Bagels Restaurants near Lake Forest, CA

“Great food for breakfast and lunch too!! Fresh bagels sandwiches and salads... they are all great! �“

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

“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.“

“The entire staff is so friendly, attentive, and genuinely sweet. I always have a great experience every time. I just wish they stay open little longer on the weekends because I would love to grab some afternoon snacks/meals whenever I pass by on the road.
Outstanding staff!!! Thank you!!“

“My husband and I have been to this bagel spot three times now, and every visit is just as good as the first. East Coast Bagel consistently delivers some of the best bagels I’ve ever had perfectly chewy on the outside, soft on the inside, and always fresh.
I’ve tried a couple of their bagel sandwiches, and the Turkey Melt is hands-down my favorite. I crave it constantly it’s melty, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I also tried another turkey sandwich (can’t remember the name) that was just as delicious. Even their plain bagel with butter is next level soft, warm, and honestly better than any I’ve had in New York! Pair it with their fresh squeezed orange juice, and you’ve got the perfect breakfast combo.
The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with that amazing fresh-baked bagel aroma, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I also love that you can customize your sandwich with any bagel you like it makes every visit a little different.
This place has officially become my go-to breakfast spot. Great food, great service, and that warm neighborhood feel I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

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

“Used to live nearby until we moved to Texas several years ago. Visiting CA this week and HAD TO visit again. Their coffee, especially blueberry, is a must have, their super cinnamon bagel is the best (nothing like it in Texas), and the staff very friendly! Love this place and will be back before we leave. Do yourself a favor and eat here.“

“Think you can get a Lox Bagel Sandwich this good at a massive corporate chain? Not a chance. Support your local favorite bagel shop instead! I’m seriously impressed by the quality, price, and the generous amount of salmon they pack in here.“

“I ❤️ Bagels ruined all other bagels for me. I started coming here when my boys were kids — a dozen fed us for days on a tight budget. Now my son takes his daughter and the tradition continues. Same smiling owner, same perfectly chewy, slightly crunchy-on-the-bottom bagels. Still unmatched. Coffee + one of these? Forget about it.“

“Pretty good overall bagel spot. They have 1 million types of bagels and cream cheese options that you can get some great combinations going. The jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese and turkey is pretty awesome.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free options.

Parking: Can be busy during prime time on the weekends for breakfast. Small place, but they do have some seating. If you can’t sit inside, they have tables outside in the courtyard.

Kid-friendliness: If your kid likes bagels it is…

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“The location is busy in the mornings, but the line moves fast. I love a hero lox sandwich. It was fully packed and loaded with lox, purple onion, tomato, dill, and cream cheese. The jalapeño bagel was good, too. I also had a B.L.T.C.C. The beacon was very crispy. The sourdough bagel was a great choice. The iced Vietnamese coffee was strong for all you coffee lovers, you should get it!!! The address is 28121 Crown Valley Pkwy f, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, USA“

“They are delicious!!!! 😋 😋😋😋“

“I recently stopped by Choco Bean Coffee in Mission Viejo and had a really nice experience. I ordered the hazelnut coffee, and it was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet. I also tried one of their bagels, which was fresh and satisfying. It’s a great spot for a relaxed coffee break with simple, good-quality options. I would definitely come back again for another cup.“

“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.“

“What a joyful crew! The atmosphere this morning was delightful; the crew, smiling, and laughing and engaging with customers in a genuine way made my plain bagel with cream cheese feel like the most important bagel I've ever had. The bagel was perfectly toasted and had the perfect amount of cream cheese. I'm really grateful for this experience as it is setting the tone for my day many thanks to the wonderful crew!“

“Yummy breakfast bagel sandwiches with variety of ways to prepare and customize. Staff was quick and kept line moving so little wait to order. Hazel coffee was very good and shade trees provide for patio dining in the morning makes for a nice relax start to the day. Will have to try more of their other options as the combinations seem endless but I want to try as many as possible“

“Taste of Persia is a charming pastry shop that feels like an Iranian bazaar, with warm scents of saffron and rosewater. Their Zoolbia, Bamieh, and Baklava are crispy, all natural ingredients, and perfectly balanced, Don’t miss their delicious homemade Sangak bread, fresh and flavorful. The welcoming staff, Tina and Elli are super friendly! Very cozy atmosphere make it a must-visit for authentic Persian treats.“

“Great donuts and kind employees. When I go here, it's usually at 5am right when they open and I pick up a dozen donuts, some muffins, and often a ham and cheese croissant. The donuts are always fresh and still coming out, and the croissants are fresh and hot. Their old fashion glaze, old fashion maple, and powdered cake donuts are my favorites 👍. Also really like the fat free bran muffin😄!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The Viejo bagel is one of my favorites! Good donuts! The blended mocha is excellent!“

“Fast, friendly service & tasty bagel sandwiches. My wife had the basic breakfast bagel (The Lowers on a sesame bagel. She was very happy with that. I ordered the Smoked Turkey and Bacon sandwich on the everything bagel and was similarly pleased. We also got a smoothie which was not too sweet but was quite fruity.“

“Great NY STYLE BAGELS!!! Great service too“

“There bagels are better than the ones in New York. They are always fresh big and super delicious. They even have lox in cream cheese. The staff are always super friendly and helpful.“

“Bagel and coffee here is awesome. Felt bad for people who work here, it is indeed fast paced with angry customer who expects their food to be ready when they order ahead… geez, be patient if you are here on the weekend. It took a while to get my bagels but I can wait because people here are always very nice. The lady at the cashier had a beautiful smile and was helpful.“
