This place is almost an institution. Bagels are delicious and fresh. Service is friendly Santa Cruz style. The place is clean and well maintained and stocked. Keep in mind the bagels sometimes gone before closing. That's because they're fresh and so yummy! read more

Damn.... That cheese Louie cream cheese is on another level. I'm still thinking about it. It's super garlicky and herby. It heightened the flavor profile of the bagel itself. My only comment is that the bagel was toasted a little too hard and the eggs cooked a little hard but they were seasoned pretty well and I loved the veggies inside. I also bought some cool drinks I'm excited to try. The have a fully stocked fridge of sodas, teas, soda water, yerba mate, probiotic sodas and all the things. My type of place and my type of vibes! I've never been to this location but I will return! read more

Great selection of Bagels & spreads. Menu with lots of other items. I was getting bagels for the office. Super friendly.

Great little find. Moments away from our hotel. In an older building with outdoor patio for us and the dog. Both of us had the scrambagel. Scrambled eggs and cheese on a bagel of choice. There are many variations for the scrambagel. Tasty and quick service. read more

Cheap and good , customer service kinda awful which ruined this place for me and it was my first time going there . MID bagels tbh , you're paying for cream cheese with random ingredients instead of an actual sandwich read more

Outstanding, will try again when we are in Santa Cruz!!!! Great for a road trip. Worked well in the car...

I never understand the bagel hype till I tired the Bagelry. Everything from here is good.

This place gets worse every day. The employees never acknowledge you when you walk in . They seem to hate their job. They are always talking amongst each other or on their phones. They close at 2pm so at 1;30pm they already have the bagels in the case in bags. They make you feel like you're annoying them because you're placing your order. The manager is just as bad. read more

I'm 99% sure there was a part of a bug in my bagel. It was green with small black dots on the sides and little hairs. What the actual f**k

Time to check in. These bagels are hard under flavored and lack the true meaning of bagel. I understand this business has been around a long time, but it is nothing but disappointing to know that's the best Santa Cruz can do. read more

I came per a friend's recommendation, and I am disappointed to say this place did not live up to the Santa Cruz hype. The bagels and spreads offered were very underwhelming, and everything I tasted was very mild in flavor. I tried the signature "Pink Flamingo," and every mouthful was just pure, raw onions with an unpleasant raw tomato paste flavor from the spread, and the bagel itself was incredibly dry. I also got a chai tea, and it was also mild in flavor and not that great. However, one of my friends got a hot cider, and that was good. In the future, I unfortunately will not be returning! read more

Awful Bagels. They tasted stale and day old. No real flavor, dried out and the texture sucks. I have had these bagels many times before without knowing it. They have been provided for staff before at work and I always thought they were crappy store bought bagels. I recognized them as soon as I took a bite out of kin this morning. The cream cheese options are excellent and very tasty. Maybe that's what every one is raving about? I am an east coast bagel and pizza snob. But there are a lot of bagels out here that pass for me. These don't. Won't be coming back read more

Bagelry is a local bagel store owned everyday from 7 to 2pm for breakfast. I had the bagel with egg and bacon, it was delicious. They have a out door spot allow you to eat and work. It is nice. Service is limited to the frontdesk cashier and ambiance is a local Cafe environment. read more

I've been coming to the bagelry since I was a child but I will no longer be a customer not because the bagels aren't good it's because the owner was very rude to a child he yelled at the young boy . Be careful letting your child go there alone ! read more

Bagels! I go the Bagelry off seabright and in Soquel, they are consistent in both. I think parking here is a little better, but overall experience and food is the same. I would choose extra cream cheese every time if I could but I don't think my heart would last very long.. read more

Came here at 1pm on a Saturday. There were a couple other customers waiting for their orders, but otherwise no line. They were out of "everything" bagels, so my friend got a "whole wheat everything" bagel instead. I got a sesame bagel with 1/2 Lox & Cream Cheese with green onions, and it was delicious! The 1/2 portion meant only 1 half of the bagel had the cream cheese spread with smoked salmon, and the other half was plain. This was the perfect portion for my picnic on the beach! read more

Try the tuna melt on a pesto bagel!!! If you're at the Seabright location, ask Chrissy to make it...you won't be disappointed!!!

Great bagels, would recommend going in the morning for the freshest bagels. Line can be long, but moves fast. I recommend the egg sandwiches, but not too big of a fan of their special sandwiches (just me tho!) Day olds seem to be hard but a quick pop in the microwave with a damp paper towel softens them up quick! read more

Lox bagel was covered in far too much red onion. Table space for our family of four wasn't possible with stealing a chair from another table so we could sit together. Interior was dated and uncomfortable. Service was great! read more

Love the bagels and spreads! Service is pleasant, efficient and fast! They keep me coming back!

