Finally tried this place for the first time yesterday morning. After reading the comments and being someone from the East Coast , I think it's annoying people love to complain about the bagel quality out here , like we are not on the East Coast guys. We are in California. Anyways, I've tried a lot of bagel places, and I really think that this is the best I have had out here. The mixed berry cream cheese is delicious. I have tried other bagel shops in this area as well and this is the best spot. Not sure if they are usually short staffed, but the guy in the front seemed really stressed out, but I feel like that's everywhere nowadays and he was still friendly even though he was clearly stressed read more

Great service ! Great food ! And quick! Went in earlier for 3 bagels and a sandwich and they did not disappoint! read more

As a person of a certain persuasion from NY, I have been on a never-ending journey to find a comparable bagel; at least a decent bagel in California. Today, that journey finally came to an end. Inglorious Bagels has done it! Not only are their bagels as good as those from my childhood, triggering instant nostalgia and fond memories of breaking fast and mornings with friends before school, but they have also captured the atmosphere, lingo, and service that creates a truly authentic, NY bagel/deli experience. I had a bialy with garlic cream cheese and an egg sandwich (Latke Loco) on an egg everything bagel with their Mayan Mocha coffee. Everything was perfect and upon first bites/sips, I was transported back to a better, simpler time where I could easily ignore the world around me and give my full attention to the meal in front of me. Mazel tov Inglorious Bagels and thank you for all that you've done and continue to do for those of us wandering through the desert of lackluster bagels, you've created an oasis; a store flowing with coffee with Milk and Hot Honey. 11/10 read more

Great bagel options and sandwiches. Double cheddar jalapeño bagel is where it's at. Plenty of seating outside and parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. read more

This used to be a wonderful place to get bagels, locks and cream cheese. From the last owners that were japanese and a few times here. But the last couple of times I have been there their bagels have contained way too much salt. Consecutively, two times it was just inedible. I haven't gotten up the courage to pay the money to see if the recipe has improved. And it makes me kind of sad because they're so close. But I just wanted to give a heads up and I don't like giving bad reviews. And it's not a bad review. It's just too salty of a bagel. Other than that, they are generous with the locks and it used to be always delicious. But I don't like having to call and complain and then they give you another one that taste the same. That's weird. It has been about six months or maybe nine months. It's the last time I was there, but I can't bring myself to do it again.I just got back from Los Angeles, and there's a Pops bagel in Culver City. That was so good that brought me back to loving locks again. I just gotta find a place locally. Thanks. read more

Love the food and the staff are always friendly. The bagels are super fresh and a lot of unique options.

Love this place! The best bagels in North county IMO. This is my go to spot for office bagels and every time I get them people love them and ask where they're from. I ordered two sandwich platters for a work brunch and they were delicious, and I liked how they were labeled and packed up. The gentleman (I believe it was the owner) that helped me was so nice and helpful. 5 stars well deserved. read more

Holy cow!!! This was mind blowingly good!! While searching for breakfast this place popped. Fresh, tasty, and Jewish! I am obsessed with Jewish bakeries after the lady I follow on tik tok started visiting them and showing what amazing food and bread they offered. Upon arrival the super nice cashier gave me his suggestions which was a #2 Shlemiel with a roasted garlic bagel and since I also wanted something sweet he recommended a strawberry bagel with fig schmear. He went above and beyond which I sincerely appreciate. And man o man am I sad this isn't closer to me. I will be visiting multiple times while I'm here. The inside is super cute and inviting. I was to excited to try and forgot to take a picture read more

the first time I went I got a bagel sandwich and it was extremely light on meat and filling and hadn't returned in awhile. fast-forward 6 months or so my girl brought me a lox bagel and it was so much better. I followed up with another later on and it was pretty tasty aslo. We go to NY & NJ to visit fam, so high standards. Customer service and greeting needs some work but food quality and prep very much improved. Very tasty Everything bagel. read more

Best garlic bagel of anywhere, ever. Love this place. Homegrown and homemade! Their cinnamon sugar is fantastic for the sweet tooth.

outstanding bagels! especially the poppy seed with chive cream cheese . they were sold out of vinaigrette want to go back

First time visiting. Great service and the bagel doesn't disappoint. Will be back for sure

