“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 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.“

“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?“

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

“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.“

“I had a really great experience at Bruegger’s Bagels and wanted to share my feedback. The quality of the food was excellent, and everything tasted very fresh, especially the breakfast sandwiches and bagels. You can tell they use good ingredients, and the bread was soft, warm, and delicious.

One of the best parts was the amazing coupon deal they offered. I was able to get a sandwich and a large coffee for only $4, which is a fantastic price, especially for such good quality food. It felt like a great value, and it made my morning much better. Finding a fresh and tasty breakfast at that price is not easy these days.

The staff was also friendly and helpful, and the service was quick even during a busy time. The restaurant was clean, organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere.

I really appreciate businesses that offer good promotions like this because it makes customers want to come back again. My only wish is that they would offer more coupons and special deals more often because they are truly worth it.

Overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend Bruegger’s Bagels to others.“

“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!“

“🥯 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!

“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.“

“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 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😄!“

“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“

“I ordered from here on DoorDash and the order was beyond incorrect but the manager Brayden went above and beyond to correct the mistake for me including an offer to drive the correct order to my house asap. I really appreciate this business’s resolution and even though the order was wrong it still tasted great“

“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!“

“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.“

“They are delicious!!!! 😋 😋😋😋“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 NY STYLE BAGELS!!! Great service too“

“I came here to study and it was a great experience! Quick service, super friendly staff, and such a good atmosphere. Everyone was really attentive and made us feel genuinely cared for. Great vibes all around—definitely coming back!“
