This place has been around for years and it is because their bagels are so yummy! The flavors and combos you can make are insane. I love the sun-dried tomato bagel toasted with cream cheese it remains me of a pizza. The bake goods all also jut as good! Service has been and still is fast and friendly. This place is clean and small. Has some oh door seating for you to enjoy your bagel there if you want to enjoy the California sun! read more

I really wanted to like this place because the bagels are good, but the wait time was excessive and completely unreasonable. It took over 30 minutes just to get a simple bagel order, even though the shop did not appear overwhelmingly busy. Staff seemed disorganized and there was very little communication about delays. Good food only goes so far when customers are left standing around wondering if their order was forgotten. Management needs to improve efficiency and customer flow because the current experience is frustrating and not worth the long wait. read more

One of my best spots in town for a sandwich! This is our usual order, the smoked turkey breast sandwich is my favorite on the menu. The sandwich is sweet and savory, the cranberry sauce is like a cherry on top. Service is quick, staff is always so nice. There's tables outside the restaurant to sit down and eat and it's in the shade so that's definitely a plus :) read more

Really enjoyed coming here when we lived in Watsonville. The bagels are yummy and they have a variety of spreads and sandwich menu options. They don't have inside seating but have a few outdoor tables which my kiddo likes to sit at when we visited. They also have a coffee menu, drip coffee, espresso, sweet blended drinks, smoothies, and a selection of pastries. Eclairs, muffins, cookies, etc. I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday(Sept. 2023), which I ended up canceling the party, and forgot to cancel the cake. But it was okay because we still got to sing her happy birthday, and I sliced the cake and put it in the freezer, and we enjoyed it over the next couple of months. Chocolate with strawberry. The frosting is more like a cool whip, not buttercream or whipped cream, but it's actually really good and I'm kind of picky with cakes. Recommend trying here. The wait time can be a little lengthy sometimes, but they are busy!! And have a small space, and work very hard. read more

Easy business to find. There was a great selection. Very relaxed atmosphere. I won't go back because: the sales person very uninterested in her job, 1/2 order was correct and other half wrong, bagels were very dry and they didn't resemble bagel I have ever eaten. Bagels are extremely popular and are in demand. This business has a great location and needs help with their bagel recipes. Good luck and I wish you much success. read more

Bagels are ok. That's it. don't get anything else!! cake is dry, tarts are over priced, shakes are mediocre and the hash brown was sooo greasy and looked grey in person, i threw it away. read more

Not a bagel looks like one. I asked if they boiled them before baking they said they steamed. No cheese on the sandwich, too much lettuce. I tried the crease cake, low quality. The fruit on top was good though. Threw out half the sandwich and most of the mini cheese cake. Muffins looked good. Won't go back. read more

It was my first time going in today, around 10:35am and I was greeted by a lovely young lady named Ariana. Truly sweet and impecable service she helped me pick out the PERFECT bagel. I'm definitely recommending this place to my friends. The area was tidy and very pleasant. However I don't know how to feel about some of the other workers wearing short lengthen shirts. I don't find it appropriate having your stomach out while you're handling food. read more

Was super disappointed with this place. Today is our first day in town from Oregon and we were craving bagels. The place was packed with people so we figured it would be delicious. Unfortunately not. The bagel wasn't even toasted, it was just cut straight from the display case, lathered in cream cheese and then handed to me. It also has a consistency that tastes more like bread. So imagine cold, un-toasted bread with cream cheese on top. For $4.50... Like at the bare minimum toast it. Took one bite and then threw it out. Very disappointing read more

I haven't been here in such a long time so I was excited to try it again. It's not your typical bagel and that's ok with me I like that it's different plus they always lather it with loads of cream cheese which I'm not gonna complain about. Unfortunately, this time around the bagels were dry and crumbly. I was so disappointed! I'd likely give it another try, this time I won't have it toasted. They've been around for as long as I can remember so it's worth another try. Do they still sell muffins though? read more

