    Lox Bagel Sandwich on plain bagel ! Yums
    Anna T.

    On the way to San Diego to hike so this is our preworkout meal! Carb up! I love a lox bagel and heard so many good things about this bagel shop. Since we were driving past it anyways we decided this would be the perfect pre workout snack! Got the Lox bagel on plain bagel per recommend by the employee! Delicious!

    I was more than pleased with our food and experience at Bagel Shack. The lox on a toasted everything bagel with chive cream cheese hit the spot! I also got an iced latte with oat milk that, surprisingly, may be the tastiest iced latte I've ever had in Orange County. It was so creamy and smooth. Super friendly peeps behind the counter and chill vibe.

    Great location, easy parking lot in a large strip mall. If we surf doheny in the morning we end up here a lot of the time after. My son loves the cinnamon crunch bagel with butter. The pic below is my daughter's lox on an everything bagel which looked solid. All of The Bagel Shacks we've been too are solid.

    Cute spot. Came in for a quick something to eat. I had to ask the worker for help as it was my first time here. So they have an option of turning the bagels into sandwiches with the option of breakfast or lunch, or they also had different spreads to enjoy from. The smoothie is really fresh, you can still taste the chunks of fruit in it.

    Seen this place during the week while going to work . Stopped by the week later ! Man this place is good , I had the old man , added tomatoes. I should've added capers . Next time . Good fresh bagels and toppings , and the cream cheese wasn't over whelming , was really good and tasty ! I suggest looking at the menu pamphlets they have so you're ready to order ! Place is chill , seems like a very busy place in the morning and for locals to hang out and enjoy breakfast.

    Bagel Shack in Dana Point makes some tasty bagels. My first time here because I was looking for a Starbucks and it so happens that Albertsons has one and The Bagel Shack was right next door. So I ordered a delicious lox bagel with jalapeño cheddar as the bagel. The taste was delicious together. A hint of cheesiness and spice all added together. They didn't skimp out on any of the ingredients and I would come back here to try another bagel.

    Right next to Albertsons Nice little place looks like a family run business. They have some amazing varieties of bagels and great service. Clean restroom. Price is a reasonable for coffee, bagels, and breakfast bagel sandwiches. Seems a lot of the locals come here Seating area inside and outside

    Quick service, several options, reasonably priced and so popular. We ordered few bagel sandwiches off the menu, there is also a bagel wall where customers can purchase their desired amount of freshly baked bagels, as well as choose from an assortment of cream cheeses and/or freshly squeezed juice. So glad we popped in here on our trip to Dana Point this weekend. Highly recommend stopping in!

    Check

    Quintessential bagel place. Get here early, some flavors sell out. We came for bagels & coffee. If you like bagels, stop, don't go anywhere else. Note that they close at 2:30pm

I also love that they have zero proof options on the menu. That's always a plus for me.

This place is like a little slice of paradise, brimming with Ohana and Aloha, and I'm here for it! First off, the **macadamia nut pancakes** are a game changer. Moist, fluffy, and bursting with flavor, they practically dance on your taste buds! If you're not careful, you might just end up ordering a second stack--no judgment here! And don't even get me started on the **spam musubi**. It's like a warm hug from an old friend--authentic and oh-so-delicious! You can almost hear the waves crashing as you take your first bite. Now, let's talk about the **kalibi **. Cooked to perfection, it's the kind of dish that makes you want to shout "Aloha!" at the top of your lungs. Seriously, I think I might've shed a tear of joy with each forkful. To wash it all down, the **Hawaiian latte** is a must-try! It took me back to the islands I miss so much--smooth, rich, and just the right amount of tropical. I may or may not have been tempted to sip it while wearing a grass skirt. In a nutshell, Stacks Pancakes is a delightful culinary escape that'll leave you smiling from ear to ear. So gather your friends and family, and experience the warmth of Hawaii without leaving the mainland. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! Aloha and pancakes for all!

This time, however, the experience was disappointing and honestly made us feel bad in front of our companions, whom we had invited. We drove 30 minutes on a Saturday morning in 90-degree summer heat to have breakfast at this restaurant, so we were really looking forward to enjoying the experience. Unfortunately, it turned into a very disappointing visit. After waiting about 45 minutes for a table which is understandable during busy weekend hours, we were seated outside in front on the sidewalk, with the sun hitting half of the table. I ended up sitting in the corner with an umbrella post directly in front of me to avoid the sun. We asked for another table inside or somewhere with complete shade, but were told it would take a while because there wasn't another table available for eight. What made the situation more concerning was that our party included a pregnant mother and young children, who by any standard needed a little extra attention and comfort in that heat. Our waiter was very polite and attentive, but one of the plates was forgotten and arrived about 20 minutes after everyone else had been served. We then ordered pancakes after meals, which took another 40 minutes to arrive after checking on them twice!!! By that time, everyone was extremely hot and uncomfortable, and we couldn't even stay to enjoy them--which was the main reason we had to come here. Unfortunately, no apology was offered for the mess up, delays or the uncomfortable seating situation. We sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously. We still like this restaurant and have recommended it for years, but this visit fell far below our expectations. Better accommodations during extreme summer heat and more timely food service would have made a big difference.
