    First-time visitor, but it will definitely not be my last…read more The bagels here are DELICIOUS!! Fresh and filling. My family and I visited about 1100 am on a Monday morning, and most of the bagels were sold out. I plan to be here much earlier the next time I visit. Service was excellent, with very friendly and helpful employees; the bakery was very clean and well organized; and the prices were very affordable.

    I've been coming to Bakery Covina, I love the vibe inside. Unfortunately my most recent visit left…read morea bad impression. The issue wasn't with the food--it was with the cashier's attitude. I ordered my usual bagel with egg, tomato, and double mayo. When I received it, the tomato had been cooked with the egg. At every other bagel shop I've been to, those ingredients are prepared separately unless requested otherwise. When I mentioned that it wasn't what I wanted, the response I got was simply, "That's how I do it," which came across as dismissive rather than helpful. I also specifically requested my bagel be well done. It appeared the sandwich was about to be served without being run through the toaster a second time, and I had to remind her. What really stood out was when I asked for a plastic container so I wouldn't make a mess while eating. The cashier said she had to ask the boss if it was okay, even though the customer before me had been given one without any issue. It felt inconsistent and unnecessary. Overall, it seemed like she didn't want to be there, and that attitude affected the entire experience. Customer service matters, especially for repeat customers. I've enjoyed coming here in the past, but this interaction has me questioning whether I want to return. Update: Unfortunately, after I posted my original review, the experience got even worse. I also ordered a second bagel--an everything bagel with double cream cheese. After starting to eat it, it was obvious that there was nowhere near double cream cheese on it. At that point, it became clear that multiple parts of my order were either misunderstood or not prepared as requested. By itself, a mistake with cream cheese wouldn't be a huge issue. The problem is that it came after the confusion with my sandwich order, having to repeat requests, and dealing with an attitude that made me feel like I was inconveniencing the cashier simply by ordering food. I've been coming to this location for years whenever I'm in the area, which is why this visit was especially disappointing. Between the poor customer service and the repeated mistakes with my order, this was by far one of the worst experiences I've had at this location.

    My favorite local bagel spot!…read more I absolutely love this little family owned and family run bagel shop! My go-to order is the cinnamon sugar bagel with strawberry cream cheese..... it's seriously SO good! I'm a city carrier for the City of Walnut, so whenever I'm working nearby and get the chance, I always try to stop by and grab my fix. At this point, they already know my order when I walk in.... they just have to ask me how many! That's how you know you've become a regular. This place became especially special to me while I was pregnant because their cinnamon sugar bagel was one of my biggest and honestly, one of my only cravings. I would try to make it over as often as I could just to satisfy that craving. I really appreciate supporting a local family-owned business, and you can tell there's a lot of heart behind this shop. Unfortunately, because of the foot traffic and competition in the area, they aren't open all day or every day, so you definitely have to catch them when they're open! If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try. And if you're a cinnamon sugar fan, do yourself a favor and get it with strawberry cream cheese!

    Absolute Bagel Perfection! I can't say enough good things…read moreabout Clearwater Bagels. If you are looking for the perfect crunch-to-chew ratio, this is the spot. The Food: We tried a little bit of everything, and every single bite was a hit: * Everything Bagel: Toasted perfectly with cream cheese, fresh tomatoes, and onions. The seasoning was spot on. * Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel: This had the perfect kick! Toasted with cream cheese, tomatoes, and onions--the toppings were perfectly matched to the savory heat of the bagel. * Honey Bagel: For the sweet tooth! We got this toasted with strawberry cream cheese, and it tasted like a total treat. The Service: What really sets this place apart is the vibe. The guy at the register was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It's rare to find great food paired with genuine hospitality, but they nail it here. Bottom line: The bagels are incredible, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is top-notch. I already can't wait to come back!

They had some really creative donuts. The one I got was a s'mores doughnut and they actually toasted the marshmallow! The service was amazing too. It's a small business done right where everyone is friendly and they do whatever they can to make you happy.

    I had a good experience at Class One Donuts (Glendora). I ordered the Glazed Donut ($2.40)…read more That's EXPENSIVE for a plain donut. Thankfully, it tasted clean and fresh. (Important: Bring Cash. There's a 50 cent fee for Card Transactions under $10.) I arrived at Class One Donuts (Glendora) on a weekend (around 9:10AM). Parking is EASY. The lot is very big. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Staff spoke brightly and with a cheerful voice. Staff helped me immediately. As mentioned, I ordered the Glazed Donut ($2.40). It was slightly bigger than typical donuts, but the taste is very unmemorable. It has clean ingredients, but it also tastes a little dry. Unfortunately, the price point is not very competitive compared to other donuts spots. Similar donuts typically range from $1.75 to $1.95. On ambiance, Class One Donuts (Glendora) is very clean and comfortable. There's a big bottle of hand sanitizer, and there's indoor & outdoor seating. This business looks very well-maintained. Overall, Class One Donuts (Glendora) is a good, pricey spot. There donuts are clean & fresh, and I left with a small smile. 4.4 out of 5

    TRO Coffee sells friendly customer service and caffeinated beverages. I was recommended the Brown…read moreSugar Spice Latte ($7). It's served in a small paper cup. The drink tasted like powdery coco. The subtle caffeine lingered throughout the day. I waited two minutes and 30 seconds. TRO Coffee's barista is the main attraction. I observed how he'd endlessly chat with customers lounging beside the counter. He'd banter and empathize with all the regular patrons. I arrived on a weekend (around 1:20PM). Shockingly, this hidden location had a consistent stream of customers. TRO Coffee's ambiance is an acquired taste. If someone had decorated a mall's parking garage, it would resemble TRO Coffee's interior. Classical/Jazz Elevator Music played in the corner. Customers were casually reading books or lounging with a laptop in this mismatching dusty concrete interior. I also consistently observed staff chatting about limited supplies (ex: no more mocha; lacking black napkins; missing ingredients). Overall, TRO Coffee offers extremely friendly service. Drinks are decent too. It's definitely an experience.

    This place is inviting... but it's important to note that the menu is limited to small batch coffee…read morebeans, coffee drinks, tea, and pastries. Once items run out - that's it. That being said, the vibe is very chill and in many respects smacks of co-op workspace - which is how the rest of the building appears to be used. That said, we each got a pastry, myself a cappuccino (very good!), and my daughter a hot cocoa (also good!). I would have hoped for my jalapeño biscuit to be warmed - not sure if that was available, and I didn't ask. We were well tended, and since we had time to kill we took advantage of the very fun card games. We had a great time!
