This place was going off on a Sunday! I had this on my list for a while and decided to swing by when I was in the area. Around 930am and line was pretty much out the door. This place is serious about their New York bagels it's pretty much just bagels; they serve some brew coffee and a fridge for drinks but the bagels are their sole focus. Onto the bagel- I've never had it from New York but this bagel makes me want to book a trip asap. It's so fluffy and fresh and everything you want in a bagel. I'll say that there are some bagel spots that are adventurous with their culinary toppings. This place sticks to the tried and true sandwich combos. I got the bec (bacon, egg, cheese) but with ham. It was good and basic, seasoned w salt and pepper, but that bagel really made the sandwich for me. What I love about this spot is how dog friendly it is! There's a treat jar at the counter and they converted part of the sidewalk space to a little grassy spot for the pups. Parking is street parking but I did notice a sign for ADA spots in the back of the spot. I got it to go but seating is limited due to how popular it is. The patio has the most selection &; tables. There's a handful of spots inside but you'd be sitting in between all the ppl ordering/ waiting for their meal. My advice would be to try to go during one of their slower times. On a popular Sunday morning it was about 15min in line to order, then 15-20 min wait. I was in no hurry and grabbed a latte next door while waiting, but close to an hour for a bagel might be a lot for some read more

Super cute and cozy bagel spot in North Park. There are a couple indoor tables and a small amount of parking spots right outside. There is ample street parking as well. It was pretty pricy for some basic bagel sandwiches. Even the veggies on the lox bagel had an upcharge. I was also hoping to add cream cheese to my bacon, egg and cheese but they said they are unable to add that on. The taste was decent, but not the best bagel sandwiches I've had. read more

Went for a Saturday morning breakfast and luckily breezed right through the line, because by the time we reached the counter, it was out the door and down the stairs. They offer a great variety of bagels and schmears, along with several signature sandwiches, or you can build your own. The wait after ordering was about 15 minutes, and everyone behind the counter was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The breakfast bagel we ordered was loaded with delicious bacon, and the bagel itself was perfectly soft and chewy. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Seating is limited, but tables turn over pretty quickly. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

Marigold Bagels - B.E.C. - Bagels Near Me - San Diego, California

Last Thursday, my daughter, my husband, and myself decided to hit Marigold's bagels to celebrate my husband's birthday. He is a huge bagel fan. Construction was happening on the street right in front of the restaurant so we parked around the corner and walked through Madeline's patio to get there. That was a little awkward, but nothing that was Marigold's fault. Just know that parking is an issue even without construction. We placed our orders and found a seat. When our name was called, I picked up the order came back to the seat, divvied out everybody's order, open my box and noticed that mine was incorrect. Now the woman that rang me up was very nice. I tipped the highest on their iPad. And my order was wrong. This happens more often than not now and it makes me reluctant to want to tip if you're not going to fill the order correctly and then I have to wait for it to be fixed. They were nice about it, but it's so annoying and it's becoming a problem everywhere we go. The bagels were good and if I didn't need to drive there, I would probably go more often. I am surprised that they did not have coffee drinks like lattes, etc. just drip coffee. And juices. It seems like in this day and age every little restaurant has baristas as well. So if you just want a bagel and drip coffee or some kind of juice Marigold is your place. read more

Marigold Bagels - Asiago bagel with chive cream cheese and heirloom tomato. Homemade pickles. - Bagels Near Me - San Diego, California

The long awaited bagel stop in north park came very close to the bagel shops in New York I'm used to. They have a plethora of bagels and shmears--personally I really enjoyed their seasonal ramp shmear (garlic/onion flavor). They are filled very well, great flavor and people behind the counter. Things to note, however, are they have very limited seating inside and out, no coffee drinks and they will not let you customize. I think the biggest shock and disappointment was the customization since building a bagel sandwich to what you want is the best part. Though they let you pick your bagel and shmear for a plain, cold sandwich option they do not let you do that for any of the hot sandwiches. For example, you can't add any veggies to a BEG or a shmear even though they are already customizing the cold sandwiches. If you're wanting seating or a drink you can go next door to Madeline's ! read more

Great spot the staff was so friendly and very inviting. Lots of places to sit inside and outside. The food was awesome. The bagels were a little on the harder side for me but the pricing was very competitive and inexpensive for the area so a great option for breakfast! If you get a hot sandwich to go, they wrap it in foil and even 30 minutes. It was still extremely hot. read more