Ok if you don't try this place you are missing a gem in Carlsbad. Bottom line the bagels are insane wow and the price very competitive versus other bagel shops. Their edge is a very diversified assortment of meats ( yeah brisket) that can be added to bagels. Your first bite of your bagel will tell you yeah I made the right choice. Also don't listen to any of the not so nice reviews these people are clueless. Just enjoy the experience. Oh and go next store same owner for the best burgers in Carlsbad tatter tots insane great beer selection at the bar. Bar has enough tv's to view sporting events. read more

Sooooo good. Cinnamon sugar bagel was just for fun on a #1. Prob would have tried a diff bagel. But overall it was amazing, we also got #3 was delicious. We can't wait to be back. The bagels def taste like quality. Service took 20 mins because it was busy around 11:30am on a Saturday. Small tables to sit outside. read more

Great bagels ! Wonderful service . True neighborhood gem . Tried the cinnamon raisin with cream cheese. It was wonderful

I'm very happy to be updating this review. It seems like Inglorious has hit its stride in terms of pacing and quantity. We've been back twice recently and had the garlic, plain & pumpernickel bagels. As a native New Yorker I can definitively say that these bagels taste like home. With plentiful toppings on both sides, crusty exterior & soft interior, they were all delicious. A special shoutout to the often overlooked pumpernickel; I haven't had a bagel taste so good since I left NY. Props also to the hard-working counter staff. Even when it's crowded, they are efficiently, well-staffed and get the orders out really quickly. read more

Hands down best bagels in San Diego area. We are from NY and we buy our bagels from Essa in NYC through goldbelly. While they are not shaped like Essa, IB taste like Essa. Everyone always says "it's the NYC water"...maybe these guys are importing the water from NYC ;-). read more

There is NO such thing as {A} "New York Bagel." There are many versions of New York bagels and the best are within the 5 boroughs. Go on "Gold Belly" and order from ESS-a-BAGEL or Zucker's for $65.00/dz., if you want a New York bagel (just to name 2 styles). OR.... You can go to "Inglourious Bagels" in Carlsbad, CA. I can't say these are N.Y. bagels or New Jersey bagels or L. A. bagels or even Carlsbad bagels, but they are EXCELLENT bagels. Made in small batches w/ high quality ingredients, [nothing frozen and reboiled or rebaked], they ROCK. You will be hard pressed to find bagels like these in San Diego. Stop complaining about the help behind the counter or the high prices. We're talkin' bagels, here! You get up @3:00-4:00am everyday to please your client base. *If you want to save $1.50 go to Einstein or Bruegger's where you can get tasteless, reheated frozen hockey pucks. read more

I'm a little conflicted because I really like the food, the bagels, the smoothies, the coffee however the staff is questionable. I witnessed the two females at the front counter, making fun of customers names which I thought was a silly joke, but then they started to continue mimicking the names and I thought that was very unprofessional. One of the females was making the sandwiches yells out the customer name extends her arm and just says "here ". Again great place to get a bite and snacks but customer service needs serious improvement. read more

By far the best bagels in Southern California. Nothing I have had anywhere else in San Diego even comes close. Usually I'm skeptical of bold claims like that in reviews but trust me, it's the best. The service is super friendly and they're always coming up with new ideas for the menu. I literally got addicted to this place when I first found it. Anytime I'm in the area I still have to go. The Best! read more

The bagels are good but the prices are out of control. Almost $26 for a dozen bagels and then $6 for a small tub of cream cheese, and it's whipped so it doesn't really go far. To get a proper schmear on each bagel, you'll need to buy 3-4 tubs to go with your dozen bagels. Spending $50 on bagels typically isn't something I do. I recommend buying the cream cheese at the supermarket and only having to spend $26 on the bagels. They were good but with the prices so high, I won't be back. read more

The first time I went there was 10 people in line, one cook. I finish a large coffee while waiting. The second time there I ordered a bagel plain. There was so much cream cheese on it I couldn't eat it. read more

Best bagels in San Diego. Comparable to NYC's finest. Great service as well. Went twice this weekend. My new go-to bagel shop.

