We got the spicy chicken, pebal beach, and protein veggie begals. All were good in taste and portions. The service was friendly and helpful. The place was nice and the bathroom was clean. I would definitely go back if I lived nearby. read more

This place was so good that we had two breakfasts here while on vacation! The price is also just right. Their bagels are easy to take to go, or if you would like to eat in the ambience is made just for it. I wish I could have Bagel Kitchen everyday. Their Vietnamese coffee (with oat milk substitute) was also really tasty. If you like sweet, then this is the drink for you! I don't remember every name of every sandwich, but they were all fantastic! Pick one that looks good to you, and it won't disappoint! Food: 6/5 Ambience: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Parking: enough in parking lot Wait: none read more

Such a delicious bagel! The space is wonderful don't be discouraged by the line it moves pretty quickly. When you enter you get one person who is assigned to making your food and ringing you up. Staff is friendly and the selection of breakfast bagels and lunch bagels is wonderful. The egg is actually friend and not made in a microwave which most places do. Will be returning to try the rest of their menu read more

Delicious! Love this place for their breakfast bagels and burritos. Highly recommend trying this place if you're in the area. My husbands favorites (not pictured) are the Big Sur breakfast bagel, add bacon and the lumberjack on jalapeño cheddar bagel. read more

Bagel Kitchen - Bacon breakfast burrito. - Bagels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

The hubby and I stayed in Pacific Grove and were craving a bagel. Luckily, the commute anywhere in this town means a quick trip and means I get my bagel a lot faster. The selection of bagels to choose from is vast and their menu is broad, which allows the pickiest of eaters to find something to choose from. My husband and I shared the egg, bacon and cheddar on an onion bagel. We also shared a salt bagel with scallion cream cheese. Both were tasty and wrapped nicely. It was very busy, so expect to wait. The eggs are cooked to order, so expect a fresh sandwich which means be patient. The woman who took our order as made our sandwich was very helpful, friendly and clean. Downside is no napkins were available on the counter or provided. There's a sign outside that clearly states no more than 7 at a time due to covid but there were 15+ crammed in. Please follow the rules. They're there for everyone's safety and should be enforced them as well. read more

When I travel, I love to eat nice food, especially breakfast. So I visited this place in Monterey. We reached early, around 9 30- 10 am. The place wasn't crowded, had lots of seating place. Two point of sale counters and friendly staff. It was a nice morning with temperature in fifties. I ordered a heart attack and big sur. It costed around 8 dollars each, which I found at least 15% steeper. Now food- 1. Fresh buns and cheese was good. 2. I found the sandwich a little bland (both) but it could just be my Palatte. 3. Potato side wasn't tasty at all, can do better on this. Overall, I'll give 3 stars based on ambience, pricing, wait time, and taste. read more

This was honestly sooooo good. I wanted to go back for another one, and I've been craving one ever since. I am not from the area, but I would definitely go back just to get this. The service was also pretty fast considering it was busy and everyone was friendly. If this sandwich isn't your vibe, they have so many other different options! read more

Bagel Kitchen - chorizo breakfast bagel - Bagels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

I bit into a rock in my food from this place. I have no idea how it could have gotten into it or what else it could be. If that isn't a rock, it sure is as hard as one because it felt like I broke my tooth. While I was there, someone returned with food they said was made incorrectly. The employee took the half eaten food and placed it on the food prep area. Not sanitary at all to do that. Im not coming back again. To the owners claiming they saw me pick up a rock... why the heck would I make this up? Like you said, I didn't contact you. So I wasn't looking for a refund or money. What date was this that they claimed they saw me? What color is my hair? The customers inside when I was there stayed inside when I left and so did the employees... so who saw me walk two businesses away? I also never said it was a bagel.... Which it wasn't. All I said in the initial review was "food". I felt bad leaving the initial review, but felt like people should be warned cause I seriously could have cracked a tooth. I don't feel bad at this point, you guys are sketchy. Like what a strange claim to make and it's disheartening to see a business lie. read more

