BEST BAGELS EVER!! With the awards and accolades to support it!! My family and I tried the following so far: Egg Salad (5 out of 5) Smash Burger (5 out of 5) Lox (5 out of 5) Fruit (10 out of 5) All of the bagels were light, crispy, chewy and delicious. The kimchi bagel and cheddar jalapeño were our favorites. You don't feel heavy/greasy after eating them. Drinks: Yuzu Lemonade (amazing) Ube blueberry latte (delicious) Jasmine lychee? (Awesome) And the chocolate chip mousse cake was to die for. Service was amazing and they had plenty of staffing. Plenty of areas to sit and hang out in the area. Thank you for bringing amazing bagels and flavors into our lives. read more

I came here because the whole sushi-bagel fusion / crazy topping situation obviously caught my attention. I'm always down to try something over the top at least once, especially when it looks fun and different. First of all, parking was annoying. You have to go into the parking structure and it's tucked into a business park, so it's not exactly the easiest quick stop. Once we got there though, the staff was really nice and the bagels themselves were good. That said... these bagels get expensive fast. We only got two and split them, and even then it was a lot. They pile so much stuff on top that once you actually try to cut into it and eat it, everything is falling everywhere. It's one of those things that looks really cool, but is kind of a mess in real life. Flavor-wise, I liked it. It was good. But not "I need to come back and crave this again" good. For me, I think I prefer a bagel that's just a really solid bagel with a good smear, or something topped in a way that still feels easy to eat. This felt more like one of those giant burritos the size of your head -- fun to look at, but a little too much in execution. So overall: good bagels, nice service, fun concept, but between the price, the parking, and how hard it was to actually eat, I probably wouldn't go through the hassle again. read more

Must try! These elevated bagels are well worth it. Had the Lox and Bolgogi bake and both were very tasty. Enjoyed the bagels outside near the water fountains and stopped by Kit coffee for lattes. A perfect morning splurge. read more

This was my first time visiting and it was great ! The man taking our orders was very helpful when we had questions about the bagels and schmears. The poke bagel was so good! We got it on a furikake bagel with the sesame shoyu poke. It had so much poke on it! I also loved the cucumber and the imitation crab on it. I have never had anything like this. The tomato bagel was also good. I got it with the pista pesto schmear. The schmear was amazing, it complimented the tomato really well. I also appreciated how the tomato was seasoned and I liked the thinly sliced onions on it. I would definitely like to go back to try different things! read more

Decent bagels but the real star is their cream cheese. I really enjoyed how creative they were especially with the ube, yuzu and fried chicken. Their chicken bake was very similar to the Costco chicken bake with more chicken. However, for the price point, the Costco chicken bake is a more economical deal. Very nice staff and they validate 90 minutes. You do have to park in the structure as it's in those business complexes. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

First time here, you can park in the parking structure and they validate your ticket for you! It was a little hard to find due to many of the business signages being harder to see against the building color, but we found it, woohoo! We ordered 2 lox bagels on everything, 1 asian chicken salad on everything, 1 pb&j on cinnamon raisin, and 1 pepperoni pizza bagel - Lox: as some reviewers have mentioned, the citrus cure seemed to overpower the lox flavor/left us wanting more prevalent smoked salmon flavor. Capers would've been a great garnish. Tomatoes were fresh and juicy, pickled onions add a punch - Asian Chicken Salad: chicken was cooked great (not over or rubbery at all!), we all shared this one and we all were wanting more allium flavors or maybe even more salt- cilantro, more onions diced in, more green onions diced in, would've REALLY made the flavors pop. 2 friends out us 4 ranked this the least favorite. - PB&J: the surprise winner, it was delicious and really hit the spot! A friend was worried the cinnamon raisin would be way too sweet but nope, she said it was balanced and greatly made - Pepperoni Pizza Bagel: LOVED the crispy pepperoni cups. Ranch dip is a must and the hot honey was a favorite among our friends, I opted to enjoy it with just ranch. It made me want red pepper flakes + parmesan cheese so this was also a great bagel. - Bagels were on the lighter side which I personally like because I can enjoy cream cheese + toppings more. Many bagelries I've been to have thick bagels, which is great, but I get stuffed from all the dough (lol!), so I enjoyed the lighter bagels here, but they did seem a little over toasted, as in crisper/harder. Really wanted to share our honest experience here with the bagel flavors as Rise has gotten so popular. As few have mentioned, for the price, more exceptional flavor was anticipated, so it was a true 3.5/5 experience for me personally. They also do not allow any modifications whatsoever at all. We got there late, they close at 2 pm, but they let us know we can stay to eat, but we didn't want to keep them waiting due to us late stragglers so we went outside to eat and it was beautiful and really nice! Ample seating, beautiful view, just the occasional water sprinkling from the fountain(?) got on us and our bagels lol! read more

