Bagels Restaurants near Santa Ana, CA

“First time here and we (my partner and I) loved it! We come to Santa Ana not too often, but now will try to stop by! So may great bagels, we'll served! Delicious add-ons! The spreads just enough like the 5 cheese with sausage and 1 egg! Cooked and made right in front of you! See you next time!“

“My first time to eat here, service and food was so amazing I love it. I ordered one smokehouse brisket for me, I finished the bagel and I want more … I’m thinking why I didn’t order 2 or 3, it’s ok I’m going back there again… c u soon guys“

“Oh man, this donut shop is an absolute gem! Stopped by this morning and was blown away by the fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth donuts--every bite was pure bliss. I've had every donut and let me tell you, nostalgic and brings you back to childhood memory lane that just hit all the right spots. The staff was super friendly, hooked me up with a fresh batch, and the vibe in there is so cozy and welcoming. The smoothies are on point too! Honestly, I'm already craving my next visit. Five stars, hands down!
Easy to find easy to order and always done to the customers request. One of the best hole in the wall donut shops that's still around

You gotta check it out! You won't be disappointed“

“I was craving New York bagels and found this local spot. I stopped in, and the staff was friendly, food was very tasty, and I definitely recommend an everything bagel with cheese, egg, turkey, sausage, and cream cheese. Will definitely be coming back must try, if you’ve had New York bagels.🤤🔥“

“Their vanilly iced latte,ginger lemongrass iced tea,fruit tea and bagels are amazing“

“This place is great!! Joel was one of the kindest person to me and that goes a long way, you will always remember how you’re treated and how they make you feel and this place is was a house of kindness and great eats! Highly recommend this place! Thank you Joel and Bella 🤍🤍🤍🐣🖤😍“

“Absolutely delicious bagels! A bit of a wait but very worth it. I got a Santa Monica which was on the smaller side, but not egregiously so — the flavor / texture was very much on point. My partner got the garden which wasn’t the easiest to eat but was incredibly fresh and delicious. Would love to come back sometime.“

“Plenty of parking and convenience since it’s right on the corner of 2 streets and right next to 405 freeway entrance. Got couple tables & chairs outside for seating, clean, spacious and well set up inside with minimal clean cut decor and high chair seatings. Got a small coffee station. Clear and plenty varies bagel choices. Nice & friendly service. Easy & quick order. Hot pizza with double toasted w/ cream cheese. Bagel is nice and good with pizza flavor. Generous cream cheese filling. Overall nice & tasty bagel with good service.“

“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?“

“Delicious, fresh, soft bagels! This place is a must try if you’re looking for fresh bagels. I come here all the time to get a half dozen. They have many flavors, Asiago, jalapeño, everything, garlic, sun dried tomato, sourdough, blueberry, wheat, poppy, coconut; and so many more. They also have tubs of cream cheese you can buy, I tried the chive & onion cream cheese and the Lox (smoked salmon) cream cheese, both SO good!
Once you try these, you can’t go back to store-bought bagels.“

“Friendly staff and fresh, delicious food! Highly recommend.“

“My son and I went here last Saturday at his request. I ordered a cinnamon roll and he had an everything bagel. Both were excellent and reasonably priced. Service was also very good.

What would have made the experience better is freshly grounded coffee. I know there is a Starbucks less than 100 yards away that they would compete against but sometimes it is matter of convenience if one is ordering in.“

“Think you can get a Lox Bagel Sandwich this good at a massive corporate chain? Not a chance. Support your local favorite bagel shop instead! I’m seriously impressed by the quality, price, and the generous amount of salmon they pack in here.“

“The store has a cozy and warm atmosphere. The friendly owners provide friendly explanations. They toast delicious bagels warmly. I ordered morning rush coffee recommended by the male owner and ate it with cream cheese on the seat in front of the store. The bagels were chewy and very delicious. The coffee was also great. It was good, good to eat for breakfast. and the price just right

Parking: Anywhere in front of the store“

“Great corner bagel shop with plenty of choices of bagel as well as cream cheese. They do have coffee too. Clean and bright with good vibe. Friendly staff. Bagels are tasty and but the cream cheese filling was so little. Wish it just abit more.“

“I had to ham and cheese croissant with chocolate milk and it was absolutely delicious I love this selection of bagels and I found the staff to be incredibly polite and friendly. You get a lot of bang for your buck in a place like this so if you’re looking for a quick breakfast before you go to the beach this place is absolutely ideal!“

“Yummy & inexpensive donuts. Drive thru is wonderful!“

“Rutabegorz is consistently one of my favorite spots for a healthy and delicious lunch. The menu is massive, offering an incredible variety of dishes, from their famous, giant salads to unique wraps and savory sides, so there’s always something new to try. You can tell the food is always fresh and carefully prepared, and the service is both friendly and impressively efficient, even during the busy lunch rush. It’s the perfect neighborhood gem!“

“Great Sesame Bagel & coffee! And I love the space. I’m planning to come for coffee often after school starts up again. ❤️“

“Quick service and reasonably priced bagels; this must be the only place in a 10 mile radius where one can get a lox bagel for less than $10. However, on two occasions, I requested a sesame seed bagel and was told that none were available to find that not two minutes after my order a fresh batch is brought out. I now find it necessary to ask about what bagels are to come, as less than ten minutes is no bother to wait. It is also also a tad difficult to find this Einstein Bros. Bagel if you know not where to look: it is located inside the Phoenix Food Court, and the presence of the bagel shop is not advertised from outside.“

