Great local coffee/bagel/sandwich spot in the IE. Lots of regulars here during the week. Upon sampling a few different breakfast sandwiches, my recommends would have to be the turkey breast and bacon/egg/cheese. Best of all, they serve Klatch coffee... which for those who do not frequent the IE is one of the up and coming local coffee roasters in SoCal. Service was quite friendly (thank you Mr. Kim) and I would definitely stop in again when in the area. read more

Being a native New Yorker ots not a ny bagel but for California its a decent choice. They make a great egg which sandwich on a bagel. I pickup a half dozen for my Sunday on Saturday as they are closed sundays. Steve the owner is a nice guy I feel he is not assertive enough as he does allow an older gentleman in the store with no mask and he serves himself coffee im not sure what makes this guy so special as everyone else is in a mask. The staff is always so cheerful and overall great people. They know my order and start making it when I walk in which is great. Overall you won't find a better bagel in the inland empire.....not sure why everyone goes so negative they are not perfect but pretty close read more

This has become our most oft repeated breakfast place ever since we moved to Upland about a year ago. Its walking distance from our place and has bagels, smoothies, and coffee!!! The feel of the place is very small-town and unlike a corporate chain. There are lots of places to sit, eat, read, or chat. I usually get the sundried tomato bagel with sundried tomato cream cheese....YUM. read more

Just had a wonderful turkey sandwich on an onion bagel and it was amazing with everything on it. I suggest you do the same and wash it down with a dp. This is a premium spot to hangout. read more

Idk why and how so many people can have negative things to say about this little bagel shop! It's great! It's not super fancy or super new so don't drive a million miles for a bagel but the bagels are DELICIOUS. I like going to bagel shops. This shop is clean, decently sized, has an outside little seating area and they make good sandwiches too. I recommend trying it, I also recommend trying to be nice (: it's just bagels guys. They can't run a whole business pay employees and rent and only charge 1 or 2 bucks for a bagel. If you want cheap bagels make them at home. read more

I love this place, been coming here for over 10yrs. Their staff is always so friendly and amazing. Their mornings are busy and sometimes they're low on certain bagels but you can't be mad! They're so good! Their smoothies and iced coffees are also my favorite. Overall a really good bagel place. read more

Overpriced and not worth it....they aren t good bagels Won't be coming back here. 1st and last time stopping at this place Starbucks is a better option My bagel and cream cheese and a chai small was $10 read more

Finally I found a good bagel place in the IE. They have the standard types of bagels - plain, everything, sesame, etc and a couple unique ones. What sets these guys apart in my eyes is the specialty cream cheeses. They will slather your bagel with cream cheese containing chunks of lox or sun dried tomatoes. Also worth pointing out is coffee selection: light french roasts and snickerdoodle are popular and good. At the end of the day, its not a bagel from Brooklyn but its better than any fast food bagel you can find at a Dunkin Donuts or starbucks. And its fairly priced - everything bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese + large coffee is like $4 or so. read more

Malibu Bagel Cafe - Everything bagel + sun dried tomato cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Upland, California

Excellent selection of bagels and coffee. I recommend the GARLIC bagel and my wife enjoys the lox bagel (she wishes there were capers) Never had the boba or smoothies so I cannot comment on them. The owner is a terrific guy and cares about his customers. It's always been great every time with friendly service. Christian owned which is just a plus and I'm happy to support this business. read more

I L O V E Malibu Bagel. Some of my friends in high school introduced me to this place and it is such a treat to go for a breakfast sandwich (literally drooling thinking about it haha). I make my own bagel sandwich and it seriously is the best (eggwich with bacon, egg, cream cheese, and a tomato slice on an everything bagel). The staff is always super friendly as well which is a bonus :) the only down side is they're closed on Sundays (the day I'm always craving a bagel sandwich). Regardless of price, the food tastes great and I'll happily pay to keep them in business. #SupportLocal read more

