    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.

    Gluten Free & Low Net Carb Treats!

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

    Jalapeño Swiss bagel

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    This place isn't what it used to be just as another customer said sadly. Workers aren't friendly, inconsistency with food. Been ordering avocado toast for years and today I get it seems like it was just all tossed in a box with no care in the world. Usually it's mashed up and spread on the toast with it actually looking like avocado toast. This time avocado slices are just thrown in there. What a disappointment with this place I wonder if ownership has changed.

    Mango boba with pineapple. Flavors are good but not a fan of the mango popping boba.

    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!

    Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

    I feel bad for some many good eateries and drink places. Amidst inflation, high costs,…read moresocial-media-brain-damaged-angry people, and all the road ragers... It's easier than ever to nitpick and put down great places for food and drink. However, given all the above, it's still impossible to gripe about Bag of Cakes. It is UNBELIEVABLE how GREAT their food, people and prices are. In fact, I don't know how they do it! If you want AMAZING drinks and snack, get over here. I wont bother to tell you what coffee, matcha and bakery items I got... Because everything was so damn good. Best of all, the prices are low for what you get! Get over here as soon as you can! And they're in the same little plaza as GoGoMa (see my review on that amazing place!)

    I've been holding off on this review because I hate when the good places go viral and I get…read moreswarmed. But Bristol Farms is such a gem, and way better than Whole Foods. Even though each store has a strengths, I feel like overall Bristol Farms is the better of the two. This is speaking as millennial and maybe Bristol Farms serves a more immature crowd. Hopefully it stays that way. They have everyday products and they have very niche products. Literally something for everyone their bakery is delicious and of course they have their classic big cookies that are served warm. I haven't had anything from the juice/coffee bar yet, but I will next, however the poke bar and the hot bar, never disappoints and that is why I'm writing this review finally. Today I had a flounder piccata mashed potatoes, perfectly roasted vegetables, and pasta Bolognese with huge chunks of beef. Everything was delicious. The flounder even remained crunchy two hours after leaving the store they don't have the variety in the hot bar that Whole Foods has, however, the quality is far superior, and the flavor is in the upper echelon compared to Whole Foods. These are consistent findings within the self-service food area even within the deli carving station. Sometimes they have turkey briskets. I believe I've even purchased prime rib there and the quality and flavor is always on point consistently the presentation of all of their items never fails either also, every time I go to Bristol Farms you're always greeted with a smile. The staff is really nice and in general they look like they're happy to be there which makes the shopping experience that much better.

I inquired about why the self checkout stands are always closed here and the cashier Joanna replied with a snarky attitude about not being able to "watch" the self checkout or something along those lines. For a "premium" grocer, the less than "premium" customer experience is definitely not the case at Bristol Farms.

    This is definitely a place for all of the girly girls out there who love a good afternoon tea time…read more It's located in a small unassuming strip mall but as soon as you see the cute front entrance you know you're in for a treat. The inside is decorated in florals, pink and all the pretty things. It's not a huge space but the tables are spaced out well and can accommodate larger groups. The Royal Tea Experience ($45) includes a pot of tea of your choice and an assortment of 5 tea sandwiches, 2 scones and a trio of desserts. All of the sandwiches were good, but the best one was the roast beef & arugula on a croissant and my least favorite was the turkey cranberry pinwheel. The scones were moist and paired well with the strawberry preserves. The desserts were cute but not as good as everything else. They have a nice selection of organic premium teas to choose from. I went with the Saigon, a jasmine green tea with pandan. I really liked this unique flavor. They also have pink cane sugar cubes that they make in-house and a variety of milk options. The girl serving us was so nice and took some great photos for us. We were celebrating a birthday and they added a candle to one of the desserts which was nice. It's all the little things like that and the glitter in our tea that make this place special. If you're looking for something fun to do with your girls, you've come to the right place.