Good bagels, fast and friendly service. I did not like the everything bagel. The topping tasted burnt, but the texture was great. The scallion smear was very good on the bagel. There is only street parking available, so you might have to drive around a bit. read more

I'm a bigggg bagel fan and these definitely hit the spot. I ordered the white fish on a jalapeño cheese bagel, and it was absolutely amazing! The white fish salad was creamy and decadent with melted cheddar and dill on top, and the bagel was so light and airy on the inside with the perfect crunch on the outside. Would've been extra fire with a side pickle or capers to cut through the rich fish, but overall a 10/10. The staff were friendly and gave great recommendations. Although the seating area is pretty generous, this place can get pretty packed so be prepared to wait in line. So so worth it , especially if you love bagels as much as I do :) read more

Let me start by saying that I am not some bagel connoisseur so I wouldn't necessarily know the difference between an excellent or mediocre bagel. I do like a bagel from time to time and I have had east coast bagels before so I understand how delicious they can be but I don't go out of my way to seek a bagel. I heard that this spot had a lot of hype due to it selling out from a farmers market but wasn't in the area until recently. I came around noon and there was barely a wait. I didn't necessarily want a sandwich so me and my partner ended up ordering four bagels (two everything, one garlic and one bagel) and two different 2 oz spreads to try (lox/dill and jalapeño cheddar). There was a mixup in the ordering so the cashier was nice enough to provide us with an extra spread just cause (chive spread). Perhaps it was the time of the day but unfortunately all the bagels we tried were somewhat dry (both inside and outside). They explicitly write within the store that they don't have a toaster so unfortunately there wasn't a way to warm them up. In comparison to another hyped up east coast bagel shop that opened up just before them in San Diego (Popup Bagels in La Jolla) the difference in texture is noticeable as all the bagels there come out fresh. One note though: the Asiago bagel here has a whole layer of cheese versus a normal bagel shop that would just sprinkle the cheese for their Asiago bagels. Even with the lacking texture I could tell there was a super prominent cheese flavor that made it highly enjoyable. As for the spreads I did like that you could get multiple smaller options if you want some variety and they were all delicious. If I had come earlier in the day and the bagels were still fresh I probably would have enjoyed it more but unfortunately the texture made it feel like a bagel I could just get from the grocery store. The Asiago bagel makes me feel like they really do have something good going here but unfortunately this visit fell short for me. read more

Marigold Bagels - Bagels Near Me - San Diego, California

As a former NYC resident, I was so happy to see the new wave of bagel spots in SD that are focusing on NY-style bagels. Marigold is one of those that I've been wanting to try even before their brick and mortar was established. We got the Crown Heights, a classic salmon, cream cheese, and the works and the BEC -- two items that would be hard to miss at any New York bagel spot. I was surprised that they were very adamant about the bagel for the salmon one not being toasted though so be prepared that this is more of a cold sandwich. Both items were delicious and fairly priced. The schmear is plenty and very pertinent to what makes it authentic. They have a variety of bagel and cream cheese flavors to choose from. A good spot to get bagels from and we'll be back! read more

The bagels had a great chew to them! I really enjoyed eating it, but didn't BLOW my mind. Also, I was really hoping to get a BEC sandwich and they were all out of eggs. Next time I will go earlier because I would love to try that and maybe try a more fun cream cheese! I got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. The seasoning blend on the everything bagel was great. The inside of the place was so cute and has a little fireplace with seating. The employees were so friendly, it really felt like a family establishment! read more

Marigold Bagels - Everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - San Diego, California

My friends and I walked there on a Saturday morning and the line was already out the door! It's a busy place, so expect to wait a bit. There's a few indoor tables and couches as well as an outdoor patio. B.E.C. with Salt Bagel - A classic and my go-to breakfast bagel. The bacon was thick and eggs were fluffy. It was definitely filling but almost too salty from the salt bagel. The Jersey Girl - I didn't try it but my friend got it and liked it. She kept half and ate it later and it was still good! The bathroom was pretty yucky. There is just stalls and sinks, so co-ed, and is also by the opened-back door so I felt like anyone could just go use it. Half the toilets were clogged and the ones that were open had no toilet paper. read more

Marigold Bagels - B.E.C. on a Salt Bagel - Bagels Near Me - San Diego, California

