I stayed in Monterey during our road trip along the coast. We wanted to grab something quick for breakfast before hitting the road. I looked on Yelp and found Bagel Kitchen, sooo glad I did cause we really enjoyed it. We usually don't eat a big breakfast but we couldn't decide what to order because of all the options.. so we decided to both get our own sandwich. I'm so glad we did cause I loved what I ordered and I ate the other half for lunch. I ordered the lox lover with plain bagel and added cucumbers to it. The bagel texture was perfect, chewy but soft at the same time. The veggies in the sandwich were fresh and the lox wasn't fishy, I highly recommend if you're a smoked salmon lover! My boyfriend ordered the heart attack - it came with bacon, eggs, cheese and hot link sausage. He enjoyed his sandwich as well, but definitely on the heavier side. read more

standing in line for 9 minutes (a handful of people already seated and eating/waiting for orders but not insanely crowded) behind another couple, god knows how long they waited. They are definitely hustling back there but there's been no one, not a single employee who even looks up to say we'll be with you shortly or anything else, they don't acknowledge customers. I've been a long time customer - since the ranchero breakfast burrito, and the service has suffered over the years. And no, I didn't stay. The staff took the order of couple ahead of me, no greeting or acknowledgement of me or the others stacking up behind me either - none of whom looked happy. 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!

We came here two mornings in a row for breakfast while in town and overall, not the worst spot to go but I'm sure there are better. For us, it was the most convenient option to where we were staying. Though it's called bagel kitchen, the breakfast burritos are really the better option. The first morning I got a bagel sandwich and the bagel was pretty dry. We also got a few bagels to take home and they were all pretty hard and had to be revived with water in the oven, even on the same day. Morning 2 though the breakfast burritos were pretty good. Service isn't particularly friendly and it takes a very long time to get your food but ok for a stop if needed! read more

The people here are so ridiculously awesome and amazing that I just love their bagels even more. I love that they have gluten-free. I typically go once a week or so. Today I placed an order online and asked for sprouts. They were out of sprouts so instead of just not putting sprouts, they wrote me a cute little note and gave me a side of lettuce. How adorable is that? read more

This is an excellent bagel shop and busy. We came at about 10 am on a Sunday and already the bagel selection was starting to be limited as they were selling out fast! The bagels were very tasty and perfect with a crunchy exterior and soft interior. The staff listened to our order requests, and the amount of cream cheese was perfect! Love this place and will be back again and again! read more

The bagels are tasty and service is great. My biggest concern however is how dirty the building is. It's February and they still have Halloween and Christmas decorations out so clearly they do not clean often. The ceiling and walls are COVERED in this nasty looking brown gunk. The whole thing just needs a good cleaning. If the front looks that gross I don't even want to imagine what the kitchen looks like. read more

If you're looking for a breakfast before you head to the beach or looking for a cafe style dining area, this is the place for you! Situated in a plaza next to Ace Hardware, Bagel Kitchen is a trendy shop for delicious bagels. Once I came in here, I knew I had to come out with more than one meal and ended up with the Aloha Sunshine and my own Bagel Dog. The Aloha Sunshine definitely lives up to its name, being a breakfast bagel with a pineapple sausage in the middle. On the other hand, the Bagel Dog was so juicy and good I didn't have to dip it in ketchup. The parking abundant with a lot of open spaces and the shop has plenty of seating if you want to come here, have a nice meal, and socialize with your friends. Would love to come back and try more of the menu next time! 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.

Solid bagels. You can find all the normal accompaniments like a variety of cream cheese, drinks, etc. These are not the NY style for those who are looking for them. Nice chewiness tho with soft crust. read more

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

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

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

Never thought that bagels could be that good. The Jalapeno bomb is a must-try. One of the few places open on Thanksgiving.

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

Love coming here, I've never had anything less than delicious, hot-and-ready food. Service is friendly, and the Thai tea is yummy!

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

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

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

gluten free handmade bagels? Yes! This place is awesome. Very spacious inside with plenty of seating and very clean. The speciality breakfast bagels taste fresh and are made to order (including a fresh fried egg). Gluten free bagels only come in plain flavor, but no complaints as it tasted delish! They don't have a menu inside so be prepared to scan the QR inside to access the e-menu. Apply pay accepted! read more

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

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

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 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

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
