The Most Scrumptious Bagels in Irvine

Bagel Me!

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (207) • $

"Ok, look, is this place outdated on the inside? Yes. However, they have a great selection of bagels that aren't gigantic or too small. My favorite is their glazier bagel, which is like a cinnamon sugar bagel. This, toasted with plain cream cheese is absolutely divine. And for $5, it's a perfect breakfast option. I haven't ordered anything else so I can't comment on the other reviews/experiences. I go in person and choose my bagel, or call ahead and have my order placed for pick up, which it's always ready when I get there. The staff is always smiling and friendly too."

Deli & Bagel Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (297) • $

"Excellent bagel & deli spot! Their sandwiches are yummy, especially the bulgogi (try it)! And the owners are even better! Always welcoming & hard working They also always have specials, so keep an eye out! Recommend this great spot for your bagel or sandwich craving. Nice outdoor seating too!"

★★★★☆ 4.2 (160) • $

"I took my grandsons, Francis, Theo, and George who are 10, 8, 5 to Wendi' for their wonderful donuts. We ordered 4 maple bars, 2 crumb, 2 plain old fashion and a sprinkle for Goldie. They were delicious and super fresh. The store is clean and family run. We all gave it a 5-star rating."

Chevita's Juice & Bagels

★★★★★ 4.7 (64) • $

"Their melt bagel is really good, must try！The bagel is soft and chewy, topped with lot of stringy cheese, crispy bacon and fresh avocado, and larva sour cream in the middle. the bagel was sliced to two pieces so you got two melt bagels so great value.I want some veggies so I added some arugula on the top. Perfect."

Bageled

★★★★☆ 4 (18) • $$

"I'm the previous owner of this location, Best of Friends Cafe & Bakery & I am happy that Joel took over here so our old customers have a familiar, friendly face. Joel owns & operates the Tennis Academy there at the park. Bageled opened this morning and my daughter's and I visited and had lunch & drinks. The bagel sandwiches were pretty good & it was nice being able to sit & relax and enjoy my lunch without worrying about my customers. Perfect weather at the park. Also, there's a new awning & a new playground so it's a great place to take the kids!Congratulations to Joel & Vanessa!Come in & try BAGELED, you'll be happy you did!!"

Avalon Bagels To Burgers - Placentia

★★★★☆ 3.9 (587) • $

"Wonderful! Fantastic bagels, the cinnamon apples are from heaven, my son's bagel burger was to die for! Don't skip the smoothies and shakes. My hubbys cranberry smoothie was fresh and tart and my daughter's peanut butter smoothie is probably the best we've had (and it's dairy free).Salvador was amazing! He's so friendly and welcoming."

5th Avenue Bagelry & Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"A great quick spot to grab some boba for the boardwalk or pier. They're friendly and have a big menu to chose from. Not the absolute best boba I've ever had but still hits the spot"

Mag's Donut & Bagel

★★★★☆ 3.9 (164) • $

"Wonderful family owned donut shop. Love their donuts selections in the morning! They are efficient but still offer a warm welcome. Fluffiest donuts at a great price point. Other customers were raving about their coffee (similar to the strong Viet coffee). There's always a line in the morning but it goes by fast"

The Coffee Grove

★★★★☆ 4.4 (106) • $

"I love little mom and pop shops like this. The vibe was great and the interior was very clean.I went basic and ordered an iced hazelnut latte, less sweet. Like expected, the coffee was good and the perfect amount of hazelnut syrup was added.Make sure to tip your baristas!"

Bagel Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (125) • $

"We have been here a few times and they have great bagels and sandwiches. Sometimes there are busy so we ordered door dash pickup and was ready within 15 to 20 min. Very easy to order and pick up. Lots of tables for eating outside or inside !"

The Bagel Shack

★★★★☆ 4.3 (65)

"What a great little spot! Walked in on a Monday on a whim and was pleasantly surprised on the quality of the bagel sandwiches. I got the Wedge (pictured) on a Swiss bagel and my husband got the Lox bagel. Both were served open face and each was stacked with toppings. The Wedge was *chefs kiss*. They won a repeat customer!"

The Bagel Shack

★★★★☆ 4.2 (670) • $

"I thought this was the place recommended by my friend. But I think I may be wrong. The staff was kind though. I ordered a bagel sandwich ( it wasn't too bad) and purchased a dozen bagels too. Some of the bagels were soft, some not so soft. Odd thing it was from the same basket. Anyway, I enjoyed the soft bagels and threw out the hard ones. Maybe next time I'll inspect them. One at a time."

Scott's Donuts Bagels & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.6 (156) • $

"Donuts were perfectly sweet and fluffy! My favorite is the chocolate bar. The texture, the sweetness, and the doughy-ness... so delicious! I will be back for mo"

Señor Bagels & More

★★★★☆ 4.2 (129) • $

"If you're looking for some bagels or crossaints, come here! The workers were friendly and welcoming. I placed an order on the phone for a Veggie Deluxe Wheat Bagel (this is the same as a Palms Spring). When I came in, I was thirsty so I also added a Fresh Squeeze Orange Juice ontop. They made it really fast! The bagel and the orange juice was really good!!!"

