This place is a standout. I had the best breakfast sandwich: egg, bacon, cheese on a jalapeño cheese bagel The bagel was chewy and perfectly made, and I also had a Paradise Palmer iced drink *recommend* Finally a delicious bite at a fair price without a long wait time, which is so rare these days. This is our new favorite breakfast spot! Also, the folks working here were kind and gracious, just positive vibes all around and the building has the beautiful exposed stone walls reminiscent of Sonora 1800 builds; gorgeous! read more

Friendly service. Enough space to sit and eat but it's not overly packed either. There is no public bathroom. It was 11:20 and they were out of most of their bagels. Just a heads up. The bagels are pretty basic. If you are a bagel aficionado, don't expect to be wow'd here. That being said. It'll fill you without questioning your life's decisions. read more

This was a DoorDash order so I can't speak on the actual shop, or the vibe, or service of it, but I can certainly go over some of the things I got! I got the Marshmallow Frappe, the chicken salad bagel sandwich with a garlic bagel, and the cheese bagel with pesto cream cheese. The cheesy bagel with pesto cream cheese was delish!!! Very cheesy with the pesto which I totally loved! Now the chicken salad sandwich bagel? It was a bit of a shortage on the actual chicken in the chicken salad, as well as chicken salad in the bagel sigh!! But what was there was delicious. Just wish they had added more. And the Frappe it was more just icey with sugar/cream I couldn't really taste the coffee and was kind of left with shaved ice at the end of the cup it wasn't the best of frappes I have had in my past, there were some yummy looking other coffees and iced coffees, I think I will try that next time! Will I eat Bagel Bin again yes! I think I will just switch around my choices a little bit next time because their other food on the menu does look delicious:) read more

We assumed they would have good bagels, since that is the building block of a bagel shop and I have to admit we have never had what I would call a bad bagel. All our bagels (Everything with smear, garlic with Lox and Sundried Tomato Mediterranean) were so dry we could not finish them. We would have talked directly to them but had left town before we tried them. Nice place, good service but the rest... read more

I have never been treated so badly by a business. I asked for a little more syrup in my white mocha and the owner told me she had to remake the drink. Then she took a drink out of mine and said it tasted so sweet and made me feel crazy. I don't know if she was trying to give it back to me after she drank out of it or what? I will never be going back! Bagels are not toasted either read more

Seeing other reviews honestly reassures me that my experience wasn't an isolated one. I used to come to Bagel Bin all the time in high school when Sarge owned it, and it's sad to see how far this place has fallen under the new ownership. From the moment my sister and I arrived, the attitude was noticeable. The business hours said open until 2:30, yet the door was locked at 1:00. The owner eventually unlocked it, clearly annoyed, and continued loudly rearranging a nearly empty rack while we waited. When I tried to order six plain pizza bagels, the poor younger employee looked terrified and said she wasn't sure she was "allowed" to sell that many. She asked the older owner, who immediately snapped that she *couldn't* sell me six--first saying I could get six *different* bagels, then saying I could only have **one**, then telling us to "come back tomorrow" even after we explained we were heading out of town. It was frustrating, inconsistent, and honestly unprofessional. To make it worse, the younger girl insisted it "wasn't about the money" yet still charged me for a sandwich bagel for something plain, and in the end I was somehow able to buy additional pizza bagels anyway. The entire interaction was uncomfortable, passive-aggressive, and messy. As we were leaving, I tried to be polite and wished them a good day, mentioning I hoped they sold out. The owner responded with a smug "oh, I know we will," despite the case being nearly empty to begin with. For the day after Thanksgiving, the owner seemed anything but thankful. This shop used to be a town staple with real charm, but that warmth is gone. Poor attitude, poor service, and poor management show through every part of the experience. I won't be returning. read more

Bagel Bin - My two bagels I fought like hell for - Bagels Near Me - Sonora, California

The only place opened for a quick coffee pick up before 8am on a Sunday. I chose an "onion cheese bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese" only to get a bagel w herb cream cheese stacked high with fresh red onion, cucumbers, tomato slices, and lettuce. Haha, I laugh at my own mistake. They don't have veggie cream cheese, so be careful how you rattle off your order. Bagel was fresh and chewy! Is it supposed to be chewy? I don't know the standards of a bagel but it was delicious! They sell "bag of day old bagels" for $2, but none left when I was there. read more