Marigold Bagels about 3 weeks ago, opened shop on El Cajon Bl blocks away from swanky LaFayette Hotel and I had to try their claim of fame New York style bagels. Metered Street parking available. The interior dining area had a brick fireplace, seating and with pitched ceiling of exposed wood made the inside appear more spacious. Outdoor, indoor seating and pup friendly. Was greeted by friendly staff, placed my order for 3 bagels: Asiago, Sesame and Z'aatar. Hungry and Curious I also ordered a bagel sandwich called 'the crown heights with smoked salmon, cream cheese, all the veggie toppings and sliced in half. The wait wasn't bad, a staffer brought out the bagel sandwich with a smile and I did notice she had gloves, in fact she was the only staffer wearing gloves. The rest of the staff, while Kneading, Rolling the dough were also on their cell phones NOT wearing gloves, I have the photo receipt for proof! The staff needs to be more conscientious about their work being out in the public's eye where everyone notices everything especially cleanliness. After taking pics, I take a small bite of the sandwich and the bagel was cold and hard NOT toasted :( I asked if they could redo the sandwich and toast the bagel and they said they do not ever toast and they don't have a toaster :( I took the bagels and left, feeling disappointed and now more hungry. The following morning, I sliced the Asiago cheese bagel, toasted it and tried it with a little Kerrygold Irish butter and it tasted good and also tried the Z'aatar bagel, sliced and toasted with a schmear of Whole Foods cream cheese and it was also good. Would NOT say it's the best New York style bagel I've had because that bite of that cold hard sandwich made a bad impression, so Marigold Bagels needs to invest in a toaster asap. Turns out, after reading some previously posted reviews, I'm not alone on that complaint. Marigold Bagels first started selling bagels at Civita Farmers markets, Little Italy Farmers markets and this shop is their first physical store, so with growing pains there's much needed room for improvement... read more

Finally tried their brick and mortar location and the bagel quality is still incredible. Expect a bit of a line on weekends, but still nothing compared to the long lines they used to have at farmers markets. Added tomato to the bagel and cream cheese and it added a nice freshness to cut the richness of the cream cheese. The garlic chive cream cheese is still to die for. read more

We got here bright and early and there was only two other people in line. We ordered the lox on a jalapeno cheese bagel. We added veggies and the heirloom tomato. We also got an everything bagel with white fish. The white fish was overpowering and salty. We weren't sure if the bagel was overly salty or the white fish but I wouldn't recommend. It was super mushy and needed something like onions or capers to cut the fishiness. The lox was okay but the veggies made the bagel soggy. Overall these are okay bagels. Great compared to most bagels you will find in San Diego but does not live up to the hype. read more

Marigold Bagels has taken over the space of a former North Park brewpub on El Cajon Blvd after being a viral hit at a local farmers market. When the doors first opened, the products sold out quickly to the point in which only pre-orders were being accepted, and no walk-in customers were allowed. The business had to temporarily shut down to recalibrate the production process. After reopening, the lines have still been long, and most days the place has closed early because the daily inventory had been emptied. I finally visited on a weekday mid-morning and found there were only two customers ahead of me. I even located an open curbside parking space a few doors down the street. In front of the suite were some tables for outdoor seating. The inside had maybe three tables, one of which was set in front of a fireplace. The kitchen preparation area was visible on the left when you walked in. A menu board hung on a wall to the right of the service counter. Next to the counter was a display case with all of the bagel types on display. What I liked was that you could buy any of the ten different bagels individually or as a bag of six or twelve. On a side note, no money was saved by purchasing a bag. Seven kinds of spreads were available, and they could also be bought as an 8 oz container. The sandwich section of the menu had four active choices as three other options were marked as unavailable. My order consisted of three bagels (Asiago, Onion, Sesame) and a container of Garlic Chive spread. The first one incurred a $0.50 surcharge because of the cheese crust. The local bagel game has really stepped up over the past year with several new entries into the SD market. What made this shop so good was the hand-rolled bagels that were chewy and soft. For the price, the size was reasonable, and the seasoning applied to the exterior was generous. The fact that you could order a bagel with cheese, salmon, salad, or veggies as toppings in a sandwich was a bonus. I enjoyed each of my three choices exactly how they were made. The creamy, herby spread was icing on the cake (bagel) so to say. Of the newer bagel businesses I have tried, Marigold gets my highest rating. read more

Marigold had some stumbles at the beginning but are figuring things out and rolling out new items and expanding their offerings week over week. We arrived to a line at 8am on a Sunday which moved fairly quickly for a bunch of people who hadn't looked at their menu before. We ordered a salt, everything, jalapeño cheddar, Asiago, and a sesame bagel. We purchase two small sides of cream cheese (garlic chive and scallion) to try while we dined there. The salt bagel with scallion was very good and the jalapeño with garlic chive was very tasty. Marigold is seasoning their dough nicely and the bagels taste just as good the next day, which is a true test for me. These reheated well and maintained their integrity and flavor. read more

