The Most Flavorful Bagels in Riverside

Julie's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (256) • $$

"My all time favorite bagel place!!! After discovering this place for the first time, my parents and I ended up frequenting here every weekend for a couple of months. It is a bit pricey for the area ($8-12 per bagel), but IT IS VERYY MUCH WORTH IT!! The bagels are amazing and they are stuffed to the brim (see pictures attached). The kale smoothie is also a bit pricey (i think it's like $8?), but, lemme tell ya! Best poop I've ever had afterwards and it's such a refreshing and delicious kale smoothie, so you really do have to get it. Their tuna melt is quite good as well!The service is great, but it does get very busy on Saturday mornings. It usually takes a while to get your food when it's a morning rush, so I would recommend either ordering ahead or bringing a book with you. It's a great place to catch up with friends (it does get quite loud in there), not really to study at especially since signal is bad.My only con about this place is they're closed on Sundays and Mondays , which was so unfortunate during my julie's hyper-fixation"

Einstein Bros. Bagels

"excellent! We stopped on the road today and found this restaurant. We love bagels and decided to give it a try. FYI, we are former New Yorkers, and it is very difficult to find a bagel outside of the New York area that is good quality. Well..... we found a good quality bagel at Einstein Bros! We both had garlic bagels with cream cheese and nova salmon lox. It could not have been more perfect! Apparently, the people at Einstein Bros Bagels knows the secret of making good quality bagels that only a New Yorker would recognize. Thank you for this delicious food!"

Bevy Beans Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (61)

"I've been there twice. The first time I got the Spanish latte with oatmilk. It was delicious! I almost finished it one slurp! The second time i got a strawberry matcha and my husband got a caramel blended coffee. They were out of strawberry topping but other than that the matcha and the caramel drink were delicious! I've gone as far as Riverside for good coffee. I just found my new spot! Everyone was nice and I love the backdrop and window decorations. I'll be going again this weekend! Don't forget to sign up for points. :)"

Donut Tyme

★★★★☆ 4.4 (30) • $

"I've lived in the Jurupa Valley area for a majority of my life, after moving and returning earlier this year I was happy to see this donut shop still here.The family is the absolute best, the customer service is exceptional. Having frequented the place a few times, both mother and daughter know my favorite donut. This last experience is what prompted me to write a review. My favorite donut was out (maple old fashion) the owner quickly took an unglazed old fashion and went to the back and glazed it with maple for me. I cannot say enough great things about this place, if you're in town- support local business and these amazing donuts!"

Donut Haven

★★★★☆ 4 (17) • $

"Tried two filled donuts one powdered w/ lemon filling and one chocolate w/ custard filling.The Lemon doughnut was the best I have ever had. The powdered sugar wasn't too sweet, the lemon filling was tart and lemony but the best thing was the doughnut itself so fluffy, soft yet still consistent. The custard filled was amazing also same yummy doughnut and the custard was on point.If i was to critique the place it would not be about the food which was delicious. but it was a little dark inside perhaps some new lighting. :)Donut Haven sits in a strip center with a Big Lots and Ace Hardware. I never noticed the place until i did a google search for doughnuts."

US Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (113) • $

"We ordered 3 different breakfast Sandwiches and all 3 were so good! Warm and crispy with the added avocado and jalapeños! The Service was fast and was great so nicely! The place is clean and bright, with their comfy seating, they have a good space and very calm atmosphere! Love this little donut shop!"

West Coast Bagel

"Back again I swear this place has the best service and bagels around here ! This is my go to everytime it never fails no need for a long review just stop by check it out promise you won't regret it but they do get busy in the mornings so just a heads up but as well I've came like today and it was not busy at all !"

Donut Town - Highland

★★★★★ 4.6 (136) • $

"I highly recommend Donut Town! I reached out to them to inquire about the price for 9 dozen donuts. They gave me two different options for Christmas donuts at different price points. They were very responsive and helpful. I decided to place my order less than a week before my event. They were happy to accommodate my order despite the tight timeline. When I went to pick up my order, it was ready to go and they even helped carry it to my car even though there were other customers waiting to be helped. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The donuts we're delicious and my students loved them! I will definitely be using Donut Town again for future events!"

Aroma D'Italia

★★★★★ 4.7 (276) • $

"This place is ran by Italians and if there's anyone who knows espresso it's the Italians! Also had the best breakfast bagel sandwich I've had in a very long time. Highly recommend the bagel sandwiches! Good service, great vibes, can't recommend this place enough!"

