This is the best deli in Isla Vista. It's reasonably priced, food comes out at a good pace, and the employees are hospitable and make your experience worthwhile. IV needs more delis! only thing i'd say is that I wish there were more options on the menu read more

They bake their own bagels and they are huge! We love the sesame and plain bagels would return definitely

Food is okay, but it took thirty minutes to get my DoorDash order which was just a bagel. I went in and asked them to tell me when it was ready and they forgot. Very inconsiderate read more

Hands down the best bagels in town. We'll worth the drive to Isla Vista before 12 noon. Daniel knows what he's doing and only offers the best! read more

The bagels are pretty good, but not sure it's worth for the wait. We went on a Saturday mid day so it was pretty busy but we had to wait over 30 minutes for two bagels. Also they don't wear gloves to prepare your food :/ read more

Nothing fancy here, with the exception of everything that goes into each Yetz's Delicious Bagel. Old world hand crafted bagel making in this small very busy spot speaks for itself. Their hand rolled New York Style Bagels are wonderful. Add lox, bacon eggs or cheese if you like, including some simple coffee choices and your breakfast is off to a most fulfilling adventure. Simply delicious . The menu is short and sweet, the bagel sandwiches cover every combination one would want. Or order your favorite bagel request. Get there early, they get busy and run out of bagels often. The service is simply friendly and they do work at keeping customers happy and informed. Enjoy and do order a nice coffee with that amazing bagel. A very cool quick breakfast destination. The Gaucho is my favorite! . The music is rocking eating out front on the sidewalk, they will turn it down if you ask. Nice place. Enjoy! read more

my friends and i went after deltopia, the wait was about an hour total (40 min in line and 20 min after) they gave us our drinks immediately after ordering,, the matcha was pretty good, its premade ahead of time so they just poured it out from a jug,, there's seating inside and outside, the bagels were very good, everything tasted very fresh and was seasoned well! i had "the works" with the garlic bagel read more

I am beyond excited that Santa Barbara finally has a legit bagel spot now! These bagels are hand rolled and boiled fresh daily. They have a light snap on the exterior and soft interior instead of being dense and dry. Their schmear (cream cheese) is fluffy and smooth. They also offer breakfast sandwiches. Yetz's shares the same space as Dank Bowls but during the morning hours. read more

I always go to Yetz's whenever I need a bagel and it never disappoints. I usually get the guacho with chive schmear

The bagel was so delicious and staff was really friendly!! You can see the bagels being made and the everything bagel 10/10! read more

Yetz's Bagels - Perfect lox breakfast sandwich. - Bagels Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Visiting from CT, this place was the only real bagel place I've been to this whole trip. They're boiled!!! The onion bagel was flakey and salty (good things) and absolutely cooked to perfection. The turkey melt was to die for. The music was at a comfortable volume (thank you as someone who's sensitive to sound). Enjoyed these NY style bagels, hope the kids in Isla Vista realize how lucky they are to not have to deal with California's "bagels" haha. read more

New Yorker here to confirm best bagels in town! Deli layout is just like ones on Long Island/NYC bagels are fresh and delish! Come when your not in a rush the place gets busy and good food takes time! read more

Was pretty disappointed with this place, not going to lie. With the spectacular reviews, and line out the door, I thought I was in for something special. Unfortunately our bagels were just very average. We got the sausage egg and cheese on plain, and the bagels were very salty, and tasted pretty bland beyond the saltiness flavor. Not the worst bagel I've had, but far away from the best. Based on my experience, the 35 minute wait wasn't worth it at all. If I have to wait 35 minutes or around that every time, I'll probably pass and look for another bagel shop. Unfortunately this place appears to be overhyped. read more

Fun place, good music, great atmosphere, friendly staff... annnnnnd great bagels (spoken as someone who lived in NYC for many years).

Literally the best bagels in southern Cali I've ever had. They're up there with NYC bagels. I'm in heaven right now read more

Yetz's Bagels - The Gaucho Bagel (What's left of it) - Bagels Near Me - Isla Vista, California

I moved to Lompoc from East Coast two years ago. Us New Yorkers are blessed with the best bagels in the country. Being a bagel snob it's been hard to find a good bagel joint. Today I was in Goleta and found a real gem in Yetz's! I ordered a large coffee, and an everything bagel with the works (Nova, onions, capers, and of course a nice shmear of cream cheese). The bagel was amazing, best I've had in California thus far, and all the toppings were quality. The coffee was great too. They were very busy, mostly with college students eating in or ordering on the run. Cashier was very polite and quick, and I only waited a few minutes for my order. read more

Amazing food quality, fresh, tasty and nice people running the show. I was even sent discount coupons just for coming in to try their restaurant. Great! Will definitely be back and recommend highly. read more

