Went in for a bagel with my older brother. I ordered the special, "The Wedge". It comes with lemon pepper, jalapeño and chives (cream cheese), lettuce, onion (I don't like onion so I just took it off), tomato and bacon. The bacon was super crispy and yummy. We also ordered a vanilla coffee and got it pretty instantly.

The online order process was perfect. My order was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. No waiting. I was in and out. I can't recommend the lox and bagel sandwich. But I suspect it has a lot to do with the price of salmon these days.

Stingy amount of food considering the amount of excess the store has available. Definitely not going back not recommending this store for regular business.

Get a Lowers sandwich w/ whatever breakfast meat you enjoy (my favorite is Sausage) and add cream cheese to it. I put it on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. You WONT regret it!!

One of my all time favorite bagel spots in Lake Forest! I frequent this location a lot, since it is on the way to work and very convenient. They take phone orders, making it very easy to come in and out when on the go. I usually go for the following: Lowers Sandwich: I usually get sausage with egg and cheese on a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. I know it sounds weird, but I love a sweet and salty combo. Their cinnamon crunch bagel is also to die for! Not too sweet but you do get that crunch on top. They always cut it in half for you, making it very easy to eat! Old Man's Bagel: This bagel includes cream cheese and avocado slices with lemon pepper seasoning on top. A very addicting bagel that I have shared with others and they now frequent just for this! You need to try it on a cinnamon crunch (can you tell I love this bagel?) or plain bagel works as well. The service here is usually very quick and the owner is quite friendly. They are very consistent and never run out of any of their bagels, like other shops do. Go try it out!

My go-to bagel shop in Lake Forest! The staff is always so friendly. The line is out the door on the weekends because it's so good. My go-to is the cinnamon crunch bagel. Super delicious!

Best bagels of all time! My favorite is the cinnamon crunch bagel. Everything was amazing! Service is fabulous! Chad the owner could not be nicer. Great job!

Horrible! Pass on asking for any specialty sandwich there. Just stick to bagels and go home and make your own. Overpriced and under served! First and last time I order this sorry excuse of a "breakfast bagel"

Excellent! Even though they were busy the service was quick. Nice seating area outside. Only negative is they have so many good looking menu items it's difficult to choose!

Nice and soft bagels - sandwich was great for a quick lunch. I had the roast beef sandwich which had a lot of toppings and came with a pickle and a Parmesan crusted bagel chip. Pretty tasty!

Stimbled across this place traveling from San Diego to Long Beach, and WOW!, what a find!! The place is small, and there were about twenty people waiting in line, so we knew we had found something good. The line went fast, order takers were friendly, and the bagels were AWESOME! Highly recommend this place for anyone who likes breakfast and bagels. Very reasonably priced for what you get, which is surprising considering where it is located. Would absolutely return when back in the area.
