I lived in Hawaii for 6 years. And I didn't seek out bagels one time. They didn't really have them to be honest. But as soon as we moved here-- I saw this place and it was honestly love at first sight. The good: THE BAGELS. The service. THE VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE. Did I mention the bagels?! I have tried a couple bagel sammies but the sunrise is my fave. Love their onion bagels. So fresh and tasty. Ask for them to toast it. The drive through is an amazing feature. Want a bagel? Have a sleeping baby?! DRIVE THRU!!! The workers are really nice and efficient. They are friendly and seem like they are working hard the whole time but never seem stressed or overwhelmed. The bad: I got nothing. I have been here so many times and was never upset or disappointed. To consider: I have never been inside. If you missed it-- I love their drive thru option. I am not sure how family friendly it is as I haven't ventured with my entire clan. Just the husband-- he also enjoyed it (in case you were wondering)--but. Again. Drive thru. So. My normal updates about high chairs/bathrooms/high chairs-- I don't know but if you have that info- I am all about hearing it. Please try this place out. You won't regret it. read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews but this is the only way I know to get feedback to the owner. We ordered three bagels. All were so dense it was as if we were given bagels that were a few days old. They were so dense that it made my wife and I have sore jaws from trying to chew them. read more

The line was long, but passed very quickly. I got the blueberry bagel with date but cream cheese, and it was delicious! The Sunrise bagel was also delightful. The bagel was nicely toasted, the bacon was crisp without being burnt, and the ratio of egg to cheese and bacon was perfect. The staff was friendly, and the little tables out front are perfect for enjoying the nice morning weather while eating breakfast. read more

I've been going to the Bagel Bakery since I was a kid and have never been disappointed. That is, until my last visit. I ordered a bagel with tuna salad and jack cheese, which I've never requested before but it looked and sounded appetizing. The pictures posted on the menu board are usually pretty close to what you receive. I got my order in a timely fashion and brought it home to enjoy. What I got didn't resemble the photo or anything close to tuna (except for a couple of congealed flakes). I'm not sure what I almost ate. Old, peppered celery? Was it relish? It didn't stay in my mouth long enough to identify. I immediately spit it out and threw it into the trash where it belonged. I'll never patronize this establishment again. read more

Is there is no star option l will leave that for review, disgusting bagel l had ever this morning. Don't go here bagels are old most likely from day(s) left over or they are horrible at making bagels , disgusting. Not fresh - l felt while l was waiting to pick up my order prep area was very messy. Not worth it. read more

The worst service and quality. They just don't care and with the price increase there is no way I'm going there again. I'd been a bagel bakery customer since they first opened when it was owned and started by River Gurtin. read more

For $4.00+ I expect a much better bagel to cream cheese ratio. Barely any cream cheese on the bagel, like the e thinnest spread of it. Got it toasted but bagel seemed stale. Went around 9:00am so no reason for a stale bagel. Staff didn't know prices of some items. Not sure why low fat cream cheese is the only "plain" option either. read more

I'll start by saying I'm not a local, so I cannot compare to prior owner experience. Good selection of bagels at 11am. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on a cheddar bagel. I thought my sandwich was great. The bagel was crispy and chewy and the egg and sausage pipping hot. The service was quick and friendly. read more

Good sandwich, great service today, a bit pricey for the product and out of many bagel types. Prices in the store were clear - but a lot more than shown online. I gather prices were shown minus bagel in some places? One gripe, the signs show nice pickled red onion, but we got a load of oniony raw red - will hold that next time. One highlight - the lox is not bad! Shout out to great counter staff today. Were kind to family and packed us extra napkins and labelled our lunches clearly. read more

I stopped by around 2pm and was gonna order plain bagel (my favorite) but they don't have any more selection! I remember few years ago when around this time they would still have some more bagels out. Not sure if because of COVID it's limited but it's a little frustrating. So FYI to customers try going early! Their bagels are good but they don't make that much no more like they use to! read more

