I visited H&H Bagels in Rancho Mirage for the first time this morning. As I waited briefly in line, I picked up the ambience of the place as upbeat, focused and relaxed. Customers ranged in age from those in advanced years and to the the very young. Service was responsive, knowledgeable and eager to help. The food was fresh, tasty and of great value for the price. I highly recommend H&H Bagels to anybody who has an appetite and/or love for bagels. Catherine L. read more

To be sure, these are delicious bagels. However, the line can be long and the recent wait was not worth it - they were out of most bagels. The place is pretty small and the work prep area wasn't well thought out, causing delays in getting order. The menu is small and limited. It is also pretty loud and you have to shout at the servers behind the counter. Also - don't be fooled by the prices posted for cream cheese, which is for the smallest serving. My medium cream cheese was $9.00 - not the $5.90 that was posted. I'll go back but not as a regular. read more

Such Good Bagels! I'm from the east coast and these bagels are legit. Also the service was great. The place was packed which was no problem for us because our server Adam was an excellent combo of very friendly and fast on his feet. Highly recommend this shop. read more

Their bagels are so yummy first time coming in here Great service and amazing food I highly recommend read more

First time I went I had the chicken salad sandwich on the everything bagel it was very good the chicken was white breast chicken breast and light mayo very nice as I hate chicken salad with heavy mayo . Second time I went it was a disaster I ordered the exact same thing, and got chunks of fatty chicken dark meat clumps, bagel was stale and hard big disappointment.. the manager offered to make another sandwich , I got the veggie , very bland and the begal was stale as well . read more

I was disappointed with my visit. The bagels were very hard and tasted stale rather than fresh. The shop was also extremely loud, making it difficult to enjoy breakfast or have a conversation. The biggest surprise was the price. Four bagels cost about $50, which felt far too expensive for the quality received. For that price, I expected fresh, soft bagels and a better overall experience. Unfortunately, I would not return and cannot recommend this bagel shop based on my experience. read more

I had an Everything scallion cream cheese Slightly sweet with a great crust and seasoning on both sides. Cream cheese was fresh and creamy smooth. The service was quick. Great attitudes. The ambiance was classic NY bagel style. Seating both inside and outside out. read more

25 minutes waiting for an avocado/egg/cheese bagel is too much. They claim to have the best bagels but the organization at the shop is atrocious. The owner is there amid the chaos and talks to locals and cleans tables. That's great. I wish he would figure out how to make the place run smoother. The bagel, once I got it, was good and generously packed with everything. I may have enjoyed it less because of the service experience. The place is loud, chaotic and disorganized. They also have decent bagels. Roll the dice if you wish but I'm one and done. Ps. They were apologetic and comped a juice but I'd asked about my order twice and nobody did anything til one of the cashiers (dude that looks like Jon Bernthal) searched for my order and personally made sure it was done. Big respect to his customer service! read more

H&H Bagels - Avocado, Egg & Cheese on Asiago w tomato and jalapeño. Decent. - Bagels Near Me - Palm Desert, California

H&H is absolutely delicious and the best bagels in the area! We ordered a Cinnamon Raisin bagel and a Jalapeño Cheddar... however I think the JC ended up being an Asiago on accident! Regardless of the mishap, these were to die for! Perfectly cooked, flavored and amount of cream cheese. Had about a 10 min line on a Monday morning!! Will definitely be back when I'm back in town!! read more

Go for normal Bagels, not for the hype. If you go because you heard their bagels are New York bagels, you'll be pretty disappointed like I was. I got the Class BEC (Bacon, Egg, & Cheese) on a Jalapeno Cheese bagel and an Everything bagel with a side of scallion cream cheese. Pros: - Everything Bagel had seasoning on both top and bottom. Is a really nice touch as not many people do that. - The cream cheese was rich, thick, creamy, and had a decent amount of scallions. - Bagels are pumped and pushed out so almost everything is fresh. - Customer service is great! They handle complaints from customers really well and professionally. - Generally kept very clean and tidy Cons: - The bagel was dense and flat rather than puffy, chewy, and soft. - The Class BEC had a lack of flavor and was dependent on the Bacon and Chipotle Mayo. The eggs tasted like there was no seasoning and were not fluffy at all. Cheese was gathered only in the middle. - I ordered in-person, took about 20mins to get into the door and took an additional 20 minutes to get my Classic BEC. An appeal of grabbing a bagel is because it's quick, not the case here. I also overheard some people who ordered online and went inside to pick up their order only to be told to wait 15-20minutes more. As someone who works in NYC and gets bagels at local bodegas every morning, I don't think it's fair for people to write reviews or post on social media claiming H&H is trying to be like New York bagels. It's not fair to the consumers nor the business. As a consumer, if you want to check out the buzz and see what people are talking about, check out H&H but don't expect much read more