Seems to be a Korean fusion bagel sandwich shop in an upscale business complex by the equinox. Parking is a bit tricky. You need to make sure you park at the structure closest to the shop to be able to get validation. If you go across where I happened to, it was couple of bucks per hour I believe. The menu has unique items like a kimchi bagel and interesting savory sandwich options. The worker told me the egg salad is one of the most popular so tried that along with the kbbq option. It's very filling so definitely shareable. Egg salad was pretty good and the furikake bagel it comes with is unique but it was a bit too much furikake for me. Kbbq was a bit too salty and messy to enjoy honestly but it wasn't bad taste. Other than that, I'm a bit disappointed in the bagels. To me, it's not a bagel. It doesn't have that same springy chew to it, so it definitely doesn't seem to be boiled before baking. Most likely just baked. But even baked bagels have a certain texture and taste? This almost felt like French bread. Feels misleading as a bagel shop but I get it that they are probably trying to do something unique here. It definitely is unique but just not to my taste. read more

Very unique and tasty bagel options. I've never had poke or chicken salad on a bagel and i was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted! The bagel texture is also soft and chewy. I would definitely come back to try the other menu items. The service is quick and the workers are friendly. Good amount of seating inside and outside. It's located inside an office building area. FYI- they validate parking if you park in the parking structure right next to the restaurant. read more

Came on a sat afternoon & there was a pretty long line. A worker came by to give us a sample of pog juice which I thought was nice! We got the Egg Sando & Kbbq. Both were so good! I do wish the Egg Sando had a bit more salt, but that's just my preference. I loved the flavor of the kbbq, the kimchi & cucumber gave the sandwich a nice tangy taste. They also offer parking validation, so make sure to ask! read more

Absolute game-changer for the OC bagel scene! I am completely obsessed with Rise Bagels. They are completely reinventing what a bagel can be. The hand-rolled dough is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I tried their viral Tokyo 7/11 egg salad bagel with a jammy egg, and it blew my mind! The flavor combinations are so creative and absolutely delicious --especially the KBBQ, the smash burger, and the strawberry bagel. I couldn't choose a favorite; I would honestly get them all again, and I also want to try the rest of their menu as well as their desserts! The ingredients are clearly super fresh and high-quality and the staff is beyond friendly, attentive, and wonderful. Do yourself a favor and get a guava drink or matcha drink too! Highly recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed. The location is gorgeous to sit outside and it's super aesthetic and clean inside. I was catching up with a friend, and they were so sweet and didn't rush is out. They validate parking which is super nice, but I was actually able to park in the free visitor 2 hour parking without a problem on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Talk about ba-GOALS! As someone who's tried quite a bit of the LA bagel scene, I was so excited to try @risebagels - the newest concept from Chef John Park and Jeff Tran, and you can definitely tell the love and care they pour into their business with their thoughtful menu and personable customer service. Their menu specializes in small-batch, hand-rolled, boiled bagels baked fresh daily, with creative takes on cream cheese schmears (including ube, tom yum curry, yuzu, chili crisp and more!), as well as innovative, elevated bagel sandwiches. My favorites were their poke and lox bagels, which feature VERY fresh fish, as well as their new birria bagel sandwich, comes with birria, Fritos, taco toppings, and even consome to dip! Despite just opening half a year ago, Rise is already making waves -- recently winning a (in my opinion) very well-deserved Best of the West and Most Creative at Bagel Fest! Definitely make sure to check them out if you're in the Irvine area for some of the BEST bagels I've had in OC! read more

