    Looking for your next breakfast spot? YLS Bakery & Cafe is a local favorite with locations in Yorba Linda and El Segundo! They're known for artisan donuts, ham ans cheese croissant, fresh-baked bagels, and award-winning coffee. Don't miss the famous strawberry cream, Oreo and guava glazed donuts, or the delicious egg and bacon Sandwich. They also offer keto and gluten-free options, so there's something for everyone. Definitely worth checking out.

    Still a favorite years later- I love my iced coffee w/ brown sugar syrup, salt bagel, and donut. A true community staple!

    We often get YLS for breakfast when in the area, we usually do order pick up because they are always so busy. They have yummy bagel sandwiches and breakfast burritos. Portions are generous and their scones and donuts are really good too! They also make a decent cup of coffee. They have a small amount of seating inside and outside. Service is usually friendly but I have had a grumpy person helping me before. The restaurant itself is always clean and has cute decor. I will say the only thing I have gotten here that I didn't like is the egg salad sandwich. It had all of the ingredients I love but it was not mixed well so the flavor was off. Still, this will be a place we come because we like it so much.

    YLS has excellent bagels, including my favorite jalapeño Swiss version! The raspberry filled donut is also marvelous, with the softest dough and flavorful jelly. They even have gluten-free products! And it's super close to President Nixon's birthplace if you're over that way.

    Love coming here for an iced coffee and a donut. My favorite is the chocolate on chocolate donut. I've tried some of the other pastries, but they haven't stood out as much. On my last visit, my friend ordered the jalapeño cheese croissant. It was supposed to be heated, but the cheese wasn't melted, which was disappointing. Otherwise, it's a great spot when you're craving coffee and something sweet. Just keep in mind that if you visit during the last hour before closing, the pastry selection can be limited and the shop may be a bit messier from the day's traffic, so earlier is usually better.

    Bagel with barely and cream cheese

    Bought a bagel with cream cheese (the cream cheese is like $2.75) and they were so skimpy with it. Very disappointed, in the past they used to give a good amount but now it barely covers the bagel. Way to cheap out on your customers YLS!

    Cheddar Bagel w/ Spread
    Madison C.

    Place used to be my go to around 3 years ago, however the quality has changed and the workers aren't the friendliest like they used to be. There were maybe like 8 girls behind the counter but none of them acknowledged me and there wasn't even a line. I just kind of stood there waiting? Thankfully one girl finally saw and helped me out, others did not even look. I got a cheddar bagel w butter, why was there just a blob of butter not spread out? 6.5/10 They did add seating since the last time I came and it's constantly busy, maybe I just did not have a good experience this day.

    Avocado Toast on whole wheat bagel
    Michelle S.

    First timer after seeing some yelp recommendations. I liked the avocado bagel. It came Layered with avocado, tomato, onion, and a hard boiled egg. Garlic salt was sprinkled on top. The addition of the garlic salt was just alright - a little too salty for me, but over all the open faced avocado bagel sandwich tasted good and was very filling. I also order the Dubai chocolate mocha. I really enjoyed this - the coffee flavor is outstanding. The cafe is cute, but there is almost no indoor table seating. I believe this is due to busy times and needing the extra space for customers to wait in line. I came on a random weekday at 1:30. The service was unfortunately, less than welcoming. I was kind of disappointed. The gentleman helping me seemed irritated and when I had a question, seemed bothered that I didn't already know what bagel flavors they had. I recieved both my drink and my bagel in a timely manner. There are a few tables and chairs outside, so I sat out there to eat. While I was eating, the same gentleman came outside and was stacking the tables and chairs to bring inside for closing. I was there at 1:30 and they closed at 2pm. I felt unwelcome and like I was in the way. The food was still very good. If I come back it will only be a carry out order. I would not stay. Also, the ground right outside the store was quite dirty and could use a power wash. 4 stars because the food and coffee is good and maybe they were just having a bad day.

    Bagel w/ Spread

    YLS Bakery & Cafe is an absolute gem! It was super packed when I went, but it was 100% worth the wait. The space inside is so beautiful and spotlessly clean. I got a caramel latte and a bagel with veggie cream cheese, and both were delicious! Plus, a special shoutout to Olena, she was so sweet and friendly despite how busy it was. Will definitely be coming back!

    How much indoor seating is there?

    Hi Susan! We currently don’t have indoor seating but we have a few tables outside at this time as well some neighboring establishments that offer seating. We are in the works of getting some seating inside our bakery (bench and small side tables)… 

    This place is listed as having outdoor seating. Is that still available?

    Yes outside seating only but very limited, they have 2 tables only

    Does YLS accept Apple Pay?

    Yes

    Are there any vegan pastry or donut options?

    Nope! I would ask for this to be offered since they cater to gluten free and keto diets. Why not vegan?? ☹️… 

    What does the "S" in YLS stand for?

    Well that, our good friend, is kind of a big secret. You’ll just have to come in and find out!

A wide variety. The apple fritters are loaded with fruit! Today was just a run for donut holes. They have more than just donuts also to accompany a quick stop for breakfast or snack. I haven't tried lunch but they have a good menu! The staff is always smiling and friendly and this is knowing they get up early to start their shifts! Great service, great product! You can grab and go or sit and relax in one of the inside tables. Bottom line this is your stop for great donuts!

I came late, like a couple hours before closing, but they still had a decent selection of donuts available. They all had a beautiful presentation and looked delicious, but I managed to narrow it down to a chocolate cronut and a maple bacon raised donut. The cronut was generously dipped in a deliciously decadent chocolate and was very good. The maple bacon donut base was light and fluffy, but the bacon would have complemented the flavor profile better if the grease were patted down before it was sprinkled on top. You can see from the photo that it's still quite shiny (greasy). They do have breakfast sandwiches as well as grab and go meals and snacks if you're looking for something a bit more filling or healthier than donuts. This visit was definitely better than my first one, so I'll keep Station Donuts in mind next time I'm at n the mood for a donut.