I Love Bagels

★★★★☆ 3.9 (147) • $

"First time here and it was poppin! Had a huge selection of bagels but I opted for my fav, the everything bagel with butter and cream cheese. It was delicious and the staff was kind! I'll be back to try more!"

OC Donuts & Bagels

★★★★★ 4.5 (114) • $

"if you live near here and want a seaside fix without driving the distance please give this place a chance. they don't have green thai tea or jalapeño in their croissants but they give more meat. i ordered a turkey and cheese croissant and it was a bigger portion of turkey compared to seaside. it was just as good in my opinion and they even threw in a free donut hole. the thai iced tea wasnt too sweet either and made me forget green thai tea existed. i willdefinitely come back and take pictures of the food next time."

Bruegger's Bagels

★★★☆☆ 3 (205) • $

"I've been back here a few times since now working in the area. This morning I went into the office extra early and Bruegger's was open at 5:45 am when I stopped in. It's nice having an option other than just Starbucks to grab a quick breakfast on the go. Service was quick and friendly and I was in and out in under 5 min."

Bagels & Brew

★★★★☆ 3.7 (841) • $

"I love working right by Bagels & Brew. It's my go to for breakfasts or lunches. The staff is all really great and friendly. They have ample seating and a super nice patio. I love the picture on the wall of the employee holding the portafilter. This is one of my favorite businesses in LF."

I Love Bagels

★★★★☆ 4 (207) • $

"Every now and then I will majorly crave for a good ole breakfast sandwhich. I love bagels truly has one of the best in town! I feel like its affordable, bagels are fresh and good, and the sandwhich itself is just perfection, i dont know how they do it! My go to is the egg cheese with bacon. If i'm feeling adventurous i'll add some sausage in it. My work sometimes caters bagels from them and all their donuts are so soft in themiddle with a crunchy exterior. I believe the cream cheese is all made in house and all super delicious."

NY Bagel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (60)

"We randomly stopped here for a quick breakfast before our Black Friday adventures. This local bagel shop is located within walking distance of the CSUF campus. There is limited street parking or you can park in the structure nearby. The shop is small but, there is plenty of seating available. The staff was pleasant and helpful. We ordered two specialty bagels.::CTA - cream cheese, tomato, and avocado with a dash of lemon pepper. I opted for no tomato. The bagel was soft and nicely toasted which gave it a crispy texture. The cream cheese was on overload so I just scraped some off.::Lox - choice of bagel, cream cheese, lox, red onions, tomato, and capers. This classic creation is always good. Overall, the bagels were fresh but not quite the NY bagel. The authentic ones are much more fluffy. I guess this is as good as it gets on the west coast."

Coffee Importers

★★★★☆ 4 (612) • $$

"Always a yummy experience having quality treats at the harbor. Today I had a frozen blended coffee while friends had ice cream."

DK's Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.4 (336) • $

"Classic donut shop. They had good, quality donuts and a wide variety. The breakfast sandwiches were simple and yummy. Their prices were good. I'd definitely go back! The parking is a little dicey and small but it would be hard to do anything about that based on the location. So be prepared to park on the street or something if they are really busy. They have a drive through too, so one of the driveways can get a little backed up."

Bruegger's Bagels

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (298) • $

"These are real New York bagels and you can taste the city with every bite the cream cheese appears home made and the add ons are fresh and flavorful service is efficient and the two franchises I've been to CDM and Santa Ana are clean and not overcrowded Best bagels west of the Mississippi I used to fly the redeye La to Memphis and would bring a bag of Brueggers and cream chase from a stop in Cincinnati at 6 am the staff at work were always delighted and grateful that I would bring such a thoughtful and delicious treat"

Einstein Bros. Bagels

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (616) • $

"First timer. Great service, everyone seemed nice. The hispanic cashier was super friendlyordered a All Nighter, solid 8/10. Girlfriend ordered a bacon & cheddar 7/10. They were warm, weird that they didn't come out hot like the hashbrown. The cheese was slightly cold still. Feel like they put it together and warm it up quick in microwave. The hashbrown is good but mushy inside, 6/10. I prefer McDonalds hashbrowns over these. I'd come back if in the area, but wouldn't drive down here (as I came from the IE)."

Surfin Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.2 (246) • $

"Love this spot so much. Every time we come down to San O to surf we always need to make a stop at surfin donuts. Amazing donuts, fresh oj, great espresso and coffee with lots of flavor options. What's not to love? Also be sure to try their ham and cheese bagels, they are amazing especially when fresh. They have a decently sized parking lot as well which is usually easy to get a spot. On a busy morning you might have to park in the street but it's easy."