I went in today at 2:22pm saturday 11/8 & was helped by a young girl who did not greet me but instead took her time with what she was doing but i was okay waiting. I order my strawberry bagel with honey butter and cream cheese. once i got home i was disappointed bc it was packed with strawberry cream cheese /: I called in to say i got the wrong order made & the young lady cut me off and asked what i ordered? I said strawberry bagel with cream cheese and honey butter and suggested to be more careful when taking orders since people are ordering what they like. She said "you said strawberry cream cheese " and hung up. I'm disappointed bagel cafe i love your food but is this how you handle business? read more

The bagels are bad, they're too dry. The lady doesn't speak any English so she couldn't understand that I wanted it toasted. Not a good experience read more

Bagels are so easy to get around here. If you want some fresh ones then you should probably order from this place. I stopped in right after my gym session. Such a great spot!! I ordered the spinach omelette bagel and it was delicious!! It was hearty and filled me up, they are doing something right here because whenever I go there's always a line out the door. Even though they are known for their bagels, they also make great smoothies. If you haven't tried this place than I suggest that you do. read more

Bro every time I order on the phone it's wrong! They try and talk so fast, and repeat everything in a whole other order you said so it so confusing. Also need to get someone on the phone thats not just trying to hang up and get the order right. read more

The bagels are okay. But anything else definitely do not get! especially the fruit tart. Would much rather take the drive to The Farm in aptos where I know it's good and fresh! read more

Fast service, the bagels are not bagels. They're bagel shaped bread. Wanted to support a local business, won't be returning.

The best service, the bakery it's the best in Watsonville l love it it's been 25 years enjoying with family and friends I

Horrible customer service. We purchased a fruit tart for a work event. The raspberries had mold and the crust tasted days old. We called it in and we were told if we were simply calling in to let them know, I asked for a refund. He kept asking questions no acknowledgment or apology. read more

Horrible customer service our order was given to someone else and when this was addressed, the cashier/clerk was super rude and threatened to call the cops on our 2 teens that offered to pickup (with the receipt), instead of apologizing for her mistake or offering a solution. The order was paid in advance, so clearly this could have been avoided by simply asking for a receipt at the time of pickup. The only person who was helpful was the woman working in the back. The girl in the front needs to change jobs if common courtesy is too difficult for her. read more

I placed my order at 8:50am and said it would be ready at 9:20, got there at 9:30. Order was not ready and I was lied to, they kept telling me it was ready while I saw the lady give the worker my ticket to work on. I waited until 9:45am and my bagels tasted like they were nit toasted. The service was unpleasant too. read more

Bagel quality has really gone down hill. They are more like bread than a bagel consistency. Service was great. Ladies are very polite and fast. Might want to clean the ceiling. Very filthy for a food establishment. Gross, really. Probably and OSHA violation there. I used to love this place, but the bagels are a 4 out 10. Also, in the summer, get some airflow for those Ladies! It is like a sauna in there!! read more

Good food, lots of choices and fresh. Good service. Good smoothies, lots Of choices. Pricing is decent for the quality. Will be back! read more

Every Donut shop or Bagel shop I ever see I make sure to Go try out the restaurants Bacon Egg and Cheese bagel sandwich. I have never had a Bagel sandwich as horrible as this place. There was no density in the bagel i chose it was airy and fluffed and tasted old and they bacon was the lowest quality bacon I've ever seen and was very very under cooked. The coffee was by far the worse coffee I've ever had in my life !!! This meal cost me $17!!!! I threw it out the window it was that horrible ! I never knew you can mess up a bagel sandwich like this !!! There's a donut shop eighth across !! go there !! read more

I love Bagel Cafe! This place has been there for me so many times like early mornings catching a flight or when all I want is a slice of Tres Leches. Plus, they make the best mocha chai EVER. I also love their chocolate raspberry smoothie. All the women who work up front are so kind, efficient, and professional . read more