Bagel Bin - "Onion cheese bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese" with a bite taken - Bagels Near Me - Sonora, California

Such a great spot with affordable bagels and the absolute best hot chocolate hands down. Love that they open early enough that you can grab breakfast before going on a trip to Yosemite or a ski day. Cream cheese is often heaped on to the point that it's dripping out of the bagel, so would recommend asking for light spread unless that's your thing. Customer service can be a hit or miss. read more

Traveling around the country with my wife, we had to stop here for some bagels. My wife knows her bagels and said these are absolutely delicious. Such an incredible selection of bagel sandwichs, coffee drinks, and even the decor is pretty cool. Personally, I really appreciated that this Bagel Bin was being run by three young ladies (that's how many I noticed), and all were working so hard to keep up with the orders. Can't hold back ... They were all so pretty, too. Need a healthy sandwich for breakfast or lunch? Do the Bagel Bin. Prices are reasonable, selection is great, and you'll enjoy the ambiance - young ladies included. read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews for small businesses, but after yesterday's experience I feel it's necessary to share what happened. We arrived well before closing, but the doors were locked even though there were bagels on the shelves and employees behind the counter. The owner came to the door and told us they were closed, then said they would reopen for the festival and to come back in 20 minutes / tomorrow. After a brief interaction, stating we were headed out of town, she allowed us to come in and wait inside. A few minutes later, her employee told us we could order. We attempted to purchase six pizza bagels (three for each of two households). The employee appeared nervous and said she wasn't sure whether six bagels were allowed. The owner's response kept changing--first saying she couldn't sell six, then saying she could if it was an assortment, and then changing again and telling us we could only order one and that it had to be a sandwich. Ultimately, we weren't able to place the order we wanted. It came to point we were willing to pay for the "sandwich" and to leave out the spread. What made this especially disappointing was the owner's rude and dismissive attitude throughout the interaction. If the business was expecting festival traffic, it would make sense to be better prepared and communicate ordering limits clearly and consistently. I genuinely wanted to support this shop, but the experience made that difficult. I hope this is taken as feedback and that future customers are treated with more respect. read more

The young lady who waited on me was friendly. The egg and cheese jalapeño bagel was hot and soft with just enough chew to make it great. It was a good experience! read more

The food here is amazing, and thats no joke! My son is a picky eater and he even loves this place! Plus the staff is quick and friendly. Just a local business, that takes pride in our town. They have artwork, and pictures, with cozy decor. They maybe busy when you come in, but thats because its so dang good. read more

This is place is my mom and I go to have tea and a bagel. It's peaceful the people who work there are so pleasant and kind. And the prices are very good. I would recommend to any one. read more

The new owners are awful. It's a bagel shop that will literally charge you .50 cents to put cream cheese on your separately paid for bagel. Then they skimp on it! There is the tiniest amount of cream cheese. They're just money hungry. This place has gone so far down hill. How do I get a dry ass pizza bagel after you charged me EXTRA to put cream cheese on it!? Cream cheese NOT included is already insane work for a BAGEL SHOP but then to charge extra and give nothing??? Not good business by any means. Sad they're so money focused they're loosing long time customers. read more

I dropped in here this morning with my son and had the jalapeño pizza bagel warmed with plain cream cheese. He had the jalapeño cheese bagel warmed with plain cream cheese. Hands down, unequivocally, unmatched, the best bagel I've ever had in my entire life. I don't normally write reviews, but this was a bagel game changer! Great job guys! I'll definitely 100% be coming back! Epic! read more

Bagel Bin is the best place for an affordable, convenient breakfast or lunch. The owner is super friendly and personable, and the bagels are delicious. I've tried a variety of bagels, and my favorites include the blueberry, everything, or their bakers special- a cinnamon bagel. They always make sure to put a great amount of cream cheese, and the bagels are cooked perfectly-not overdone like some bagel places. The downtown location makes it an easy spot to get food on the way to church or school, or if you're just passing through town. In addition to their delicious bagels, they have a variety of coffee and teas, bottled drinks, and fresh fruit. If you're in Sonora and looking for a quick bite, I definitely recommend bagel bin. read more

SO CUTE. Fantastic second location. I love this place so much. Try their bagel sandwiches, especially as a perfect breakfast on the go. They are open nice and early, too, with delicious fresh bagels ready to go. Get there early to get the full selection, they can sell out of some flavors quick. Super nice owners, too! The Bagel Bin is a must try in Sonora. read more