I picked up a large order of bagels (six dozen, assorted, and sliced) this morning, and I was impressed with several things: First, I have picked up large orders previously, but never from this location. Many times the order was still being prepared when I arrived. This time the bagels were all sliced and bagged. All I had to do was pay. Second, the price was much cheaper than it had been for an identical order I picked up three days ago at another Bagel Bakery location. I'm thinking I was gouged at the prior place -- last time I'll shop there. Third, there was a wider assortment of bagels than any I've seen previously. There were bagels included in the order that I've never seen before. Finally, and most important, I was treated as a valued customer, not an inconvenience for having placed such a large order. From the time I arrived until I left, I felt appreciated. That included smiling, thanking me, and carrying the order to my car -- without me even asking for help! Suffice it to say that I will be doing my bagel shopping at this location from now on. Thank you!!! read more

Amazing bagels, either simple with cream cheese or in a sandwich. Always get a boba too

Eeeewww The low fat creme cheese was bad. Old. Sour. Had 2 throw $10 sandwich away after one bite.. when i called 2 ask dude 2 smell the low fat crème cheese he said: ur right, want a bagel? like i'd ever eat anything there again read more

I have been coming here for years for a nice chewy bagel. You need to get in early as they do run out. There were only 11 blueberry bagels when I got there and and I got them all. They are one of the few places you can get a pumpernickel bagel. They also have drinks and smears. Give it a try. read more

This morning I was running late with my kids so we ate on the go and my kids pointed out there was black stuff on the bagel. When I had gone back and I was telling the worker she turned her back on us and whispered to her co-worker in spanish which she didn't know I understood and was basically making fun of me for complaining, and her attitude was completely unprofessional and very rude. And she didn't care to do anything about it. I wasn't complaining to ask for free food I just wanted to let them know since we are frequent customers. I'm not sure what kind of morning she was having but it's unacceptable to reflect that on to your customers. read more

If you are looking for a breakfasts place which allow you to shop on the wheels. Thank you for my BLT badge always delicious

I ordered the bagel dog and a breakfast sandwich bagel. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good and the bagel dog was pretty much just a hotdog with a thick bun. Over all pretty decent but pretty expensive for what it is. It was like $15 for 2 things which is kinda crazy. Only came here because I was charging my car. Final score Mid/10. read more

OMG!!!! The bagel Dog was amazing! We arrived at about 2:30pm and they were sold out of bagels LOL! That is an indication that they are AMAZING. Looking forward to trying the next time we are in the Monterey area. read more

We were looking for Starbucks, which apparently used to exist someplace on this street, when we saw "The Bagel Bakery" across the street. We got bagels, a banana, coffee, and a can of peach juice. Everything was pretty good, and filled the need for breakfast to get us on the road today. Thanks Bagel Bakery for being there when we needed you! [ Velcro... What a rip-off. ] read more

There was at least 4 customers in line waiting for help, when a couple and 2 kids walked in. They went all into the kitchen, maybe the owners or the managers family. Then the dad came out to the service area ( where you place your order) putting some gloves on, only to make bagels for his family, not to help the already waiting customers and on top of that they all go and sat down in one of the few open tables for customers to seat. That's not how you run a business. Your customers come first, remember a business will not succeed without customers read more

Horrible. DIRTY. ordered bagel with salmon. Didn't get salmon. Ordered another bagel with avocado. Didn't get avocado . But you sure charged me for salmon and avocado. Rip off business. And Dirty! The floor at the counter area had gobs of HAIR!! GROSS! This place needs to be shut down. It's disgusting. And a rip off. read more

Friendly service and a killer breakfast sandwich. Can't ask for more than that. I cheated the menu with ham, bacon and sausage sammy!

Delicious bagel breakfast sandwich! The drive-thru employee messed up our order and gave us both cheddar bagels instead of the bagels we ordered, but it was still tasty so we weren't upset. Love how many options there were on the menu, too. read more

Remember when the Bagel Bakery used to actually put a decent amount of cream cheese on your bagel? This is really sad. Is there still a cream cheese shortage or something? read more

Third time getting my order wrong. Will not eat here again. And they are way overpriced.

