Came here for a delicious bagel outing with the family. Hits the spot! Got the Lowers as the friendly cashier likes it. Delicious with a fresh cup of OJ. Chill, friendly, and scrumptious local spot. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a sucker for a good ole' BLT.. the everything bagel was HANDS down the best I have ever had. Super generous portion I saved 1/2. My son had the everything bagel and garden veg cream cheese and he finished the entire thing. Would recommend 10/10! Service is great! They could use some music or vibe but all in all worth stopping in! read more

I finally stopped by The Bagel Shack and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming and laid-back, and you can tell they really care about what they do. The bagels are incredible -- perfectly chewy on the inside with that classic golden crust on the outside. You can taste how fresh everything is. The menu has something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for a classic bagel with cream cheese or something more loaded and filling. Everything was made fresh and came out fast, even during a busy time. The staff was super friendly, patient, and happy to make recommendations. This place easily stands out as one of the best bagel spots around. If you're a bagel lover (or even if you're not yet), The Bagel Shack will win you over. I'll definitely be coming back again and again! read more

I love the bagels here! They are fresh and perfectly doughy. My go to's are the everything bagel seasoning bagel and the chocolate chip bagel. Pro Tip: If you pay with cash, I believe they charge you less! But they also accept Apple Pay as well. read more

The Bagel Shack has my favorite bagels in Irvine! Their bagels have that nice chewy exterior that I've been searching for. It's a little more pricey than other bagel shops, with bagels being about $2.10 each or $12 for half a dozen. Interestingly, they don't upcharge for their Swiss, cheddar or jalapeño cheddar bagels. We got a lox bagel ($16), with cream cheese, tomato, onion and capers and served open-faced. I had been used to the fancy bagel sandwiches in LA, so it was almost a shock to see an old-fashioned style one for about the same price. At least it was loaded with three slices of salmon on each half. Online ordering prices on their website are inflated vs. in-store (single bagel is $2.75 online vs $2.10 and half-dozen is $15 instead of $12). This is a new location, so there wasn't any line when I visited on a weekend morning (as opposed to East Coast Bagels, where there's always a line at that time). read more

Bagel Shack was just okay. I ordered a bagel with chive cream cheese, and it took 7 minutes to get to me--untoasted. I didn't specifically ask for it toasted, but most bagel places toast by default, so I was surprised. The bagel itself was dry, which made me wonder if toasting would have helped. The staff all seemed tired and unenthusiastic, though it was 8 AM, so I get it. On top of that, the bagel cost $5 +, which felt a bit pricey for what I got. For the wait time, quality, and price, I expected better. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Love this shop! So glad to have one in Irvine. If you haven't been...Get here! If you're thinking about it...just go! So many offerings in bagel and sandwich choices you can try something new with each visit. Freshly made each day so you're getting the best they have with each order. The staff was friendly with a warm greeting and attention to detail. Quick service and food prep made it a breeze. Interior and outside options for seating if you're staying to eat. Already planning my return trip so maybe I'll get to run into you on your visit. read more

There are plenty of parking spaces. They have some indoor seating. I ordered the Lowers with Sausage. You can also choose your own bagel and I chose the jalapeno one and it was good! Recommendation(s): - Lowers with sausage Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Plenty of parking - Accept Apple Pay read more

EDIT: I appreciate the response from the owner but I did want to clarify that my poor experience was on 1/20/26, not today 2/4/26. My review is late as I didn't want to write it in the moment and be overly harsh. The bagels here are great and I've never had any issues when ordering delivery. However, I placed an online order to pickup some bagels for work and two sandwiches and I was very disappointed in the service. I arrived ten minutes after the pickup time and still had to wait an additional 10+ minutes for my order. I would completely understand if it was busy but the only other customers in the store were leaving when I arrived. The employees did not try to hustle or make any effort to get my order out. They were just chit chatting and one employee that arrived early for her shift to eat, wanted to take the bacon that was intended for my sandwich that was already 15 minutes late at that point. Also, there was no greeting when I walked in-- just a blank stare when I said good morning. Weird experience in store. Slow service and not very friendly. I'll stick to delivery or only come in person if I have lots of time to spare and not on my way to work. read more

Service = horrible. Bagel sandwich = horrible. Paid for avocado = no avocado. Bacon tasted bad so the sandwich was thrown away. Such a bummer! We were so excited to try this place. read more

Love the place and would come again! I really appreciate how well packed the bagels are, no need for extras! Service was excellent and they were super nice! Will come again. read more

Literally some of the best bagels I've ever had in my life. Made sure you try their sesame seed bagel. Exceptional service that Chad took amazing care of me 6/5 stars!!! read more