Long wait but totally worth it. Get extra bagels when you order your food, you won't regret it (& you won't want to get back in line). Good sandwiches, fantastic bagels! read more

So this has to be my favorite Bagel spot in the Santa Barbara area now. I discovered it a few weeks ago and I now go in pretty regularly for The Deluxe. It is a perfect Lox bagel sandwich. The owner Dan, is a dedicated baker that takes pride in his product and it shows. It isn't a huge menu and there aren't any "specialty" bagels like you see in some other places. But what they have is pure and simple. Excellent bagel. Glad I finally have a go to bagel shop close to home. read more

Yetz is so good i always get the Gaucho and it's the perfect way to start off my day! leaves me satisfied and the employees are always so nice :) read more

Busy place with great bagel sandwiches while us parents are visiting our UCSB students. Manager or owner was very customer focused!

Yetz's serves up the best bagel in Santa Barbara! My partner and I have made it a tradition to get bagels every Saturday morning. I get a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese and it has actual strawberry bits; no artificial flavors! My partner gets a garlic bagel with plain. The garlic is potent in the best way. The owner is hands on with his operations, weather he's making the bagels or ringing you out, he gives off the energy that he's happy to be there. read more

Yetz's Bagels - Plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Isla Vista, California

I was hopeful; but the bagels are not real bagels in this born and bred New Yorkers's opinion-Not New York bagels. The only place in California I've had a real bagel is from Boychik in San Francisco. The difference appears to be the flour -real bagel flour has a ton of protein in it and most places don't use it Because the bagels last longer if you use a lesser flour (also much more expensive). In my opinion these bagels are a compromise between real bagels and supermarket bagels. Nice kids working there though. read more

I had to come check out this place because I don't have many reviews. Location is in the heart of IV, the parking was not too bad. Customer service was friendly and food was decent. read more

Best bagels in town. I love getting the everything bagel with the chive schmear. They had a jalapeño schmear today that was so legit. Will definitely get that one again if it's available. read more

Super sweet staff! Very polite. Thank you so much. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely be back

Delicious Bagels in California! As a New York native who moved to Los Angeles seven years ago, I have sampled bagels from every bagel shop in the LA area, Palm Springs/Desert, San Francisco, Orange County, and San Diego, but none have come close to New York bagels. Yetz's Bagels is on par with a NY bagel! I was thrilled to satisfy my bagel craving while visiting the Montecito/Santa Barbara area. The service is exceptional as well. This small, cozy shop has a family-style vibe, unlike the typical corporate clone coffee shop. I would rate it a perfect ten out of ten! read more

Tasty bagel better than anything else in IV. Has that perfect crust on the outside but fluffy on the inside texture so it collapses just perfectly into a delicious breakfast sandwich. Eggs are scrambled perfectly and not overcooked or microwaved like most places, which is major underrated part of what makes a great breakfast sandwich in my opinion. The owner clearly did his bagel research and has a passion for it. He even came out to check on us as we were eating and asked for honest feedback. Can't wait to come back and try the Lox and the cream cheese! read more

Bagels have a nice crust and flavor, made in house. Got a BEC, egg would probably taste fresher fried instead of scrambled and Wish they had American cheese. Very nice staff read more

Great all around, real nice staff, great bagels and breakfast Sammies. Def reeomend trying this place out

These bagels are top notch and fairly priced. I haven't found a better bagel anywhere else in town. The schmears are top notch as well. Service was friendly, prompt, and on point. Highly recommended! This is how a bagel should taste. read more

Absolutely the best bagels in Santa Barbara county! Coming from a Jewish family full of bakers, been raised on bagels since I was a little kid. I have high standards when it comes to bagels, and this place hits all the marks. Perfectly chewy, nice brown exterior, but airy center, what not to love? We seriously needed some good bagels here in town, there's nothing that comes even close to this place! I got the deluxe which came with lox, chive, cream, cheese, and the usual toppings. The portion of lox was very generous, considering the price better than any competitor has to offer in the area! IV is pretty out of the way for me, and I normally try to avoid it because the parking is horrible and there's so much chaos with bicyclist and what not, but it's worth the journey for me. Now this is the only spot I will ever buy bagels at! I'm definitely going to be a regular customer for life, 11 out of 10 read more

Wanted to express our deep appreciation to Yetz Bagel. On short notice they were able to create beautiful delicious platters for us to pick up. They were very kind and understanding since this was going to be for an unexpected funeral service. The owner is incredibly compassionate and made the experience during a stressful time easy and so helpful. Will appreciate all the delicious food and the kindness that it was served with thank you so much. What a Mench! read more
