The young girl at the register is so unfriendly, she looks miserable being there, the bagels are tiny and not that good and there is always a long wait in the morning. Not worth it! read more

I came across this local bagel shop after seeing all the great reviews and decided to give it a try, so glad I did! I went around 2 p.m., and they were already sold out of several bagels, but I got an onion bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly as well. I can't wait to come back and try more of their bagels. read more

Spinach bagel toasted- w/cream cheese on the side. That has been my go to order for over 20 years. I lived in PQ for over 10 years and this was a regular stop for me then. Introduced my girlfriend now wife to these bagels and she was hooked, particularly on the strawberry cream cheese. Now years later even living 30-40 minutes away I still stop in from time to time for my go to bagel breakfast. Store is small but you can enjoy your bagel on the patio out front. It does get pretty busy in the mornings especially before school when all the high school students hit this spot for breakfast. It can take a while sometimes to get a simple bagel when it's crowded but the staff is always friendly and helpful read more

One of my favorites and very local. Always a line Sunday morning and the bagels are freshly made. They also have one of my favorite coffee's #SeattleBest. Taking an out-of-towner foodie. Got me a colorful bagel yay! He gave it a thumbs up? read more

As a born and raised New Yorker, I can tell you that these bagels are extremely good. Soft and tasty in the inside and outside is a good texture but not too hard. The cream cheese spread is very soft. Will order from here again read more

First time here. I was craving a bagel so I goggled what's nearby. The place was nice and big and super busy. The cashier he wasn't that nice so the customer service was ok but at least they were fast. We order four different kinds to go. Honestly it's just a normal bagel nothing special. It was 19 dollars for four, I thought it was pricey jfor just average bagels. read more

We love Golden Bagel! Their service is always polite, quick, and friendly! We're big fans of the Rainbow bagels and the Jalapeño & Cheese bagels. We always go early as the popular items (like Rainbow bagels) definitely sell out! We also have only done take outs as it feels pretty crowded to eat on site. read more

If you're looking for the best breakfast bagel in town, Gloden Bagel is in a league of its own. Their golden scramble is absolutely unmatched--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and packed into a bagel that's always fresh and delicious. Honestly, nobody even comes close. I've tried plenty of other spots, and I always find myself comparing them back to Gloden Bagel. In fact, when I write reviews for other places, I can't help but say they should take a lesson from Gloden Bagel if they want to step up their breakfast game. Consistently amazing quality, great taste, and always satisfying--this place sets the standard. read more

The jalapeño and cheddar bagel is my favorite. Their breakfast sandwiches are extremely good. Definitely takes a long time though so don't go if you're in a rush. read more

Been coming here for years since it was by my high school. Its a local favorite right next to vons and Starbucks. I always rave that it's the best bagel in SD. So many different options and so fresh. I got the scramble bagel with sun dried tomato and veggie cream cheese. $10 can be a lil pricey but always so good. Giving it 4 stars this time though since my bagel wasn't toasted and the egg could have been warmer. read more

Stopped by for some breakfast while in the area and it seems like a great local spot. They have a wide variety of bagels and spreads to choose from. We split a smoked salmon bagel and the golden scramble with ham. The smoked salmon was good, with a generous portion of salmon and nicely dressed with veggies. The golden scramble was hearty and loaded with egg and ham. read more

Delicious everything bagels for a reasonable price! Very chewy, a good softness, not quite the density I associate with a NY style bagel but very very satisfying and flavorful- the onion and rock salt are such a great combo- just enough and not too much. I had at least one crunch of the rock crystal salt in every bite which was perfect. Their coffee is pretty good without breaking the bank- Seattle's best- it's not Starbucks but I don't care because it's so reasonable and does the job when I need a quick pick me up. The prices for the bagel sandwiches are steep for my budget so I order a half dozen everything to go, and fix them my way, at home. But before I do, I always eat one in the car, straight with no toppings, because they are just that tasty! So so so much better than Einstein, Costco or any grocery store bagel. No comparison. Service was good and parking easy. I like to drop in every time I am in the area if I need bagels. This is in my top 3 bagels for San Diego. read more

Waited over 40 min for one bagel sandwich. Tried coming back, thinking it may have been an off day. Nope, service was still sooo slow. Never coming back. read more

We are frequent visitors because my kids just love the rainbow bagel! Now that they're older, this is still their go-to bagel. We usually are in and out because our normal order is just a few bagels thrown in a bag. The service is always wonderful. This visit, we ordered a few dozen bagels and a variety of cream cheese tubs as a treat for a local school during Staff Appreciation Week. The wonderful woman that helped me didn't make me feel rushed- although the line was literally going out the door! I felt so bad after paying, turning to leave and noticing the long line my indecisiveness created. We'll always come back! read more

My favorite bagels in SD. So soft. Great size. Love their bagel sandwiches. I get them 2-3x per week.

