Bagelry & Bistro

Best NY style bagels in the area. Good outer shell and very light/fluffy interior. And yes, if curious, I grew up in NY. Friendly, relaxed neighborhood vibe... really good coffee too.My entire family's favorite bagel place in OC.

Found this through yelp on Friday morning and was intrigued. It was so good! I also got a cafe mocha and it was just perfect for a chilly morning. The bagel itself was also nice and warm and filling!Parking was easy, parked right in front of the store in the parking lot. Everyone was also so nice and welcoming.

I love Lox bagels now because of this place, literally so amazing. The service is great too, with kind and quick workers. She remembered our order from the last few times we came here. We love to sit here with our crazy toddler and just enjoy the ambiance.

A solid, reliable, neighborhood spot with repeat customers and regulars that are friendly with the staff. There's such a huge number of bagel options that can be combined with hot or cold sandwiches or just regular cream cheese. There's a nice, quiet ambience and delicious food. I'll be back for my rare but likely bagel craving :)

Been coming here every Monday at 6am, for almost 2 years, for a dozen bagels for the office. In the past, I have gotten 6 salt bagels (our office fave), and an assortment of others. A couple months ago, I was told that I would have to pre-order if I wanted more than 4...even though the basket was full? I took off a star for being told I had to "pre-order" 2 more bagels.The bagels are good. The service isn't with a smile, but it's early.

While the lady behind the counter was very kind, overall I did not have a good experience. Iced coffee is just a cup filled with ice, you have to go pour piping hot coffee over it to end up with Luke warm coffee. No dairy free milk options or milk itself, just half and half. I got a bagel with Lox spread for about $4.65 only to realize that Lox spread is just cream cheese with tiny, microscopic bits of Lox. I guess I should have been more suspicious of real fish at that price. They don't have a large bagel selection, particularly for savory lovers. I got sesame and saw they also had salt & garlic (didn't look very appetizing). No cheese, Parmesan, everything, or jalapeño bagels. They charge an extra $0.50 for using any kind of card instead of cash. I won't be back.

Was a good place for breakfast. Great coffee and good selection of bagels freshly made!Unfortunately the strip mall where is located was recently hit by fire and the Bagelry is no longer there. Sure hope they can reopen or relocate somewhere near by!

I've had 2 different non-onion bagels here, and they both tasted like onions.One of them was a cinnamon bagel. It was like they took a Panera Cinnamon Crunch bagel, washed off most of the good cinnamonness, and then sprinkled on just a touch of inexpensive onion powder.Should have known better after the egg sandwich I had a few months ago, but onion flavor in that is kind of the chef's choice.

SOO GLAD THEY ARE BACK after the fire! We went back to this old family favorite after waiting for months! It was just as great as we remembered it! I had the cheese pizza bagel, my husband had a Bagel, Tomato, Lemon Pepper Special and our son had a bagel w avocado and lemon pepper! Their ice blended caramel latte is a must try!

OPEN December 1, 2024. They recovered from the fire next door at the dry cleaners. It's been a long wait for them to reopen. Exciting that it the same with great staff of Maria and Esther and the same Baker. Bagels and service is incredible.