After a month of trying to make it in, I finally made it...and they did not disappoint! There's a nice outside patio in the Blvd. to people-watch while you enjoy your bagel, otherwise, inside is nice and open with a few table and cute fireplace with a nice hearth. Staff is kind and welcoming, I was warmly greeted by the bagel-making crew as I entered, which was nice. I tried their #1 The Utopia (bagel + cream cheese) -- sesame bagel + scallion spread. Bagel was lightly toasted and slightly chewy, which was perfect! The scallion cream cheese was yummy and creamy, not overly oniony -- just right. I added sliced tomato, which elevated this to a perfect meal! The cool sweetness of the tomato with the oniony creaminess of the spread on the sesame covered bagel, with its slight chewiness, was absolutely delightful. Looking forward to trying one of their breakfast sandwiches next. *Small parking lot behind building w/accessible parking and an accessible entrance. read more

Marigold Bagels makes some really terrific bagels. When it comes to a great bagel, yes the flavor is important, but to me it is all about the chew, and Marigolds' Bagels offer a wonderful unforgettable chewy texture. I picked up an Asiago and a sesame bagel, including a hot cup of black drip coffee. The bagels are $3.50 each but .50 cents more the cheddar jalapeno and the Asiago, as of 1/26. The Asiago bagel was delicious and had a great chew. I loved that they did not hold back on the asiago cheese and the way it crusted on the bagel. The sesame bagel also came with an abundance of toasted sesame and tasted great. The service was up beat and friendly. They offer some inside and outside seating. I look forward to trying some of their other flavors. read more

3 words- RESPECT THE SCHMEAR. ended up waiting over 15min to place my order(totally fine! I'll wait for food). Ordered from here a couple times before. My last 'the village' bagel was cold& soggy from all the olive oil drenched on it. - so this time! I asked to please add light oil- in which they responded 'that's where the flavor comes from', mind you, this bagel is loaded with veg and capers... Anywho, Ordered, waited another 5-10min for an over baked poppy bagel with a sloppy amount of capers, wilting dill, & a scarcely THIN layer of cream cheese I'll have to make myself scarce for a while. very disappointed in my most recent visits. read more

Whenever we travel, we're on a mission to find a true New York-style bagel, and Marigold Bagels did not disappoint. We finally found that "East Coast" texture right here in San Diego! The bagels are exactly what you want: a crisp exterior, a dense, chewy inside, and that signature small hole. You can even watch them being hand-rolled in the shop, which explains the quality. My only minor gripe was that they were sold out of plain bagels (my usual gold standard) by the time we arrived. We tried the sea salt instead; while the texture was perfect, it was a bit too salty for my personal preference. Definitely coming back early next time to snag a plain one! read more

Best bagels west of the Mississippi. Trust me on this. You may have to get in line early, but it is worth it. Vegan-friendly. Aside from the obvious (asiago and jalapeno-cheddar), the bagels are vegan. I'll have to try that West Village sandwich one of these days. Whoa, just saw that they have Vegan Spread! That's next on my list. They have three parking spaces in the adjacent lot. Metered/time-limited parking on El Cajon. Very limited parking in the surrounding neighborhood. No toaster. Toast them at home! Did Mike get his PhD in Bagelology? P.S. Try their homemade pickles. read more

Food- We ordered the everything, jalapeño cheddar, and Asiago bagel. For cream cheese, we ordered the jalapeño cc and plain cc. Both combinations were extremely delicious. Unfortunately, we were limited to order take out due to the holiday season. However, the bagel and cream cheese were handmade with love. Service- The lady at the register was extremely kind, and helpful with narrowing our options. She made our experience run smoothly, and efficiently. Her energy was inviting--exactly what customers look for when trying a highly reviewed place. read more

Finally open! Welcome to North Park Marigold Bagels!! After three attempts, I finally got to try Marigold. Came around 8am on Thursday morning and was able to order in less than 10 minutes. Ordered half dozen for $21 and based on the super nice cashier's recommendation, I got the garlic chive spread to go with it for $8. Everything is my go to bagel, but the Za'atar was something new and delicious that I tried. Bagel had great bite and chew outside with the right amount of soft inside. Really enjoyed the bagel and can't wait to keep coming back. read more

