Bagels Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“Todo riquisimo muy amables y atentos“

“When we visit San Diego, we eat here at least 3 times. We absolutely LOVE their bagels (they are heavenly and actually give you a good amount of cream cheese!)I love the look of their merch, my only complaint is that we visit yearly, every single year I try to get merch and they are always “sold out” 😔 I dunno how everything is always sold out every-time I ask the last 8 years. Online they tend to be sold out as well the few times I have looked. It is such a dang bummer. I’d love to support with wearing merch. Still hoping one trip I’ll get lucky and they will have something in stock 😅. Also, their lemonade is super super tart. So if you like it sweet like I do, dont get it. The sugar did not help it at all and I added a ton 😂 The other drinks are good!“

“Good coffee. Cute shop. Barista's were friendly.“

“Always an amazing experience. I love that they offer vegan options that are delicious and unique. It is one of my favorites for donuts! The coffee is quite good too.“

“Very friendly staff. I got a monkey mocha and it was delicious. I saw the orange coconut cake and had to go back later to get some. It was amazing also.“

“My Fav Lox & Cream breakfast bagel 🥯 🐟 🐠 🎣 sandwich! Bagels are made fresh here daily 😎 and you can sign up for points! A great 👍 way to start the day! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“My daughters & I visited this area in March & found this cute little cafe. It was so good we ate there 3 mornings in a row. Andrea greeted me by name on only our 2nd visit there. If you want a friendly, quaint little breakfast place I would highly recommend The Cliffs Cafe!“

“Probably the best coffee I’ve had outside of Washington state since I’ve been here. Food was excellent and a good value also!“

“After coming here for four years, the service has consistently been great. When my brain is fried from being a college student and parent, the staff is always friendly and smiley even when I stall or forget half of my order. They are life savers and the support I never knew I would get. Food is excellent, ambience is calm and the service is fast.“

“Best donuts in San Diego, very nice people.“

“My husband and I love coming here! One of our favorite places to go! The owners are amazingly sweet, very welcoming and always have great customer service!🥰 I recommend anything you get here will be delicious!😋 They have some speciality drinks from Lemon Tea which is my favorite, Green lemon tea, Thai tea, Vietnamese coffee, cold brew and plenty of shake drinks to choose from! Their bacon croissant is super tasty 🤤 but anything you get you won't regret! 😉
Not to mention all the different flavors for donuts 🍩 So stop by and enjoy!“

“Good morning 🌞 . Rise and shine ✨.“

“Standard chain bagel shop in the West in America. Not NY bagels exactly, but better than competitors such as Einstein. Wanted a local shop, but none available in Pacific Beach within beach cruiser distance of the Airbnb.
Good bagels and cream cheese and super nice staff.“

“Great breakfast items! Great family 💙“

“Of the e handful of franchises that are bagel focused businesses I recommend Brueggers as being the most authentic and well run. The options, flavors and quality are excellent. I’m a bit of a bagel snob so this doesn’t come from me easily.“

“Favorite brunch is nova lox on sesame bagel . Yum!“

“Food was delicious! We got a tuna sand-which and a pizza bagel and they were extremely fresh and came out quickly. The sand-which was flavorful and full of fresh ingredients and the pizza bagel which we got on the bialy bagel was light, fluffy and also very flavorful. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Today I went there to redeem my reward for a free egg bagel sandwich because it was my birthday. They had send my redeeming code through my email. I got what I wanted.“

“One of the best bagels in San Diego.
Unfortunately subpar to a NY bagel in terms of size (they’re too small) and they don’t put enough filling in the sandwiches (ie lox, cream cheese , etc). Also missing classic additives like dill and capers (says they put them on the menu, but the sandwich definitely didn’t have) . I would come back for just the bagels though.“

“Your basic chain bagel situation. Very similar to Einstein bros bagels. I got a pastrami and egg and a corned beef and egg bagel sandwiches for breakfast. They were decent. I would recommend coming here for a quick cheap grab and go breakfast.“

“I really like that pistachio latte and their lox and bagel. This place is a local gem can get very busy but they do fare well when they are bombarded by customers all at once. Been going here for about three years and the consistency of the product is upheld, so the flavor of your drinks don’t vary much from shift changes that much. Will be back soon. Keep up the good work Java Crew.“

“Good coffee. Cute shop. Barista's were friendly.“

“Great ambiance. Was a great scene to see a kitten being walked on a leash. I appreciate the dog friendliness. Reminder of better times. Hopefully all is well in sunny San Diego.“

“Delicious, wonderful, and great customer serve. I’ve never been unhappy. That’s my me-time place to be.“

“I know it’s a chain but it feels like a welcoming little local spot. Prices are very reasonable which I feel is so rare these days, service is good and all the employees are friendly. We love coming here for bacon/sausage, egg, and cheese bagels/croissants and a few donuts.“

“The orange juice is DIVINE! Great pastries and amazing bagels. You won’t find a better ham and cheese croissant. The strawberry cream cheese and jalapeño cream cheese are also standouts.

