Bellflower Bagels & Java

Hygienic update: This location is busy on the weekends and bagels will run out! Stopped by here on Thanksgiving morning and the drive thru was long, so I went inside instead! I observed to see what bagels they had to offer and it was almost empty. I observed the only employee working in there making bagel sandwiches. She has her earbuds in and does not even mind you until she glances over and "happens" to see you.... rude! I then observe her to help another customer and she gives him his change while using the same gloves she was using to make the food. She was touching money and coins and then goes back to the food counter to touch the food!!!AVOID THIS PLACE NOT SANITARY AT ALL.

10/17/24 Craving bagels!!!! Yelp states it's open until 7 pm, NOPE! I was super hangry & craving bagel (so was Hubby), what's a girl to do? I peeked inside the closed doors and I saw Carol and I motioned to her. "Are you guys closed?" And she says, "Do you want bagel? Come to the window"-- the drive thru window She tells me they don't have much, so I ordered an onion & cheese bagel with a side of cream cheese. SCORE!! I've known Carol for the many years I've been coming to get bagels at this place. She mentions that she has not seen me in a great while because I used to do my walks around the neighborhood & pick up freshly baked jalapeño & cheese bagels. I wish Montclair has this type of shop, I miss it so much. Wonderfully chewy & fresh, craving satisfied--LOVE these bagels! I told her Yelp states they close at 7 pm & she says: **Monday to Saturday 5:30 am to 4 pm**Sundays 7 am to 2 pm

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the reason on why I give donut shops a try. I like this place so much that I low key want to gatekeep it, but I will not because everyone needs to experience this deliciousness. The people are always friendly, prices are quite reasonable and out of all the breakfast croissant sandwiches- this one right here is delectable.When you first get the sandwich you think "What the heck was Betty raving about? This small thing of a sandwich?!" But let me tell you Linda, it is exactly what I want in a donut shop croissant breakfast sandwich. The inside: hot, melty, savory. The outside: flaky, but not dry...crispy but not toasted. Get the bacon- if you don't eat bacon, start eating bacon.They don't even do anything different per se, but I just think the freshness of the croissant (made daily) and the speedy, haphazard way they make the sandwich, yet it comes out great every time. I have eaten here NUMEROUS times and the consistency of the sandwich is almost immaculate. I have not tried any other sandwich from here, I have no need to. Along with this magnificence of a sandwich I usually order an iced coffee. Don't get me started on their iced coffee! I mean, they brew the espresso and add the milk of choice to order! And again, how they get portions and ratios to perfection is beyond me. There is a reason why there is always a line and they are usually sold out by 1-2pm.

This place is wonderful! It's best to go early and get everything fresh, but you can always expect a delicious bagel. I've tried the breakfast ones and some sandwiches. I appreciate going inside and when the staff gives me their recommendations. I would absolutely recommend.

My FAVORITE bagel spot, their bagels are always fresh and perfectly chewy. I either get their jalapeño and cheese bagel with cream cheese or a sesame bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese, can't go wrong with either. The hot coffee is pretty decent too, I also love their donut holes :)

I always drove by here And I never EVER stopEither because I'm busy or they are closedToday I said I'm stopping in but they hardly had any donuts.I was cravings maple or chocolate but opted for the back donuts right over there ln (in the photos)So here is what I have to SaySoft,Fresh and Great flavorI'll be back

Bagels were ready for pickup and freshly baked. I called in my order 1.5hours ahead. Tasted great!

Friendly and fast service with a smile . Shoutout to George , one of the regulars I met while waiting for my bagel . He had the owner and the baker's names tattooed on each of his arms with a Little bagel emblem . Lol ! I would definitely say it's a basic bagel shop and nothing special ... however the prices are very reasonable and service is quick . They also have a little drive through window and some outdoor seating options . Make sure to bring cash or hit the 5 dollar minimum for cards . There is ample parking options as well .

Super small space but delicious bagels! We got a couple of ham and cheese croissants, a salmon + breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel. Super convenient that they have a drive though!

My husband and I have been coming here for the past 10+ years. It is one of the best bagels we have ever ate. The are true freshly made bagels. My fav is the garlic and the hubby gets jalapeño and cheese. Get their coffee also it's so good!
