Finding a great bagel in San Diego can be a difficult mission. I've been here for years, and…read morethought maybe it was time to give up the bagel ghost- but then I heard about marigold bagels. SUCH GOOD BAGELS AND SCHMEAR! I had the salt bagels with lox schmear, and suddenly I was home. The bagels are fantastic, I highly recommend the salt bagel. The bagels are delightfully chewy and soft (and they keep nicely, just toast them up the following day if you don't eat the bakers dozen all at once (sorta joking).

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Super popular, super crowded…read more The Sunday morning line was no joke. I lucked out and got there right before the line got really long, but they had only one cashier so it still took quite a while (eventually a second cashier came out). It's not a huge place, so seating was limited, but there was also some outdoor seating. I got a plain toasted bagel with lox dill spread. They really give you a lot of filling, and while the bagel was good, can't say it was the best bagel I've ever had (good crust, but the interior didn't have that slightly moist elasticity i like). I got a bottle of fresh-squeezed OJ while in line, which turned out to be very good but also very spendy. Glad I tried them, but not sure if I'd return, unless I knew it wouldn't be that crowded.

Finally made it to this coffee shop in Mission Valley…read more Parking is a little bit challenge because it is shared with the apt complex. Loved the relax cool vibe of the place. Decor is awesome, looks like Old School New Graffiti style all around. There are tables inside and out to sip your coffee and hangout. They do offer some sandwiches, bowls and pastries besides the drinks. We ordered a Latte and a Cappucino with Almond Milk. Dark Roast Coffee Beans but of great quality. Can't review the food since we didn't order any.

It was a busy morning, so they doing their best to keep up with orders while people were asking if their bagels were ready. The workers were being so patient and communicating with customers that they were on it. The coffee TASTES like coffee! Silly to say, but it's soooo delicious and I love when coffee doesn't taste like a complete sugary drink. We had two iced coffees (basic sitch and blondie mocha) and their drip coffee. Would definitely order again. They were out of some ingredients, but they advertised it, so customers were not lead astray. Easily, their bagels make this the place to go!

I came on a Saturday morning around 11am and was able to order and get my food within 15 minutes. There's some tables inside but many people took their food to-go. Prices are reasonable (~$4.50 for a bagel with cream cheese) as well. I got the garlic bagel with the Salmon Spread (~$6.50). The salmon spread was really nice and the added tomato and red onion were nice additions. Our friends also enjoyed their bagels with their respective cream cheeses. The texture was good and solid overall. Nothing overly aesthetic, nothing that click baits you, PL Bagels is a good reminder of what food was and still currently can be in this world of hyperbole, influencers, and maximalist food.

We took a bunch of pastries to the ballgame, and snacked on a variety of sweet to savory items…read more Everything was top notch, tasty, and on point with Japanese flavors. Matcha croissant (with standout matcha cream inside) strawberry croissant, bacon and shiso twist, cream filled buns, matcha kinako donut, curry pan (hefty curry to bread ratio was a winner, not saucy, but full of flavor). As the saying goes, it wasn't "too sweet" so it was delish!! IYKYK. And yes, I had a bite of everything. Surprisingly the hojicha lattes were standout as well. I wasn't expecting such a deep nutty flavor from a green tea brew, new fan. Cute spot, parking is tricky, but worth the stop.

I came here once a long time ago, but since I'm usually not in Coronado in the mornings, I never…read morereally had a chance to come back. This past Sunday, I decided to head over for a morning walk and finally stopped in again. The shop is pretty small with limited seating, so it's not really a place to hang out. It seems more like a grab-and-go coffee spot. There aren't many great coffee shop options in this part of Coronado, so I can definitely see why it's popular with both locals and tourists. I arrived just before the morning rush, so I was able to order and get my drink almost immediately. The cashier was super friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. I also really appreciated that they offer a military discount--it's always nice to see businesses supporting the military community. I ordered a medium cold brew with coconut cold foam and asked for very light ice. I was so happy they actually listened! So many coffee shops still fill the cup with ice even when you ask for light ice, and I hate watered-down coffee. This one was perfect. The coconut cold foam was absolutely delicious and added just the right amount of sweetness to complement the bold flavor of the cold brew without overpowering it. I also love that they serve organic coffee. I'll definitely have to remember to stop by more often whenever I'm in Coronado in the mornings. Next time, I need to try one of their donuts too!