I was so confused that the rating wasn’t higher so I went to read the negative reviews and found them a bit laughable. The bagel shop has a long line so customer service is quick and efficient (not rude or cold). The team is gentle and the orders are done with intention and care.

As an aside, I also found it bizarre that people would actively promote chains instead of local businesses or would think it’s okay to take photos of workers without consent.“

“Great service and seating“

“Bruegger’s Bagels has become one of my absolute favorite go-to spots, especially on busy mornings when I need something comforting, flavorful, and fast. There’s just something about walking into a Bruegger’s and smelling the fresh bagels baking that instantly puts me in a better mood. No matter how hectic my morning might be, I know I can count on Bruegger’s to give me that little moment of peace — and a seriously good bagel — before I dive into the rest of my day. I usually switch between a jalapeño cheese bagel with cream cheese and a plain or jalapeño bagel loaded with ham, egg, and cheese. Both options are absolutely delicious. The jalapeño cheese bagel has that perfect little kick to it, balanced by the smooth, creamy richness of the cream cheese. And when I’m hungrier or need something more filling before a long workday, the ham, egg, and cheese sandwich totally hits the spot. The bagels are always fresh and chewy with just the right amount of crispness on the outside, and the flavor is so satisfying — bold, rich, and super well-made. One of the things I appreciate most is how quick and reliable the service is. Even on a rough morning, I know I can walk in, order, and have my bagel hot and ready in about five minutes. That convenience makes a huge difference when I’m trying to get to my corporate office on time but still want something that feels homemade and hearty. I usually eat it right there before heading in to start my day, and those few minutes of enjoying a warm, fresh bagel always help ground me. Bruegger’s isn’t just a bagel place to me — it’s part of my routine, part of what helps me push through the tough mornings and feel a little more ready to take on the day. There’s comfort in knowing I can rely on them for good food, good service, and a little calm in the middle of the morning rush. I just love Bruegger’s, and I’ll always keep coming back.“

“Great option for a quick breakfast either sit down or to go. Good service, food was tasty and that had coffee. They also offered free cups for water which is great for people that don’t like coffee

Kid-friendliness: Standard little bagel shop, no issues bringing kids here“

“Good coffee. Cute shop. Barista's were friendly.“

“the only donuts worth the calories.

i don’t even mind the 30-minute drive from escondido. this place is incredible, and i recommend it to everyone. easily the best donut i’ve ever had — and i’ve tried plenty. they also bake fresh bread, croissants, and bagels daily. the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel or croissant is to die for.

they also make sandwiches with freshly sliced boar’s head meats — a detail that proves they care about quality.

if you try this place and don’t think it’s the best donut you’ve ever had, i’ll personally give you your money back.“

“Apparently this doughnut shop has been around for a long time. I driven by here hundreds of time and didn't even know it was there. I stopped in for a maple old fashion and a cup of coffee.

The maple old fashion was very good. It had those good crisp edges and soft middle. The maple flavor was very good. The lady Chen, dropped a couple of glazed doughnut holes in my bag and they were good. The coffee was very good. It was of the drip variety and it was smooth with good flavor.

The owner Chen was very nice. She was a one woman crew when I came in, and with several customers, the handled it well with a smile on her face. The doughnut shop offers a variety of doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, frozen yogurt, and ice cream.“

“Best deli sandwich I've ever had! Customer service is awesome. Only and minor complaint are the tables! Not stable! Need to get some new tables. Have gone almost every day since visiting here. They get crowded at lunch but they are still pretty quick.“

“Fantastic bagels 🥯 and delicious coffee“

“It's always the best choice of my breakfast over the weekend!“

“Delicious food and fast service! Their cold drinks are some of the best and pair perfectly with the bagels. Just keep in mind they don’t serve hot coffee here, likely due to the neighboring Starbucks. Overall, a great spot for fresh bagels and quick bites.“
