication here for such an outpost. One of my favorites is the 3 seed, it is multi-grain, and a true original, as the innovation on that one can make things memorable for repeat customers. A dozen bagels here will set you back about $15. The locals love this place it's been here for a decade, or has it been decades now? Going to Sacramento is not necessary if you want a really good Bagel sandwich. Party up and enjoy your morning on the way to a trail or lake. A chewy sandwich awaits. But get there early, all the bagel options will be there for you. This is artisan and small and so things can run out. Enjoy the awesome patio, or the cozy interior. read more

I didn't have super high expectations for this bagel spot in the middle of a small town but we have been on a bagel sandwich kick recently so it sounded like a great idea. I liked that they had more options for bagel sandwiches than your typical ham, egg, and cheese. My husband ordered the Outlaw (bbq sauce, bacon, cream cheese) and I picked the Jalapeño Scramble, both on egg bagels. The Outlaw was really good and an unexpected winning combo! There was just enough bbq sauce without being too saucy and it was balanced out by the cream cheese. The jalapeño scramble was loaded. I loved the pickled jalapeño and it was just enough spice and acidity. The egg bagel itself was so fluffy and soft with a nice crisp on the outside, without being too toasted and hurting the roof of your mouth. I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was here, and it was nice that they had outdoor tables so we could enjoy our bagels while they were warm! read more

Unfortunately, the bagel DOESN'T work. I came in hoping for fresh bagels for breakfast (about 8:30 am today), and they looked promising... but thr swiss and bacon bagel I just had was one of the dryest, most stale bagels I've ever had. Very disappointing... I guess maybe they expect people to toast the bagels, but shouldn't have to do that if they are fresh (this one must have been made days ago. It actually had the dense, dried out texture of a store-bought bagel that had been refrigerated or frozen and then thawed.) Fortunately, the croissants I got were soft and fluffy. I also ordered a "White Lightning" coffee... this is supposedly white chocolate, but didn't taste like it (tasted more like a berry flavor?) But at least it was sweet and caffeinated (and reasonably priced), and it helped me choke down the dry bagel. read more

Awesome "full lox". A good amount of cream cheese (not as much as I'd use, but probably a better move); capers, and surprisingly-high-quality fish. I had this one on the dog-friendly outside patio. Awesome jalapeño scramble (thought I hadn't read the menu carefully and was surprised by the McD-style breakfast sausage patty). I had this one, several hours cooled and slightly squished, on top of a mountain. I've got to try the Full English next time I'm in a meat mood --- egg, sausage, bacon, tomato all sound good, but apparently A1 instead of proper HP brown sauce? read more

Good service, lovely atmosphere and great bagels. We had the jalapeno scramble on a Parmesan bagel and it was just the right amount of heat. Heading up from the east bay and will definitely stop here again read more

This place has a good selection of bagels, but can run out. Excellent spreads, good service and coffee. I always get the cinnamon raisin bagel, my wife likes this one as well with the onion and chive spread. They also have lunch bagel sandwiches and other options. It's a very casual atmosphere, nothing fancy read more

So recently they changed carriers for the bagels an I'm not disappointed because they are always fresh. I do miss the real jalapeños on the top of a bagel but they now are infused in the bread. I always get a white mocha, use what carrier they use but it's literally the best in the county. I won't get my coffee ANYWHERE else in town! so grateful they have stayed open despite this years problems. read more

This is the best bagel shop in Placerville. You have to try their Turkey Pesto Melt on Havarti garlic bagel

Oh mannn I hate to do this because I love this place, but the last few times I've been here, the bagels are just really dry. Not sure if it's because it's a sourdough bagel, or their supplier, but I don't think I can pay $10 for a bagel sandwich anymore, with the bagel tasting old. Service was good, and veggies inside bagel were fresh. read more

Great tasty bagel. Fast service. Only issue I have is they made my sandwich out of the wrong bagel. Not a huge deal. It tasted good. Just hard to rectify with Covid and everything being "to go". Thanks for being open read more

I am writing this because their biscuits and gravy, which they offer on weekends, deserves a five star review. Every so often I get a craving for biscuits and gravy so I have sampled this dish at several of the restaurants in El Dorado County, and this is positively the best. The biscuits seem very homemade and have a light and wonderful texture. The gravy has just the right amount of meat in it, and what adds a special taste is a hint of warmth - - not too spicy but just enough to make it perfect and just different enough. I can't wait to have this again. read more

Excellent bagels. Service was personable and small town friendliness. I will go back.

The bagels have always been fresh and good. Good variety of spreads. When you have a good product, it doesn't matter if you are the only act in town. Thumbs up to the great staff also. read more

The bagels are great!! The staff can't say thank you or please, even when tipping. I will continue to go there but in doing so I will remind the staff who pays their salary - the customer. Back again 6/25/2017 Owner can't even say thank you after paying. Guess it runs in the family. No gratitude no gratuity!!! Still great bagels read more

It's a cool generally quick grab n go bagel shop. I've dined in and, as of now, call in to go orders. It has a constant flow of clintelle, or at least always does when I've been. I only go in the morning hours though. We always grab bagel sandwiches. No complaints on those. I guess if I had a gripe, the bagel sandwiches could use some hummus or some sort of spread? And the person taking the phone orders needs to know what they have and don't have instead of just taking an order then, when I get there, telling me they are out of... whatever... That kinda negates the idea of calling in my order in multiple ways. Go try it! read more

Had breakfast this morning at "Bagel Works". I had a bacon Swiss bagel with bacon and avocado and tomato . Plus a vanilla latte with almond milk, wholly molly yummy in my tummy Come and enjoy a wonderful coffee shop that has everything you could imagine, from breakfast pastries to sandwiches and burritos .

