New York Bagels

Decent bagels, they resemble the House of Bagels chain a little bit. Schmears were unremarkable. They do have good coffee here but the service is hit or miss. They need to figure out a better way to set up their coffee station; it right at the front door and it gets way too crowded and everyone is fighting for an inch of space to get to the coffee, the creamer, etc. Not a good place to sit down; best to get your stuff and go.

We ordered bagels to-go here, which I will say, they were very speedy. It is a small shop and was very busy so I had high hopes for the bagel. Unfortunately, the bagels were very unexciting. The jalapeño cheddar was not at all spicy or cheesy. And the cream cheese was extremely watered down and had a funky yogurt taste. Satisfy your bagel cravings elsewhere.

Best bagels I’ve had in California. Still warm if you are early enough and outstanding whipped cream cheese. A local standard if you will and worth the trip EVERY time.

Service was quick and friendly. Easy parking in lot with plenty of spots. Ordered the lox sandwich on an everything bagel. Bagel was toasted appropriately which was great but definitely wasn’t a NY bagel. It wasn’t the greatest bagel in terms of flavor and actually tasted odd. Not much in terms of lox portion.

You wait 15 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese that will come out cold because they toasted it when you put the order in, but didn’t make it until they’ve done all the other ones first. It makes no sense. Just know that if you were going here, you need to be prepared to wait.
