    Bacon Egg and Cheese On a garlic bagel with butter
    David R.

    Friendly staff and friendly customers. First time here and asked people in line for their orders. I was recommended the bacon, egg, and cheese on a garlic bagel (with butter). If I'm in the area again I will be stopping here for sure!

    Cream cheese & Avocado, amazing!
    Natalie J.

    Addicting bagels! I recommend the cream cheese & avocado on a plain or onion bagel, they put lemon pepper seasoning on it & the combination of flavors is incredible. The bagels have a perfect amount of chew. The portions are great but given how amazing they are, you'll want to order another. The place is clean & the employees have a great attitude! Always excited to come here!

    Its so bussin!!

    The bagels slap. We got caprese and salmon delight soooo good. We come here weekly and the food is amazing and its always nice to support family owned businesses!

    Salmon delight! Fresh salmon in every bite! So good
    Gina H.

    Everything was great!! Bagels are very fresh, made fresh everyday. I had an onion bagel with turkey, cheese, egg and pesto which I never tasted before. It was the best bagel sandwich in town!

    Bagels are good but to salty for me. Nick the owner is a nice guy. Plenty of seating. Clean.

    My husband and I stopped by Nick's Bagels and Espresso in Fullerton for the first time a few weeks ago. As former New Yorkers, we have been on the hunt to find a bagel place we love in the North Orange County area. Unfortunately, Nick's Bagels and Espresso in Fullerton was not this place for us, which was a big disappointment since fellow Yelpers seem to love them. Perhaps, we came on an off-day, but the bagels were not good. They were extremely dry and had a weird a texture with each bite. My husband and I each ordered a breakfast sandwich: - egg, sausage, and cheese on an egg bagel - egg and bacon on a garlic bagel The components inside the bagel were great, but unfortunately, could not salvage our disappointment with the bagels themselves. The staff working that morning were also fantastic. Kind, patient, and efficient. The staff on their own deserve their own star for this rating. Definitely the kind of people you want to start your morning with. The store has some seating inside and outside for customers to enjoy their food. They also have plenty of free parking shared among the other businesses in the lot they're located in. Perhaps, we came on an off-day or we're just not used to this type of preparation of the bagels.

    This is the best bagel in Orange County!! Just recently moved back to my hometown and was in desperate search for a solid bagel. Saw all the positive reviews and came here an hour before closing. Susie was AMAZING - the absolute BEST service ever. There were so many options, and I couldn't just pick one! Now I have bagels for the next week. When I came home to finally eat the Salmon Delight, I was literally giggling at how it hit the spot. Cravings have been satisfied! My husband asked for my other half because it looked so good and agreed it was the best bagel shop. 10/10 happy to now have my bagel staple! Thank you Susie for being the best!! Also, a previous review mentioned how the music they play is good, and I recall that being a funny review comment, but I can confirm the ambiance was immaculate. I was dancing while waiting for my bagels. Shop is cute and cozy too!

    2nd week in a row stopping by Nick's! This place is the best, great customer service, bagels are delicious, and drinks are bomb!

    We had a great experience here after leaving the chiropractor a few doors down. We ordered 2 bagel sandwiches, and a bagel with a side of cream cheese. All was fresh and delicious the bagels were dense not fluffy but they were still tasty. The service was excellent here.

    Salmon with Cream Cheese on Everything Bagel
    Czarina V.

    Scrumptious and never frugal on ingredients. We usually get their salmon offerings and my (and my daughter's go-to) PBJ--what childhood dreams are made of! We also brought home a dozen bagels and their heavenly cream cheese during this visit because we can never get enough of Nick's.

Service: You self order, and the drink comes out pretty fast in five to ten minutes. The cashiers are nice and call you by your name! Ambiance: The best quality about this cafe is it's such a nice place to study with many tables inside, a few tables outside, and a clean bathroom. Parking is also easy with a upstairs lot facing Vivot! There's also a bit of area to walk around the cafe for a study break! Also huge shout out to this cafe's hours as they're open from 7 AM-11 PM, so you feel no rush to quickly finish your tasks! Please come to Vivot for not only a refreshing drink, but a beautiful place to study that is open late!

    My second time here…read more Drinks: underwhelming. Not well proportioned ingredients between the chosen flavor, milk and matcha. Waterdowned with plenty of ice. Price: overpriced for both drinks and sandwivhes. Although I don't mind paying extra for a satisfying drink, this one is not one of those. Ambiance: the walls, decor, plants and furnitures needs plenty of improvement. It looked like they were going for a minimalist look but it seems too bland and all over the place. I appreciate the music but the overall ambiance is not very inviting. Service: self serve to order and they ask for tip? The customers are expected to clear the tables and put away food and drink containers. It doesn't make sense. Parking: it's downtown fullerton, unless you know the area, it might be difficult for you to find parking especially during peak hours. But there's a couple of parking structure nearby which is a plus because it's covered and free. By the way, I initially ordered the classic strawberry matcha for comparison to other matcha drinks I've had from other cafes and I came the 2nd time to try the matcha flight to give it a chance but I was underwhelmed on both times. On both occasion I ordered my drinks with coconut milk and it was so overpowering and matcha flavor is very mild and with addition of plenty of ice, it taste like a waterdowned green drink that's milky in flavor.