Bagel Kitchen was such a find while staying in Monterey for the weekend. Unlike most bagel joints which tend to look a little bit more run down, Bagel Kitchen has a trendy, modern farmhouse vibe to it and great ambience. These bagels in all honesty, might have been one of the best bagel sandwich shops I've been to, and I love bagel sandwiches. Their menu has quite a bit of variety from your more classic sandwiches (smoked salmon, ham, bacon, etc.) to specialty ones with chorizo or sausage. We ordered the aloha sunshine (comes with pineapple sausage.. very sweet and yummy), chorizo (has a kick!), the pebble, and Big Sur. None of these bagels disappointed. Try them all! We had also ordered some burritos for lunch on the road, and holy cow were these burritos MASSIVE. And for only $9.50!! The portion of these burritos is enough that we could have ate half for breakfast and half for lunch. God knows how many eggs they put in these because there was so much filling! Service was pretty quick given we went on a busy Saturday morning. Waited no more than 10 minutes for our sandwiches. Highly highly recommend this place. read more

This bagel shop is one of the best I've been to. The bagels are fresh and have a really good flavor and texture. We got their chorizo bagel and aloha bagel, which were both amazing. I like the variety they offer in both their breakfast and lunch bagels. We also saw they offered breakfast burritos. While we didn't get a breakfast burrito this time, we noticed a few people who did and they were huge! The service was friendly and fast. We didn't wait long for our order to be ready at all. One tip I would recommend to any who plan on visiting would be to go earlier if you want more variety in bagels as we had gone and there were only 4 types of bagels left to choose from. The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because their tables were all dirty and covered with crumbs. I have worked in food service and restaurants before, it doesn't take too long to wipe down tables and there were a quite a few employees standing around and chatting. I even saw one employee lifting a weight in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the trash by the condiment bar is overflowing. Also, on top of the place just needing an overall tidying, I noticed they were selling individually wrapped Costco muffins, which I'm sure were priced up the wazoo. I just thought that was funny. Overall though, I would definitely go back again just for the food but maybe not to stay and dine in. read more

Get the chorizo egg bagel..you will be very happy. Drink options fit all tastes. Lemonade and Thai ice tea were yummy.

Of all the delicious places to eat in the Monterey/Pacific Grove region, this is the place we ordered from most while visiting there on our honeymoon. The everything bagels are EXCELLENT--some of the best I've ever had. One of our favorites was the veggie sandwich on an everything bagel with lox added. The Big Sur sandwich on an everything bagel was also delicious. The combination of flavors was perfect--loved the sun-dried tomatoes!! Will definitely come back for these! read more

Woke up craving a bagel breakfast sandwich. A quick Yelp search brought up Bagel Kitchen. I was sold from the looks of the uploaded photos from prior reviews - every bagel sandwich looked thiccccc. I love it when directions tell me I'll be arriving in a parking lot, especially when I'm hangry and just recently had to deal with horrible metered street parking in Downtown Monterey. I was really surprised when I walked in. The Bagel Kitchen is pretty hip and larger than expected. There is plenty of seating and tables, even a large farmhouse table in its own little private nook. Check the menu to your right when you immediately walk in, and then walk up to the counter to order. I was torn between the Jalapeno Bomb (jalapeno, avocado, pepper jack cheese) and the Lumberjack (sausage patty, bell pepper & onion, potatoes, and cheese). Ended up just adding the sausage patty to the Jalapeno Bomb. In retrospect I should have asked how much an additional ingredient would cost. I paid $9.90. On the menu, the Jalapeno Bomb as is costs $7.25...merp. Although, the menu clearly states "any cheese, gluten free and premium bagel will be charged extra." So maybe the extra cost was for the type of bagel and not the added sausage patty, idk. Besides the cost, my breakfast bagel sandwich was filling and delicious. The jalapeno cheese bagel was chewy, fluffy, and fresh. The ingredients were stacked perfectly and just the right amount to where I could take a bite without everything falling out. Also, the egg was fried - not runny (yay!) and not the microwaved version cooked at other bagel places. read more

BEST BAGEL BREAKFAST SANDWICHES EVER!!!!! My absolute fav, the Heart Attack is AMAZING! Chorizo was delicious and the pebble beach was good. The sourdough and everything bagel were my favs! This place is so freaking good I'm gonna be dreaming about it. So sad I don't live here :( The orange juice was also incredible, I loved it so much too. And the service was super friendly and great too. This place has got to me one of my fav breakfast spots of all time. No joke, it's that good. read more

Great food and great service! I went here after being frustrated with the Bagel Bakerys prices (the one in carmel charges you to slice the bagel). I was happily surprised at the bagel was far better than the Bagel Bakery. I also had amazing costumer service from Dahlia. Really polite and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. 10/10 would go here again! read more

Stopped in here twice during our visit to Monterey Bay. Bagel Kitchen shares a private parking lot, so it's easy to find parking vs. other places in the area. Inside, there was a lot of room and you can easily eat inside while socially distancing. The bagels are quite excellent and tasted fresh. I ordered the lox with cream cheese, capers, red onion, sprouts, tomato. It was exquisite! read more

Love their bagels . They have super fun creations and they are not average. My husband's favorite is the bacon and cheddar bagel, but some eggs in there and call it a day. The staff here really aim to please and they are working really hard to make sure that you're in and out of there without any delays. read more

Great selection bagels yummy and the service great. Clean place plenty of parking. Had a breakfast bagel.