The BEST bagel in San Diego (and possibly ever). This place is truly amazing and the bagels are made with love. So happy to see Mike open up a storefront and grow from the farmer's market days. Every bagel is delicious. You know it's a great bagel when you don't need to toast them, you can rip them and eat them alone and just dip them in cream cheese. The texture is on point. Not only are the bagels yummy, but the cream cheese is FRESH and has amazing texture as well. Update: Bagels can get hard after a few days, pop them in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to achieve softness again! read more

So excited for Marigold to have their storefront open! They've kept the number system going where you pick a number and order when it's called. It's just like a deli vibe. They have a full menu with sandwiches and their traditional bagels with cream cheese. They're still new of course, so very popular! Be prepared to wait a bit for your order unless you're just ordering a bag of bagels to go. Everyone serving us were very kind, friendly, and calm amidst the crowd of people. It was a great experience all around! read more

Excellent bagels, long line to be expected but great service and vibes. I attending the opening day release of their store and was expecting a long line. I've heard only good things about these bagels and was excited to finally try them. The line was long and not moving very fast with a 2 bagel limiting on opening day. We ended up waiting 2 hours for bagels. We got one sesame bagel and one plain. We also did two crown heights which were filled with delicious lox. The bagels themselves were good. Mine was a bit overcooked and burnt. But with all the opening day hustle and bustle I'm sure that effected the quality. I would for sure come back will wait for the hype to die down as 2 hours for a bagel is insane but it was I signed up for and I imagine it will only get better over time. read more

I had been trying to pick these up since their pop-ups at farmers markets and unfortunately they always sold out before I could get some. Today I was finally able to grab some during their grand opening at their physical space in North Park. The wait was about 2hrs and 20 minutes (waiting in line to receiving my order) and they were limiting to 2 bagels per person (at least by the time I made it to the front). They could have definitely taken more precautions to speed up the system, but it's also difficult to keep up with the demand created by social media hype. As for the bagels: overall, they are good bagels, but a few of them felt old/not fresh. I tried the Onion, Everything, Asiago, and Sesame bagels, as well as the Garlic Chive and Scallion cream cheeses. I would rate the bagels (from best to not as yum): Everything, Asiago, Sesame, Onion. The Everything included the sesame seeds + more so I think it is an automatic choice between those two. The Asiago had a solid cheesey flavor to it, which "cheese" bagels sometimes lack imo. Between the two choices of cream cheese I tried, the flavor differences felt very minimal, so either one will do. I will say, I wish the bagels had more cream cheese, especially the one I ordered with just cream cheese. One cool thing is that each bagel came with a small pickle on the side. The pickle was just okay, not pickley enough, but free alas. Bagel prices were reasonable overall, but the lox really up the price, a bit too much for the amount you get. The one thing I cannot get over was the grapefruit juice, which comes from a local farm. Yes the juice was good, NO the juice is not worth $7. Having seen the size prior to purchasing, I decided to go ahead and try it, so you wouldn't have to. The space is tiny but homey, and I'm sure it will become a North Park staple. Overall final verdict: tasty, but not worth waiting in line for... I would suggest waiting a few weeks for the hype to (hopefully) die down! read more

I came here on a Saturday around 9:30 AM and the line was already out the door. I waited about 15 minutes to order and another 5 minutes for my food. There are a few seats outside and some tables inside, but it's a pretty small space. I ordered the BEC bagel on a garlic bagel. It was just okay and very messy. It definitely wasn't a New York-style bagel and didn't have any real wow factor. Overall, it tasted more like a fast-food breakfast sandwich than something special. I asked for the order to be for here, but it was made to go. The staff members were super sweet though, and they even had dog treats at the counter for pups, which was a nice touch. Parking is street parking only, which can be a bit tricky. Overall, there were just too many inconveniences and wait time for something that wasn't particularly special. Unfortunately, it's not somewhere I'd come back to. read more