Been craving bagels all weekend and came across this bagel spot. Coming in for the first time, I didn't know what I wanted or which bagel to get. After looking at the menu for a little bit, I wanted the golden scramble which came with eggs and cheese, so I asked the worker which bagel he would recommend to get this on. He said definitely the cheese bagel so I went ahead and got this one with the golden scramble and added bacon. This bagel was really delicious. The bacon had a good crisp to it. The prices were great as well. The bagel does not automatically come with cream cheese, but that is something that I will definitely have to add next time I come here! read more

Still the Best -- Even Compared to NYC Bagels I've been coming to this bagel spot since I was a kid, and it's still my favorite. I've tried other bagel places over the years, including some highly rated ones in New York, and honestly -- nothing compares. The bagels here are always fresh, perfectly chewy on the outside and soft inside, just how they should be. The cream cheese is my favorite too. The owners are such great people too that make us feel like family everytime we come in. read more

I literally drove 25 minutes from my house just to get these bagels. They sell out quickly so come relatively early if you're hoping to get a specific type of bagel. Something about these bagels just hits different than other bagels. Enough to warrant the drive. I personally go for a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese, but you can't go wrong here. Staff is friendly and bagels are divine. read more

There were five of us, and we all ordered. I understand they were busy, and we would have to wait, but after seeing everyone get their orders and still nothing, I went up to the employee working the register and asked if it was almost ready. She replied, "Oh, I didn't know what one of the bagels was." So, the order had never even been started after 30 minutes. Poor customer service! If the employee had taken two minutes to ask what kind of bagel we needed, we wouldn't have had to wait for almost 40 minutes for five bagels. read more

I have grown up coming here and have always had great service along with the food being good as well. Today we experienced the worst customer service. Lee who I will post a picture here, is rude. We were the only people in line and my daughter ordered a bagel, she realized it didn't have salmon on it. This is when Lee became rude and his demeanor changed. We had not finished our order nor did we pay yet. Changing what she wanted took a few seconds. So why was this such an issue? When I spoke to the manager all he could say was okay. Please fix this man's poor attitude so other customer don't have the same experience. God forbid they change their mind and he has a few extra clicks. read more

Golden Bagel - This is Lee, he is rude. - Bagels Near Me - San Diego, California

We were in the area and stopped by Golden Bagel for breakfast, and wow, we were pleasantly surprised. The bagels are incredibly fresh. My favorite is the everything bagel, and we lucked out with a batch that had just come out of the oven. I love that both the top and bottom are perfectly seasoned. The cream cheese smear is super creamy and delicious. This has easily become our favorite bagel shop in San Diego. read more

Update: Still think this is the best spot for a bagel sandwich in SD, but lately I've been disappointed by missing items in my order that I paid for. Would love it if the staff could pay extra attention to detail to orders so loyal customers aren't getting shorted. Thanks! read more

Tell me why I came for a bagel 20 min before my shift for 2 toasted bagels. Took me 20 min to even get two simple toasted bagels. The worker in charge of the toasting station was working soo slow, and when I approached the counter to let them know I needed to leave, they said "we're working on it" and the lady got like mad?? And literally stopped working on it. No real of the story it's not a quick in and out like it should be. Edit: the bagel was delicious though. read more

When I saw I want a Jalapeño Cheese bagel THIS is what I'm talking about (see picture) I went to Golden Bagel in PQ this morning (Monday) for a quick and filling bite. I always feel bad taking the last of something but I swear the Jalapeño Cheese bagel was calling my name. I would absolutely come here again to try their other items because they have a nice sized menu. I can't wait to try their falafel items. I'm a harsh critic for middle eastern food, but based on my great experience today I plan on enjoying it. In terms of the ambiance it's a small building with indoor and outdoor seating, natural lighting, and it's not crazy loud considering the amount of people and whirring blenders. It's in a shopping center so there's a lot of parking including spots right out front. read more

I think the Seattles Best Vanilla coffee is the best brewed coffee in San Diego. I'd come just for that. They have a peanut butter bagel that is wonderful and unique. All their bagels are delicious. It's too bad I don't live closer. read more

Great service and great food. The environment is cozy and the staff is super friendly.

Cool little bagel shop but, not the best. We stopped by here for the first time, Saturday around 9 am. It was packed! We stood in line for 10 minutes ordered and waited another 20 for 2 Golden Scrambles. I am not so concerned about the wait because I'm sure it was peak time for bagel eating but they did seem a little unorganized behind the counter. Just a thought not a certainty. The customer service was good. They got the order right and ordering was pretty easy. We didn't get the bagels we wanted but they let us know they were in the oven and would be 10 more minutes. That was nice to let us know. The bagel sandwich wasn't that good. It was like a bagel sandwich from 7 eleven or McDonalds or whoever offers an egg/cheese bagel. It seems like they just microwaved the entire thing. The bacon was thin and tasteless like Mc Donald's, the eggs were a thick, formed chunk, barely any cheese and it tasted like sliced Kraft cheese and the bagel was soft and plain. I was not impressed. The price was ok for what we got. I would rather pay a little more for better ingredients and toasted bagel. I may be back to try a cream cheese bagel and see how that goes. read more