My friends and I stopped by this bagel shop before we headed down to Big Sur and was surprised by how spacious, aesthetic, and inviting this bagel shop was. I got East Coast Breakfast (bagel with plain cream cheese, fried egg, smoked salmon, cucumber, avocado topped with arugula). It tasted very healthy, but it wasn't anything mind blowing for $12.75. I expected a little more smoked salmon at that price point and with everything in this bagel I could barely taste the smoked salmon at all. I appreciated that the bagel wasn't too dense and the food is freshly made! Perhaps I got the wrong thing? Because tons of locals were coming in ordering dozens of bagels at a time and there was a steady foot traffic into the store. read more

This place has a beautiful open space great for lounging or working. The bagels here are decently priced, but most importantly, they are incredibly good! I ordered the Aloha sunrise Bagel and it was probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The pineapple sausage and egg combo is so delicious. I also got the Big Sur bagel, which was also really good. The staff here is very nice and I would definitely come back here for breakfast again. read more

I feel like most bagel places I frequent are a bit dingy and run down, so Bagel Kitchen was a surprise! The decor and ambiance is very trendy - I could easily picture people hanging out in non-covid times. Covid-wise, Bagel Kitchen felt like they were doing things right. The number of people allowed in at once was capped, and they had clearly marked areas to order and wait for food. We visited on a Friday around noon and didn't have much of a wait. My sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel hit the spot. I also got an everything bagel with herb cream cheese for later, which I would probably skip next time - it was a little too much for me. I'd either get a plain bagel with the cream cheese, or just a less salty cream cheese with the everything bagel. They also had a large drink selection (fountain, bottled, and specialty coffee drinks). read more

The first ever Bagel was invented in 1683! Bagels have been around for 337 years. First time coming here and found this spot on yelp. They have 2 tables outside for outdoor seating, no on door dining because of covid-19. You must wear a mask to get served. There was no posting on the floor for 6 feet distance. You go up to the counter when it's your turn and choose what bagel you want. Then you wait for the person who took your order to pay afterwards. So we choose the Everything Seed Bagel and got the BIg Sur and The Pebble Beach and a coke. The price was fairly decent on average $7.00 a bagel. It took about 10 minutes for our order to be ready. And we ate outside in the dining area. If I'm in the area I would come back again! read more

Good bagel, but somewhat inefficient process. 20 minutes to get one bagel sandwich. Only 2 people in line. 4 staff members chatting while bagels come out and sit, toasted. No one seems sure who is prepping and who is ringing up. read more

Very tasty bagels and coffee! We both tried Meet Me in NY & Lox Lover + also ordered Mocha & Cappuccino with oat milk. All very tasty! They don't skimp on the toppings or cream cheese here. Everything was extremely fresh and made while we waited. (Appreciate the safety measures due to COVID-19, only bummer was that the bathroom was closed even though they offered indoor/outdoor dining, so make sure you don't drink too much coffee ). Thanks for a great breakfast! read more

Got bagel kitchen through DoorDash on my R&R retreat at the Bid-a-Wee. I ordered a tuna sandwich on an everything bagel and an organic orange juice. It was a hefty sandwich. On my first bite, I was unimpressed. I thought the tuna lacked any seasoning, it tasted bland. The bagel also tasted a bit dense. The avocado and sprouts didn't do much for the sandwich. The oj was pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to return again. I'd rather go to Noah's. read more

My husband and I are visiting from out of town, and discovered this gem because we were looking for good, cheap takeout breakfast. The bagels were delicious -- Big Sur on a gluten free bagel and Lumber jack on an everything bagel. The texture of the gluten free bagel was the perfect amount of chewiness and softness, not crumbly like many GF breads. I recommend calling in your order because it does take a while. Long line on a Sunday morning. Everyone practiced social distancing when standing in line. The only thing I would recommend is signage, so there are no confusion as where to order, wait, or pickup. read more
