East Coast Bagel

Incredible Bagels - Worth the Hype!I stopped by this bagel shop for the first time today, and wow--I totally get why people rave about it! The bagels are absolute perfection: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and packed with flavor. I went with the cheesy jalapeño breakfast sandwich and it was fantastic.The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and even though there was a bit of a line, they kept things moving quickly. The whole place had such a great vibe, and you can tell it's a local favorite.This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor and go--you won't regret it!

This spot has been on our list for a while, and we decided to try it for lunch before they closed. It's a small space but has a laid-back, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere.The bagel, though not the everything bagel we originally wanted (they had run out by the time we arrived later in the day), was still delicious. It had great texture--warm and slightly toasted--providing the perfect base for the generous amount of lox they piled on. The lox was fresh, flavorful, and plentiful--definitely not skimpy. It came with cream cheese, tomatoes, red onions, and capers, which is everything you'd expect from this kind of bagel. Despite the limited bagel variety (since we arrived about an hour before closing), we left feeling quite content. Just something to keep in mind.The service was amazing as well. Even though it was busy, the guy at the front was quick and efficient, taking our orders and getting everything ready in no time. He was friendly and handled the rush with ease.Overall, we would rate it a 9/10 and would definitely come back.

Best bagels in OC! It's always packed on the weekends so you know it's good. My go-to is the lox bagel with everything bagel and chive cream cheese. My boyfriend loves the West Coast sandwich with a scored garlic bagel and bacon. I would recommend arriving by 9AM if you want to avoid the long weekend wait. It's a very no-frills get in and out type of place.

I always get the salmon lox bagel and I chose to have it on an everything cheesy bagel. It's so good. They are generous with the smoked salmon and provide a good balance of the red onion and capers. On the weekends, the lines can be long but it moves quickly.

Best bagels I've had in OC came here two days in a row!East coast bagels is located in the Mitsuwa mall on culver,There is limited seating indoor but we were able to sit both times.Both times we came around 08:30 AM and not too crowded.They have so many bagel and sandwich options.We have tried the scored garlic, egg, lox sandwich, and sourdough bagel here.My fiancé loved the lox and I liked the scored garlic.Service is lightening speed here so you get your food within 5 min.Coffee here is average but has 5 to select from.Great family owned bagels store with so many to select from.Would love to try the sweet bagels my next visit!

Awesome bagels! One bite into the bagel and i just knew it would be a treat! Crusty exterior and just the right amount of soft chewy and airiness on the inside. I normally only eat half a bagel and it took a lot of will power to resist eating the other half. I shared the other half with another dad and he couldn't stop complimenting it either. Definitely a hit and a repeat visit when we're here for a tournament.

I'm a huuuuge bagel connoisseur, can litcherally eat a bagel every single day if I could !!! I had the strongest craving for a yummy bagel when I was in OC the other day, and came across a girls TikTok about East Coast Bagel and decided to give it a try. SooSosoOsoSo GOOD. The cream cheese was so yummy & topping it off w tapatio is a must. The workers were so nice/kind :') I came at around 7:30AM and it wasn't too packed. This was a nice spot to go to for a quick bite.

First of all, thank you for opening on the Thanxgiving day! Second, every time their food quality is very consistent! They are generous and don't go stingy on fillings. Come early otherwise you may be waiting in the long line. Food can take awhile to make n get them. Please be patient with them!

I didn't think I'd have good bagels on the west coast and pretty much gave up on that hope until I tried this place. How do they make their bagels so good?? My first bite took me right back to those bagels I've had in nyc. I get why there's busy lines here now. Sorry, I'm gonna be making the line longer...I'm a fan now.

The magic starts at 3:00 a.m. when the boys arrive to make the days batch of bagels. These guys work so hard and have earned the respect of the community. Their product is excellent. They are always happy to please and will take the time to talk to and get to know their customers. What gives this place a five star rating is the menu. They are so creative and have perfected a few bagel sandwiches that deserve a five star rating. For example, their bagel and lox sandwich is nearly perfect. One of the very best sandwiches on the planet. May I suggest the everything bagel with bagel and lox? Mom and Pop stores are still around and making magic for us. This is one of the very best places in Irvine.
