    One of the better bagels in SD, I love Bagels has been around forever and is here to stay. It is a classic new york deli style spot with a ton of bagels, sandwiches, coffees/teas. You can't go wrong with these bagels, they are always consistent, delicious, and well priced. I would've liked a bit more toasting on my bagel but it was delicious either way.

    The bagels are so delicious! The coffee is excellent, with several choices. I love the East Coast vibe of this restaurant. My favorite thing to order is the breakfast bagel with cheddar cheese and Taylor ham a.k.a. pork roll. They don't sell pork roll many places so if you love that then this is the place to come. It's usually pretty busy in there, but the orders come quickly. They have plenty of workers.

    SO glad I came across this place. I always see it passing the 76 freeway, and finally got to try it. Food - Bagel sandwich is exactly what I wanted in one. Being able to select your cheese is great, and the customization is awesome. It adds time to the time, but that's okay. Service - VERY friendly and very helpful. And everyone working there on a busy Sunday morning looked like they were hustling. Ambiance - Can be a quick takeout spot or you can sit down on one of their patio tables or few tables inside.

    Parmesan and spinach bagel, well, half a bagel! Yum!

    Stopped by a local bagel shot this morning, Great set up at this shop, waiting are, separate order pick up area, inside seating, coffee prep area away from the front with flavored creamers, half and half, 2% milk, and sweetener packets. Fast service and fresh bagels smeared well. Oh, fresh squeezed OJ too! Worth a stop, nice lunch menu too!

    Veggie sandwich (everything bagel, no cheese). Comes with a side (i chose bag of chips)

    As a vegan, it's pretty hard for me to find good "quick" breakfast options, but I was lucky to find that I Love Bagels serves a delicious veggie sandwich that can be made vegan!!! I got an everything bagel with all the fixings (no cheese, no mayo) and it even came with a bag of chips. Service was friendly, and food came out quickly despite it being very busy on a Monday morning! I decided to dine in, and was lucky to grab a table. There are about 6-7 tables with chairs indoors, a sofa in the waiting area, and about 2-3 tables with chairs outdoors. The place felt very home-y: it seems like the type of place that has a lot of regulars which is rare in a world full of fast food chains. The owner was even walking around and talking to some fellow customers. I had a great time here, and hope to come again! I Love I Love Bagels!!!!!!!!

    Pastrami, breakfast sandwich on and everything bagel

    This place is amazing. The bagels are the best I've had in San Diego County and I think that's because of the two people that run it that are a nice couple from New Jersey. They've been doing us a long time and they know what they're doing.

    Great bagels in this small modest store front. The staff at 6:00 a.m. this morning was extremely helpful and cheery. We like the jalapeño cheese bagels. Our friends in Palm Desert "the bagel experts" love these bagels. We have nothing like this quality in the desert. So we stop here every time we're in Oceanside. Oh and by the way don't forget the cream cheese, the jalapeño is our favorite.

    Where to begin, this place is AMAZING! I love a good sourdough bread, whether rolls, loaves or…read morebowls and this place has it all! It took me a minute to really decide what I wanted and now I'm craving to come back. I am not surprised how busy it was when we arrived. It definitely confirmed this place is really good. We ordered the cranberry turkey sandwich, Italian and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup to share with an extra side order of sourdough. The sourdough alone was phenomenal. Crusty exterior with a fluffy interior that just melted! I think I scarfed down my sandwich a little too quickly because everything was balanced so well, and the bread absolutely divine. The soup was also great, and paired extremely well with the sourdough bread. I wished there was a location closer to me, however if I'm in the area I will always opt to come here!

They have a nice variety of hot and…read morecold sandwiches like turkey and avocado, roast beef, classic Italian, and vegetarian options, all served on delicious sourdough. The cranberry turkey sandwich is absolutely delicious! They even have different soups and salads too. You can also buy loaves of baked bread to take home, which is always a good idea. I recommend the par-baked baguette, so you can take it home and enjoy it extra warm! Ordering ahead is easy and definitely saves a lot of time. The only downside is the parking lot, it's small and not the best, but there is parking available. Overall, well worth a visit for a quality sandwich. The location has ample seating inside and is always clean.

Pastrami Ruben- my favorite of this order, really just delicious. Italian- delicious and messy, very classic. Chocolate chip cookie- good, would like it baked with a bit more salt but no major complaints. Clam chowder- I hate how good this is, I really hope it's from scratch .

One of the sandwiches came with everything listed on the…read moredescription on the website, but apparently for the other sandwich you are expected to individually select each ingredient that's already listed in the description yourself or else they won't add it to the sandwich. It really doesn't make sense as to why I would be expected to do this for one sandwich and not the other. I drove all the way back to the restaurant and was patient even when they told me about this inconsistency on the website. However, my main disappointment regarding this experience comes from the staff trying to tell me the original sandwich I received was correct. Apparently the website voids every ingredient that is supposed to come on the sandwich when you pay for extra add-ons, however my original sandwich was STILL missing the add-ons I paid for (avocado and cheese) and included the skimpiest amount of bacon, even though I paid for 3X bacon. On top of that, the size of the bread was half that of my other sandwich, which is supposed to be the same size. The girl at the counter tried to tell me it was because my other sandwich had more veggies (even though they were both supposed to have the same amount) but I really don't think that should affect the size of bread they give you. I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of accountability and the staff trying to convince me my sandwich was right when we were all looking right at it. It honestly was just the weirdest experience because they were all staring at the open face sandwich trying to tell me it had the ingredients I paid for. Even if they claim I was supposed to add the original ingredients manually myself, it STILL was missing the extra add-ons they charged me for. It was extremely odd that they kept going back and forth with me instead of admitting their mistake, so I decided to let it go. Lastly, the person whom I'm assuming is the manager re-wrapped the original sandwich for me and said he would make me another one and I could keep the first one. When I went to leave, the girl at the counter gave me grievance over taking both home, as if she either wanted it for herself or she was planning on recycling the ingredients for the next sandwich which I really hope wouldn't be the case for other customers' sake considering I literally took it home and brought it back to show them. Overall just a very weird customer service experience. Would not recommend.

You can tell he takes pride in the store and in his team. The young people working for him are polite, hardworking, and really know how to deliver great service with a positive attitude. It makes the whole experience that much better. If you're looking for a reliable spot for a delicious, fresh sub made quickly by a great crew, this is the place.

But we were at Lowe's so we tried it. It took way too long to make our food. I ordered 2 sandwiches while we were still shopping, the lady ahead of us took forever to pay and we had a full cart plus I walked over and I still had to wait for at least 10 mins past promise time. My husband and I both thought our food was not very good. He usually gets a chipotle mayo and for some reason I think they put it in a cup on the side? I got the chicken cheesesteak like I always do and since I get it in a bowl I was happy to see the bacon was chopped when the other location doesn't do that. However the entire thing was just terrible for some reason. I believe it was the chicken. I was afraid it might not have been cooked or maybe it was overcooked. Coming here and seeing someone got food poisoning off the hot sub makes me worry but it's been a few hours and I feel ok so maybe it's fine. The prices are also lower here than north River for some reason but I will never come back to this location
