    Avocado Bagel with jalapeño and cheese
    Edmundo P.

    Been coming here since 2016, and let me tell you, this is the best mom-and-pop bagel shop. They have plenty of bagel selections. The menu consists of closed-bagel and open-face-bagel options, however you want them. The drinks are great too, and I personally get the vanilla chai blended. As you can see in the picture, we got an egg and cheese bagel with jalapeño and cheese. The second bagel is avocado cream cheese with jalapeño and cheese. If people are complaining about there not being enough bagels when they arrive close to closing time, you can't blame the store they are poppin and those bagels sell out quick! Better get there when they open because that's when you can taste the fresh out of the oven bagels! Oh yeah all there bagels are home made with love put in them

    Garlic Bagel with avocado, cream cheese, and lox (salmon)

    The best place to get your bagels! less than 5min away from mt.sac. The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. I got a chicken club bagel (forgot to take a picture xD) and an avocado bagel with cream cheese and lox. They provide quality recommendation on which bagels go well with each ingredients. My first time here the owner had also given me a complementary ice coffee! Overall, a wonderful experience coming here for breakfast! I recommend the garlic bagel and the ice hazelnut coffee!

    Classic Lox Bagel $14
    Rickey S.

    Family owned business. Came on a Wednesday at 1230pm and ordered an open face lox bagel ($14) on jalapeño cheddar ($1) extra. Order came out in less than 10 min & only one person working. They give generous amount of ingredients and it tasted fresh. There were very few bagel options when I was there so make sure to come earlier. It's my third time coming here and the customer service is always good.

    Onion bagel with plain cream cheese
    Cindy M.

    Love this bagel shop! It's small, but mighty. The staff are always friendly, the service is quick, and it's just cute all around. I've had their onion bagel, garlic bagel and their rosemary olive oil bagel so far, always with a plain cream cheese and it never disappoints. I recommend!

    This is one of my favorite post-hike stops on Sunday mornings. I can taste the love they put into these bagels and spreads made in-house. They are exquisitely delicious! Thank you to the kind and lovely family that owns this establishment for your contribution to the community!

    Nice quaint spot near MtSac. Got me the Godfather which is pastrami and provolone. Looks small but OMFG this thing is packed with flavor. Can't speak to the service though for my wife ordered while I ran an errand next door. Priced right, good oj, chill vibe on a Sunday morning. If you dont want to drive to Beverly Hills for their pastrami bagel and spend 70 bucks come here instead. Easier on the wallet and you taste buds will thank you.

    ** ONE STAR FOR MY EXPERIENCE NOT THEIR BAGELS!!! ** So I used to come to Clearwater for bagels when I lived closer. The bagels were amazing and there were always a ton of people in line for them. Today I decided to drive out to pick up a dozen for family. I tried calling the day before to see if they do pre-orders because I needed them early Saturday morning but no one picked up. So I get here today, Saturday morning, almost 39 minutes early. I wait and they don't open until about 8:10. While waiting I notice signs everywhere stating that they don't sell loose/bagels, which I'm totally confused by. When I finally get inside I'm told that the only way I can buy more than one bagel is if I purchase a $5 side of cream cheese FOR EACH BAGEL. I was so dumbfounded by this, I asked, "So if I buy 6 bagels I need to buy each one it's own cream cheese for $5- which would be $30 just for the cream cheese?" And the cashier confirmed that was correct. A dozen is $21, so if I didn't pre-order it world be $81 for a dozen bagels and a dozen individual cream cheeses that I'm required to purchase Nevada I didn't pre-order. I understand that they do this so they apparently don't sell out early, but making people pay $5 for cream cheese for each bagel? Really, really disappointed- especially as a customer who used to love them and honestly did not know about this policy before I woke up almost two hours early and drive over to Walnut to get here before they opened.

    Bagels are fantastic, owner is incredibly friendly. Highly recommend this place. We had two ham, egg, and cheese bagel sandwiches and they came out fast and perfect.

