We have been coming here for years. The biggest, fluffiest bagels! Recently the owners hired a bunch of young ladies, and my little girls are obsessed with them. They are SO kind, they make our day every time! If I could rate more than 5 stars on food and customer service, I would. We won’t go anywhere else!

Absolutely loved my visit to Bagel Bistro! The lavender latte was perfectly balanced—smooth and fragrant. Paired it with their avocado bagel, and it was fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. Can’t wait to come back❤️

This review is so long overdue I have been coming here for the past 3 years and every time I come in it's nothing but exceptional. The owners & staff are always so nice and welcoming. They always acknowledge you upon entry. I have gotten bagels with cream cheese just the basics but I also try there specialty bagels as well. My go to is their Sun Dried Supreme on an Everything Bagel and I add Ham & Avocado. I also replace there egg whites with their plant based egg substitute "just egg" brand egg. I have a mild allergy to eggs so I'm so grateful they have alternatives. You just have to ask. The ambiance is great if you wanna come for a lil coffee date or even to study for a bit this place is great. I like how there always so tidy even there restroom is always clean. They also make smoothies and specialty coffee. When ever I have ordered a smoothie I get it with almond milk.

Recently opened and will certainly give a great alternative to '5bucks' nearby. They really did a great job with the interior. It comfortable and warm. Bagels are fresh and really good. Had breakfast bagel and it was prepared perfectly. Coffee was good. The really went way beyond here with comfort. Upholstered bench seating available as well as thoughtful and numerous power outlets. Common courtyard has plenty of cafe tables and umbrellas. Definitely an awesome sunrise coffee destination.

They have the best bagel breakfast sandwiches in town. My kids and I love the The Works, on a sesame bagel is my jam. The service is also consistently excellent. The owners and their crew are super friendly and always get our somewhat complicated order right.

Love the menu! All the bagels here are fresh and the menu items are delish. Had the Nova Lox and Cream cheese on a sourdough bagel 🤌, and the herb turkey 😋😋 - SO good! Atmosphere is cozy and clean.

My family is a regular here, and we absolutely love it! The staff is friendly and the bagels are AMAZING! We also order the chocolate muffin with chocolate chips and it tastes like the Disney land muffins Disney stopped selling! The matcha latte and chai tea are excellent! I seriously could go on and on about how great this place is.

Decent bagel shop! We were in the area for other reasons but wanted some lunch. We got the Italian sandwich on an asiago bagel, the BLAT on a garlic parmesan bagel, and a cheese pizza on a plain bagel. I wouldn't bother with the pizza bagels: plain tomato paste as the sauce. Our daughter liked it, but it's not quite worth the price. BLAT and Italian sandwiches were fantastic.

If you are going to be closed you need to update Google so your customers know. Ridiculous to put a sign in the window and think that’s ok when people may be getting up early and relying on your food and timing for breakfast. Bagels are good for west coast. Service is great when open.

This place is good. I've been here several times but not recently. The staff are always nice and they get the orders made relatively quickly. I had the bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. If you're nearby and wanting breakfast, this is the best option.

Cashier took my coupon for a free soda but then I double checked receipt and he charged me for it anyway! Bagels are good though.

The bagels are good, the staff is nice, my concern is the way they cook the eggs in the microwaves in plastic containers which is unsafe.

I ordered the poppy bagel with Sun Dried tomato spread and it was literally pizza sauce. Gross. The lady behind the counter was trying to avoid customers. Peerless coffee is generally good, not great, but they even managed to screw that up with grounds in my cup. The poppy bagel itself was ok.

The food was tasty yet two major issues: 1. It wasn't crowded when I visited yet it took about 7-10 minute for a toasted bagel with cream cheese to be made. Seemed like an unnecessary long wait. And, 2. The cost for that bagel plus a small orange juice was about $13 plus tip. Just can't figure out why prices truly are so inflated.

Staff here didn’t know what they had available. Purchased a few bakery items, they gave us the wrong items and only told us afterwords that they didn’t have what we ordered. Staff is mostly teenagers that don’t care to fix the issue, they just ignored me after I asked them to resolve it. Left a generous tip which I wish now I had not. Very smokey inside, I wouldn’t bring a baby. Breakfast bagel was average, nothing special but overpriced. No hand soap in the bathrooms. Would not recommend.

This place is actually close to me and I was really excited about it initially. We got a jalapeño cheese and a bagel dog. Unfortunately as we were consuming the bagel dog my partner discovered a green circular mold inside of the hotdog itself. It was warmed we bought and consumed it on the same day (within the hour of purchase). After finding this I tried calling the bagel shop just to notify them but no one answered. Today I tried calling again and was able to get in touch with someone. I didn't ask for a refund and explained what happened. I simply wanted to alarm them of what happened and they told me the bagel dog is contracted out from a vendor. That they would not even notify the vendor unless I brought to them the molded bagel dog. I explained I have a picture in which they told me was not enough. So now I am posting it here to help spread awareness about it since they refused to do anything about it. I wouldn't recommend. I just looked at their yelp photos and this is not the first time they have sold molded food.

Stupid long (20 min) wait for one bagel sandwich. Not worth it. Won’t be back. Not friendly at all

Paid $9 for a $4 bagel. Was told there was a $3 fee to cut it in half.
