“Plenty of parking and convenience since it’s right on the corner of 2 streets and right next to 405 freeway entrance. Got couple tables & chairs outside for seating, clean, spacious and well set up inside with minimal clean cut decor and high chair seatings. Got a small coffee station. Clear and plenty varies bagel choices. Nice & friendly service. Easy & quick order. Hot pizza with double toasted w/ cream cheese. Bagel is nice and good with pizza flavor. Generous cream cheese filling. Overall nice & tasty bagel with good service.“

“Yummy & inexpensive donuts. Drive thru is wonderful!“

“Love the croissants and donuts...Great staff!BUT THE STORE HOURS ARE A ULTIMATE FAILURE....I will never understand why this store can't get a consistent schedule, especially with a decent amount of staff as well as booming business!!??!!!It's very unprofessional and inconsiderate at this point! Gas isn't cheap and you have a Google page to inform store hours...so why does the owner not utilize it??“

“Ive been meaning to go to 5th Ave Bagelry and I was finally able to make it in today. I wanted something savory and I was recommended the Asiago cheese bagel with plain cream cheese. Wow it was delicious! 😁 I also got a Tai chi tea which paired perfectly with my bagel. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you ladies!“

“Can’t go wrong with Shirley’s! Order ahead online or call and beat the line!“

“Everything was exceptionally good. I decided on The Dodger which was fresh, delicious, and everything a smoked salmon bagel should be. My partner always goes for a basic sesame with cream cheese and said it’s the best he’s had on the West Coast. Even the fresh orange juice was delicious. I wish we lived closer as we’d be here super frequently. Don’t miss out on this Costa Mesa gem!!!“

“Rutabegorz is consistently one of my favorite spots for a healthy and delicious lunch. The menu is massive, offering an incredible variety of dishes, from their famous, giant salads to unique wraps and savory sides, so there’s always something new to try. You can tell the food is always fresh and carefully prepared, and the service is both friendly and impressively efficient, even during the busy lunch rush. It’s the perfect neighborhood gem!“

“Friendly staff and fresh, delicious food! Highly recommend.“

“Came in this morning, First time, My bagel was amazing!! The bread itself was very soft and not hard and chewy like most bagels i’ve had. Very fresh! Also, Sweet young lady working the front was a big bonus! Loved this place! Wish i wasn’t visiting i’d come more often! :)“

“It’s definitely a local place since the staff know the majority of folks walking in the door, asking how are they doing? Their family, works, etc. it makes you warm and homey feeling. Easy parking and the place is clean and bright and spacious with both inside and outside seating. Plenty choices of bagels and morning cake (coffee cake). Plus variety of coffee and smoothies plus fresh squeezed juices. The bagel is soft and delish with great texture outside and toppings. The homemade cream spread is delicious and comes with varies choice of favor. Fantastic service overall. Will definitely comeback for more. Prices wise, decent & affordable.“

“The apple fritter had a Mexican flavor to it, it was surprising but good. My son had a donut twist, my other son had donut holes and they both enjoyed it. We shared a maple old fashioned and it was yummy. We are Spanish speakers and didn’t have a problem ordering. For all that it was $5.40, seems affordable !“

“Great place! Great coffee and right by the beach!“

“Great corner bagel shop with plenty of choices of bagel as well as cream cheese. They do have coffee too. Clean and bright with good vibe. Friendly staff. Bagels are tasty and but the cream cheese filling was so little. Wish it just abit more.“

“I had to ham and cheese croissant with chocolate milk and it was absolutely delicious I love this selection of bagels and I found the staff to be incredibly polite and friendly. You get a lot of bang for your buck in a place like this so if you’re looking for a quick breakfast before you go to the beach this place is absolutely ideal!“

“Such good bagels 🥯 .... Opened early 👋👋👋🇵🇭“

“...and ive been coming here for years now so i guess i keep coming back for a reason. the bagels are always fresh and have that perfect chewy inside with a nice crisp outside just how i like them. service is usually quick even when theres a line which is impressive for sucha small place. had the veggie cream cheese this morning and it was spot on with plenty of real veggies not just a spread. wish they had a little more seating cause sometimes its hard to find a spot to sit and enjoy. i think teh coffee could be a touch stronger but its still decent. defintely my go to spot when im in town“

“What a great hidden gem in Los Alamitos! I ordered an Americana bagel on jalapeño bread, a hot tea and an iced vanilla chai, everything was delicious. Plus they have ice nugget machine which I prefer instead of the big ice chunks for iced drinks!
The iced vanilla chai was SO good, much much better than its big corporation competitors. I will definitely come again. Both girls behind the counter were very kind and patient and gave me the WiFi password and gave me recommendations. They really made you feel at ease. What a delight to visit, I would certainly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for good prices, good food and yummy drinks!“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“here visiting a friend! Great place, friendly people good donuts!“

“Great Sesame Bagel & coffee! And I love the space. I’m planning to come for coffee often after school starts up again. ❤️“

“My second time here, but many more visits to come. The donuts are fresh, the sandwiches are made fresh, the Vietnamese coffee is the perfect blend of sweet with a strong coffee flavor. I ordered the #2 sandwich, ham egg and cheese on white bread, and I asked them to heat up the ham because I am pregnant and cannot eat cold deli meat, they did it no problem! For such a simple sandwich, it is filled with flavor! 10/10 will reccomend others to try this place out.“

“2026 Update: Prices have sharply increased 2025-2026 with a few price increases, and service has declined in two our recent Spring 2026 visits. A combo for bagel and coffee is around $9-16 now, and some bagels are $6-9 by themselves. A half dozen bagels I think is $14 now (cream cheese not included). Bringing from 5 stars to 4 stars

2025 Original Review:
______
Got a half dozen bagels and each were done to perfection, would come back

Price: It’s $13 for a half dozen bagels and I believe $7 for cream cheese as of May 2025.

