    I was being dripped on while standing at register
    Rhonda J.

    I came in and walked to the register. Only one couple was already eating at a table. A young girl with long brown hair is at the register and as I'm asking her questions, water is dripping on me. I look up and there is a hole in the ceiling. I ask about the eggs and they are precooked so I passed. I only ordered one cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with a side of cream cheese. They charge to toast the bagel. I stood there ten minutes watching her repeatedly walk over to two guys who cook and chat. Passing the bagels several times. One cook got a drink refill. Very casually ignoring the fact I'm standing there. I started visibly getting annoyed with just waiting and he finally went and got the bagel. The bagel was mediocre. Uber eats is much better. I wanted to like this place but the employees could care less

    Turkey bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel

    Quick place to grab a breakfast sandwich or bagel. Nothing fancy but we were in and out quickly and able to walk back to eat our breakfast on the beach.

    AVOID the downtown location!!! The location is unorganized and the The manager (older woman) is rude, talks about/judges your order while they're making the food!!! very rude, unprofessional and setting a horrible example for her staff. AND the food is awful! Our order (which ahe commented and judged while making it) was wrong and the egg and proteins were even warm! If you want a fantastic breakfast sandwich, online ordering and professionalism go Uber Bagel in north OC - Well worth the drive!!!

    Tiny bagel spot a block away from the beach. Got there around 11 and seemed like only plain and everything were left. Sausage, egg, and cheese had a generous portion and could definitely taste the freshness. Some other good sandwich options.

    Shmagel's coffee...crap to the last drop, err, ahhh, mound of grounds

    If you like the equivalent of a warmed bagged grocery store bagel with barely a schmear of cream cheese, then this is your place! The coffee makes the cup you got at the rink or truck stop seem great. People at the counter were fine. There is no ambiance of which to speak. It's an enter at the front exit in the back chute. If the bagels & coffee are good, who cares? In fairness, my gf had the crab cc and shared it was good. I have been consistently disappointed and held off on a review for years in hope that I just caught them on a bad day. Nope, it is what it is... Take your money elsewhere or be prepared to be fully underwhelmed.

    Half of bacon egg and cheese

    My friends went to pick up bagel sandwiches for us and they said the lady/owner was super rude to them. First off she didn't have any of the bagels that we wanted so we just ended up trying a few. I got a plain bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. Pretty decent sammy but I just wish my friend weren't so rudely rushed away. She kept saying she was going to close (even though it was an hour till she closed). Meh there are prob better bagel places to go to!

    Bacon, egg, and cheese

    I opened my bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel and thought "this must be a joke". The egg and bacon didn't even cover both halves of the bagel. Flavor was basic - it was pretty much an overpriced frozen breakfast sandwich. I also got an everything bagel with cream cheese and caramel iced latte with oat milk. They only get two stars because the everything bagel was decent and had a good amount of cream cheese. The latte was also terrible in regards to taste. It tasted like it didn't even have espresso and it was warm because there was barely any ice. Super disappointed in price and quality. Wil not be back.

    Stopped in for a quick to go bagel to start my day. I had the French toast bagel which had a nice light flavor, but it was super doughey and chewy and barely toasted. I would definitely ask for double toasted in the future to see if it would improve the doughiness. Cream cheese was nice and light, slightly whipped.

    Ordered bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. I don't think the egg was fresh and the bacon was rubbery. Please do not waste your time.

    Staff has poor customer service skills and the food quality is equivalent to Dunkin' Donuts