    S'more Bagel

    Clearwater Bagel is a small, locally-owned spot. You place your order from one side of the store and pick it up from a window on the other. I went on a random Wednesday around lunchtime when it wasn't busy, and the wait was ok. I ordered their Avocado Bagel on an Everything Bagel and the S'mores Bagel on a Cranberry Bagel, which were new to the menu and sounded intriguing. Unfortunately, both open-faced bagels were a letdown. The bagels were overly hard and crusty, and they seemed almost shrunken after toasting. The avocado bagel was topped with slices of fresh avocado and lemon pepper seasoning -- basic and straightforward but slightly underwhelming. The s'mores bagel, while creative, was overly sweet, sticky, and messy. It's a one-time novelty, not something I'd crave again. A few months ago, I tried their California Club Bagel (onion) Sandwich -- it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't particularly memorable. Compared to other local bagel spots like Bageloo, Reborn, or Julie's (in the past), Clearwater doesn't really stand out, especially considering their prices. The bagels just aren't that good. They also make it harder to buy just loose bagels. If you don't preorder a large quantity, you have to pay for bagels with cream cheese, which costs more.. This feels so restrictive and less customer-friendly. I've heard the place changed ownership, and that might explain why it doesn't live up to the reviews. It's disappointing because I'd like to support a local business like this, but the bagels just aren't worth it. I haven't tried their drinks yet, but honestly, I'd rather go somewhere else for better bagels.

    Easy parking in a strip mall. This place has limited hours and caters to locals in the area including the local colleges. They have dally fresh options that can be sold out depending on popularity. It is disappointing that the price point the bagels are so high for the amount of bagel you get. Further the bagels are not really anything unique to command the price. I understand it's difficult to run a local business but it is difficult to support the place given the price per taste per volume here. Overall worth a skip.

    Ask the Community - Clearwater Bagel

    Are you open on Mother's Day 5/14?

    Is this business still open? I keep on getting a recording asking to enter my phone number.

    They are open I was there last week their phone line was down at the time they always post live updates on their instagram I think that's the best to get a hold of them at the moment

    Do they sell the bagel sandwiches in the morning when it opens or is it just breakfast bagels?

    They have a good selection of bagel sandwiches eg. blt, vegan bagel, lox and bagel , Chicken salad tuna salad sandwiches and my favorite is the Korean bulgogi beef , as far as I know breakfast is serve all day

    Do they do phone orders so you don't have to wait?

    I just called them before I go in that way the lady will tell me which bagel they still have left and the waiting part it depends on how busy they are because they are only letting one customer to go tin at a time so hope that answer your questions

    Are any of their bagels vegan friendly? I used to love coming here around my high school/SAC days.

    Yes they have veggie and vegan sandwiches and if I'm not mistaken all of their bagel is vegan expect for the egg bagel

    Do they take apple pay android pay?

    If you meant apple pay they do, but not sure abt android pay

    Do you sell cream cheese in large tubs?

    Yes they do

    How many have you ever tried Clearwater bagels? Do you agree with me it's awesome?

    Hands down !!!!!

I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon.

So do with that as you will. Locals must think this is good food. Located in a tiny corner strip mall on a desolate street is this little breakfast/brunch place. I wish I had listened to the 1 star reviews and not gone in. I especially wish I had seen that Yelp had their health listing rated at C before I ordered. Isn't it the law that a restaurant must display their health rating in the window, cause it wasn't displayed anywhere to be seen. So first they brought out a large jug of water with some fruit slices and mint in it. Would've been nice if the water wasn't room temperature. Is the ice machine not working? Then came the best part of the entire meal - my hazelnut latte. The coffee was good and the cup is gigantic. My teen had the french toast, eggs (scrambled), and bacon plate. The one slice of french toast was okay but nothing special. The eggs were bland and lacking any seasoning including salt and pepper. The bacon, of which I got a side for myself, too, was absolutely disgusting. At first I thought the bacon had been cooked possibly on a dirty grill in old grease or right after something else had been cooked, as it had a horrendous aftertaste like rotten meat and sweaty gym socks. They made a new plate but this one was raw, despite being ordered well done and crispy. Raw. And it absolutely stunk. That was when I came to think it might be uncured pork belly like you get a Korean KBBQ and not bacon at all. Luckily they cancelled the order. I also got a side of the breakfast (rosemary) potatoes, which I also ordered crispy and well done but arrived as a scoop of mush. They tasted okay but I saw crispy potatoes at numerous other tables. Don't know why they couldn't cook as ordered. I also had the dutch baby. I'm sorry but this is a dessert bread pudding and not a real dutch baby pancake. The inside should be airy and fluffy, not sopping wet. I'm not sure if the inside was undercooked and possibly raw dough or if they make it with some sweetened cream inside. It was not good, and it was way too sweet. Instant diabetes sweet. I will never go back. I strongly recommend that all people stay as far away as possible. The service was good - friendly and attentive, but what good is that when the food is so awful? I also had severe stabbing pains in my stomach for a couple hours after getting home. Avoid at all costs!