Vibe/Atmosphere: There is a bit of seating inside and outside, but nothing fancy. There is also a bathroom inside but sign said out of order during my visit.“

“Last week my kid and I were in a pinch because we forgot that our weekly park meetup was “ Potluck”. We were so excited to find Einstein Bros and then Karen took amazing care of us. She hooked us up with fresh bagels and cream cheese. She even gave us napkins n knives. These bagels were so fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to comeback. They were a hit with the kids. Thanks Karen! 🤩“

“muy rico los desayunos se la recomiendo“

“I really like to get my latte from this shop. Very polite and smiley staff. Thanks HB Bagels & Cafe for my morning caffeine!“

“I got the donuts and Vietnamese coffee first. Both were delicious and the donuts were soft when we got them and even a day later. Still soft as if it were fresh. I got the croissant sandwich the second time and it was also excellent. The prices aren’t too bad either and it’s supporting a family owned business too. They were really friendly.“

“Quick service and reasonably priced bagels; this must be the only place in a 10 mile radius where one can get a lox bagel for less than $10. However, on two occasions, I requested a sesame seed bagel and was told that none were available to find that not two minutes after my order a fresh batch is brought out. I now find it necessary to ask about what bagels are to come, as less than ten minutes is no bother to wait. It is also also a tad difficult to find this Einstein Bros. Bagel if you know not where to look: it is located inside the Phoenix Food Court, and the presence of the bagel shop is not advertised from outside.“

“A really delightful selection of food, here! They work hard and are quick to get your order to you. I've been coming here since 2019 and they've never gotten my order wrong, and it has always been delicious. Staff is friendly and pumping out orders for in-store, phone, and online customers all at the same time! Plus, their prices are the best I've seen around here. Much love to Bagels Tea. <3 Thank you for your hard work! <3“

“Oh man, this donut shop is an absolute gem! Stopped by this morning and was blown away by the fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth donuts--every bite was pure bliss. I've had every donut and let me tell you, nostalgic and brings you back to childhood memory lane that just hit all the right spots. The staff was super friendly, hooked me up with a fresh batch, and the vibe in there is so cozy and welcoming. The smoothies are on point too! Honestly, I'm already craving my next visit. Five stars, hands down!
Easy to find easy to order and always done to the customers request. One of the best hole in the wall donut shops that's still around

You gotta check it out! You won't be disappointed“

“We stopped here on our way out of town the morning after Disneyland. The breakfast sandwiches were so amazing. The orange was incredibly fresh and tasted like liquid oranges. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely coming back next time we have a Disney trip!“

“The food is delicious. 99% of the servers were nice. There was one who had no "aloha" whatsoever. She was having a bad day, I guess.“

“First time here and we (my partner and I) loved it! We come to Santa Ana not too often, but now will try to stop by! So may great bagels, we'll served! Delicious add-ons! The spreads just enough like the 5 cheese with sausage and 1 egg! Cooked and made right in front of you! See you next time!“

“Had breakfast here before heading to work and was pretty impressed. The bagels were fresh, soft on the inside, and had that nice chewy texture you'd expect from a good bagel shop. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese and it came out hot and tasted great. The staff was friendly even though it got a little busy while I was there. Prices seemed fair for the quality. Not every place gets the basics right, but this one definitely does. I'll probly be back next time I'm in the area and craving a quick breakfast.“

“the coffee and food were wonderful. The staff and environment inside are delightful. Maybe avoid the gathering of overgrown boys who congregate outside to yell about politics, but the place itself is beautiful“

“Can’t go wrong with Shirley’s! Order ahead online or call and beat the line!“

“Amazing customer service. They made us fell special, welcomed and loved!“

“A blueberry muffin with a hot tea always a nice way to start your day.“

“Nice employees, tasty and non greasy donuts. I came here for the mochi donuts 🍩 and they have quite a few favors (5). The price is cheap and affordable at $2.95 each for mochi donut. I must say it is so delicious, tasty, not too sweet and I will be coming back!“

“Amazing bagels 🥯 and great customer service I love this place five star ⭐️ all the way“

“The girls who work in the front are exceptionally nice! They never say no or we can't do that...they are jt's best asset. I appreciate that they are open early.“

“I love coming here for the bagels with cream cheese. The food is good but it is expensive, be ready to pay premium prices. Anyway, there’s a lady at the front counter which seems to be the leader but seems to always be mad. Also, I noticed her sticking out her tongue for some reason, and being that it’s a food facility it looks a bit gross. The food is good the bagels are awesome. Please talk to this person, when I came she seemed to be upset with the employees. Maybe it was just me but the tongue sticking out is a no no.“

“My first time to eat here, service and food was so amazing I love it. I ordered one smokehouse brisket for me, I finished the bagel and I want more … I’m thinking why I didn’t order 2 or 3, it’s ok I’m going back there again… c u soon guys“

“Incredible customer service and amazing donuts! We were visiting for a wedding and visited City Donuts twice. The owner was so kind, engaging, and welcoming. The whole family loved everything we ordered (donuts and breakfast sandwiches). Whether you are visiting or local, I highly recommend City Donuts! 🍩“

“Bruegger’s Bagels has a really good bagel egg and cheese bagel, but the iced coffee was just okay and my order took a decent amount of time to be ready after ordering. I took the bagel sandwich back to my hotel, hence the very photogenic picture, the location was just okay.“

“this place has the best bagels I've ever had, I ordered French toast bagels, and cheese everything, we were a group of 14 people, the staff was outstanding, very patient with everyone, and the food was excellent, definitely loved it,“
