Bagels Restaurants near Tustin, CA

“Ive been meaning to go to 5th Ave Bagelry and I was finally able to make it in today. I wanted something savory and I was recommended the Asiago cheese bagel with plain cream cheese. Wow it was delicious! 😁 I also got a Tai chi tea which paired perfectly with my bagel. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you ladies!“

“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 🤍🤍🤍🐣🖤😍“

“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 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.“

“I had a really great experience at Noah’s Bagels and wanted to take a moment to give a special shoutout to Elizabeth. She provided some of the best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time and really stood out from the moment I interacted with her.

Elizabeth was extremely friendly, welcoming, patient, and professional. She had a great attitude and made the whole experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. She was very helpful and made sure everything was taken care of properly. Even during what seemed like a busy time, she remained positive and treated me with respect and kindness.

What I appreciated most was how genuine her customer service felt. Sometimes employees can seem like they’re just going through the motions, but Elizabeth genuinely seemed to care about making sure I had a good experience. She was approachable, attentive, and made me feel like a valued customer. That kind of service really makes a difference.

The food and overall experience at Noah’s Bagels were great, but Elizabeth was definitely the highlight of my visit. Employees like her are a huge part of what makes people want to come back. A friendly attitude and a little extra effort can completely change a customer’s day, and Elizabeth definitely did that for me.

I really hope management sees this review and recognizes Elizabeth for her hard work. She represents Noah’s Bagels extremely well and deserves appreciation for the effort she puts into taking care of customers. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I hope I get the chance to see Elizabeth again.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for the excellent service and for making my visit such a positive experience! Noah’s Bagels is lucky to have someone like you on their team.“

“Good bagels at this place“

“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.🤤🔥“

“Loved the bacon avocado burger! 🍔“

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

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

“Everything was exceptionally good. I decided on The Dodger which was fresh, delicious, and everything a smoked salmon bagel should be. My partner always goes for a basic sesame with cream cheese and said it’s the best he’s had on the West Coast. Even the fresh orange juice was delicious. I wish we lived closer as we’d be here super frequently. Don’t miss out on this Costa Mesa gem!!!“

“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?“

“Good bagels at this place“

“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!“

“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.“

“went in for a quick breakfast and ended up staying way longer than i planned, thats how good it is. the everything bagel was warm and chewy with just the right amount of crunch, cream cheese was thick and spread on perfect. got a blueberry one for later and it was still soft the next morning, which never happens. definitely my new spot, im already thinking about going back tommorrow.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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“

“Casual and close, great spot for meet up.“

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

“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.“

“While I have yet to try the bagel portion of this place I'll say their smoothies pop like no other. I love a nice strong fruit flavor when I order a smoothie of any kind and wanted to treat myself after a long work week. Ended up going for the solid uber eats deal and got two smoothies for 15 bucks. Overall taste popped, it actually came with a carrier (which is a low bar surprisingly with smoothie places doing online orders nowadays) and solid for the size given. I'd love to go in again someday soon and try the rest of their menu.“

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

“Our favorite is the open face Old Man Bagel with cream cheese and avocado on a toasted Jalapeno Cheese bagel. The staff member at the Dana Point location who prepared ours recently, put their heart and soul into making it. It was perfectly delicious.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 can’t recommend this place enough! i can say with certainty this was the best bagel i’ve ever had. i got a plain bagel with veggie cream cheese, and the cream cheese was handmade with real veggies, it was toasted to perfection, and was SO light and fresh. it was incredible!! the owners were extremely kind to my mom and i, and it was the best experience! would give 10 stars if i could 😊“

“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.“

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

“😋😋😋Cali veggie!!! deliciosos desayunos !!! 🍳“

“Went for their Taco Tuesday special. The flavor was good and oh my goodness do they fill up the taco with meat amd double tortilla. The salsa are spicy and have good flavor too. Definitely give them a try. I also saw they have daily specials during the week.“

“Nice employees, tasty and non greasy donuts. I came here for the mochi donuts 🍩 and they have quite a few favors (5). The price is cheap and affordable at $2.95 each for mochi donut. I must say it is so delicious, tasty, not too sweet and I will be coming back!“

“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“

“Incredible customer service and amazing donuts! We were visiting for a wedding and visited City Donuts twice. The owner was so kind, engaging, and welcoming. The whole family loved everything we ordered (donuts and breakfast sandwiches). Whether you are visiting or local, I highly recommend City Donuts! 🍩“

“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.“

“These are the best Donuts around. They are so yummy and fresh. They have the best frosting on them I have to stop there every time I'm in the center. Owners are very nice. We always enjoy their scrumptious Donuts.“

“Great breakfast spot and great toasted 🥯“

“Love the croissants and donuts...Great staff!BUT THE STORE HOURS ARE A ULTIMATE FAILURE....I will never understand why this store can't get a consistent schedule, especially with a decent amount of staff as well as booming business!!??!!!It's very unprofessional and inconsiderate at this point! Gas isn't cheap and you have a Google page to inform store hours...so why does the owner not utilize it??“

“Hot crullers at midnight, definitely not mid tier either - I’m not a connoisseur, but I’d drive an hour to go back for more. Nothing wrong with the atmosphere or the service. You want donuts, they put what you ask for in a box, you give them money, they give you the box. The donuts were great and I was sober. It wasn’t a holistic dining experience, but I’m not looking for that when it’s midnight I want to feel bad about my food choices. Would give them 10 stars if I could.“

“I ordered ahead...being it was a Sunday morning and will be busy...I arrive there..order was ready...bagel sandwich was good and coffee was good also..I didn't see any public restrooms at this location..so beware...but first time here and overall was a good experience...“

“Stopped by after a “tax after retirement” seminar that made me depressed. The lox with sesame bagel sure picked me up. The place looked and smelled so clean, and the staff were friendly. Felt like a smalls mom and pop store. Wish I took more
Photos but I was hungry ! 😋“
