Bagel Me!

This place was just OK to me. If I need a bagel in an emergency situation I’d return but I wouldn’t go out of my way for this place.

Came in about 7AM. Parking lot adjacent to the building is very small… Maybe 8 – 10 spaces, of which the requisite handicapped slot takes up at least two spaces. However, there is a secondary parking lot directly the south that appears to be available for use, albeit unattached to the main lot… If you miss it as you approach from the south, you’ll have to go around again.
Inside, there was a strong smell which I couldn’t quite place… It wasn’t offensive, just curious. There were a few people seated and I had but a few moments to wait to place my order. The young lady which took my order wasn’t overly friendly, which seems to be the modern day de facto standard, but she was courteous and helpful. I ordered my Lox And Cream Cheese and had my number in moments and was sent to my table. The food was delivered to my table within about 8 minutes or so and was delightful.
The shop may have a ventilation issue… The windows were steamed up on the inside… And the masonry (drywall) appeared to be flaking/​peeling in one spot near what appears to be an AC register.
All in all, not a bad experience. Though unless they bring in more people for a rush, it’s easy to see how they might get severely over run.

Always wonderful been coming here for almost 15 years love everything about it food service quality of servers professionalism excellent

I ordered an Egg, Cheddar & Bacon Melt to go and it took them 20 minutes to get it out to me. Not the place when you want a quick meal.

Soooo… I haven’t visited any bagel me in a ling time because there’s nine by my area. I was in tustin and decided to get some bagels.
When you walk in you can see its not kept up and the employees are unorganized. We ordered 2 bagels and a drink, when we were about to pay the guy at the register (poor personal hygiene) mentioned it would take about 25 minutes to get the bagels because they were behind with their orders, if that was ok. It is not ok, so we decided to get the drink instead. We waited for the drink for about 10 minutes. We decided to take a seat and wait. The table was dirty and the trash overfilled. Not a pleasant sight while waiting for your food. While we were waiting they got 2 orders wring and it was just a mess. Although our drink was delicious, it was not worth the wait or the experience. I hope management fixes this or I’ll be sad to see bagel me lose business.

Food: toastiness to perfection, strawberry CC had real strawberries in it!, Lox bagel was delicious, marathon (strawberry banana protein) smoothie was not too sweet and tasted tart like real strawberries and bananas.
Service: friendly staff, smoothie was forgotten and took a while to come out
Ambiance: good music, bright with a lot of big windows, tables need to get wiped down more often
Location/​parking: located on Newport ave right across Kean’s coffee. Parking lot in front of daycare is small so look for parking around the corner.

Tasty bagels, good selection of flavors. Instead of choosing between the everything bagel and cheddar bagel, to my surprise they had the everything cheddar bagel! open seating snd easy access to coffee/​drinks (self serve). Parking was a PAIN. The parking fits maybe 10 – 12 cars and if you drive in and there is no spot you CANNOT make a 3 point U turn to get out… you have to back out onto the main street (technically you could get a ticket for this move)…park across the street near the paint store shopping center and walk over!

This place is so so so SLOW. Give yourself a good 30 minutes if you’re getting a bagel to go.

I’m not a big fan of their breakfast menu, but I like their bagels. Their breakfast menu consists of bagel sandwiches, omelettes w/​a side of bagel, scrambles again with a side of bagel, and oatmeal. I’m not familiar with their lunch menu.
I ordered their egg, jack, avocado, tomato «egg melt» ($ 6.45). It was served open faced. It tasted just like you’d imagine all those things would taste together with no other seasoning of any kind. I think if I added hot sauce I would’ve liked it more
Turkey breast sandwich ($ 7.10): S.O. ordered this and he said it was okay. The food doesn’t really stand out but it’s good enough to go back.
The items are served with a side of «baked apples» which is basically apple sauce. The serving is really small. It comes in a container the size of those to go salsa cups you’d get at Mexican restaurants.
When I come back here I will stick to getting the bagels with cream cheese. You can’t go wrong with the basics

Bagels were good hence the 1 star. Service was slow. So slow. Bagel Me really needs to have soy, almond or lactose free milk options. Not everyone can have regular milk.

