    Great corner bagel shop with plenty of choices of bagel as well as cream cheese. They do have coffee too. Clean and bright with good vibe. Friendly staff. Bagels are tasty and but the cream cheese filling was so little. Wish it just abit more.

    Fresh and yummy bagels!

    I absolutely love this bagel shop; after searching forever for an authentic spot and getting tired of coffee-shop bagels, I finally found the one. They have amazing bagel varieties, cream cheese flavors, specialty coffees, smoothies, and so much more. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, and service is quick, efficient, and affordable. Whether you're local or just visiting, you have to stop by. My go-to is the jalapeño cheese bagel with garlic cream cheese. This morning I tried the caramel frapp, and it was really good! I've also had the matcha latte and mango smoothie, both favorites. I truly hope the owner opens more shops one day!

    I always call to order my bagel and it would take around 10' before it ready, super convenient! We usually order 3 little piggies, or open face lox. Clean bagel shop, they have a lots of bagel flavor selections, bagels taste fresh and airy, cream cheese also has multiple flavors. Parking is easy, plenty of seat, and employee always very nice and friendly.

    C-CCAT added lox and capers - not worth the extra $5 for the little they give

    I am sad to return to leave a bad review. I've been coming here forever and the quality has always been great for their bagel sandwiches. I paid extra for lox and got very little it's more tomato than lox. I got it on a jalapeno cheese bagel which itself tasted burnt. My grandma got an egg bacon and cheese on a cheese bagel and her bagel was also Burnt. She couldn't eat the bagel itself it was so hard. With Einstein bagels just opening next door you would think they want to up the quality to keep loyal customers.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. This is what you get when you order from here a rock hard cheese bagel burnt to death.

    This is the view from where I sat near the checkout facing towards the front door.

    First time here - have always been curious to try this for breakfast! They didn't disappoint - very easy to park, amazing selection of menu items, and a very nice (and clean - super clean!) layout and design for the interior. The person who helped me at the counter was super helpful, and the service was very quick! The food was too good - we had the veggie breakfast bagel and the three little pigs breakfast bagel with mocha coffees. Bonus - as I got it to go, even the coffee cup lids kept the coffee inside as I was driving! Well definite back, and definitely recommend - 10/10! #winning

    This place was pretty good, I got the spinach bagel with jalapeño and cream cheese/egg. It looks very clean too and a good size bagel not super overpriced.

    Toasted blueberry bagel and caramel cold brew

    I drive by this place all the time. Today I decided to walk and stop by there. The shop is clean and tidy. There are plenty of seating inside and outside. It is definitely a nice place to enjoy breakfast. First thing I noticed when I walked into the shop was the delicious fragrance of bagels. There's a good selection ranging from glaze, blueberry, jalapeno, cheese to cinnamon raisin. The menu is extensive as well. Lots of options for everyone. Personally, I am excited over the fact that I can get a medium cold brew and bagel for under $6. I asked for the bagel to be toasted, and it was toasted just right. Crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. I will be coming by again to try the bagel sandwiches and matcha drinks.

    I just had the best bagel and latte here! So yummy such quick service and very friendly staff.

    Bacon egg and cheese on jalapeño cheese bagel with jalapeño cream cheese spread
    Amber S.

    I come here a lot when I'm looking for something delicious before work. The bagels are yummy. They have lots of spread flavors and the sandwiches are to die for. Today we got a bacon egg and cheese on jalapeño cheese bagel with some cream cheese. Service is quick and they usually always get the order correct. Seating is limited but they usually have people in and out so it's never usually an issue.

    This cozy little bagel shop is everything you want in a small, local business. From the second we walked in, we were greeted with warm, welcoming smiles that made it clear they truly care about their customers. The team was friendly, upbeat, and moved quickly. I had my order in hand in no time, even during the morning rush. The bagels were incredibley fresh, flavorful, and perfectly toasted. The young lady Rachel who helped us recommended garlic cream cheese to complement the everything bagel which was DELICIOUS. There's something special about walking into a place where you feel like more than just a number. This shop has that. It's obvious they appreciate their customers and take pride in their food. If you're looking to support a small business with big heart (and amazing bagels!), this is your spot.

    "Lox Bagel"
    Gwynne S.

    Asked for a lox bagel, on jalapeño cheese bagel at 8am on a Thursday. it was packed into a togo bag when I had orginally wanted to stay, meh I took it to go since thats how it was packed and when I opened it at home I found it was missing most of the toppings. It had a tomato, cream cheese, and lox. No bed of lettuce, no cucumber, no red onion, no capers. The flavor was completely skewed because of missing ingredients AND the bagel was stale. Awful. I'm embarassed for you boardwalk. Can't wait for Einstein bros to open up across the street.

    Arc, you continue to blow my mind…read more An iced latte and thrifting is #1 on my weekend task list. Since estate dales pop off in Buena Park this coffee shop has become a repeat on the weekend rotation. I recently tried their banana bread latte for the first time. This is not only banana flavored, but also has light pieces of graham cracker. There's no better way to describe this drink than a visual of my brain blowing - if only Yelp allowed emojis. I've found that a great quality flavored latte can be hard to come by. I like my morning beverages to be heavy on the caffeine - both in dosage and flavor. Arc has done a tremendous job of balancing the two. I've also tried their espresso tonic (insane) and their traditional matcha. Easily a top coffee shop in Orange County!

During one visit, requesting a simple sprinkle of cinnamon resulted in an unnecessary comment, after asking for cinnamon on my iced latte, Marcy (a shift supervisor) looked at me with annoyance and said "just to let you know it's hydrophobic so it's not going to mix" On another visit, when I tried to order my usual iced Americano with cold foam, Marcy refused, saying "those are just the rules." Even when I asked to simply purchase a side of cream top instead, she refused to sell it to me--which was baffling, considering other staff members have been making this exact drink for me without issue for the past two weeks. After messaging the owner, he explained that the shop restricts drink modifications to speed up service. However, the obvious miscommunication among staff shouldn't fall on the customer. It was extremely uncomfortable to be shut down and given a hard time by Marcy. While every business has the right to set its menu rules, denying basic customizations and refusing to sell a side of cream top feels overly rigid for a local coffee shop. The strict atmosphere makes for a stressful customer experience.

I stopped by on a Thursday afternoon because I was looking for somewhere to get some work done, and this ended up being such a nice find. It wasn't very busy, the atmosphere was calm, and they have free WiFi and tables available. Seating is a little limited though, so if you're specifically coming here to work for a few hours, I'd recommend getting here earlier to secure a spot. Service was also super welcoming.
