Chef Aldo Aguilar absolutely knocked it out of the park! It's rare to find someone who clearly puts…read moreso much pride and passion into something as simple as a bagel, but you can taste the difference from the very first bite. Everything was incredibly fresh, perfectly prepared, and made with attention to every little detail. The bagels had the perfect texture--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside--and the ingredients tasted high quality and fresh. Every flavor worked together perfectly, and it was obvious that nothing was rushed. You can tell Chef Aldo genuinely cares about the food he serves and the experience each customer has. On top of the amazing food, the service and hospitality made the visit even better. It's always refreshing to support a place where the people behind the counter truly take pride in their work. Chef Aldo's dedication and consistency really stand out, and it's the kind of quality that keeps customers coming back. If you're looking for one of the best bagel experiences around, do yourself a favor and stop by. Huge compliments to Chef Aldo Aguilar for delivering an outstanding meal and creating an experience that's worth talking about. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast or lunch. Five stars all the way!

I've been making a conscious effort to support local businesses, so I decided to pick up some…read morebagels from here for a Saturday brunch with friends. The bagels were fresh and there were plenty of flavors to choose from. Our favorite was the jalepeno cheddar bagel. I ordered a baker's dozen along with two tubs of cream cheese (garden veggie and jalapeno). Both cream cheeses were flavorful and paired perfectly with the bagels. The prices were comparable to other bagel chains. There are a few tables outside if you'd like to sit and eat, but most customers seemed to be grabbing their orders to go. Parking was easy since it's located in the same plaza as Home Depot. Service was quick and efficient, even though it was pretty busy on a Saturday morning. I'd definitely stop by again when picking up bagels for a group gathering.

Sure, here's a witty and funny review you can use for the bagel place in Dana Point:…read more --- On the Fourth of July, while most were busy lighting fireworks, I was lighting up my taste buds at the bagel haven in Dana Point! Picture this: a line that stretched out the door like it was Black Friday, but somehow, I was whisked away into bagel bliss in just 15 minutes. They must have a secret bagel teleportation machine behind the counter! I decided to go all out and ordered seven bagels (because who needs moderation on a holiday?). I loaded up on cheese like it was my last meal--seriously, I think I single-handedly supported the dairy industry that day. Now, I had my eye on the bagel dog, but it was far too early for such a culinary adventure. Next time, though, I'm definitely going to tackle that savory beast! The bagels? Fresh, soft, and with a variety that could make even a picky eater swoon. I left with a happy belly and a newfound appreciation for the art of bagelry. If you're ever in Dana Point and in need of a bagel fix (or just want to witness a line that's more entertaining than any parade), this place is a must-visit! So, here's to bagels that make your taste buds dance and your holiday a little brighter. Can't wait to come back for that elusive bagel dog!

All the low star reviews are sadly accurate!!!!!…read more When I first got here I thought, 'wow this place is nice' but then I experienced the horrible, rude, hostile customer service and realized why a nice place can be ruined by bad service = such a shame! I showed up and I was literally the only customer in the store and there were 4 employees so I thought I might get good service (as opposed to all the low star reviews that had bad service) but Nope, not even a 4 to 1 employee to customer ratio could give good service at this store as I interacted with all 4 employees: employee#1) the girl who took my order had no idea what she was doing so employee# 2) the second girl had to help her - she was fine despite me having to pay 2 times since the first time she forgot to charge me for my drink # 3) the younger man with glasses haphazardly threw the ingredients on my bagel sandwich in a hurry and only put cream cheese on one side of the bagel then the toppings on top so nothing was on the top of the bagel the half was just plain and wouldn't even stay together with my lox sandwich employee# 4) the fourth employee was the hostile male manager who yelled at me that if I want cream cheese on both sides of the bagel I have to pay extra money! Like really?!! What kind of crappy bagel store charges extra money to get plain cream cheese on both sides of a lox sandwich???!!!???? I could totally understand them charging me extra money if I wanted more lox (smoked salmon) or even more capers or onions but charging me extra money to put plain cream cheese on both sides of the bagel instead of just one side of the bagel?!? Come on now that is just ridiculous!!!! I even got my bagel without tomatoes so if this bagel store is so cheap and chintzy that they charge extra for cream cheese on both sides of the bagel you'd think I could put the cost saved of not getting any tomato towards the extra cream cheese. But nope - instead I got yelled at about my 'unrealistic expectations' of having cream cheese on both halves of the bagel. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!! Then he finally told me he would do it for me just this one time for free if I didn't give them a bad review but screw that - I will keep my integrity and write my bad review and he can keep his precious hoarded cream cheese that he'd just charge me extra for the next time. But there won't be a next time because I will NEVER come here again and suggest everyone else do the same!