Steer clear of this place! My husband and I are new to this area, thought we would give it a go here We stood in line; this was Saturday mid- morning Our greeter was very friendly, took our order (6 bagels, cut in 1/2- three sesame seed, two pesto one onion) Not difficult, right? 25 minutes later after seeing the 4 customers after me receiving their orders I asked politely if there was an issue with our order--apparently someone else took it (they wrote down a male name, Paul instead of my name) Got my order then and when we got home they had given us three poppy seed instead of sesame seed-- oh well-- The bagels were also not to our liking-- they were small and hard ( not large and soft as what we are used to )-- not bad, just not very exciting-- and I'm sorry but we won't be back! read more

Bagels and cream cheeses are solid! Some toppings taste like come from a can.. :( Person taking orders and ringing up customers needs a bit of training on customer service. I prefer the other location as they make me feel welcomed as a patron. read more

The bagels are smaller than the average/normal size bagel, overpriced, and the staff is always rude. AND they didn't even get my order correct. I asked for light butter and received HEAPS OF CREAM CHEESE. Go to House of Bagels in Scott's Valley. read more

Consistently delicious bagels! They have an option for everyone, including hummus and a tofu spread that are vegan friendly.

Best Bagels Ever!!! I've been going to the Bagelry for 33 years. Hands down, best bagels and spreads on the West Coast! Love ya! read more

Was one of the best lox bagels I've ever had. Thanks, The Bagelry!

I typically dig The Bagelry but they have been #fail the last couple times I've been able to go. The service gets worse and worse each time. They also mess up orders pretty consistently. I ordered a poppy moxie with cheese louise and they didn't even add the olives! In addition, they only gave a super weak amount of green onions (see my picture). The bagel is still ok and the cheese louise is still solid. They also don't keep a good stock of domino cookies in any store and they are half the reason why I go. Last time I went, they didn't give us a hummus in a container, like we ordered, but put it on a bagel so we were overcharged. It's a real letdown because I now live outta town so this spot is supposed to be a treat. Instead, it's just a trick. 2 stars. read more

Ordered the smoked salmon spread, which I've ordered dozens of times before at the place downtown. First time visiting the place on Soquel and what a disappointment. The spread tasted of nothing but acrid red onion. I threw it away. Hard to believe that anyone thought it was good enough to offer to customers. Won't go back to that location. read more

This place used to be my favorite, I hadn't had it in a while, and I just went to get a bagel and was so disappointed when I got home and the bagel had like no cream cheese. Like who wants to eat a dry bagel? Really disappointed that it wasn't the same as it used to be. Used to be so good. read more

Bagels were so thick and hard. It honestly felt like I was chewing into cardboard. I got the pesto bagel w plain cream cheese, and my brother got an everything bagel w plain cream cheese. I thought I got a bad batch, but his was also carboardy. Wouldn't recommend. Other items on the menu might be good, but not the bagels read more

Extremely rude staff. Complained about the $1 tip I gave on an $8 dollar order. The bagels were poorly made and burnt. This place has really gone down hill. read more

Mediocre customer service as well as mediocre bagels. I don't get what the big deal is. We ordered a bagel with moxie, which is supposed to come with green onions and black olives and they left out the black olives. Cashier was less than enthusiastic and didn't ask me if I wanted my receipt. This is the second Bagelry location I've tried and I am disappointed yet again. I won't be coming back whenever I visit Santa Cruz. read more

This place is pretty much the bomb. I'm an LA native with 100% New York Jewish blood and have given up the hunt for the perfect bagel in San Francisco where I've lived for a decade. Alas, visiting a friend this past weekend who's a new Santa Cruz-an, she *insisted* we wake up to The Bagelry. Shabam! These guys are on it. Absolutely delicious, fresh, perfectly sized bagels that would fool any bagel aficianado. We ordered a half dozen, and honestly, one wasn't better than the other, they were each uniquely their own and put me in a serious food coma. Their spreads are fantastic too - perfectly creamy and flavorful while not overwhelming any bagel flavor should you mix-and-match. The Bagelry, you have my undying support (and tummy) on my monthly jaunts to Santa Cruz for the rest of my Bay Area life. read more

Bagels are not good. Dense and not chewy, they taste like sawdust. Huge disappointment. Wanted to support a local place but can't recommend this one. read more

I like the Bagelry but all I WANT is a well toasted bagel. NOT a burnt on the top non toasted on the bottom. I am not sure what i need to express in order to receive a well toasted non burnt bagel. Perhaps the toasters only warm or burn. HOW I LIKE MINE: I enjoy my bagels soft and hot on the inside and crispy dark brown on the outside. At home I usually need to toast the bagel three times on the regular to low setting to achieve this. I GET IT: I understand a breakfast bagel shop can be busy and time is an issue. However I know the bagel I want takes time, so I allot the time and expect to wait. I know my bagel cannot be rushed if made right. So dont RUSh IT! grrrrrr MY STRUGGLE: I have requested a well done bagel and it came out burnt and not hot on the inside, as if only the outside was scorched. I have asked for my bagel to be toasted twice, uh not the desired effect still!, the outside was kind of toasted and the inside was warm but not hot. Finally I asked for my bagel to be quad toasted, with a puzzled look from the cashier an "OK" was muttered. The end result was a burnt bagel cold on the outside and yes tasted very burnt. wOW idk what I gott DO?....mAKE THEM AT HOME. OR F.it( Forget it) and just have fruit and toast. FYI: The bagels here are made on site. so from the dough to the door, its pretty home made. So the bagels are firmer here, not like Noah's at all! And more dense, the dough is a yellow color. But the toppings for the bagels are great. TRy the hummus its tasty also the egg salad I really like. read more