This spot will satisfy that bagel sandwich craving you have without making you think you overpaid. The price of food has gone up so much and it's hard to distinguish what is a better value: eating out or making it yourself, especially if you don't mind cooking. This spot gives you that hearty sandwich with familiar flavors that you expect. On the bagel side, however, they had interesting flavors like french toast. I did not try those but will be back for more. I ordered the Lowers w/ Sausage, on a cheddar bagel. Their cheddar is a whole piece on top of the bagel, not the shredded one sprinkled on top. Big plus one here. Their sasauge was flavorful and juicy. The scrambled egg was not hard. It costed me $7.72 before tax. Considering that my local McDonald's sausage muffin is just as costly, this is a much bigger portion, better tasting, and a feel-better experience for supporting a local business. read more

Fantastic bagels and so fresh. Probably one of the best I have ever had. Looking for to many more visits

My go-to bagel shop! We use Too Good To Go to get 8 bagels for $6! And they're still so fresh and gourmet. Good for breakfast for the week :) Also got their blueberry cream cheese which was almost $6 for a tub but it was light and airy and had a good blueberry flavor. read more

Definitely a solid bagel shop! Been here a few times since they opened. Love how convenient and close they are. Typically they're pretty lowkey on weekdays and busy on weekends. Love how it's not trying to be a New York bagel shop, but rather embracing Orange County with their menu and decor. The service is usually solid. I definitely prefer it when the manager is there as he is always very friendly and welcoming, as opposed to the teenagers who don't seem as eager to answer questions. I typically switch up my order to try new things and no matter what, the bagels never disappoint. The texture is always so good. The one complaint is that the cheese bagels seem a little greasy, but other than that it's a phenomenal bagel. Glad this place is nearby read more

Returned after a while; great food and service. They have never disappointed. The clientele was a bit rushed and rude. Couldn't wait to get out of there with my delicious food. I recommend the staff to take charge of their waiting line. read more

While I have yet to try the bagel portion of this place I'll say their smoothies pop like no other. I love a nice strong fruit flavor when I order a smoothie of any kind and wanted to treat myself after a long work week. Ended up going for the solid uber eats deal and got two smoothies for 15 bucks. Overall taste popped, it actually came with a carrier (which is a low bar surprisingly with smoothie places doing online orders nowadays) and solid for the size given. I'd love to go in again someday soon and try the rest of their menu. read more

Drove by and stumbled upon this little bagel place. Both bagel sandwiches we ordered were freshly made and oh-so-hot from the oven! Totally delicious and unexpected from such an unassuming place.

What a great little spot! Walked in on a Monday on a whim and was pleasantly surprised on the quality of the bagel sandwiches. I got the Wedge (pictured) on a Swiss bagel and my husband got the Lox bagel. Both were served open face and each was stacked with toppings. The Wedge was *chefs kiss*. They won a repeat customer! read more

Host was nice, bagels were fresh and tasty and was in and out quickly. Jalapeño cream cheese spread was yummy

Is it normal to sell day old bagels? First time I gave it a try and will be the last. Perhaps you are new and sales are slow... My Cinnamon Raisin was dry and tasted like compressed sawdust... sorry about this but it wasn't cheap either. I would pay if it tasted better, but go buy a bagel at East Coast Bagel in Irvine to see why the line is out the door. I'll continue to go there. Good luck to you all. read more

The Uppers bagel sandwich, according to the menu, has cubed beef steak, caramelized onion and pepper jack cheese and egg of course. Mine also had red onion but was delicious. If you don't like red onion you might want to tell them. I would make this a 5 star bagel by adding mayo to provide a little moisture. The egg is well done so a jammy yolk instead of well done would help too. Other than that is was really good and unique among bagel sandwiches in the area. The price is right too. I'll be back to try the other ones. The service, ambiance and speed were all 5/5. There are other breakfast sandwich options in this shopping center but this place is the best. read more

After visiting the location in Lake Forest several times, I was very looking forward to this location open as it's closer to where I live. I visited in the afternoon--given it was about an hour before closing, they were pretty slow. (Which was to be expected since this spot is more known for its breakfast). Inside was very clean and organized. For the time of the day, they still had a good selection of bagels left. The workers there were very friendly and took my order right away. I was in and out pretty fast which was good. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and a iced caramel latte. The bagel was very fresh and had a good amount of cream cheese to bagel ratio. I would have liked a little more toasty, but that's something I will ask for next time. I was actually surprised how coffee forward the latte was. It had a bold and strong coffee flavor with hints of caramel flavor--it was very good! I will be back and can't wait to try other sandwiches on their menu. read more