I stopped in the plaza to get my morning coffee, and saw there was a bagel bakery next to Starbucks ! For a place called bagel bakery I expected a big selection of bagels. when I walked in I was unimpressed by their selection. I ordered a berry bagel and asked her to toast it with cream cheese. After I saw the toaster I wish I wouldn't have asked her to put my bagel in their, that thing is black and crusty. She slathered on cream cheese to cover the black marks, but you can definitely taste it and still see it under the cream cheese. I wonder how long it's been since they cleaned that nasty thing. I took one bite and tossed the rest, definitely would not come back. I'd rather get my bagel from Starbucks !! read more

i think all bagel bakeries should have a drive thru! I was excited to find out it did, there was only one other car in line, I ordered and got to the window handed the nice lady my card and my bagel was ready. it took no time at all and my order was perfect, turkey bagel combo with no tomatoes, sprouts, avocado, jack cheese a lil cream cheese and added some cranberry, had the option to toast it but didn't. Combo came with drink and chips and it was under $10. It was so convenient and didn't waste time at all. my bagel tasted delicious! read more

These are absolutely NOT bagel bakery bagels that i grew up on. I really wish whoever bought this place would have had the understanding that the recipe is the most important thing they bought with this business. I might have well gone to Safeway. Ive been going to Marina Bagels since they opened and they make them right. But theyre closed Monday so i thought lets try BB again afyer years maybe they got better. Wah wah. Straight up bread, soft, no chew. Im so disappointed tge BB WAS an institution now its a sad reminder. read more

I am always very happy with my bagels from bagel bakery. Usually go for a vegetarian bagel sandwich minus the onion. Sometimes they forget to remove them but not a big deal. Easy for me to do. Bagels and ingredients always taste fresh. Love the jalapeño cheddar bagel read more

I can't even explain the "off" flavor of my veggie wheat bagel sandwich, but it was gross. I had just a few bites and can't get that awful taste out of my mouth. This is the second time this place has disappointed me. I won't give it another chance. I don't recommend this location. read more

Pretty good. Enjoyed their bagels. Honestly not too many complaints. But not the best bagel place in the Monterey area

This place is not half bad. I went here on Sunday after spoiling my brother with a Target shopping spree for college. The bagel dog was average, the reuben sandwich was okay and the california bagel bite I had was yummy. Friendly service, clean establishment and they have a drive thru read more

Let me start by saying the bagel wasnt bad. Secondly, i've had years of experience as a manager/Gm in the food industry and understand standards when it comes to service and guest satisfactory. From the minute we walked in, we were treated like dirt. Firstly every single team member had a headset on... why? Which one of them is working the drive thru? All of them? It took 5 minutes for 5 different people to walk around, stare at us and obviously judging us with their eyes before someone helped us. And clearly each person didn't want to help us since they didn't know us. From then on it took another almost 10 minutes to ring us up. Every person was doing something random instead of having a system down, all while still using those judgemental eyes. As im looking around i'm noticing all the flaws, and im sorry but if one of my team members came In wearing a crop top, thats a no no. You can tell they cater to their regulars and bigger orders. Because every couple or family that came after us, 4 to be exact, all got their stuff way before we did and rung up. All we ordered was two happy cow bagels (with tomato, sprouts and onion). Honestly disappointed at how this playiny is being ran. If you need a consultant to come in and fix you, i'd be more than happy to come in and do just that. They'll still get my business, and i have hope for them. but I truly hope the general manager of this location sees this and uses it to better them. read more

Would recommend just using the drive through if you're in a hurry. We ordered online one day and called in our order the next and saw that the drive through line folks were getting their orders significantly faster than mine. Bagels were good. Generous cream cheese and salmon. Bagel dogs had cheddar in the bagel. read more

I think all eating establishments should have restrooms. But this Bagel Bakery does not. My question: what about parents of small children who need the bathroom? What do they do? Or elderly folks? Or anyone else? Shame on you, Bagel Bakery, for not having a public restroom. read more
