I recently had an amazing breakfast sandwich at Bagels & Brew! I opted for the jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was outstanding - the perfect blend of savory cheese and spicy pepper. The sandwich itself was delicious, but the bagel really made it special. Overall, I was really impressed with the quality of the ingredients and the flavors in my meal. Bagels & Brew definitely knows how to make a great breakfast sandwich! I would highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the area. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also really nice and welcoming. It was a great place to start my day and get some delicious food. I will definitely be coming back to Bagels & Brew in the future!
Came here with a friend for lunch. Liked the local Cafe vibe. Wanted a cheeseburger (I know, it's a BAGEL place). To my surprise learned they offer Angus Burgers. Opted for brioche bun, cheddar cheese. Chose a garden salad for the side. Burger was Amazing. As for the garden salad, loved the thinly sliced red onions and carrots on the bed of lettuce. Honey mustard dressing on the side. We sat outside on the patio. Great food, great service, highly recommend.
Chloe was very welcoming, smiling we’ve got a cup of coffee that the lid wouldn’t close, I was struggling trying closing it over and over 4 times then Chloe helped me get another cup. Thank you Chloe !!
Here is my favorite place to have Brunch! Fantastic bagels! Very fast service with super nice staff. “Mission Viejo” and “ Sliced Nova Scotia Salmon” bagels are served open-face and are very tasty and delicious (make sure you ask you toast them!). Make sure to have Jalapeño bagels with Swiss cheese! There are many options for smoothies and Açaí Bowls. Also, there are many good quality hot and cold brews; an iced mocha with almond milk is highly recommended! The outdoor sitting is very comfy and you will enjoy your awesome brunch in the fresh air! They have another branch in Lake forest but this one is the best! We love everything about this place. Highly recommended!
Great local place! The portions are pretty big, sandwiches are really delicious and service is really cool, will be back.
Grab your favorite bagel from the varieties they have, the cranberries bagel was so tasty and fresh, made from scratch as you can see in the picture, scrambled eggs with buttered toast tasted nice and fresh, the eggs tasted like real eggs not like most restaurants, cookies and cream frappe was so good, highly recommended to try it
Local favorite place for great breakfast and coffee. Always a great spot to meet friends and family there. Bagels are great and very creative menu items prepared with bagels. Staff is friendly and service is good.
I have been eating here for years with no complaints. The menu is surprisingly diverse for such a small kitchen. The dining area is a warm and welcoming environment for neighborhood regulars and strangers alike. The eggs are flavorful and yellow, not grey, like at other quick breakfast places. Staff is friendly. Not much more I could ask for.
This place is busy on the weekend! For good reason as the bagel breakfast sandwiches and coffee are excellent. Dining in on the patio can be a little chaotic and I noticed a lot of people got their breakfast food to go, but it’s because it’s so good. Got French toast, eggs, bagels a breakfast sandwich and a hot coffee which all were hot and tasty.
This is our “goto” breakfast place for our family of 4, plus pup. My kids love getting their bagels, hash browns, sausage, and fresh OJ. I love their sandwiches. I’ve never had anything I dislike, and we’ve been coming here for a couple years now. We moved from Michigan and were struggling to find our weekend breakfast spot. This is it! Great patio for bringing our pup. Keep up the good work!
