With all transparency: this bagel spot is my top 5. I've tried a lot of bagel spots. I went to college in Davis and I'm currently living in the Bay Area, and I always crave Blazin' Bagels! The bagels I typically always order Blazin' Turkey or the Morning Star. It's always so good and I'm still struggling to find a bagel spot similar to this. The staff is always so nice and accommodating to your order and your add ons. I love that you are able to watch them bake the bagels and their pastries. Sometimes if they're low on staff, it does take longer to get your bagels but this has only happened to me a few times. I haven't experienced a time where I struggled to find a seat to eat, but I typically just order to-go. I also appreciate that their bagels don't run out quickly. The jalapeño cheddar is always my go-to, but I would like it spicier but it's still good! I will also die on a hill when I say you have to try their Funny Mocha Monkey at least once. Caffeine + amazing flavor = never disappoints. If you're in the area, stop by! read more

The cashiers were nice and quick. I got the cafe garlic bagel and my sister got the California turkey bagel. I also got the espresso blast. We didn't have to wait too long for our order. We went around 11am on Thursday. It was pretty quiet and a chill setting where you can take your food to go or sit and people watch or talk. It opens before the mall so you're only able to stay in the little corner but once the mall opens they open extra seating and you're able to walk around the mall with your food. The bagels were soooo good. Crunch bagel and it is filled with a good amount of meat. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is their espresso blast. It tasted like something was freezer burnt it just had a really weird after taste so I threw it out. I highly recommend their bagel sandwiches! read more

Me and my wife were there about an hour ago, and it was honestly the worst service we've experienced there. My wife kindly asked about a coffee that is usually sold out. The girl helping us said "no" with attitude. Moments later, she turned around and made that same drink for another customer who asked. When we returned and asked again, she rolled her eyes at us. My wife told her directly: "If I wasn't paying for it, that would be a problem. But I am paying for it. And there's no reason for eye rolls or attitude." Then she switched to Spanish assuming we wouldn't understand. We are Puerto Rican. We speak Spanish. Hearing disrespect behind our backs, in our language, was unprofessional and ugly. And when she finally made the drink--after all that? It was watered down. At that point, it would've been better for her to simply be honest and have someone else make it--someone who understands basic respect and customer service. This wasn't just bad service. This was disrespect. This was discrimination hidden under attitude. And I'm calling it out. Because behavior like that needs to be corrected--not ignored. read more

Located outside of the Salinas, Northridge mall.This is a small bagel spot, so it can get super crammed inside real quick. The ordering system is fast and their menu is simple, but the bagels do take a few minutes to be ready considering it's a very busy place. WHAT I ORDERED: The Monterey breakfast bagel. It had everything; bacon, avocado, cheese, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts on a whole wheat bagel. INSIDE: There's plenty of seating so you can relax while you wait for you order to be made, THE FOODS: My bagel was fresh and fluffy! Fun concept and it didn't fall apart, and that is what sold me, and why I keep coming back here. If you love bagels, I recommend this place - thank you and I look forward to my next visit. read more

I've got to admit, the last place I was expecting to find a great bagel spot was in a shopping mall! However, don't let the location fool you - this place makes a mean bagel sandwich! I got mine toasted with turkey, cream cheese, sprouts, and all the fixings. It was delicious & satisfying. I would definitely head back to this location to try out their other options and baked goods. The ambience is clean and cozy, set apart from the rest of the mall with its own private seating. The service was friendly, and they have plenty of seating close to one of the mall entrances. read more

Amazing New York Style Bagels! The boil before baking method they use makes the outside nice and crisp and shiny while leaving the inside soft & chewy! Really the PERFECT bagels every time. Smoothies and Boba are so good! Especially the All-Nighter (Vietnamese coffee), pairs perfectly well with one of their Macarons for a morning snack.

