Jack's Bistro & Famous Bagels

Cozy breakfast spot with friendly staff who know their regulars (they even pulled the blinds down when I asked — nice attention to detail). Indoor and outdoor seating both feel welcoming.

Our table had the pumpernickel veggie bagel sandwich, a veggie scramble with toast and jam, and a ham-and-eggs scramble with pancakes. The bagel had great chew, though it would’ve been even better with cream cheese or home fries. The veggie scramble came loaded with veggies and a side of salsa I wish had been on every plate. My scramble was hearty, but the pancakes were the star — fluffy, golden, and served with butter and syrup.

Biggest standout overall? The breakfast potatoes — crisp, cheesy, and addictive.

Solid spot for a hearty breakfast. 4/5 stars

Why did you make my bagel first and let it sit for 12 minutes while you made the other item in my order? Cold bagel, barely cream cheese, took way too long and everyone in there came and went while we waited for 2 bagels and a side of sausage. Very disappointed.

Server was so sweet! 😊 (Stephanie) Greeted us great and got our order fast, even thought it was busy. But i can say the seats were a bit weird other than that a great experience, highly recommended!

Great service and food. The hash had the perfect ratio of egg/meat/veggies/cheese/potato and you also get to have two pancakes served with whipped butter and syrup!!!!
The service was also great

We stopped in on our way out of Santa Barbara specifically for the bagels, and they did not disappoint! They were so fresh and flavorful—exactly what we were hoping for.

I had one of the bagel sandwiches & it was delicious! We also couldn’t leave without grabbing a few fresh bagels and cream cheese to go.

The indoor space is small, but they have outdoor tables which made for a perfect, casual spot to enjoy our breakfast. Definitely worth the stop if you’re a bagel lover!

Go here as soon as they open so you get you favorite flavor. They are AMAZING. best part of my whole cali trip

Stumbled across this place while walking around Carpinteria. I ordered an Asiago Protein B-Eggl with corned beef for choice of meat. The meal was delicious with a large fluffy omelet sandwiched between the bagel, the corned beef was great too! Staff is polite and friendly, overall 10/10