Delicious bagels! Crispy on outside and soft on the inside. Quick and simple ordering process too. Nice, friendly staff as well! Ordered a delicious iced latte and plain bagel/cream cheese and it was just perfection. Small little shop with lots of seating outdoors. read more

The closest thing to a NYC bagel! Chewy dough meets perfect amount of crunch, so delicious. I got the BEC on jalapeño cheese bagel, with scallion cream cheese and added tomatoes. SOO GOOD! read more

I got horrible service, waited for 20 minutes for a bagel sandwich and was not impressed with the quality at all. My bagel was burned and the tuna salad was inedible. read more

Great Bagels!!! HOWEVER, if you pay by CC and leave a tip on the screen, I heard from two workers on separate visits that the owner keeps a % of these tips but doesn't take a cut when you leave a cash tip in the jar. If true, not right. P.S. I heard from the owner and he assured me the workers receive 100% of all tips. read more

Amazing customer service! Excellent coffee- ask for a sample! Awesome variety of fluffy bagels and sandwich/spreads options including three impressive vegan menu items. Great bagel choices including specialties like cheddar jalapeño everything and a Muenster cheese bagel- yum! My kids Iove the chocolate chip. The Yiddish translation chart and fun menu item names are a blast! Local bagel shop gem. read more

Today was our second stop at Inglorious, but, unfortunately, the result was the same. Bagels were too dense, rubbery and hard to chew. Coaching the staff to be a bit more cheerful would make the establishment more inviting as well. I rank Inglorious behing Bruegger's, Einstein and Garden State, which are all mediocre bagel shops. I really miss those warm and fluffy bagels from back in the day in Philly. I know this shop is new, so I'll wait three months and try again. read more

This my was my first visit since I was craving bagels. They advertise as New York Bagels. I ordered 2 plain bagels with egg and cheese. Sadly they missed the mark. For those wanting burnt bagels. The egg wasn't scrambled. It comes hard boiled fried. Tasteless. I also ordered an additional to go order of a chocolate chip bagel with a side of berry cream cheese. When I got home I received 2 whole bagels and 2 cut in half. I had high hopes but I won't be visiting this establishment again. My go to is Garden State or Bruegger's. read more

This is by far the best bagel shop. I've been to in San Diego county. Really good New York style bagels. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

10 out of 10. This place is two thumbs up. We got the breakfast bagel #2 it was sooooooo good. The owner Randall is also very nice. Gave my kid a free chocolate bagle. Very good customer service. Bagels were so tasty and amazing. My wife cant wait to go back. We tried a bunch of bagels they were all amazing. They taste very high end read more

First time here and I'm impressed. Haven't ordered any of their sandwiches yet but the bagels are amazing. I got them super fresh so maybe that's a factor too. NY style preparation and baking. The young man behind the counter with longish hair was super friendly and helpful. Give that guy a raise! One of my best food experiences in north county read more

Best bagels in the area. I always go early in the morning while they ate fresh before they run out read more

Their cheddar jalapeño everything bagel is the best bagel I have ever had! I loved it!

It's not a New York Bagel, it's ok for a California Bagel but come on. They maybe from NY but it's not as good to be sure, sad to say

Stopped by for a smoothie instead of bagels! We got the green smoothie and it was very refreshing

Love this place. The best breakfast bagel sandwich. Got the jalapeño cheddar bagel and had them do something called the Schmitty or something with bacon. Bagel was crusty on outside and soft on inside. Everything inside it was perfect. Egg was not dried out, bacon was perfect. Cheese was melted. Yum. I highly recommend this place. Young girl with blonde hair helped me and she was just the sweetest thing ever. the last time I was there a young man helped me and he was just the sweetest thing ever. I really enjoy having breakfast here, they have lots of flavors of bagels and cream cheese is so creamy and yummy. I haven't had anything there I don't like. Thank you guys! You rule the bagel world. read more

Good bagels! Crunchy on the outside...soft and warm on the inside This has been a weekend morning go-to spot lately and we have tried the everything, plain, blueberry and even the strawberry bagels (for my sons). Great flavor and good schmears to top with...including unique flavors like habanero, green chilis, fig, and kimchi. Our new favorite local bagel spot! read more

Waited over 45 minutes for a bagel and lox... Unacceptable
