Best Bagel in Town! Hands Down! The texture honestly…read moresurprised me, it really reminds me of NYC bagels. It's not as fluffy, but it's perfectly chewy, and the ingredients inside taste so fresh. My favorite part? You can grab fresh bagels to go along with your favorite cream cheese! The workers even handed me a bagel fresh out of the batch, you just have to ask. Best service ever! It's super kid-friendly with tons of seating both inside and outside. I came on a Saturday at 10:45 AM and got through the line pretty quickly. The bagel sandwiches are amazing, if you're a cream cheese lover, you can add it right into your sandwich. I loved mine with egg and cheese, and I can't wait to come back!

BUT I would suggest to get the bagels home and prepare the meal yourself. Because I forgot to ask if the huevos ranchero & cheddar has meat in it and it was loaded with ham. And I had to watch other people get their delicious single bagel first before mine was ready and I was so hungry!!! But I digress. The egg & cheese was good though but cream cheese smear was not enough. Overall super cheap fluffy delicious bagels I would come back for but I'll load the cream cheese me self next time.

Their sandwiches sounded interesting and creative. The man was nice, answered my questions and threw in two extra bagels. Nice! We'll be back, if we're ever the area. The bagels were quite good but we but won't go out of our way for pricey bagels. The four stars is because of the price.

She didn't bother to say "good morning or I'll be with you in a moment" walked to the back and had someone else come out and take my order.

And this isn't the first time, I've had a sour experience with her. I would come back, however I feel like I'm not a customer she likes to help. That alone makes me want to take my business elsewhere.

I've been coming here forever, and I've never had a bad experience. Their lox bagels are just to die for! They definitely don't skimp on the lox either. They load it up with plenty of smoked salmon, a nice amount of cream cheese, fresh tomato, red onion, and I always love having that pickle on the side. The jalapeño and cheese bagel itself was toasted perfectly, with that nice crunch on the outside while still being soft inside. Everything together was so good, especially with the amount of lox they put on there. I've been coming to for years, and there's a reason I keep coming back. The bagels are always great, the portions are generous, and this lox bagel is easily one of my favorites.

I ordered the Californian on an Asiago cheese bagel (egg, avocado, tomato, red onion, cheddar, and your choice of meat). Service was quick, which I appreciated. The only thing that threw me off was the cream cheese. My husband and I didn't want a plain bagel, so we asked to add cream cheese and were charged an extra $2 each. I guess I just assumed cream cheese would come standard with a bagel and not be an add-on. Anywho, the Californian was good, and I'd order it again.

The seasonal drinks are just as divine and inspired by California seasonal offerings. I have managed 3 donut shops in my lifetime and make donuts for fun at home, so to say I'm a donut enthusiast would be an understatement. I know a good donut when I have one and these are spectacular. You can taste that everything is homemade in house and it truly makes a difference. The decor is always cute and the staff are always friendly. Though their regular/non-rotating donut flavors are just as good (the butter pecan, plain, chocolate glazed and bumbleberry), if I'm making the drive all the way out here, I prioritize their monthly flavors first. Next time you find yourself in the OC area, swing by and grab a dozen or two to share with friends.

This place is such a mystery. How could someplace so…read moreunattractive and run down produce the very best bakery items in Orange County? The old adage "You can't judge a book by its cover," is true here. This place looks forgotten, ignored, unassuming, but produces the finest bakery items in Orange County. You enter and have to immediately get into a line. Inside, it is like a aged cafeteria of your childhood. You have to wait for a young lady who can't even look over the top of the counter because there is so much stuff piled high. She stands on tip toes to see you and you have to shout at her and point what you want. The problem is when she sees you, you are near the cash register, so you must say excuse me and walk in front of a line of people to point and shout out what you want. It is so poorly designed and complicated to order. We all endure because like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, the product is worth it. They sell the world's best Olive bread, scones, and strawberry crossants. If you survive the line, you make it to the cash register, pay, get a bag and leave. There is no where to sit. There is no internet. They shuffle you through and on to the next one. The pastry items are incredible and worth the trouble.