The royal milk tea was decent but not as flavorful as I had hoped. Since I had asked for less sweetness, that may have reduced the flavor. I did enjoy the bagel as it had fresh lox. The capers were a lovely garnish since they definitely enhanced the flavors from the cream cheese and lox. The cafe is quite cozy with its homey structure. It's quite inconspicuous if driving past the cafe, but as we walked toward it, we noticed customers using their patio. We were greeted as we walked up to order using the kiosk. A few of the tables have handwritten notes underneath clear glass. I noticed many heartfelt messages that sparked my imagination as to how the writers must've felt. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with chatter from local customers who seemed to know the owners well. We had also played a card game after eating, so this cafe is good for that as well. The owners were friendly and even took our plates and cups once we were finished. There's very limited parking right next to the cafe, so I had to make use of residential streets. However, it's worth making a trip here to try this coffeehouse. Also, It's interesting how they open early at 7 am per Google Maps. I usually don't see cafes opening that early, but this is a good tidbit of information for the future.

    I drive all the way from LA to Fullerton just for this coffee…read more With all the coffee shops we have in LA, there's only one reason I make the drive to Fullerton. Their Tiramisu Coffee. It was amazing the first time I tried it, and somehow it's just as good every single time I go. The cheese foam on top isn't too sweet, salty, or heavy. It's smooth and creamy, but it doesn't overpower the coffee at all. And the cookie that comes with it? Dip it into the cheese foam. So, so good. The coffee itself isn't too sweet or bitter. The latte is just really clean, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Tiramisu coffee can sometimes be way too sweet and heavy, but this one is nothing like that. That's why I always order two. I drink the first one there, nice and slow. A little cookie dipped in the cheese foam, a sip of coffee, another bite, another sip. I mean, I drove all the way from LA to Fullerton. Why would I rush it? And the second one? That one comes back to LA with me. Because I need it for that wonderful 5 Freeway traffic. When traffic starts getting ridiculous and I can feel myself getting annoyed, I take a sip of my Tiramisu Coffee and think, "Okay... it's fine. Just take your time." And suddenly life is a little better. So yes, I always order two. One is for happiness. The other is to keep me from losing my mind on the 5 Freeway. Maybe I'm a little crazy for driving from LA to Fullerton just for a cup of coffee. But honestly, the coffee that keeps making me do that might be even crazier. Do you know how many coffee shops there are in LA? And still, out of every Tiramisu Coffee I've tried, this one is easily my #1. Actually, forget #1. I'm just going to say it. I honestly don't think there's a better Tiramisu Coffee anywhere. Sip & Savor Coffee, please open a location in LA. It would definitely make my life easier because I wouldn't have to drive all the way to Fullerton anymore... But then again, I might miss having my Tiramisu Coffee there to calm me down on the 5 Freeway. 저는 이 커피 마시려고 LA에서 Fullerton까지 갑니다. 많고 많은 LA 커피숍을 놔두고 굳이 Fullerton까지 가는 이유는 딱 하나. 여기 티라미수 커피 때문이에요. 처음 마셨을 때도 너무 맛있었는데, 갈 때마다 똑같이 맛있어요. 위에 올라간 치즈폼은 너무 달지도 않고 짜지도 않고, 느끼하지도 않아요. 부드럽고 고소한데 커피 맛을 가리지도 않고요. 그리고 같이 나오는 쿠키를 치즈폼에 푹 찍어 먹으면 정말 맛있어요. 커피도 너무 달거나 쓰지 않고 라떼 자체가 정말 깔끔하고 깨끗한 맛이에요. 티라미수 커피라고 하면 보통 너무 달고 무거운 경우가 많은데 여기는 전혀 그렇지 않아요. 그래서 저는 여기 오면 항상 두 잔을 오더합니다. 첫 번째 잔은 매장에서 천천히 마셔요. 치즈폼에 쿠키 찍어 먹으면서 한 모금, 또 한 모금. 이왕 LA에서 Fullerton까지 왔는데 급하게 마실 이유가 없잖아요. 그리고 두 번째 잔은 꼭 가지고 나옵니다. LA로 돌아오는 길, 그 지긋지긋하게 막히는 5번 프리웨이에서 마시려고요. 트래픽 때문에 슬슬 화가 올라올 때 티라미수 커피 한 모금 마시면 "그래... 괜찮아. 천천히 가자." 이렇게 됩니다. 그래서 항상 두 잔이에요. 한 잔은 행복하려고 마시고, ** 한 잔은 5번 프리웨이에서 화 안 내려고 마십니다.** 이 커피 한 잔 마시겠다고 LA에서 Fullerton까지 가는 저도 참 대단하지만, 그 거리를 또 가게 만드는 이 집 커피가 더 대단한 것 같아요. LA에 커피숍이 얼마나 많은데요. 그래도 제가 지금까지 마셔본 티라미수 커피 중에서는 여기가 단연 1등입니다. 아니, 저는 그냥 이렇게 말할래요. 이렇게 잘 만든 티라미수 커피는 세상 어디에도 없을 것 같습니다. Sip & Savor Coffee, 제발 LA에도 오픈해 주세요. 그러면 제가 Fullerton까지 안 가도 돼서 좋긴 한데... 5번 프리웨이에서 화를 식혀줄 커피가 없어지는 건 조금 아쉽겠네요