This is a good place to get bagels. I always get the avocado bagel on pesto bagel and bacon, but I do say that their bagels are kind of hard. I don't know if they use old ones or not but anyways it still has a good taste as long as you can get past the crunchy hardness of the bagel you'll be fine, thanks bagel bin!! read more

Stopped in on the way out of Sonora after a weekend trip. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality bagels at a low cost! Service was wonderful as well. read more

I visited Bagel Bin yesterday and had a very disappointing experience. The cashier took my payment and then touched our bagels without washing her hands. When I inquired, she admitted she did not wash her hands. I expressed my concern, mentioning it was unsanitary (ie disgusting), but I was initially willing to keep the food because my son insisted on his pizza bagel. However, the situation escalated when another attendant became belligerent. Instead of offering to remake the bagels and apologize, she nearly threw my money back at me, threatened to call the police, and told me I was embarrassing myself in front of my kids for saying it's disgusting to TOUCH our food with UNWASHED HANDS! If they are willing to bypass such a simple and standard hygiene rule, I'm concerned about what other important regulations they might be ignoring. Edit to add: the gal that "helped" me found it appropriate to respond to this review. Again, with no apology. At this point this is considered harassment, right? read more

They refuse to sell to you unless you pre-order the day before. We tried to order 5 bagels and were told no, we need to pre-order. My daughter (14) even tried to get 4 bagels instead and was told no again, so she left. This is NOT a new issue. Looks like this business does not want walk-in customers. Such a shame! After 20 years of loyalty, the new owners managed to burn that in a couple of months of ownership. I've never been turned away for want to buy too much product. I also didn't realize that 5 bagels was a lot. read more

Nice spot in downtown Sonora for a bagel. Many different varieties to choose from. The bagels are a little doughy for my liking but we're still tasty. Veggie sandwich was tasty. read more

Bagel Bin - a restaurant with tables and chairs - Bagels Near Me - Sonora, California

Okay. I was initially happy to have a bagel place right next door to where we we staying in Sonora...! However, when we entered the establishment first thing in the morning (for us 8am) we took a look at the bagel selection and we're immediately unenthusiastic about the prospect of the bagels. Imagine your favorite bagel. Now imagine most bagel places that cover said bagel in copious amounts of toppings. Now imagine what we saw: {maybe} a quarter to (on the high end) a third of the toppings you'd expect to see on a bagel just about anywhere else....! Disappointing. But... we were hungry so... we ordered a couple of toasted bagels with different cream cheese flavors. Probably the driest "fresh bagel" I have ever encountered. (Maybe a "day old"...?) anyway, I would not recommend this place unless under extremis and super-starving-gotta-have-food-or-Imma-gonna-die...! read more

hello, we went to the bagel bin this morning, looks like the owner had some new employees working (based on the last time we were there)-owner took the order,gave it to the employee- thats when things went south- my egg and ham sandwich with cream cheese had so much cream cheese that the egg and ham slid off the bagel-the egg was so burnt the entire sandwich was not edible. went straight into the trash. request that the owner cook the food-you will be satisfied-she should fire the employee-the owner does a good job. employees-not so good-fire them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The bagels here are outstanding!! Great flavors, lots of variety -- super yummy. The one star is because I went to the shop at 8:36 a.m. today to buy bagels for my staff. I told the owner I want a dozen and he said 'I can't do it." ?????????? I asked what if I had brought my staff in -- would he have sold them to me? The owner said he's running low ... in a bagel shop ... where all they sell are bagels. I asked if they were making more since they have a lunch menu. "No, this is it." There were about a dozen yummy savory bagels in the case, and a pile of crumbly crappy looking blueberry bagels that clearly nobody was buying. The owner told me if I want a dozen I have to order them a day in advance. RIDICULOUS!! When I got back to work I was told by colleagues that there is a three bagel per person max. I will never go there again, no matter how good the bagels are. read more

The bagels are sooo soft and yummy! The freezes are delicious too my favorite one is the cherry one!