Foothill Donuts

★★★★★ 4.7 (131) • $$

"We truly love the quality of the donuts at Foothill Donuts. Their selection is ALWAYS fresh and there are so many options to choose from including some specialty items (gluten free, vegan, mochi donuts, etc.) The customer service is usually quick and they are all so nice/friendly every time. The store is very clean and has about 3 tables with 4 chairs each. Occasionally, my husband orders dozens of donuts before his shift and his coworkers can already identify the "white box" as the best tasting donuts. We just recently hosted a brunch themed birthday party and they were able to custom a "Happy Birthday" request, along with 2 assorted dozen donuts."

"As far as coffee on the UCR campus goes this is my third favorite. But that's only because I'm more of a latte person.Sweet drinks here aren't the best. Avoid drinks that will hit your sugar tooth. However, if you're one of those people who drink their liquid gold (coffee) black, then by all means this is the place for you! Their daily brew is really good! I'd say the best on campus. Close to humanities and hinderaker as well as on the way to the gym and a lot of the parking. So it might be worth grabbing a cup after class for the long walk back. Or if you're visiting the campus and taking or taking a tour, it's close to the tour office and financial planning office!So drop on by and get a daily roast!"

Bytes

★★★★☆ 3.5 (25) • $

"I love coming here to get my on-campus lattes. They have very good flat breads, small, but a good grab-and-go item for lunch. There's sofas, couches, and tables to use. Usually they're filled up, but if you can snag one, it's a good place to study because the noise level isn't too loud, and people are usually studying or discussing ("important") things, so none of that loud laughing, gossiping, or just people chatting really loudly.The service.. is a little... has a bit of an attitude. But I don't think the lady is mean, I think that's the way she is and how she speaks."

Better Be Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.4 (61) • $

"Stopped by Better Be Donuts and tried their old-fashioned and apple fritter. The apple fritter was a bit on the oily side but still delicious, with a nice crisp on the outside. The old-fashioned was just okay for me--maybe because it was later in the day--but still had a good texture. The staff was super kind and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I'd love to come back earlier in the morning to try more!"

Einstein Bros. Bagels

"Love this place. I was in the other day, they were super busy (as expected) there was a very nice gentleman by the name of Isaac that was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend."

Donut Star

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (30) • $

"9:45pm quick late night craving run to the shop understandably they were low on donuts but they had a few hot fresh out of the oven donuts that I usually don't like because they are too sweet but these were awesome while warm! I have not eaten here or order anything else but every time someone had brought donuts from here they are super and last a few days unlike most donut places where if you don't eat them that day they turn into rocks the next day."

El Rincon La Chulis

"The food was delicious and the 2 ladies making them where very kind and accommodating. My mom ate the whole thing and she really does eat a whole plate of food."

"I had the plain bagel with the onion and chives smear and it was good. I also had a lemonade which was delicious. Service was friendly. I wish they had seating inside the store ."

"My husband was craving a bagel breakfast sandwich after a morning hike up Mt Rubidoux and this was the closest place. I found on yelp. Prices seemed really good for all of their breakfast options, we both got egg, sausage and cheese, breakfast bagels, and have nothing to complain about! We also both snagged a doughnut because why not? The glazed twist was surprisingly large and delicious"

Chai Coffee Co

★★★★★ 4.6 (264) • $

"We've made several visits to pick up coffee and pastry before heading into the winery down the street. Their hours are limited to mornings and early afternoon (close at 2:00 PM). Recently, we purchased a 16 oz. drip coffee ($4.25), with breve (steamed milk), which adds a $1. We also tried a Chocolate Chip Muffin ($5), and two slices of Lemon Loaf ($5.50). Everything was good, including the service. On street parking only, which can be tough at times."

Donut Star

★★★★☆ 3.6 (34) • $

"$12.50 for a bakers dozen?! Even cream filled ones?! OF COURSE I'll be giving this place 5 stars for the price alone!!! Not to mention the quality of the donuts were AWESOME too!!! My lucky guests enjoyed every bite and I will be back for sure when I'm nearby. Thank you, Donut Star!!!"

5th Ave Bagelry

"Delicious bagels! Dough is a little sweet...maybe some honey? Double toasted everything bagel hit the spot!"