Bagel works nails it every time I want to indulge in breakfast! They have such fresh, tasty bagels. Paired with their flavorful cream cheese, how can you go wrong! I love the traditional bagel, egg, bacon and cream cheese on just about any bagel! My husband gets the cowboy bagel. I originally thought that sounded terrible, but after trying it...WOW, so so good! They have a great coffee bar as well! read more

Cool bagel shop. Seemed like a well known place. We tried the work bagel with cream cheese. They were good. They also have sandwiches for breakfast. Restroom could be cleaner. The sink was so filthy. Hope their kitchen is clean. read more

The rudest workers behind the counter and the dryest bagel I've ever eaten. This place has really gone down hill in the years I've lived here. What a waste of money. Asked for a receipt, apparently they only give you handwritten receipts. The girl behind the counter called my name as she put the bag on the counter, I got up and put my hand on the bag, and she scolded me that she wasn't done filling the order! Uhm okay, I said you did call my name though right? As I was rethinking did I not hear her correctly? And she said 'yes I did but I am not finished!' She threw the last bagel in and said 'Now I'm finished' rude rude rude, I believe her name was Grace and she was anything but. Then to eat the bagel was even more disappointing.. read more

Great bagels and great prices. Docked a star because the girl at the register wasn't as friendly as she could have been and seemed in pain to be working there. Would go back again but sincerely hope she is having a better day. read more

This place is a fun pit stop on your way to tahoe. Different ķind of bagels that they toast an smear. Or they make a sandwich with it. They also have coffee. It has a coffee shop feel to it. The beacon swiss was awesome. I had the jalapeño creme cheese. My wife had a veggie sandwich. Also awesome. Been here 3 times. 4 stars ever time. read more

I gave them only 3 stars because there was no menu to look at until you got to the register. There's sandwich choices on the wall that say, for ingredients look at the menu. Sure there's a menu taped to the window outside but it was raining when I was went and didn't feel like standing in the rain to look at a menu. We've never been so we didn't know what we wanted to order. There was a line as well so there was pressure to make a decision quickly. We finally saw a menu at the register when we were standing in front of the cashier asking us what we wanted. Because we felt hurried we ordered the first thing we saw which wasn't great. It had A1 sauce on it. Yuck. The bathroom is hideous. There's graffiti all over the bathroom and not the artistic kind. read more

There are a few locations in town. The food and beverage is good at all of them. The service downtown is hit and miss. Actually it's usually a miss. Often you feel like an annoyance to the kid working the counter because he's broadcasting it pretty hard. Still quality food though. read more

You gotta get here early or they run out of bagels, and the girls here are never very friendly, but it's a good stop for a quick bite. I like their veggie spread and my roommates all love their jalapeño breakfast scramble (tasty but spicy!) There's always a line, so be prepared to wait a little bit. read more

First time here, looked pretty clean and friendly. Tried a veggie sandwich on sourdough with no tomatoes. After a long while they brought out a BLT with no tomatoes. Sent it back with a small attitude from the girl at the counter. They corrected the order but there were tomatoes. If you cannot make a simple sandwich after two tries you just don't care. I didn't t bother sending it back. read more

Bagels are just okay. Nothing spectacular. Every time I have been in, they are lacking more than half of their selection. The store is dirty, chairs not pushed in, crumbs everywhere, the condiment bar filled with trash. This is an easy fix, if the employees would pay attention to their job and customers. I watched two girls eat continuous, stopping just to chew when customers came in, and just lean around doing nothing... hello!! There is a chunk of avocado on the floor and the place needs a good wipe down. UPDATE: decided to go in for a veggie bagel and it was like going into a different shop completely. The blonde working the register was very sweet and did a great job. My bagel was made very quickly. I'm glad the customer service had improved and the cleanliness of the shop has also gone up. Good for you guys! I will be back soon!!! Keep up the good work read more

This spot is a go too for breakfast for me. The food is always great and the staff is always upbeat and friendly. My most recent visit was no exception. There was a sign posted asking customers to be patient because all of the staff was new. There was a slight confusion about the order but the staff handled it promptly and sweetly, and the bagels, tea and coffee were on point. Thanks for keeping up standards! read more

Passing through and wishing it wasn't so far to return again in a few weeks! Dozens of different types of bagels and good coffee drinks. The staff was friendly and the food was very fresh. I had a jalapeño breakfast and it was soooo good! Stop in if you live here or if you need a place to stop for a great bagel sandwich. read more

My favorite is what I think is called the Lox Works. Ask for it toasted on an everything bagel... so good!

Even though I come here enough & buy food & coffee, all I wanted today was a cup of tap water for my dog. I was told "No, unless I purchased something." Placerville has many other places I can go to that are pet friendly. You have lost my business. #MypoorThirstyDog read more

Great bagels, but this place is really dirty inside and outside. Sandwich prep area, tables, floor, bathroom (when working) - all dirty.