The bagel bin is an amazing place. The customer service was tops tier, and the bagel selection was great. I got the pizza bagel and it was delicious. For my sisters birthday I ordered 20 pizza bagels ahead and it was perfect. I would highly recommend. read more

While on a girls trip to Yosemite, five of my girlfriends and I decided to stop off here on a Sunday morning for a caffeine fix to wake us up and get ready for a fun day hiking at Calaveras big trees. I loved their comfy upholstered seating and cute decor! Felt very welcome here and would definitely come back. Everyone loved their drinks and mine was especially delicious. I wasn't sure what to get, but I asked the barista for a recommendation. I always trust the barista's and was so glad I got the hot caramel latte, and it was the perfect taste and temperature! Sarge, made a great drink! read more

Bagel Bin - Ceiling mural - Bagels Near Me - Sonora, California

First off, I would like to state this place has always been a favorite of mine. The food is great, the prices are great, I went there all the time while in high-school until recently. The new owner is VERY rude and inconsiderate of her costumers feelings. We ordered, we payed, but when we received our food one of our bagels were burnt pretty bad. We went up and asked politely if they could make us a new one, and the owner immediately became defensive and invalidated our feelings. Saying it was not burnt, and that the other bagels were burnt too because "we consider this one burnt." The other bagels were not burnt, and it was very rude of her to say so. She didn't offer to make us a new one, she told us to just eat it. Because the encounter was so out of the blue and not normal costumer service, my friend just picked the burnt bagel apart to get rid of the burned parts. She ate it and was very unsatisfied. We left before we even finished because we felt super unwelcome. As we left she said "see it's not even burnt." We replied "yes it was," she didn't even apologize and gave us attitude once again. Loved the previous owner and this business but if she keeps up the attitude she's going to lose costumers. Just be aware! read more

High key only leaving a four star review so the odds of people reading it go up. If you can get as many "tHe pErSoN bEhiNd tHe cOuNtEr nEeDs tO sMiLe mOrE" -esque reviews and still be in business ITS BECAUSE THE PRODUCT IS GOOD. They're just bagels, not a Michelin restaurant. That being said if they gave Michelin stars to bagels I would put my hat in for this place. The only smile you should care about is yours covered in cream cheese. read more

The young lady who attended us was very helpful and suggestive on what I could add or take off certain food items as well as what pairs well together. I was very satisfied with my purchase I had the cheese bagel with bacon egg and cheese then I added cream cheese so it was a lot of layers but it only cost us 18$-20$ or so for 2 bagels and 2 iced macchiatos. The overall feeling in the restaurant was very calm, they have a little front area where you can eat your bagel and people watch so loved that since in Sonora there's always tourists and things to see. I will say, the cobwebs in the front window were a bit.. off putting but hopefully they'll fix that soon. read more

the last three times we went here they we're out of bagels and/or lox. It was about 10:00 a.m. This morning we got there about 8:00 and when my husband and I opened the bag at home the bagels we're horribly put together. two strips of onion, one tomato about two inches in size and hardly any lox. Was so disappointing. So I hope the ower reads these reviews and tell his employees again how to make a bagel and lox. We will go back one more time in case it was a new employee and give them another chance but if they are out of bagels or make them like this morning we will go somewhere else. I hope they fix this, they can be so good read more

Lady greets us and tells us to order whatever because she has more coming out from the back. We get ready to order two of each that we see left in the trays.. and then notice there's an offer on the menu u for half dozen/dozen. She then says that she can't sell us a dozen and can only give us ten bagels of her choice. What happened to you telling us to order whatever because you have more coming from the back.. we must have been wearing the wrong shoes or clothes. Horrible customer service. We went to the coffee shop across the way Servente's and it was amazing! The breakfast sandwich and the vanilla latte there was sooooooo good. Thank you for turning us away!! read more

Called in around nine to order two bagels plus a half dozen. Lady on the phone said that they were sold out of dozen and half dozen, which was no big deal. when we came in to grab our order we asked if we could just add two more bagels onto our order and the lady said no because they didn't make enough and had to stretch the bagels all the way to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, not sure how not enough bagels is our problem but it would have been nice to just add two more bagels. On top of that she also got my order wrong! terrible customer service , lady didn't even try to accommodate us in anyway. service has gone way downhill since Sarge sold. highly dissatisfied. read more

Good bagels. Good coffee. Good prices So why two stars? Because there is NOTHING more annoying than an eatery that has tables and chairs but no bathroom. To me that always feels like a giant F.U. to the customers. If you can afford to install everything it takes to run an eat in establishment, you should be able to afford to put in a bathroom! read more