Marigold Bagels - BEC on Garlic Bagel - Bagels Near Me - San Diego, California

NEW YORK SOUL WITH SAN DIEGO HEART (4.25 stars) They do bagels right! - BAGEL: pretty good - PRICE: depends what you order (I spent ~$24 on a bagel, some spreads, and a tiny drink) - SERVICE: wonderful - AMBIANCE: cute shop with some indoor/outdoor seating Is it worth the hype? No. BUT is it worth the visit, Yes! Once sold out, it's sold out for the day - that includes bagels, toppings, etc. Menu is solid - variety of bagels (savory) to choose from, toppings, cream cheeses, but very limited beverages to select from. Seeing the bagels, they weren't just "everything" bagels, they were EVRYTHING bagels, they weren't just poppy seed bagels, they were POPPY SEED bagels... the flavor just screams boldly (like a true New Yorker). They look fashionable polished with their exterior. :: ORDER :: THE CROWN HEIGHTS ($16) - bagel, cream cheese, salmon. This was the most expensive item on the menu and although I wasn't craving nor care for a lox bagel... I just ordered this to order it, knowingly I am always content with a plain bagel and flavored creme cheese. I ordered a PLAIN bagel so I can really taste the bagel without all the flavoring since the spread of layers on top is also flavorful (regular Nova salmon, went with garlic chive crème cheese, added capers and a little picked red onions). I think the flavors I picked really blended well together but felt this in itself was a bit much for my appetite and my wallet. This was to be eaten like a sandwich. I would have preferred they thinned out the cream cheese and spread it on both sides of the bagel as oppose to one side. I did dismantle part of my bagel sandwich and ate just the bagel (alone) and then the bagel with crème cheese and were content with just that! The bagel, itself, was legit! Best plain bagel I've had in San Diego. It's doughy and chewy with the right amount of density. I really could have eating the plain bagel as plain as can be and be happy with that. Looks like I know what I'm ordering next visit - bagel and basic cream cheese. ITALIAN LEMONADE - came in a 1/2 pint super tiny container made locally at a farm in Center Valley. This was a mix of blood orange and lemonade. tasty but felt I needed a big glass of water afterwards. I forgot the price but don't think it's worth what I paid (my bagel was 16, plus tax, and my full bill was ~24, so I'm thinking I was charged ~4/5 dollars. Will def be back when craving a bagel! Until the next review... read more

not fantastic but not bad either. $6 for cream cheese scallion, $10 for bacon egg cheese, $15 for novalox i believe. semi crispy outside but inside very bready.. to the point it was too chewy for me. just average is best way to describe it. Price point a tiny bit high but more or less fair. Would eat it if it was in fromt of me but wouldnt go get it again. 6/10, would come once in a blue moon maybe. read more

The interior is cute and cozy and there is patio seating as well-- customers were all interacting with each other outside which was a really cool community feel. The bagels are served cold but they were so chewy and flavorful, and I love that you can add veggies to your bagel and schmear! I added cucumber to my garlic and chive spread, and it was super yummy. Not too expensive either. Will definitely be back! read more

A lot of people were getting sandwiches which was the reason for the line but if you just ordered bagels you were in and out pretty quick.

As someone who doesn't consider themselves a big bagel fan, these are the best bagels I have ever had. They were not stiff or incredibly dense, but actually very moist and always tastefully paired.

I have been here seven times and only able to order bagels three times because of lines and greedy people. I don't want to get into those circumstances because I do love the bagels, but only one specifically the sesame bage. The sesame bagel is really covered in sesame's top to bottom and you can't find that anywhere. I literally have a picture of BCBG sesame bagel against theirs from the same day and it's ridiculous how skimpy the sesame seeds are on bcbg's bagel. As far as Marigold goes the staff are always really friendly and nice but as far as the bagels go the onion and the garlic and everything bagels always look burnt on the top and I don't like burnt garlic or burnt onions. So I refuse to order those because I can see I won't like them. I did or the jalapeno cheese on one occasion and It was decent. I really like the breakfast sandwich the bec.h the first time I got it I did not like the bacon in it because it was barely cooked the next time I got it they crisped it and it was so much better. Don't settle for uncooked bodega bacon in those trust me it really makes it disappointing. Maybe ask them to make your bacon crispy. read more

I've followed the Marigold craze for a while now. As a frequent visitors to the Civita Park Farmer's Market, it's almost impossible to not remember the long lines for these bagels. The line would be down the entire sidewalk before the official opening time of the Farmer's Market. I finally thought I got lucky only to realize that Marigold Bagels was no longer at the Farmer's Market and was replaced by a different bagel stand. Still good, but totally duped! After endless failed attempts to get Marigold Bagels at the Civita Park Farmer's Market, I finally got a chance to try them at their weekend Ponyboy Pop-Up/Pick-Up. Although these are no longer taking place as they prepare for their storefront opening, it was a great chance to finally try the bagels. I got the egg salad sandwich and my husband got the bacon, egg and cheese that were both on sesame bagels. These bagels are CHEWY! The chew was undeniable! They weren't super toasty in the sandwich, so I'm curious to try them on their own! Great bagels that I'm excited to try more of! read more
