Club Sandwich on Garlic Bagel
Mariela H.

I've had this place once and I literally can't stop thinking about going back. I was in the area and was persuaded by the five stars, and it did not disappoint. They have a wide selection of bagel sandwich options and bagels to choose from. All of them are made right in front of you and the staff is super kind. Additionally, the sandwiches are well- served and super filling. I got a club on a garlic bagel and it was a 10/10. The garlic bagel isn't overwhelming and adds the perfect touch to the sandwich. It's a small place with a couple of tables and chair for seating. I'd say it's definitely more of a grab and go place, perfect for breakfast or lunch!!

Turkey sandwich

Pretty delish! Stopped by to pick up a quick bite and it was a pretty solid turkey sandwich. Would come back to try another bite with cream cheese next time! Also, very nice people who work there.

Perfectly balanced.

My 4th time here. The bánh mì was perfection again--buttery baguette - crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, fresh crisp veggies, and just the right kick. THE BEST BAHN MI in the East bay hands down. Paired it with an iced Vietnamese coffee that was bold, sweet, and dangerously addictive. Service is top notch and just as lovely as the food is delicious. I cannot recommend this spot enough. Skip Starbucks. Skip Jersey Mikes. Support this wonderful small-business instead.

Croissant breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and pepper Jack cheese

What a pleasant surprise! We've been passing by this place for some time and during our morning walk we decided to finally try this place and so glad we did! The space is so clean and well equipped. The staff were so kind and welcoming and provided us their favorite recommendations based on our interests. We ended up getting a breakfast croissant sandwich and a pork chop banh mi with an iced Vietnamese coffee. Everything was delicious! I'm so glad all of my favorites are in one place and this will definitely be a staple of ours.

The best bagel shop in the entire Tri-Valley. The best service, the best ingredients, and the best flavors. I honestly feel like I could live to 100 if I get to eat your food every day. Starting my morning with your delicious croissant sausage egg sandwich makes "working hard for a better life" feel so real and achievable. Every time I walk in and hear "Welcome back! What can I get started for you? No rush, take your time," those simple, caring little phrases fill my whole day with kindness and good energy. Thank you for being such a wonderful presence in our community.

Oops pork banh mi, half way point!

- parking in plaza plenty - such a friendly smile every time - prices reasonable - food always tasty - croissant sandwich nice and flaky - pork banh mi: with mayo, bread has the perfect crunch and I would get this again and again

Wow, so this is long overdue but Bagel Cafe has some of the BEST bagels I have ever had! I am a bagel freak and always on the hunt for a good one and this is definitely at the top of my list right now. My sister and I stopped by on our way to the bay during Memorial Day weekend and I am so glad she found Bagel Cafe. It's located off Main St in a plaza that is easy to miss if you're not from the area. We had to loop back but there's plenty of parking which I'm always a fan of. The inside of the cafe is clean and spacious. There are many options on the menu to pick from but I always stick to my go to unless I'm really in the mood to try something new. The service was wonderful, the owner was there and it's definitely true what they say - she always has a smile on her face! Our bagels were brought out rather quickly and after we tried our first bites, my sister and I were so content and happy. I say this often but I will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

By the time I remembered to take a photo, I was almost done with my sandwich. This is the turkey croissant sandwich.

It's always a pleasure to support and dine at Bagel Cafe. The ladies that work here are always so friendly and hospitable. The sandwiches are HUGE, so my Nana and I shared it. We ordered a turkey sandwich with all the fixins' on a croissant. The turkey and proteins are so fresh. The croissant is so light and just perfect. I think it is baked fresh daily. We enjoyed our turkey sandwich. Also available is a big assortment of bottled sodas, juices and teas. This place is frequented by locals and the ladies always remember their regulars by name. I will definitely return. I love the food, freshness and hospitality.

Lox and Salami bagel
Eunice N.

My sister's favorite bagel spot! She's become quite a regular and I tag along with her a few times :) I've really enjoyed each experience going to this bagel cafe. I typically get the salami sandwich on an everything bagel - they definitely give you the most in these bagels!! They make sure to stack it so you're really getting your fill. I think the bagel is soft on the inside and a little crispy on the outside which is perfect. All of the ingredients flow really well together, as the ratio is great, and I love eating these bagels every time. The customer service is absolutely so wonderful and sweet! So friendly every time we go, and they are just so fun to talk to! I always feel welcomed right when I put my first step through the door. They have a few seats and the interior is comfortable. Parking is not an issue as well, since they have a lot. Definitely will be coming back! Excited to try even more bagels :)

Garlic bagel with chipotle cream cheese!
Blu M.

Bagel Cafe is an Isla Vista classic that never disappoints! I have been. couple times and am surprised that I have yet to leave a review! I try something different each time I go, but I would have to say one of my go-to orders is a toasted garlic bagel with chipotle smear! SO GOOD! Service is super quick and the people working are always so helpful. The Emma and a classic BLT of pesto bagel always hit the spot too. A chill, laid back spot to hit the get your day started or for an afternoon pick me up!

The menu has something for everyone.

I have been coming into this amazing shop every day for the last two weeks sometimes TWICE A DAY! Everything is so fresh and full of flavor not to mention filling. I am so spoiled to come into this shop to be greeted by the sisters who say my name with the biggest smiles on their faces. I love all the freshly baked sweet treats, especially the cherry sticks and the beautifully baked banana walnut muffins. My family is big fans of their special sandwiches and teas.

When I first walked in, the menu felt a bit intimidating. There is a wide variety of sandwich, soups, and even flatbreads to choose from. However, I was immediately greeted with a smile and hello from the staff right as I walked in. There was one worker in particular, I believe his name was Calvin was SUPER helpful and informative. He gave me the run down on his favorite items and gave me a recommendation truly tailored to my preferences. I had the crispy crunchy chicken sandwich and it was a 10/10. The chicken isn't what I normally go for when i'm at a sandwich shop by Calvin vouched for it and it was delicious! I could tell the ingredients were fresh and Calvin was even kind enough to share with me how their lettuce hasn't been impacted by the recent parasite outbreak! All in all this was a very lovely visit and I will definitely be back! Pro tip: Next time you're in the store, ask for Calvin to make your sandwich!

It's $15 for an 8" sandwich, and $0.95 for Pickles or Olives. We were expecting Italian hard Salami, not the case. It was some other salami. More salami than turkey. Weighed to perfection, she picked off little pieces of turkey, put it back in the bin, till it was exactly right. I didn't want a sandwich full of little pieces of turkey. It slid apart in my hands. *** The bread was fresh and tasty. It was the Pastrami sandwich that wasn't good. It looked like sliced turkey bacon not pastrami . No mustard. Instead some weird spread that did not work. * Pastrami and Salami are basic deli meats. If you can't get them right... I'm not coming back.