I finally decided to try H&H Bagels . Now let's see ummm I ordered the spicy sausage everything bagel toasted with avocado & tomato which the sandwich was huge!. Not gonna lie I could only eat half & ended up sharing it with my coworker!. The bagel was pretty good (not the greatest) I also ordered a nitro cold brew coffee but honestly it was okay. Overall I liked the inside of the place very nice & clean. The staff was really nice. I'm not totally convinced on the hype it was okay but I'll have to try something else. read more

4 star bagel shop here in Palm desert. Bagels are good, better than any bagel I've yet to eat here in the valley. The line moves fast, staff is very friendly and the place is clean, convenient and it's easy to see what bagels are for sale. Cold brew coffee is 5 star delicious. I understand how the flow works, but kinda redundant telling my order to the person making my bagel order then telling the cashier again what my order is. I don't mind it per se, but the lady in front of me orders about 8 items and had to repeat her order again after trying to remember and clarify her order to the checkout employee. I want to try their cinnamon babka. I also hope to see bialy on their menu someday. read more

After driving by since opening day-- and seeing the lines a yards long-- I got lucky today before noon with nobody in the queue! I ordered a toasted onion bagel with Tuna salad and it was delicious. I want to return and try their Nova Lox which I heard is awesome. A BIG shout out to employee ALEX who is so warm and has a great attitude! I went back to purchase a bagel to go and the next thing I know Alex comes out from behind the counter to personally take my order!! Who does that?? A wonderful employee who is customer focused!! Great Job H&H and great job Alex. Highly recommend!! read more

The long line out the door was not only worth the wait but it gave me time to reactivate my ego as a New Yorker. You know the one, where I'm the only possible one in the entire joint whoever truly tasted a bagel. No one could tell me nothin'! I thought for sure these wouldn't hit. Skepticism, our new york guiding light, but alas and lucky for them, I was wrong. These are boiled in New Yawk watuh and flown here for baking. The taste passed my test. My NY bagel order is an Egg Everything Bagel with Veggie Cream Cheese on one side and Butter on the other. And ya eat it split, duh. They didn't have that so I went with an Everything bagel with scallion tomato bacon cream cheese on one side and butter on the other. I was skeptical about the bacon because California bacon is different than NY. Fight me about it if you're a local but you're wasting your time. So is the butter. But they for sure ship these items in with the bagels. I CAN TELL. This bagel was top notch or at least the toppest notch I've had since I left NY so it will do. The bagel flavor choices are incredibly Californian. But as discussed with staff, let them get establish and gain their bearings. Which means, y'all need to go check them out and eat some of their bagels so they can give us the real New Yawkuh experience one day. @HHBagels is a must stop when you're in the desert and can't back home to New Yawk. Don't forget your ego and the little mini apple juices, you know the ones! 5 out of 5 stars because, well, I'm nicer now that I live on the west coast. read more

H&H Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Visited H & H Bagel Shop (Super Happy with our visit!) in Palm Desert on Country Club near Monterey. We were there the Sunday the week after they opened, and had a 30 min. wait. Went back again Tuesday and the wait was shorter. We enjoyed the NY style bagels! My Hubby & I both worked in NYC for 30+ years. There is no where in the Desert that has this type of bagel! They have such a variety of spreads too! There are plenty of seats to enjoy your food/drink! We also stopped by later in the week... The owner (a very young guy) was there twice and remembered us. He's very friendly! His Father in law also works there. read more

1st and Foremost. The place has been open for business for a couple of days. For the people leaving a bad review because you had to wait in line? Get a life. Thats what happens when something new pops up. People want to try it. Not the businesses fault that you don't want to wait and your privilege is irrelevant. To the New Store. Customer service was on point. They're getting ppl in and out pretty quickly. Then you pay and obviously wait a bit depending on what you get as they make it fresh to order. Speed will naturally pick up as they get more practice in. For some it was their 2nd day. Bagels were really good! Cream cheese was delicious. I got Plain, Strawberry and Scallion. I will be back and will probably be a weekly visit personally and for our Job. read more