Everything we ordered was so delicious, and the bagels were hearty and satisfying. Our favorite was the poke bagel, with the egg bagel coming in a close second. I honestly wasn't sure about the fruit bagel, but it ended up being one of my favorites too! It goes perfectly with coffee! You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and tell they put a lot of care into the food. The staff was friendly, the restaurant and bathrooms were spotless, and parking was super convenient with the structure right next door. I had five kids with me, and it was such an easy place to eat with them. We had a great experience from start to finish and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

After so many people recommending this spot, we decided to go for a Saturday morning breakfast with our son. When we got there, we realized it's an office park but read some reviews and saw that the connecting parking structure validates for 1.5 hours. My husband got the breakfast sando while I went with the poke and both were amazing!! The poke was so fresh and bursting with different flavors and the breakfast sandwich was hearty and filling. Neither of us could finish ours as these are packed to the max! There were so many other sandwiches that I wanted to try so will have to come back to explore some more. The location is perfect for toddlers on Saturdays with the place pretty empty and plenty of space to roam. We might have found our new Saturday morning spot for the family and can't wait to return! read more

I've tried a lot of bagel spots, but Rise Bagels in Irvine really stands out. I've had both the One Fish and the Tokyo 7/11, and they each bring something unique to the table. As someone who loves a good lox bagel, the One Fish was a highlight for me. The yuzu kosho adds this light, citrusy kick that makes the whole thing feel super fresh and balanced. Overall, I love supporting Asian owned businesses, and this is definitely one bagel spot to keep on your radar if you're in Irvine! :D read more

This place is a little tucked away and I got lost a bit trying to get there. Once inside, its a small Place, with only a few tables inside and a couple outside. You order at the counter and they call your name when ready. I tried the egg salad, the lox, avocado toast, and pizza bagel. My favorite was the lox of course. Very classic. I wanted to like the egg salad. Was hoping that it was more like the Japanese egg Sando, but I think it was missing something. The avocado toast was also good, but was very plain in my opinion. The pizza bagel (was a special that day) was very very good. My daughter and mom both really liked it. Not sure if they still have it on the menu, but def worth a try if it's still there. read more

I really wanted to like this place more, but I thought it was just okay after trying a few items: 1. Lox on an everything bagel: the lox was good, but it was way too citrusy for what a lox bagel should taste like. The citrus took over the entire bagel; the focus should be on the lox. They also skimped on the cream cheese. 2. Egg salad on bagel: the egg salad was nice and flavorful, but the soft boiled egg had zero flavor to it. The bagel was also very dry. I wound up just eating the egg salad toward the end. Bagel quality is a 2-3/5, at the very best. At these prices, this place is a no for me. Staff are friendly, at least. read more

Not a want - but a need! The egg bagel was one of the best I've ever had. It was SO flavorful and so simple. One bagel alone was filling! We wanted to try the poke nacho they had but it sold out & it was before lunch time. Plenty of parking in the garage (they validate) and plenty of seating. Will be back again to try the other options! read more