More expensive then we thought for bagels but not too bad. The egg sandwich bagels really are simple and don’t have a lot of options so I tried to customize my own which they ended up charging us a bunch for. Next time I’m probably just going to order a normal bagel with cream cheese because the egg sandwich bagel wasn’t really that good either.
Also parking is kinda difficult because they have like 4 spots in their tiny little parking lot so usually it’s better to park on the street.
I guess my boyfriend really didn’t like it. He said the bagels were dry so they ended up putting a ton of cream cheese on it. He was sad because he thought it was supposed to be really good. Our jaws also hurt from chewing! The bagels just seemed like they must of been old too.

This bagel me is definitely not the like the other locations. One word to describe it? Unsanitary. The place looks so dirty and the bagels are self serve. You get your bagel and if you want it toasted you hand it to them and they toast it for you. The cashier used tissue to hold it which I appreciated, but then the lady toasting it used her bare hands! I got cream cheese on it and it had no flavor! The only reason I had to go here is because my kitchen is under construction! I will never return. I had to throw half of it away.

I love this place. Super good prices. Their cinnamon toasted bagel is my favorite. Worth the parking hassle.

My favorite bagel spot for years. I only treat myself to Bagel Me about 2 – 3 times a year, because I avoid eating too much bread. I always ordered the same. Cheese jalapeño bagel with lots of cream cheese and bacon :-). So good and keeps me full all day.

I enjoy coming here and having a bagel and coffee while reading a magazine. The staff is nice. The registers however are never working. Today the weather is rainy and there is a leak taking away one of the booths to sit. The place needs some repairs. I can see behind counter the kitchen area could use some work too. Please help the staff be more efficient by at least fixing the registers.

I came by having the lowest expectation possible after reading the Unilocal reviews. Yet I was pleasantly surprised. I waited a couple minutes to place my order. There was a girl in front of me and she seemed kind of annoyed with how long it took them to take her order.
I came by during 10:30 am on a Friday and got my order within ten minutes. I got the egg, avocado, jack, and tomato bagel. It was huge in my opinion! I ate the bottom half for breakfast and then the top half later for lunch. Tasted very fresh and presentation was very appetizing. My only complaint is that they toasted the bagel too long for my preference so the texture on the edges were dry and crunchy.
The service was pretty fair for me because I didn’t really interact with them much. I did see one customer receive the wrong order but keep it anyway. The worker then looked up the price difference and refunded the customer the price difference. A small but nice gesture.

I really like this place.
I think the food and smoothies are really great. (The sides of bagel chips with apple sauce they give you with every order is delicious!!)
They even offer a great selection of daily bagels for you to chose from if you want to just stop by for a plain bagel and cream cheese too.
BUT I don’t like it because it takes forever for your order to come out. If you’re coming here on your lunch break. make sure you’re taking more than an hour because it takes a long time from the time of order to the time you will receive your food. I also think the food here is a little bit pricey. The parking is very small, but I have never had a problem with it.
TIP: Call in your order ahead of time (about 30 mins prior) and then go there when your food is ready!

This place is nothing like their other locations. Parking is awful and it takes 20 – 25 min to get your food.
Never coming here again.

Horrible parking
Good prices
NO MILK ALTERNATIVES WTF?! They don’t even have non dairy creamer.
I ordered cucumber avo tomato and theres was barely anything on my bagels!

First off, the parking here sucks. Their lot has about 6 spaces and they are probably too small for a Smart car. This is one of the weirdest restaurants I’ve been in in my entire life. There is not a single piece of décor on the walls in the entire place. No pictures, no signs, nothing. There’s also no menu on the wall. They hand you a handheld menu to review while the line of people grows behind you.
Food took forever to come out. No one was ahead of me. How long does it take to cut, toast and dress a bagel!!! $ 8 later I had my bagel sandwich, some stale bagel chips and a strange thing of apple sauce. The bagel was ok, but I bet Vons has fresher, better bagels. I’d recommend skipping this $ 8 bagel place.