The desert really needed this bagel place!! I ordered the Southwest Turkey sandwich on the jalapeño cheddar bagel. I also added a layer of scallion cream cheese. The ingredients were all FRESH! The bagel was perfect, not chewy. The have a cream cheese "bar" where you can select various flavors of cream cheese and they have all the typical flavors of bagels. Theres also a breakfast sandwich menu which I will try next time. The service was great. At this time, there is a consistent line out the door, so don't come if youre in a hurry. Give them some grace and patience. Grand Opening is on Thursday April 16. The lobby was busy and full but not a stressful environment at all. The staff is working so hard to get people in and out as quickly as possible. There's seating for only about 20 people. But its spacious enough for waiting room. I hope H&H bagels does very well and stays around for a very long time. read more

The bagels were absolutely amazing. The cinnamon was a little bit hard to chew through, but our other bagels were sooo good. I'm a die hard jalepeno cheddar bagel gal, and I'm so glad they were stocked by the chance we go to order. We waited about an hour to order which is typical for a business that's new, especially during festival weekend. I'm curious to see what the wait time will be in upcoming months. They for-sure need a better ordering system to keep the line flowing. I appreciate all the employees working hard back there to meet a high bagel need in the Coachella Valley. There were plenty of seating arrangements inside, but we took ours to go. Regardless, the bagels were good but hopefully they get the line moving quicker to meet the demands. Thank you :) read more

The food is fresh and made to order, the staff is friendly and warm, the area for improvement is the long wait and inability to order ahead ("skip the line"). After waiting about 35 mins, we stepped up to the bagel area and gave our order to the staff over a tall glass. There were moments because of volume was a little hard to hear, but they wrote it down on a paper bag and then we moved on to pay the cashier and repeated the order. Waited just a few minutes (less than 10) for the food order to be completed and coffee drinks were provided by the cashier. A huge area for opportunity to increase sales volume, increase foot traffic and limit wait time is to remove the inefficiency of telling the order to the staff and having them write it down and retell it to the cashier. Getting an electronic menu and payment system would cut down the long lines leading out door. The food is good, but for the time we waited im not entirely convinced it was worth it although I can say the food was fresh and tasty. There are just other places that have a more efficient ordering system with little to no wait times. I'd love to say I'd go back, but with that long of a line it'd be a hard sell. read more

Bagels were average nothing as described. Service was lacking upon walking in no one greeted us, they were all focused on the online orders. After 10 minutes they finally took our order. Cashier was very rude and short. We had questions because it was out first time there. Dinning area was not clean as they had everyone on the line. This was after noon so upon arrival there was 0 people in line. Once we sat down 15 mins later we got our food. But there was a giant line that ended forming up since no one was taking orders I wouldn't recommend or go back. read more

I'm not sure what the hype is for this place...their bagels are not true bagels. They're spongy and soft without the traditional bagel "chew". Theres no hard shiny outer shell. It's just a soft exterior like a bun. They don't "toast" them normally either. They just seem to warm them because they don't get any sort of crisp from being toasted. The egg sandwich was still decent but I wouldn't go back here if I was craving a bagel. They also got my to go order wrong and gave me an everything bagel instead of a plain whole wheat bagel to go with my strawberry cream cheese... I'm not sure I can eat garlic and onion with strawberry cream cheese lol but I'll try I'll be back if I want a warm breakfast sandwich on bread essentially but wouldn't come here if I'm craving a true bagel. read more

Finally, the Coachella Valley has a bagel spot worth getting excited about. H&H Bagels has brought something that has been missing for a long time, a genuinely solid East Coast style bagel experience right here in Palm Desert. I have been there twice now, and both visits left me with a really good feeling about the place. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming and well thought out. It is not just about the food, which is great, but the overall vibe they have created. The staff is consistently friendly, upbeat, and attentive, which makes a big difference whether you are grabbing something quick or sitting down to enjoy your breakfast. What really stood out, though, was the level of care from the owners themselves. They were actually working the line, welcoming customers, introducing themselves, and answering questions about the menu. That kind of hands on presence makes the experience feel personal and genuine. All around, it feels like more than just another new spot, it feels like something the valley has needed for a while. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. Definitely a welcome addition to Palm Desert. read more

Friday, June 5, 2026 As ex-New Yorkers, my wife and I grew up with H&H. And know what a great bagel is. The new H&H in Palm Desert ... is close to the original and famous H&H in NYC. And we've become weekly customers! PS: Note to Owner: Get a bagel slicer! :-) read more