Jt's Bagel Company

★★★★☆ 3.8 (209) • $

"My favorite bagel spot in OC! JT's bagels is the best. Everything is so fresh and they really pack on the cream cheese (I always ask for extra). If you like your bagels more toasty definitely ask for that, they tend to toast them on the light side but I like a bit of crunch to mine. Just personal preference.I also highly recommend their bagel sandwiches. I create my own with the jalapeño bagel, bacon, cheese and Mayo. It's the perfect pairing! I'll usually add on a dash of tobacco sauce when I get home. Their Asiago cheese, jalapeño and cheddar everything are my top picks for bagel flavors.Service is usually super quick too! There was only one time they were really backed up with orders. Just depends on what time you go. Definitely worth the wait though! 5 stars for delicious bagels and great customer service!"

Fresh Bagels & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (416) • $

"I've been here twice and all staff are super nice. The last time I was here I ordered two dozen bagels for work... they give you 14 in their dozen for $13.99! I also ordered a lox city bagel, they don't have capers on the lox, so keep that in mind. The shop was clean and the bagels are displayed well. Very bright in the shop, as they are a corner location, light comes in from two sides. I ordered my food and everything was ready very quickly. The bagels are delicious, made fresh daily. I also really enjoy the chive cream cheese, goes well with all the savory bagels. My order of 2 dozen bagels (but really 28) and four cream cheese tubs came to a little under $45."

5th Ave Bagelry

★★★★☆ 4.3 (50) • $

"Great variety of bagels, friendly and quality service, very clean, bathroom for customers only available, self serve coffees with cream and sugars on the side. I loved it I'll be back to try the breakfast bagel"

Bo's Bagels & Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (390) • $$

"This little bagel place was really tucked away in a good sized shopping center. Passed by and had a craving hit me When I walked in the really nice girl behind the counter greeted me and made small talk. So 5 stars for serviceThe prices were actually really reasonable too. I was expecting them to cost more They have all your classic flavors. I loved the everything bagel and even though I'm not a fan of sweet bagels I was a fan of the churro bagel. Especially heated up. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by again and stock up. You can definitely tell the difference between these little local bagels shops vs ones from the grocery store Going to pick up a dozen and drop them off at my aunts while she recovers from surgery. This place also is featured on the app- too good to go. So they give you a ton of surprise bagels for a great price. (I have bought their bagels from their menu and through the app)"

HB Bagels & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (275) • $

"Best bagels in Huntington Beach. They are fresh everyday, you can tell! Good flavors. A lot of options whatever you are feeling. They also have fresh squeezed juices and boba. Busy in the mornings because it's a well known neighborhood spot, but the service is efficient."

Bagel Me!

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (382) • $

"First time coming here for a bagel lunch sandwich! The veggie bagel sandwich with cottage fries was very tasty. Parking in this area is a bit tricky. Service wasn't the friendliest but food was good !"

City Bagel

★★★★★ 4.6 (279) • $

"Came early on a Sunday morning right at opening. My son was playing a baseball game nearby and I didn't want to go to Starbucks for breakfast so I elected to support a small business instead.Both husband and wife was present in store. After reading the newspaper clippings on the walls about their story I made small chat with them and they were as sweet as ever could be. Lots of smiles and humility about their success.I got the smoked salmon on sesame bagel. Bagel was crisp on the outside yet chewy on the inside. Just how I remembered them in NYC. Good amount of cream cheese, but the smoked salmon was from Costco - I am almost 100% sure because I get it regularly there. Thinly sliced red onion capers, and juicy tomatoes made this a best bagel I have had in a long while.Have been back because this was just a circumstantial visit, but if I was a local I would gladly support them regularly."

Taste of Persia Bakery & Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"Amazing! Honestly this is one of the best bakeries I have ever been to. They make the best Persian breads. Plus for all the health fanatics out there who watch their carb intake, they do offer wheat as well..."

BagelNow!

★★★★★ 4.5 (166) • $

"Delicious! Cute little bagel shop. They have little seating inside and two tables outside. I ordered the BagelNow Signature on an everything bagel and it was so good. They are generous with the fillings! Bagel had a nice crust and good texture inside. They are so affordable too. I have never seen a lox bagel sandwich anywhere for less than $15.. def trying that next time I come. Workers were nice and very efficient I didn't have to wait long even though the shop was busy.Edit: I got to try the Lox City bagel and their fresh squeezed orange juice and they're both so good! The bagel was super filling even tho at first glance I thought it could use more lox, I was wrong lol the amount of toppings was perfect. And orange juice was fresh and delicious."

Bagels & Brew

★★★★☆ 3.6 (476) • $$

"I've been coming to bagel and brew for at least 25 years. Always loved it and always will! Arrive early-- it gets busy. Great local staple. My husband got hooked after visiting my family too. It's our first stop when visiting now."
