I’ve been coming here almost 15 years. Always slaps. Waited a year this time. Drove 14 hours. It missed today. Hard bagel, hard bacon, hard everything. Stingy with the cream cheese too.
Very good. The peanut butter and jam was good. The sandwiches were legit w avocado. They make their own bagels. It’s good to keep you going through out the day, perfect if you are looking to avoid heavy heavy foods that get your energy down. Quick meal.
2/1/2026 Had a lowers with ham on a jalapeño cheese bagel for breakfast. Yummy. I also had a mocha and OJ. The food is always fresh and the service top notch. Great bagels, sandwiches etc. Highly recommended Previous review Stopped at Bagel Shack this morning for a Lowers with Ham, hot coffee and an orange juice. The service is terrific and the food fantastic. The ambiance is clean and calm. Chad Meser provided quality service. The food was perfect and I must say this place has the best breakfast sandwiches this side of the Mississippi, I mean in Orange County lol. Highly recommended.
Pretty decent bagels for CA. I was surprised to find my bagel served open face with barely any cream cheese, but my expectations are high coming as a New Yorker. That’s what I get for ordering outside NYC. Otherwise, the bagel itself was good - nice texture and size. Also, the staff was super friendly
Best bagels in town in my opinion, and I have tried all the best Google reviewed bagel spots. They are chewy in the best way, not hard doughy like other bagels. I love their cheese covered bagels but everything is good. Need to freeze them the day of if you buy a bunch.