Good bagels. They have a pretty good variety. Their sandwiches looked good as well. My only suggestion is to whip your cream cheese. It takes no time at all and makes it way easier to spread. read more

Perhaps this is a snap judgement, but I needed to vent... walked in here for a bagel sandwich at 11:30am on a Sunday morning. They were out of bagels. How does a bagel shop run out of bagels before noon on a Sunday?? I turned around and walked right back out. read more

This place is so pricey for what they offer you ! I got a ham and egg bagel and a ice vanilla coffee came all to 10.18? They charging me $1 extra for adding vanilla on my coffee? Are you kidding me ? Not coming back read more

Malibu club is the best! Everyone is very polite and food is always fresh. Their coffee is from Klatch, and they have a pretty good milk tea as well. read more

My favorite place. 10/10 recommend. Been going there 4 years now! I highly recommend the garlic bread egg sandwich with sausage and the vanilla banana smoothie! read more

My local go-to spot for coffee and/or bagels. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating, prices are very reasonable and everything I've had there has been delicious! read more

This is the last place around town I go for bagels. Sure, 42nd street might have sexist owners, but at least they don't leave your bagel sitting on the counter for 5 minutes while they chat with another customer. Plus the bagels here taste like they were made somewhere else and brought in, slightly better than a bagel you'd get in a cafeteria but I'd go to 42nd street or sals bagelry any day instead. Edit: editing because they messed my order up even though I was the only person waiting when I ordered. IT'S NOT HARD TO PUT THE CREAM CHEESE ON THE SIDE! THREE WORKERS IN A DEAD SHOP AND YOU CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT!! read more

Crazy delicious bagels & friendly service. 5 stars! Bright and clean floors and tables. Great selection and food was served quickly. Conveniently located on the NW corner of Mountain & 16th (Baseline). I had the oven roasted turkey everything bagel sandwich.Perfection. I'll be back for more! read more

Friendly staff, Great bagels & cream cheese. My kids love the sandwiches. Nice seating. Clean I enjoy this restaurant They run out of bagels too quick. Wish made more whole wheat bagels read more

Excellent bagels and coffee. Got an everything bagel with loxs, there was a nice ratio of salmon to cream cheese and the coffee was perfect. Very friendly service, we will he going again read more

I've gone to this place for about 10 plus years... This place always has really yummy food, if you love bagel sandwiches this is the place to go. Typically they have great customer service, but the last few times I've gone there has been a girl at the cash register with the rudest comments and sarcastic remarks it makes me uncomfortable to ask questions, the last time she made fun of my mothers accent with one of her coworkers (who didn't play along too)... owch, that's not nice. I won't be going here for awhile probably. I gave this place two stars for that specific reason and what a shame because everyone else is so nice and the food is so good. I'm going to eat out not only for the food but for a pleasant time. read more

I should have paid more attention to the reviews. The sun dried tomato bagel with salmon cream cheese was extremely mediocre. The bagel was dry and stale. The cream cheese had about 5 tiny flecks of salmon, I kid you not. Not coming again. read more

Malibu Bagel Cafe - Where's the salmon? - Bagels Near Me - Upland, California

Comfy, quiet, place the day I went. I would go back. Seems like a local staple. Drink choices were not teresting for coffee. When we were there, only choices were flavored blends and no straight house. read more

Very hard to find bagel places these days, most of the time it's a donut shop that serves bagels. Nice to find a spot that specializes in bagels, I had a bagel sandwich with Ham and veggies. Instead of mustard and mayo add cream cheese instead. Bomb! Tastes like it's made at home, bagel so soft not hard like other places or in store. So hard to find places to eat these days that's semi healthy and home style, hope this place sticks around and maintains the consistency of quality ingredients as I recently moved to the area so I would like to be a regular here. Cool friendly staff as well, nice quiet ambiance, clean tables and chairs. read more