It was already hoppin' first thing in the morning, so we had a great feeling about this spot! We got a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese on an everthing bagel and my hubby and I figured we'd split it. Well, after the first bite of the fresh baked, warm bagel sandwich, I knew it was a mistake that we were going to share. It was so dang delicious! We gobbled up our halves, then ended up ordering another bagel sandwich, plus some extra bagels to take home. I told the guy that helped me the second time that it was our first time there and that we really enjoyed our bagel sandwich so much, that we had to order another one - and he wasn't amuzed. I thought he might enjoy hearing a little positive feedback on how much we enjoyed our bagel sandwich but he wasn't too interested - almost gave me the vibes that he was still half asleep, so that was kind of a bummer! But as for the bagels, these are probably the BEST bagels we have ever had!! Oh, and their coffee was super delicious too! And if you stay there and have your bagel and coffee, they offer one free refill of coffee, which was really nice!! They have tables inside and and a few outside, so just stay and enjoy your bagel and coffee while it's hot and fresh!!

The quality and taste of the bagels have gone down or maybe I expected the quality and taste to go up with the prices. The ingredients didn't appear fresh at all and they did not include cream cheese spread on our sandwiches like the previous staff used to do. Everything tasted bland and... just "yuck" as my kids put it. No bueno. The store was also dirty with crumbs all over the seats and trash on the floor. They apparently don't wipe anything down anymore. We couldn't find one clean table to sit at and they weren't even busy! The previous staff was no longer there. Now, we see very young staff members who aren't as polite and patient. It was as if we were wasting their time. Why do they even bother working at a place like this if they hate human interaction? That was the impression I got when the cashier boy kept walking away to do other things as I was in the middle of ordering like he was annoyed that I didn't have my order ready to give him all in one shot. It wasn't like I was just ordering for myself. I was ordering for two other people. I don't know if this bagel shop is under new management but whoever is running this store needs to re-train their current staff on what "customer service" is. They also took forever to complete our order. This will definitely be our last visit. We spent over 50 bucks for a few bagel sandwiches and a coffee! That's insane. Food sucks, prices suck, and even the new staff sucks. No thank you. I'd rather take my business elsewhere to Laguna Niguel or San Juan when we're craving bagels again. Audios.

Smelled of like any other spot. I didn't order anything. I found it weird while looking over the menu, that the worker there, the cashier (didn't get a name), took a photo of a receipt from the customer before us. As we stood there watching, he got startled. Because of that, I didn't order anything. My friend still ordered something. It was super odd and something just felt off. I have another friend who lives nearby and thought I'd give this place a go bc the friend I came here with recommended it. But nope not coming back due to that suspicious activity. Fraud is real and I have been a victim before. Sooo not a trusting place like this. Pay cash if you can is my honest opinions My friend ordered their bagel with eggs cheese and sausage. And a small coffee. She was worried about that cashier taking a photo of her receipt. I decided not to order from there. I'd rather go elsewhere. The fact that she said she's going to check her activity later to be sure nothing is taken from her account and take her information is a red flag for a spot like this.
