★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jessica R · Feb 2026

Staying downtown for a few days and decided to get a bagel sandwich mid morning. I got the veggie bagel sandwich which lacked on a few levels. It does not come with cream cheese or any kind of condiment. I wasn’t aware of this as the person helping me asked about cream cheese. I said I wanted chive cream cheese. When I went to pay, I was charged over $3 for the cream cheese. That’s when I found out the sandwich doesn’t come with it and it’s extra. I don’t mind paying extra for cream cheese on a sandwich but not over $3. I paid less for my sparkling water! The bagel itself was pretty good, good flavor and texture. I got the everything bagel which they called ‘super seeded’. The chive cream cheese had good flavor, mild and not over powering. The tomatoes seemed a little mealy. The sprouts we

I had breakfast at Bagel Bakery in Monterey and it was amazing! The staff were quick, friendly, and made the experience very pleasant. The bagels were fresh and flavorful — I had the everything bagel with egg and cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. This is definitely the best spot in town for a quick, satisfying bagel and deli-style breakfast. Highly recommended!

I wasn't expecting a real bagel. It's legitimately close to New York style bagels and very good. Not small. Lots of cheese. I got the New York lox bagel. It was massive. Impressive for a tourist town like Monterey. Coffee's really good too. Also a nice place to sit and watch the street go by, or work on your laptop if you need to.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sarah W · May 2025

Cute bagel shop with huge variety. I asked for mine toasted, and it was not very toasted or warm. The sandwich toppings were good, but the bagel itself was tough.

This spot was pretty average. My boyfriend and I stopped by for breakfast, and while it wasn’t terrible, it definitely didn’t meet our expectations. I ordered a bagel with honey butter spread, assuming it would be honey butter cream cheese—but that was my mistake for not clarifying. The bagel was decent, but not what I had in mind, so I was a bit disappointed. The chocolate croissant, however, was a real letdown. It wasn’t flaky at all—just soggy, likely from being heated in the microwave. The chocolate was overly sweet, and we couldn’t even finish it because it was so unappetizing. Honestly, Starbucks does a much better job with croissants. My boyfriend had the ham & cheese croissant, which he said was just okay. Unfortunately, it was also soggy. We paid around $18 for three below-par