I researched all the comments and even though there were old complaints about one employee, all said the food was good. So I decided to try!! I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!! Service was excellent, polite and even though the Owner was busy, he helped me with my items out to my car! And the lady in the line ahead said she was a regular for a long time and had yet to be anything but pleased. I bought a Baker's Dozen (13) bagels and the sun dried tomatoes cream cheese and the honey walnut cream cheese took them to my sister's full house with six hungry adults and a picky grandchild. OH MY GOODNESS!! We were all in our yummy place! Bagels were SO FRESH, chewy on the outside soft on the inside. Both cheeses were incredibly delicious. I personally bought a loaf of their sugar free bread made with all natural ingredients. It was soft, tender and flavorful. And I got a boba milk tea which was personally made fresh. I wish I could give TEN stars to negate all those nay sayers. You really must go for yourself like I did. (See pics) read more

Man, I've had such mixed encounters in this place that I am going to break it down into pros and cons. Pros: -Great Foccacia sandwiches (usually). I got a bad one once (I usually order the turkey and sundried tomato). This actually gave me the idea to make my own sandwichs! My family prefers mine over theirs now so I cant comment how they are being made recently. -GREAT smoothies! I crave these once or twice a week now. This is what I usually go here for. I usually order a #2 -They have the little cards that every 11th smoothy/bagel you get a free one. -Average pricing. 4 bucks for a smoothy, 2 something for a bagel with cream cheese. Not bad Cons: -Service can be VERY random! This is the only con but it deserves a little more extrapolation. I came here once and the asian lady (I say asian lady because I do not know her name, only ethnicity, but she looks to be family of the man who owns the place) tried to slight me on my money and questioned me and said I pocketed it. Uh, I don't think so, you gave me wrong change. Fess up and hand it over lady. Also the sandwich taste can very by who is making it. Strange, I know, seeing as how they are the same ingredients but hey, all I know is what my taste buds tell me. Other than that, I would recommend this place for the smoothies, but not the service, and *maybe* the sandwhichs. PROTIP: They do orders over the phone so your food will be ready when you get there. No lines for the win. read more

Went in today for a coffee but their machine was down so no coffee, so I went ahead and ordered a breakfast egg, sausage and Cheese on an everything Bagel. 1)the everything Bagel doesn't have much but garlic on it 2)I saw as they made my scrambled egg in the microwave (no salt and no pepper) 3)they proceeded in placing the frozen sausage patty in the microwave. 4)I have definitely had better bagels and I don't eat many bagels This is truly unfortunately as I live right across the street and wish I had a better experience do I could be happy to come here again. Maybe I'll try a smoothy and be happier next time. read more

Great place! The food was delicious, my friend and I devoured ours in no time. The coffee was perfect and being lactose intolerant it was nice that they didn't charge me extra for soy. My friend is a vegetarian and they catered to that nicely. We both loved the environment and the people that worked there were so sweet and helpful. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Malibu Bagel Cafe - NOM NOM NOM. - Bagels Near Me - Upland, California

This is the kind of Bagel Joint that should be in every neighborhood!! In response to some negative comments: the bagels are LARGE, not small! (unless anything smaller than a frisbee is small to you.) They have a large variety of Bagels, not just a few. The owners and staff are super friendly and you can tell they really care about their business and customers. The Bagels are fresh and delicious and the coffee selection is great and comes from a local coffee company. Great menu and selection of beverages. If you haven't tried this place, and like Bagels, then you need to check it out. read more

I've only been here twice. Their service is dodgy. The first time I came here I ordered my bagel sandwich and smoothie and it was fine. The second time I came here, there were three employees, NO ONE in the cafe, just me, and it took them awhile to even recognize that I'm standing in front of the counter ready to order, let alone say welcome or hello (which never happened). The smoothies are okay, but one "large" is five dollars, which I would rather spend at an actual smoothie place and get more fruit in it. The bagel sandwiches are ok... I've been to OTHER bagel places and they don't skimp out on what they put in. However, their jalapeno cheese bagel is good. Perhaps they should hire people who would actually like to work there, or are efficient in getting things done. There are BETTER bagel places out there than this one. read more