“The apple fritter had a Mexican flavor to it, it was surprising but good. My son had a donut twist, my other son had donut holes and they both enjoyed it. We shared a maple old fashioned and it was yummy. We are Spanish speakers and didn’t have a problem ordering. For all that it was $5.40, seems affordable !“

“Everyone without 1 mile radius wants $20+ for assorted dozen. ?! What? ... called $17.99. Has them packed and ready when I arrived. Plus 3 beautiful smiles waiting with A1 customer service. This is the only place I'm going in Buena Park for donuts !!“

“Great place! Great coffee and right by the beach!“

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

“I very much just enjoyed my experience. Older gentleman was very nice on the phone place my order right away I got it as soon as I got there. They even have those little coffee plastic hole covers which is so nice when the coffee doesn't spill everywhere. Their phone system need some tweaking you have to select three to speak to team member but the prompt says one for orders.“

“The food is delicious. 99% of the servers were nice. There was one who had no "aloha" whatsoever. She was having a bad day, I guess.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love this place! I found Toast & Dough on DoorDash and it’s become my special morning treat. My go to is the Large Vietnamese Coffee & Egg & Cheese Croissant. Occasionally, I’ll switch to the Avocado Egg & Cheese for a $1 more. I have yet to visit in person ( would probably be better for my pocket$), but they do have sort of a “reward” deal with DoorDash, where if you spend $100 then you get a $10 back towards your next order. Keep up the great quality and pricing! Truly a neighborhood gem.“

“here visiting a friend! Great place, friendly people good donuts!“

“2026 Update: Prices have sharply increased 2025-2026 with a few price increases, and service has declined in two our recent Spring 2026 visits. A combo for bagel and coffee is around $9-16 now, and some bagels are $6-9 by themselves. A half dozen bagels I think is $14 now (cream cheese not included). Bringing from 5 stars to 4 stars

2025 Original Review:

Got a half dozen bagels and each were done to perfection, would come back

Price: It’s $13 for a half dozen bagels and I believe $7 for cream cheese as of May 2025.

Vibe/Atmosphere: There is a bit of seating inside and outside, but nothing fancy. There is also a bathroom inside but sign said out of order during my visit.“

“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 Lox bagel sandwich is so good 😋💕 and the blueberry donuts are amazing! Also service is always 102038829191% amazing.“

“muy rico los desayunos se la recomiendo“

“Great breakfast spot and great toasted 🥯“

“I really like to get my latte from this shop. Very polite and smiley staff. Thanks HB Bagels & Cafe for my morning caffeine!“

“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.“

“Bruegger’s Bagels has a really good bagel egg and cheese bagel, but the iced coffee was just okay and my order took a decent amount of time to be ready after ordering. I took the bagel sandwich back to my hotel, hence the very photogenic picture, the location was just okay.“

“We stopped here on our way out of town the morning after Disneyland. The breakfast sandwiches were so amazing. The orange was incredibly fresh and tasted like liquid oranges. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely coming back next time we have a Disney trip!“

“I absolutely love bagel shack in Irvine. They are so nice and get my bagel right every single time they’re so fresh and delicious. I go at least twice a week and I am never unsatisfied with their service and the taste of their delicious bagels.“

“this place has the best bagels I've ever had, I ordered French toast bagels, and cheese everything, we were a group of 14 people, the staff was outstanding, very patient with everyone, and the food was excellent, definitely loved it,“

“A blueberry muffin with a hot tea always a nice way to start your day.“

“Whenever I want to get donuts I only go to Kenny's Donuts. You can keep your Dunkin Donuts which I grew up on back in 1989 long before they came to California and compared to Kenny's Donuts I'd rate them a 3 stars out of 10. I don't understand why everyone always gives Krispy Kreme such high praise for their donuts cuz personally they barely get 1 star out of 10. I won't rate their shops just their donuts cuz I'm sure their employees and the restaurants would get way more stars than the generic taste of a simple glazed donut which I sadly wasted money on trying it out back in 2002. You want great taste and quality you go to Kenny's Donuts and I promise you'll be going back every morning but don't go before 430-5am cuz they make everything fresh and warm after they open at 3am and all the good stuff takes time to make but I usually go around 515-530am when I know everything is made and still warm and there is never more than 2 people inside. If you like regular glazed, glazed twist, glazed donut holes, maple/chocolate bars, jelly, then Kenny's is the best place to go and every donut is $1.45 - $1.65, or you can order a breakfast sandwich, to go with a hot cup of coffee, or a made to order blended drink off the wall picture menu, or a cold drink from their 2 big drink refrigerators. If you're a fan of racing legend John Force you might just see him there, he's a longtime regular and goes often. I stood in line behind John a few months ago they even have his signed picture up on the wall. He lives only a few minutes away. I highly recommend Kenny's Donuts nextdoor to Canyon Inn bar & grill.“

“Good donut shop with various treats. Nice range of donuts and other options. We all have our faves; choc sprinkled, buttermilk glazed, blueberry cake...mmm. We did try the muffins and the blueberry is very dough like, maybe underbaked, so pass on that. We found the banana nut muffin to be baked better, interesting texture witha chewy sweet muffin top. Will be back to try other treats.
Bring cash!!“

“Amazing customer service. They made us fell special, welcomed and loved!“