Looking for a late breakfast/early lunch so me and the wife stopped here. I got the chicken salad on a sesame and wife got the blazin turkey. The chicken salad comes with sprouts and tomato. I elected not to get the sprouts or tomato. The cashier then advised if that was the case a build your own was cheaper. Much appreciated that he did that. The blazin turkey comes with turkey sprouts tomato and avocado. Both were really delicious. This was one of the better chicken salads I've had. Also the bagels were terrific. Nice and soft and tasted great. I highly recommend. Great bagels and great staff. read more

I feel guilty for not leaving reviews for this place before. We came here in December for the first time before a road trip to get bagels and coffee for breakfast. My daughter and I went for a more traditional route with a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese as where my husband and son with a more savory option and got a monterey breakfast and California Turkey. I loved how huge and soft my bagel was & the cream cheese had an extra sweetness that is hard to describe. Ever since then I've come here every other week after I drop my kids off at school and get 8 plain bagels and 3 tubs of their strawberry cream cheese. If you're in The neighborhood definitely stop by and grab a bagel. read more

This place was awesome! Bravo! I was pleasantly surprised at how good a bagel can be. I was a bit hesitant of a small bagel place in the mall and with Panera bread calling to me. I almost changed my mind. Found the place with much ease and although there was a large crowd there wasn't a line! I ordered a jalapeño bagel and the jalapeño melt. Which was cream cheese fresh slices of jalapeño's and melted cheddar on top open faced and toasted to perfection. We also tried the pizza bagel. Which was exactly how it sounded a bagel made into a pizza. Sauce cheese pepperoni. Not for me but the bf didn't mind it. The chocolate muffin was 6 for my daughter. But who's orders a muffin at a bagel place anyways? Lastly we had a strawberry tea with honey boba and it was delightful. I wish I lived in the area but I will return when I pass through! read more

The AMAZING Manager Elizabeth(hope I remembered) was Super Pleasant and kind for this Very energetic and inquisitive monkey. So patient and informative with ALLLL my questions, and to boot, She makes the best smoothies. I have been making them(smoothes) for 20 years(since before I was born) so I am SUPER picky and have Highhhh standards.... She adjusted my Masterpiece(again smoothie) to a tee; fine tuning to complement my lifestyle choices.. PLUSSS as a BONUS she gave me the Golden Mylk Base(Divine) because this is the protocol if they use it in the making of your smoothie. Super Bonus, and Cost effective, because it saves you a few dollars to TIP/laundry if needed/get a bagel/donut/ whatever because this lil shopping center has so many options.. Yet, it is a MUST to experience ELIZABETHS skills because the SUPER DUPER bonus is there will be a Perfectly Pressed opening in Monterey in Dec(fingers crossed), with her MAGIC going with her!! I pray she is Over appreciated for the standards she lives and practices. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, She created the seasonal MYLK juices, What?? Mind Blown done... What a Gem...#overpayher.com PS I have been 3 days in a row so it wasn't a fluke... PSS Yes It's me again, didn't realize it was on another account... Grrr So I posted it on the one I use..

I order an açai bowl from here every day and they're always great, good portions, fresh fruit, but…read morethe last three days in a row the portions are half of what they normally are I can understand one or two being wrong but the last four have been like this if this is their new process I will not be buying from here anymore which is sad because I really like their products, just don't like feeling ripped off

Everything was great! After seeing the negative reviews I was nervous about eating here. The food…read morewas delicious. We all raved about the meatballs. I had the shrimp scampi and it was so good, I ate the whole thing. The service was excellent. The waitress was very attentive and checked on us often even though it was a Saturday night. This was for a special occasion and it met all of our expectations.

This restaurant has changed owners. Its been awhile since we have come and although the food was…read moregood, it was not the same as the original establishment. We had a terrific server and were easily seated on a Saturday night. The place hardly had anyone there which was unusual for our historical stops there. We ordered an array of items from starters, pasta and pizza and even my favorite Bruschetta Genovese was missing the original recipe and was not worth coming back for. Large portions and better than average ....but kind of disappointed that it appearsbthey have changed many of the recipes that once made this a go to for our family. And I would say a bit overpriced for the quality now. I will stick to Angelinas and Pastabilities to get the food cooked and seasoned like our food memory remembers.
