Bagels Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“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.“

“Fantastic experience. Bagels were super soft on the inside and crunchy enough on the outside. Cream cheese was light and fluffy. Lox was plentiful in the cream cheese. Terrific customer service from Ashton. Very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!“

“the best coffee in San Diego hands down!“

“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!“

“Greetings I grew up on the East Coast until age 40 , I had bagels from Jewish Bagel Shops Manhattan, I think the bagels at this Big City Bagel shop in San Diego BETTER , there are numerous bagel shops here , compared to Big Bagels no very good
another bonus all the girls who work here are hot yummy , couple pics my Belgium Malinoise“

“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!“

“Great breakfast items! Great family 💙“

“My first time here. I saw they were known for their Ham cheese and jalapeño croissants. I had to try one. It did not disappoint. Lots of ham. Great flavor and big size.
The doughnuts were melt in your mouth and so fresh. Next time I want to try a breakfast sandwich. Service was good too! I’ll definitely be a regular. ♥️“

“We love this place. Freshest most delicious donuts I’ve had in a while. Love the croissant sandwiches too!“

“Todo riquisimo muy amables y atentos“

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

“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.“

“They have the most amazing drinks. I’ve gotten a hot Chai Late and an Iced Vietnamese coffee. I also got a Lox bagel it was so amazing. They ate super fast and kind. I highly recommend and I’ve gone 2 days in a row because I loved it so much. It’s very cute and cozy too! Love this place and will continue going back.“

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

“Amazing gorgeous perfect to die for bagels. Getting a fresh bagel here is honestly wonderful, they are so soft and pillowy and amazing that I never ever want them toasted. Fulfill everything you want a classic, simple bagel to do. Sacrifice is that the space is cramped, often very busy, and wait times can take a very long time. Not a reliable place for a quick breakfast. Much better if you have some time and want to enjoy a peaceful morning bagel. Due to popularity especially during peak hours and weekends, there can be long lines and bagels frequently sell out. But in my opinion, extremely worth it. I love Golden Bagel. Smoothies are also yum. This place is a local beloved pillar. I know people who would fight to defend this places honor.“

“Marigold has delicious bagels and fresh ingredients -- I will be the first to admit it's worth some of the hype.
Where they fall short is the service. I usually visit Saturday mornings and for the past couple times they have gotten my order wrong or just never made it; which happened this past weekend. When I ask about the order I am consistently met with someone who seems annoyed to have to speak with me. I get it, things happen, I am very understanding, but multiple times they respond with no apology, thank you for your patience, or sorry for the inconvenience. It truly is that simple for me :)
Not a lot to ask, especially since I am paying $6.95 for a plain bagel and cream cheese for my 6 year old.“

“great donuts not very expensive got to get there early to get the good ones“

“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! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Einsteins bagels in Del Cero is always a great place with great food and drinks, but I especially wanted to call out exceptional customer service by Emily and the staff at this location. Emily was welcoming, and frankly, turned my day around as she was happy to answer all my silly questions on their vanilla cold brew. Thank you Emily and team, I appreciate your effort and attitude!“

“Fresh bagels with a wide variety to choose from. Had the butter toasted sesame bagels with veggie cream cheese. They were perfectly toasted and generously buttered, and absolutely delicious. Cash only. They were out of hot chocolate. Highly recommend to try this place.“

“Good morning 🌞 . Rise and shine ✨.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I just want to say this team working this morning before 11am on 4-9-26 knows what teamwork is all about. I was shocked at speed, friendliness and control each person has during busy rush. They even supported each other too. Please make sure they receive a shoutout from above. This service was off the scales. Thank you.
The vermonter was delicious omg!!“

“Bruegger’s Bagels made our morning with a breakfast order that delivered on both comfort and flavor. We started with the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast sandwich, which was classic, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a go-to breakfast—warm, hearty, and delicious. The Farmhouse breakfast sandwich was equally enjoyable, offering a well-balanced and filling option that didn’t disappoint.

The real standout, though, was the Sriracha Honey Sunrise breakfast sandwich. This one absolutely stole the show. The sauce hit that perfect balance of sweet and heat, elevating every bite and turning a great breakfast into an unforgettable one. It was bold without being overpowering and easily the highlight of the meal. After this experience, Bruegger’s has earned a spot as a regular weekend breakfast staple for us. Honestly, we’re not sure why the review score is as low as it is—our breakfast was fantastic from start to finish.“

“This is a perfect little breakfast shop - they have a wide selection and excellent bakery items. I was staying at a hotel nearby and came here every morning for breakfast and had something new and delicious each time! I highly recommend the croissants 🔥“

“Fresh donuts daily and great staff!“

“BEST BAGEL AND COFFEE SHOP IN TOWN service was by far the best I’ve gotten since I’ve moved out here to SD thank you to the staff and VERONICA :) who prepared the bagel it was outstanding 😄 and my coffee perfect to the taste chefs kiss 💋 !! I will be coming back as a regular“

“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“

“Gret Coffee, would recomened“

“Excellent freshly made onsite bagels with at least a dozen different varieties. You can take out or sit at one of the tables inside.
I ordered the Everything bagel with lox, red onion, cream cheese and capers. I skipped the tomato on my second visit as it didn't add much and made it harder to eat. That along with a large coffee made a wonderful very tasty breakfast. Great bagels!!
Staff were friendly and efficient and kept the line moving along nicely so waits are minimal.“

“Good Bagels what else can I say. 🤓“

“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.“

“First time having avocado spread on toasted bagel. it was good.“

“The bagels were fresh, warm, and had a nice chewy texture without being too heavy. I got a toasted bagel with cream cheese and it was pretty solid, especially with the amount of cream cheese they put on it. The shop had a relaxed, local feel and the staff was friendly enough. Service took a little longer than I expected, but nothing crazy. Overall, it was a good breakfast and I’d probably come back when I’m in the area again. Nothing overly fancy, just a good bagel and a simple place to grab a quick bite.“

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

“* **Great breakfast spot!** The bagels are always fresh, perfectly chewy, and they don't skimp on the cream cheese. Fast and friendly service, too.
* **Highly recommend.** Huge selection of bagels and sandwiches. The staff is welcoming, and the service is incredibly quick.
* **My new go-to bagel place.** Incredible texture, excellent breakfast sandwiches, and a really clean, cozy atmosphere.“