Do these bagels rise up from the rest? Perhaps! I came by after seeing foodies online rave about it. It's hidden between office buildings, and honestly, if no one posted about it, you probably wouldn't know it exists unless you worked nearby. We weren't sure where to park, so we ended up parking at the Equinox lot since it's free on weekends (without need of validation) and an easy walk over. The cafe has plenty of seating inside and outside. We got there around noon on a Saturday. There was no line to order, but a lot of the tables were already taken. You order at the register and then find a seat. With all the unique bagels on the menu, we ordered the KBBQ on a sesame bagel and the Pokémon on a furikake bagel. They were huge! The bagels tasted house made, slightly thinner and dense rather than fluffy. For bagels with this many toppings, it actually worked in their favor since it didn't feel too heavy. - KBBQ sandwich on sesame bagel: Very hearty and honestly reminded me more of a kimchi jjigae/stew than KBBQ. It didn't just have regular bulgogi or glazed meat inside, from what you'd expect. Even so, it still tasted delicious! - Poke open faced furikake bagel: The poke was so fresh, which surprised me! Paired with cucumbers and cream cheese, it was super refreshing. I would have never thought of this combo, but it worked really well. This spot brings a really unique take on bagels with flavor combos I haven't tried before. I think it's worth trying, and I'd come back to try other options like the egg salad and birria. read more

Located within a huge office complex with what I assume to be validated parking in the structure. We ordered online and parked in a drop-off area for a few mins, so not 100% sure. If you don't order online, you order at the register. Indoor and outdoor private patio seating, but there's also tons of communal outdoor seating in a beautiful setting. My wife saw their poke bagel on social media and had to try it. I got the chicken club bagel sandwich and an ube blueberry latte. Sandwich was supper drippy and messy, but delicious! Latte was so sweet that I couldn't tell there was any coffee in it (is there?!?). I was happy with both choices. read more

Rise Bagels is nestled in a business park. You can park in the structure and walk a short distance to this place. We wanted to try this place because of the Korean inspired bagel sandos and bake. We ordered the kbbq bagel (egg, cheese, bulgogi, braised kimchi, sesame leaf, sweet soy pickled radish, cucumber kimchi, and ssamjang schmear on a sesame bun). It was a little sweet for me but had great flavor! The lox bagel had an amazing lemony kick and the breakfast sando (eggs, cheese, schmear, and sausage on an everything bagel) hit the spot! The bagels were flavorful, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside- perfect! We got the ube blueberry snickerdoodle cookie and the yuzu poppyseed snickerdoodle cookie to go. How could we not??!! Give this place a try! read more

So you have to park in the parking structure and look for signs to Rise Bagel. I wasn't prepared for that. Very friendly. So many options to try but for 1 person, I decided on the Korean bbq sandwich for this visit on jalapeño cheddar bagel. It's freshly made for you so you will need to wait for it. I ended seeing their desserts and decided to try the carrot cake slice with no nuts. ($7). The lemon bar also looked good so maybe next time. My sandwich was beautifully made and I took it to their little lake area. It was very flavorful! The eggs were fluffy and I liked the flavor composition. It is on the pricey side though for a bagel sandwich with no side or anything. It wouldn't be something I get often but I am glad to have tried them. The bagel was soft and chewy as well. I also tried the carrot cake slice when I got home. It's moist and has good flavor. Cream cheese frosting is good as well, not too thick. SYOY! read more

The bagels here were good. We got a lox on an everything bagel and the egg salad on the furikake bagel. The lox was good and light but the salmon could've been more fresh; it was very salty but the creme cheese made up for that. The tomatoes in the bagel were nice and juicy and the bagel itself was just a basic everything, nothing to it. The egg salad was very creamy but very heavy as well and the furikake bagel was interesting. I would not get it again but it was nice to try. Overall, good bagels to try if you're around the area but I wouldn't come back as a regular. read more

Softest bagel breads ever! Unlike traditional bagel sandwich where the exterior is on the harder side, their bread base is proofed to perfection.

finally tried Rise Bagels in irvine and honestly... the hype makes sense!! my favorites were definitely the birria and lox bagels. the birria especially was SO good paired with the consommé it comes with -- super flavorful and comforting. i also had low expectations for the K BBQ bagel but it ended up being really delicious and had such good korean fusion flavors throughout. i also loved the cheddar jalapeño + kimchi bagel pairings since they added so much flavor to the sandwiches. personally, the egg sando wasn't my favorite because i wished it had a bit more seasoning, and the chewiness of the everything bagel wasn't really my preference texture-wise. but overall, i'd still highly recommend stopping by and trying their bagels for yourself read more

