"The staff here is always friendly and they recognized us from previous visits. My wife had a breakfast burrito. I had the ratatouille and a side salad. My mother had a crêpe. It was beautiful weather on the outdoor patio where we sat and ate our lunch. At the end of our meal, we took our son inside to choose a cookie. It is no wonder we find ourselves returning to this restaurant again and again. The only thing I would note is that the food comes out very very hot."

"Love Shirleys for really good bagels and bagel breakfast sandwiches...high quality and efficient...and great service with a smile!!! Been going here for a decade!!"

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."

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

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."

Bagelmania & Coffee House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (590) • $

"Been coming to this place for years. You'll see a lot of bad reviews about the long wait.. well its a VERY popular spot for a reason :). There is no better bagel place in OC for these reasons: - Number of interesting bagel and cream cheese flavors- Number of coffee options- Friendly, hard working staff- Drive Thru!- Very clean and good food preparation practices-Alternative options for dietary restrictions and allergies-Fresh!"

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."

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)"

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."

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."

Shirley's Bagels

★★★★☆ 4.4 (266) • $

"Come here for the bagel sandwiches! They're exactly what you would want from a breakfast bagel sandwhich. And perfect to take and eat on the beachI got an iced matcha from here but sadly, threw it away because it was way too sweet. (The one in the photo is from another place nearby)."

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."

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)."

Fresh Gourmet Bagels

★★★★★ 4.7 (210) • $

"I asked for extra toasted bagel for my lox bagel and that did not happen. Therefore 3 stars. Bagels are made on site fresh, order was fast. A good please for quick breakfast. My hubby liked his bagel."

"Had the Mad Joe sandwich. 10/10Service was excellent! Owners were so kind and sweet.Thanks!"

Bagels Tea

★★★★☆ 4.2 (259) • $$

"Love, love, love this place. My two favs are the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and the ham & cheese croissant. If I had it like that I'd eat breakfast here every morning, but in this economy I only order when I'm down in the dumps and need a little pick me up. They're super, super nice too, which is a great bonus. I order mainly off of DoorDash and someone stole my order once. I didn't even realize it but they caught it immediately and IMMEDIATELY sent out another order.Can't recommend them highly enough!"

5 Star Bagelry

★★★★★ 4.7 (205)

"Ordering was super fast! The establishment inside is clean and well organized. My bagel was a little dense, but my wife ordered jalapeño cheese and it was more fluffy. I might have to come by and order more. At this point I can't tell if my food was great or if I need to go out of my way to come again. The order came out a little slow, but overall my food was nice and hot. So 5 stars for hot food."

Boardwalk Bagels

★★★★☆ 3.7 (251) • $

"Stopped here on my lunch break and it is fantastic! Worker was super nice and welcoming. She suggested an iced coffee I may like. (WHICH I DID) I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese with avocado on a spinach parmesan bagel. Very fulfilling! The cafe itself is cute! A lot of tables to sit at! I would definitely come back! Thank you boardwalk bagels for your service! :)"

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."

Miss Donuts & Bagel

★★★★☆ 3.6 (255) • $

"It was good but in my opinion it's not much in it even when ordering simple things you can get anywhere. The thing that bothered me was that the Bacon was whole or cut in half, but chopped. It's a person thing but important to me in my Breakfast Sandwich. They seemed to have a good variety of Donuts but this spot was just not for me. They seem to do a great amount of Business, and good for them. Maybe I'm just doing too much. Lol. 4.5. Yallhollaatchaboy!!!"

Bagel Me!

"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 !"

"The dozen bagels + 2 cream chz of your choice is great. Also the EBC sandwich is a staple."

Noah's NY Bagels

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (415) • $

"This place is so beyond the regular bagel shop. There are some seriously stacked bagel sandwiches! Open every day from 6am 'til 2pm and serving both breakfast & lunch. I walked in at 10:30am and it was busy! You will be waiting 1/2 hour during the rush hours, but it's so worth it if you're getting a full meal. I had no problem waiting in anticipation of my very first savory experience here.The item that caught my eye the most on the menu was the Chorizo Sunrise Bagel Sandwich on jalapeño bread. This thing was so good with their spread and a perfect amount of spice. I was ecstatic to see that the orange juice they serve actually has pulp! Not many places offer that. I will have to try the pizza bagel next time. Everything looks so good!"

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"

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"

Sunrise Bagels

★★★★☆ 3.8 (166) • $

"Great food, love the breakfast options and fantastic service ! Wife and I love eating the wraps and baguettes for breakfast. Vietnamese coffee too! Some serious competition for Starbucks just next door A+++"

"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"

Bruegger's Bagels

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (250) • $

"We were the only ones in line to place our order but the staff was not paying attention to us at all. I barely ordered my food and I didn't even know of he heard me but my husband didn't get a chance to order his bagel. The guy just walked away and started working on multiple orders at once. I think they were other internet orders since no one else was in the store but us. It really turned us off with how we were treated and almost ignored. I don't even remember if I liked my bagel that I actually got."

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 !"

Bruegger's Bagels

"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."

"I've been going to this Bagels place for a few months now. Staff is super friendly, respeand hardworking people. I always order the plain eggs and a coffee. The place is clean; I highly recommend this place."

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."

Avenue Bagel Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (88) • $$

"An old classic favorite place to get my bagel sandwiches. I'm always conflicted since next door they also sell bagel sandwiches. It's also listed cheaper on the menu but I'm staying loyal to my avenue bagel! I normally get the egg cheese and bacon and switch up my bagel preferences. Lately the total comes up to about $8 with tip and it kinda hurts to pay that much for a Sammy :("

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."