I would like to respond to the recent negative review below (10/11/10): http://www.yelp.com/biz/malibu-bagel-cafe-upland#hrid:AA98pU0R2IO7AH8Dcc4ZBg So this negative reviewer knows the last name of the lady in question?? That's just odd. If they know her well enough to actually know her name, why not cut a little slack, or did the reviewer do some internet research about that? If so, why? Everyone has a hard day now and then, even business owners! I've gone to Malibu Bagel for almost 8 years now, since soon after they opened. They have built the business into a huge success with many regulars. I've gotten my whole family hooked on Malibu, and back when my kids were still in still high school, Malibu was the first job of many of their classmates. The service and the food at Malibu Bagel is always good, even when they are busy - which is a lot of the time - esp. first thing in the morning and at mealtimes. I moved away but always visit Malibu when I'm in town visiting family. I've seen improvements in what Malibu Bagel Cafe offers. They've expanded the menu and the available coffees, as well as the bottled drinks. Their focaccia sandwiches are out of this world, as are the breakfast bagels. I've never known Malibu Bagel to be anything but wonderful: convenient location and parking, wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful casual atmosphere, kind accommodation, friendly manner, what's the problem with someone having a bad day once in a awhile? (Which I believe is what happened.) Cut some slack, and don't write negative reviews for picayune things on what is 99% of the time a very fine business. Malibu is wonderful!! read more

I was craving lox like no other and a smoothie. It was 100 degrees outside. I walked into this place and was very impressed with how clean it was. First impressions are lasting. The lady who took my order was very nice and very helpful. I was not 100 percent walking so after I had ordered I went to move my car closer and she brought out my entire order to my car. That was golden. I ordered a lox bagel and it was delicious!!! The salmon was fresh did not smell bad at all and the bagel was also fresh hot crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The Banana Strawberry smoothie was also so good. It was very cold full of flavor and hit the spot on a hot day in Upland. They also have fountain drinks and premium drinks in the cooler. I also got a Hubert Lemonade and asked for a cup of Ice and straw and was not charged for it. Thank you for the great service and yummy snack I ate on the way home in traffic. My only request is to have capers and cucumber if possible next time :) but I know Covid puts limits on food supply sometimes. read more

I love this place. The smoked turkey sandwich on a jalapeño cheese bagel is amazing!!! I always find myself ordering two of them because even though I'm satisfied with the first sandwich I always want another a few hours later!! The staff is always friendly and the service is great. I don't know where the negative reviews come from. I'd much rather go here than large corp bagel shop such as panera or Einstein bros. A+ in my book read more

I got a plain bagel with honey walnut cream cheese and a caramel macchiato. Bagel and cream cheese were good! The cream cheese was thinner than what I'm used to but the taste was good none-the-less. The caramel macchiato was TERRIBLE. Macchiato means layers, but there were no layers in this drink except an inch of gloppy caramel at the bottom. There was also barely any milk in the drink. It just tasted awful. To the people at this place: a caramel macchiato has vanilla syrup at the bottom, then milk, then ice, then espresso, with a tiny bit of caramel drizzle on top. Also, these two things ran me $8. Seems a bit much for the quality. read more

Went there this past weekend for the first time. Bagel was soo fresh, cream cheese was delicious and coffee was HOT. All employees were very friendly. I don't know why such bad reviews had been given. Will definitely be going back. read more

The foods okay but they're so slow. I really wouldn't want to imagine this place when they're busy. The girls behind the counter are almost counterproductive and literally work at a glaciers pace. A glacier. read more

Great bagels. The Veggie cream chees is good on anything.

Just go here. I am from Philly where we love our bagels and cream cheese, and I am very pleased to have this place close to me! Their sandwiches are delicious and their bagels are served up exactly as you want them. The place is clean w/comfy chairs and all kinds of coffees, teas, and they even have espresso! Yayyy. This place is great. The next time you want a sandwich, or think about getting some fast food somewhere, go here instead and get a good ole homemade bagel sandwich! read more
