Bagels Restaurants near Irvine, CA

“This bagel shop is an absolute gem. The bagels are consistently fresh with a wide variety of options to choose from, and their cream cheese toppings are truly amazing. Their refreshing glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice or some of the best coffee in Irvine. My favorite bagels are the dried tomato as well as the garlic.
Is there a specific neighborhood in Irvine you are currently focusing on for your next coffee run?“

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

“Our favorite is the open face Old Man Bagel with cream cheese and avocado on a toasted Jalapeno Cheese bagel. The staff member at the Dana Point location who prepared ours recently, put their heart and soul into making it. It was perfectly delicious.“

“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.“

“Haven't come here in a while. Used to be our favorite spot. Bagels got smaller. Then we had a bad experience with their customer service so we didnt want to come back. Decided to give them another shot today and were pleasantly surprised. John, the cashier, was absolutely amazing and the best hire they have made! Even the guy making our bagels was super friendly. Definitely will be coming back again.“

“I'm from NY and every time I visit Orange County CA I have to go to Brueggers. This was my first time at this location, and the place was so clean it looked like a grand opening. Quick service. Excellent fresh breakfast and hot fresh coffee.“

“Great breakfast spot and great toasted 🥯“

“Good bagels at this place“

“I really wanted to like this place, because the environment is nice and the food is unique and interesting. I only got a pork sandwich and coffee to go. All four coffee dispensers were empty, no lids or sleeves in sight. Sandwich was messy and flavor was underwhelming but the bagel quality was good.

Edit: in my defense, I did bring up the empty coffee immediately. But from the perspective of someone who got stuff to go. My sandwich was ready so I ended up sitting down, I ate the whole thing and still waited several minutes before any of the carafes refilled. Im not trying to be combative but having all 4 coffee dispensers completely empty at any given time is kind of unacceptable for a breakfast minded spot. Either way, I updated to 4*“

“The quality of the food and juice here is very high. They have delicious salmon lox bagel that is perfect, not too salty. Bagel is crisp and soft. Cream cheese appears to be whipped. Perfect lunch spot. Very nice people. I will be a regular here.“

“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!!!“

“Good bagels at this place“

“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.“

“This place is great!! Joel was one of the kindest person to me and that goes a long way, you will always remember how you’re treated and how they make you feel and this place is was a house of kindness and great eats! Highly recommend this place! Thank you Joel and Bella 🤍🤍🤍🐣🖤😍“

“What’s not to like? If you haven’t been to Rutabegorz I beg you to go here at least once to try and I bet you that you’ll be hooked for life. It’s THAT good! Delicious and healthy food usually don’t go together but they manage to pull it off.

Cute place with plenty of seating either inside or outside. Super friendly staff always welcoming guests with smiles.

Everything we tried here is just super tasty and addictive, even the quinoa bowl which is our favorite thing to get.

Southwest Quinoa Bowl: bursting with flavor served warm with juicy chunks of chicken.

Thai Bowl: packed with flavor reminiscent of Indonesian gado-gado. If you like peanut dressing you’ll love this! The warm quinoa goes really well with all the ingredients such as warm tofu, bean sprouts and mushrooms.

Killer Chili is so addicting you just can’t stop eating it.

There’s a small parking lot in the back or street parking.

Located in the quaint old town orange.“

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

“went in for a quick breakfast and ended up staying way longer than i planned, thats how good it is. the everything bagel was warm and chewy with just the right amount of crunch, cream cheese was thick and spread on perfect. got a blueberry one for later and it was still soft the next morning, which never happens. definitely my new spot, im already thinking about going back tommorrow.“

“Delicious sandwiches! I love their sunrise juice. It is all natural pressed vegetables and fruits. Just pure juice, no ice and additives. Super healthy!

Prices definitely match their product and service!