Absolutely unbelievable. I ordered a sausage, egg, and bagel with avocado plus a cup of coffee through the app, expecting to save time before work. When I arrived, the store wasn't even busy--there were only about 6-7 people waiting. Somehow, it still took nearly 35 minutes to make a single bagel and a coffee. By the time I finally received my order, I was already late for work. But the frustration didn't end there. When I opened my bagel, I discovered they had forgotten the sausage--the main ingredient I paid for. So after waiting over half an hour, being late for work, and spending nearly $20, I was left with a coffee and an overpriced egg-and-avocado bagel that wasn't even made correctly. I can understand a mistake. I can understand a delay. What I can't understand is how an order can take 35 minutes when the store isn't busy and still come out wrong. This experience was a complete disappointment from start to finish. For $20, I expected breakfast--not a lesson in patience and frustration. read more

Bagels are excellent! So fresh and soft on the inside. I bought a dozen to take home to share with my big eaters at home. I did half a dozen asiago cheese and half a dozen jalapeño cheddar. Great choices! We made bagels sandwiches at home for a few days. I also got an iced coffee to go. I love that you can customize your coffee drink at the self serve station. There are about four to five milk choices, and several sweeteners to choose from as well. I'll be a regular. The service is great too! read more

Stopped by H&H today. I typically drive from Rancho Mirage to Townies in Palm Springs to get bagels. I was looking forward trying H&H and enjoy a Jalapeño Cheddar bagel. Unfortunately so was everyone else. They were sold out of those by 8:30 am. Bought a 1/2 dozen of Asiago Cheese and Plain. The bagels were very good. Feedback would be rearrange your ordering line. 90% of the counter area was empty while people waited pre-counter, in line outside. Put your cash register on the opposite side so people can order and move down the line allowing more customers to wait inside rather than outside. Especially before we hit summer. Townies has a good process with even longer lines. read more

I'll give them 3 stars for now for transparency into needing to work out some kinks. First off, the staff is very friendly and service was pretty quick. The bagel (everything bagel with spicy sausage etc.) was just ok. It was not toasted enough. When I was there, there was a line going out the door. So the person waiting at the door has to manage keeping the door closed until it's their turn. And the staff yells at you for keeping the door open. If they plan to be busy all the time, they need to figure out the line system better. The sign with all the items to order is not fully visible while you wait in line. There should be a menu handout or something visible earlier in the line. The ordering system is broken. You verbally order from someone in the start of the queue and then you verbally repeat it to the register again. Flip the line the other way so you order once at the register. They advertised downloading the app all over the store, but the app wasn't fully working. I got my points for my first order by giving my phone number to the nice person at the register. I'll defitely come back and try again after a while to see if they've ironed out some things. read more

I am so happy we finally have a real NY style bagel place in the CV. The only other one that I know of is Townie's in PS, and their bagels are pretty disappointing. The bagels at H & H are wonderful, however the service needs a lot of improvement. Very slow service leading to long lines. Like others have already commented, it would be great if they would have a different line for people just ordering bagels, rather than bagel sandwiches. Many people would really appreciate that. In any case, we will try coming again after another few weeks, and hopefully the service will improve. If not, we probably won't be coming here very often. read more

Great bagels and I love the fact that they use New York water. My lox sandwich was delicious and so was the breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and sausage. All the bagels looked fantastic and fresh.

I was not impressed. I ordered a bacon/egg/cheese on and lox bagel sandwiches. The bagels were hard and dry. They tasted like day-olds. The jalapeño cheddar had no jalapeños.

After patiently waiting three weeks to try the new H&H Bagels, I finally stopped in around 1:30 one afternoon last week and was thrilled to see no line. I grabbed a late lunch and it was everything I hoped for--and more. Having lived in the Coachella Valley for seven years, I've always been surprised that we didn't have a true bagel franchise here. That's why I applaud Brian Murphy for going out and finding the best authentic "New York" bagel and bringing it home to the desert. Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to return--I went back the very next day and bought a dozen!

Bagels: 4/5 | Service: 3/5 | Accessibility: 1/5 The bagels here are actually really good (4/5), but the overall experience has some major kinks to work out. I waited in line for 30 minutes, only to receive my bagel untoasted despite specifically asking for it to be toasted. I had to go back and wait another 10 minutes for them to remake it. Our other bagels ordered were great. The logistics of the shop also need attention. There was a line out the door, and the staff kept yelling at customers to close the door. However, the building only has a standard single door, making it incredibly difficult for people to enter and exit at the same time with that crowd. They really need to modify the entrance to a double door to fix the traffic flow. Hopefully, owner and management can implement some additional staff training and structural updates soon, because the food itself has great potential. read more

Waited in line 30 minutes only to find they were out of the bagels we wanted. If they had smarter management, they'd have updated info in a chalkboard outside so people would not have to waste their time. Also, don't bother with their website or app. Standing outside, I tried to order in advance but the store is not included in their list of locations. I was directed to Echo Park or somewhere in Florida! read more