Rise Bagels - Egg Sando - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

I just discovered my new favorite bagel place in SoCal! My mom and I decided to go here for lunch and instantly found the atmosphere inviting and all the staff warm and welcoming. We ordered the open-faced lox bagels, which included citrus-cured salmon, yuzu kosho pickled onion, red onion, dill, citrus olive oil, lemon schmear, and cornichon. I had an everything bagel and my mom had a salted bagel. Wow! We both thought our bagels were awesome! Light, soft, freshly baked, flavorful. The ingredients that topped the bagels were soft, fresh, with some of the best lox I've ever had. We also had a black coffee --- well-brewed and a delicious, rich lemon bar. The owner dropped by our table to ask how things and we told him our meal was great. The shop has an indoor and outdoor seating area --- both are very pleasant with a chilled vibe. (We sat inside.) The decor has lots of white that complements the lots of light that comes in --- a bright, positive feeling. They also had a sign that said who their local farm partners were, which impressed me that they were sourcing from the very best. A great meal in a great restaurant. It's only open from 8 am - 2 pm (closed Sunday). And they do validate parking. I can't wait to go back. read more

There is nothing like this anywhere. Egg salad sando. Smashburger bagel, lox bagel. So much food.

The bagels taste super fresh and have that perfect texture -- slightly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. You can really tell they put a lot of care into making them. While everything was great, I especially loved the bulgogi bake. It's such a good option if you want something a little different from a classic bagel sandwich. The bulgogi flavor is savory and really satisfying, and it pairs perfectly with the bagel. Definitely one of my favorite things we tried. Overall, it's a great spot if you're craving a good bagel, and I love that they offer both classic options and unique items like the bulgogi bake. I'd definitely come back again because there are so many things on the menu worth trying. read more

Rise Bagels - Poke bagel & chicken salad bagel - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

I love bagels and I feel like sometimes, when places try to be unique, they lose the flavor/quality of the simpleness in a bagel itself - Rise however - has done an amazing job elevating the bagel. That egg salad open face sandwich is probably one of the best things i've ever tried. Their verison of a chicken bake? Amazing. The smash burger? so good. Great friendly team, very attentive, very aware. The shop itself is nicely decorated and I dont know if they always have this but we went on a weekend and they had picnic blankets outside on the lawn & lawn games for the kids to play with - so thoughtful & neat. Can't wait to come back and try out some other items read more

Bagel spot with an Asian twist! I was so surprised at the different Asian/Pacific inspired sandwich and bagel flavor options! Ended up getting the 7/11 on an everything bagel and lox on a Furikake bagel. The egg salad in the 7/11 was so fluffy and not as heavy as I would've thought - RECOMMEND! The flavors on the lox bagel were also so light and bright - ALSO RECOMMEND! It came with lemon cream cheese which was a perfecttttt pairing to the lox topping. I feel the Furikake flavor on the bagel didn't come through as much as I would've expected, but very cool that they offer that flavor nonetheless. Check them out! read more

Ordered online and picked up on a Saturday afternoon - fast, easy, skipped the line and wait. I loved that they had games out in the grass area for people and kids to play with though. Definitely a way to keep occupied while waiting or after your eat. Got the Lox and KBBQ. Both were great innovative flavors for the toppings but the bagels fall short. It's kind of like eating a toasted stale bagel? For a bagel shop, I would expect the bagels to be the focal point followed by the toppings so it's definitely disappointing. Not sure I would come back to be honest. Maybe if i was really craving a bagel and wanted these specific flavors? read more

Definitely loved the bagels here but they are pretty expensive. I guess it's on par with other open face bagel places though. I shared 2 bagels with one other person and we were both stuffed after.