Raised Donuts & Bagels

★★★★☆ 4 (49) • $

"This place should have 5/5 stars ! All the negative reviews are from 7+ years ago! This donut shop is HANDS DOWN the BEST donut shop in Corona. These are the doughiest donuts I have ever had. The dough actually does RAISE when you bite into it!! The lady who works there is so sweet too. The glaze donut is the perfect donut- I hate when glazed donuts have that artificial vanilla flavor and this does not have that. It's the perfect amount of sweet! Come here - I promise you won't be disappointed."

Bagel Time

★★★★☆ 3.5 (173) • $

"Ok I was super hungry the day I went here and it was my first time. I promise to get better photos next time because I do want to go back here. I came in and asked the cashier what was most popular and he suggested the # 3 and 9. I was fresh off a stomach bug so I went with the #9, no tomatoes on a cheese bagel. It was delicious. You must come here. I also need to come back and try the strawberry cream cheese danish and probably another sandwich just different days. That's a lot of carbs. They also had croissant sandwiches which looked ginormous among other bagels. The feel of this place is donut shop vibes but a bagel places. I will be back with more pictures."

Cafe Agape

★★★★★ 4.7 (385) • $$

"Went midmorning on a weekday and lines were both 2-3 cars. Almost missed it though-sits by the bank. Ordered the white mocha strawberry and mocha creme de menthe at a very reasonable price. Both were perfectly done-not heavy on any flavors, but just right! Nothing tasted heavy on the sugar. And the service? Ladies were super friendly and madw great conversation while we waited. Here on vacation and this will be another stop while here!"

Cassidys Corner Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (132) • $

""OH GOODNESS! PLEASE DON'T COME HERE!!" If too many people find out about how yummytastic this place is, it will get too crowded!I guess I have to be nice and share this gem! The place has great parking! As soon as you walk into the restaurant, the view is aesthetically pleasing and very spacious. There are several spots where you can take your Instagram photos too. There is a wall just filled with ceramic bagels of all kinds of flavors! Right underneath it, is a little football table game where you literally can kick the ball! They were ingenious making the restaurant family friendly as well as young adults trendy! It is very casual, and you walk up to the counter to place your order. As you are placing your order, you can actually see the team members making your drinks and putting together your food in the back. The best part was, the smell and aroma of the fresh bagels and yummy coffees being made! It smelled so good that it made my tummy rumble! They also have a display of different bagels that are available right on the counter! There were so many to choose from! I came there with both my daughters so we decided to order a different one each and just split them. We ordered the Maddy (pastrami) with an asiago bagel, The California (tuna) with a garlic bagel and the Del Amo (turkey) with a Parmesan bagel. The bagels were FRESHY HOT! Light crispy and melt in your mouth soft! The portions were huge! The Maddy is DEFINITELY a fave! The pastrami had a great flavor and the condiments and cheese were not overwhelming! I am a foodie, so I would probably ask for a bit more meat next timeThe California is definitely flavorful! Another fave! The tuna salad tasted cold and fresh. The veggies were crispy and all the flavors blended like a perfect melody! The Del Amo is one of the safer bagels. It consisted of turkey, tomatoes, lettuce and cheddar cheese with your choice of condiments. Fresh and simple. We might add different condiments if we order this again. The service is what took everything to the top. Everyone had a smile and there was joy in their voices as they assisted customers. Wait for this! They used eye contact! That's right! They actually looked at us while taking our orders! How rare is that? Definitely ASTRONOMICAL KUDOS to Brian and Marian for having a great team and making sure the quality of their food is yummy for our tummies!"

Donut Cravings

"Woodcrest don't be sleeping on these donuts! The variety of donuts is amazing here, they are fresh and healthy sized portions! The best part though? These kid-friendly decorated ones - honestly, a donut after school is a nice treat but one that is a HelloKitty or Unicorn or Spider-Man? C'mon that puts you right up as the coolest parent ever. I also love that employees are so friendly (and if you're nice back they may give you an extra treat!). Lastly, the way to tell other than the taste of the food that this is a legit location, is the fact that there is without fail old men with coffee and donuts talking and sitting at the tables always inside haha."

The Under Chiefs

★★★★★ 4.7 (50)

"Because I'm currently headed back here for the second day in a row, I figured they deserved a review. My husband and I are obsessed with the Bacon and Egg Bagel. Although Under Chiefs is small, as a foodie, this is arguably the best tasting food in Riverside. They bring a culinary expertise and creativity to breakfast favorites in a way no one else in the area is. We've been here probably 5-10 times during COVID and the food is always delicious and prepared quickly. We've gotten the fancy avocado toast and the Huevos Rancheros also - really good as well. Hope they get all the business they deserve!"
