If you happen to be in San Diego, I would personally consider this a must-hit restaurant. Everything here is delicious and although my expectations for this place were very high, they were still surpassed. I had a steak, egg, and cheese bagel that was excellent, with the vegan steak being very tender and filling. I was also very impressed by the other bagel sandwich I had, a latke, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich that was somehow even tastier than the steak bagel sandwich I had....

The turkey bacon club is amazing! It's jam-packed w goods, as if they put a whole package of vegan meat in there! Very generous portion size. Love the mayo and cheese in it, too. My husband and I split this sandwich for breakfast. Highly recommend.

Dropped some friends off at the SD airport early in the morning and went straight to Ben and Esther’s afterwards together some breakfast. Cute little place with all sorts of sandwiches, pasta and potato salad, bagels and more. We got the egg, cheese and sausage bagel sandwich and the bagel and lox sandwich. Bonus - free coffee before 10am. The sandwiches were delicious!! Very soft bagels and the fillings were great. I would love to go back for lunch and try the Philly or Rueben....