Highly recommended.“

“What a find. Mom and Pop shop with the best breakfast burritos I’ve had! Friendly, welcoming and with the true vibe of a small business that cares. The donuts were excellent as was the coffee. We ate in and regulars were filing in getting their morning coffee and breakfast. These places are hard to find close to big corporate giants like the Mouse. I had the chorizo breakfast burrito, a sour cream donut and cup of cafe con leche. Wife got a ham, egg and cheese burrito, sugar donut and cafe con leche. All excellent!“

“Absolutky hands down without a doubt the VERY BEST donut shop in Orange County.. possibly the world! Always fresh, prices are fair, and the service is top notch! This place is a Tustin icon i've been getting myself and my family donuts here for over 30 yrs and ive never had an experience anything short of perfect! A+++

Oh and if your in a hurry or dont want to get out of your warm car on a cold morning they have a drive through window.“

“Stopped in to get a single everything bagel for a breakfast sando the next day. For $2.25, it wasn’t bad at all. The service was quick and friendly, and the bagel itself was really nice, chewy, heavily seasoned, and flavorful. Definitely a solid spot for a good bagel!“

“Our favorite is the open face Old Man Bagel with cream cheese and avocado on a toasted Jalapeno Cheese bagel. The staff member at the Dana Point location who prepared ours recently, put their heart and soul into making it. It was perfectly delicious.“

“Casual and close, great spot for meet up.“

“Stopped in to this shop and everything was delicious! Great variety of donuts, burritos were delicious! Staff was kind and helpful. 5 Stars definitely recommend this place.“

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

“🥯 East Coast Flavor in the Heart of Laguna Niguel! 🥯
I recently had the opportunity to sample the delicious breakfast bagels from East Coast Bagels of Laguna Niguel during a reception at my apartment community—and I am now officially hooked!
Their bagels are fresh, flavorful, and generously prepared, delivering the authentic East Coast taste that true bagel lovers appreciate. Just as impressive as the food is the genuine warmth behind this wonderful family-run business. The owners are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and devoted to their loyal customers—qualities that make every visit feel personal.
East Coast Bagels is a terrific example of a local business that combines outstanding food with heartfelt customer service. If you live in or are visiting Laguna Niguel, stop by, enjoy a breakfast bagel, and experience their hospitality for yourself.
As their unforgettable mural says: “Schmear Me!” You will be glad you did! Highly recommended!

“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!“

“Before I begin about the bagels, I need to give the cream cheese the crowning moment it deserves. I chatted with the owner, told her I was from NYC and a recent transplant. That I was very excited to try their bagels. She told me I had to try the cream cheese and included it with my order. She was right ! That cream cheese is a level I have never known !!! Absolutely delicious. Now the bagels. Hot honey and pepperoni bagels is a bagel that I never imagined but can’t imagine never having it again !! The pretzel bagel as well! My daughter loved the chocolate chip and everything. I also loved the onion bagel. The shop is just beautiful and the owners reflect the beauty of their shop and their love that goes into their bagels! You’ve hooked us and we will be back!!!“

“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“

“The Lox bagel sandwich is so good 😋💕 and the blueberry donuts are amazing! Also service is always 102038829191% amazing.“

“so yeah we came back again because honestly their pastries are just too good to stay away for long the pistachio thing i always forget the name but its flaky and not too sweet which i love

coffee is consistently good too strong enough but not bitter and they don't mess with it too much just wish they had a few more savory options for later in the day stuff like a simple egg sandwich or a frittata nothing fancy because sometimes you want a little more than just sweets but it is what it is

been coming here for a while now and its never let me down really chill spot to sit and read or half work on something while you pick at your plate“

“Brugge's Bagels is a delightful place to enjoy a variety of tasty bagels! We tried the smoked salmon with cream cheese, along with a standard cream cheese bagel, a western bagel, and a breakfast egg bagel. Every bagel was delicious, and everyone loved their choices. The outdoor patio is a lovely spot to sit when the weather is nice, and there’s also comfortable indoor seating plus handy parking around the back, making it easy to visit. Overall, our experience was great, and I'm sure we'll return for“

“😋😋😋Cali veggie!!! deliciosos desayunos !!! 🍳“

“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.“

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

“It's a great bagle joint for getting breakfast and a coffee. They make the bagles pretty quick, and the coffees are alright, but it's self-serve, so a bad coffee may be because of your adjustments. Overall with a bagle + a drink expect to pay 12 - 15 dollars, you could make something like this at home, but sometimes it's really fun to go out on a morning adventure and snag some bagles.“

“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“

“I have been buying donuts from Sak Donuts for many years. The donuts are always fresh and delicious! The employees are friendly as well. I even order donuts delivered by D.D. in the evening when I feel like a dessert. Even in the evening the donuts are fresh. Overall this is the best tasting donuts I've eaten. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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??“

“Stopped by after a “tax after retirement” seminar that made me depressed. The lox with sesame bagel sure picked me up. The place looked and smelled so clean, and the staff were friendly. Felt like a smalls mom and pop store. Wish I took more
Photos but I was hungry ! 😋“