We were in town for the weekend because of a wedding and stayed at the Motel 6. This is convenient to there. We had the breakfast bagels--a spinach omelet and a Mediterranean omelet on whole wheat. We usually have rye and pumpernickel bagels, but no such luck here. Still the food was good and generous. We also ordered two smoothies: Blueberry and mango. I liked that the smoothie wasn't too sweet so you can fully appreciate the fruit. It's a pleasant place for take out. read more

Horrible service. Waited for nearly 20 minutes for my order. I had to ask the staff how much longer for my order and none of the girls working could find my order. Plus they were rude when I asked why it was thinking so long. First and last time i will spot at this location. read more

Came here to get bagels and they were nice and fresh. I liked the fluffyness of the bagels. The only problem I had that it took a long time to get through the line. It took over 20 minutes just to get 2 bagels. There's no seating as well, so I went to a local park to enjoy my bagels. read more

Wanted to like this place but the first time i came they gave me the wrong order. The second time i waited and waited and when people after me got their orders I asked where mine was..some how the prep didn't get my ticket. Instead of making mine, they made three more orders that came after mine. Mine was a simple bagel with creamcheese. Lame! read more

Spent over $35 & didn't finish our food. Expensive, thrown together, & definitely not fresh. I went back inside to see if I could get a side of cream cheese to finish my sandwich because the scrambled egg was hard. They wanted to charge me $3 I watched the gal making the sandwiches & they microwave their eggs in a plastic container. Can't charge people $8 for a bagel sandwich that's inedible Really dissatisfied with this spot because it looked like it had so much potential read more

Best bagels And fruit tarts in town. Always fresh and the lines show it. Highly recommend the strawberry and blueberry bagels.

We've been coming here for three years now. Always good food and great service. We get mochas, bacon egg and cheese croissants, and a bagel. The servers are always really helpful. They open super early so you can get a good start on the day. read more

Usually, I love these bagels today. They were not so good. I haven't been there in a while. Also, their chorizo breakfast sandwich definitely isn't what it looks like in the picture. They don't even scramble the egg with it. read more

If I could leave no stars I would! On 2 separate occasions Sunday July 7th around 8:40 am & Wednesday July 17th at 10:50 am the employees have been extremely RUDE and unhelpful on both occasions! I used to love coming here as a child because their bagels are truly fantastic, but the service here has gone WAYYY downhill since I've seen this older women work the register. Both occasions I've ordered online because what I thought was going to be convenience turns into the biggest inconvenience. I ordered online the first time giving them 30 mins before I went to go pick up, I was on a time crunch from work so you would think 30 mins would be enough time, I arrive and they barley get started on my order, the lady who was at the registered left me to go talk for 5 mins, comes back, rolls her eyes at me and says next!! which I end up waiting another 20 mins before I finally even get my online order. - fine. I get it, people can be understaffed, it sucked but I moved on The second time really takes the cake, I ordered at 10:29. Arrive at 10:35 and let them know in the line for PHONE ORDERS. And the same lady tells me to get back in line!! When I FINALLY get helped in line at 11, I let her know I had an online order, same thing, LEAVES is looking for my order which is RIGHT NEXT TO HET ON THE GLASS. Prints out my order again and it's BARLEY GETTING WORKED ON. So I ask her why is it so inconvenient ordering online if I'm going to have to stay in line to basically reorder?! I wait another 20 mins to finally get my order, but 5 minutes before that a lady named Celeste came in for her online order and got in the phone line and was ABLE TO GET HER ORDER. I confront another lady there why I wasn't able to my order in the phone order line and she said it's because she didn't understand what I was asking?!? I literally said I had an online order I don't understand where the confusion was?? She proceeds to laugh and roll her eyes and I'm just so over the service at bagel cafe. Once I got to my hair appointment I started talking about my experience at bagel cafe and EVERYONE mentioned how BAD their service has gotten!! Used to love going here, but now will never be returning On top of all that, I made the mistake of not checking my order before i left and they forgot one of my bagels :((( now I'm out a bagel and I heavily regret adding a tip before I paid, I wish there was an option to remove that AFTER because of how horrible this place is read more
