I ordered a jack, avocado , and tomato egg melt and added bacon for a total of almost $20 for this bagel sandwich. Once I got home I noticed there was NO tomato. Heartbreaking. The sandwich was actually really good. But couldn't stop thinking about how much better it'd be with tomato, since it was so dang expensive. My sister ordered the same thing and they also did not include tomato on hers. These prices are outrageous, service is great... the bakery items looked so delicious but I did not want to add to my humongous total read more

Came in on a Friday morning for a bite before work. The place felt like a regular bagel shop and bakery! Just a cozy vibe all around. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I got a jalapeño cheese bagel with cream cheese. It was fine overall, though the bagel was extremely scorching hot and my cream cheese was practically melted by the time I took a bite. The taste was good. The price however, was definitely up there. $6 for a bagel with cream cheese is a lot! Though, I am willing to revisit. read more

Bagel Me! - Jalapeño Cheese Bagel with Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Orange, California

The bagels are good One dozen that comes with two small containers of cream cheese and is about $32 and they don't cut them for you unless you pay $2 more. I think cutting the bagels should come with the dozen! Definitely will go somewhere else next time their cream cheese tastes very good read more

The prices here are terrible and the food isn't great. The place also looks super tacky

I typically order online to pick up a bagel sandwich from this spot. I like to get the grilled chicken bagel sandwich at this spot with fries and a side of ranch. I wish they had the western chicken bagel sandwich because that one is so much more flavorful with the mushrooms and caramelized onions. The bagel sandwich in itself is very tasty. The side of fries is pretty minimal and overall the amount you pay is quite pricey which is why my rating is the way it is. I don't get food from here as often as I'd like because it is nearly $15 for a bagel sandwich and to upgrade your side which is almost another $5 is a hefty price. I don't even order my favorite watermelon shooter anymore because it is $9 for a smoothie! For the quality being put out and the amount you receive is not quite worth the price. To get a full meal would cost you close to $30. I would look elsewhere if you would like to get a better bang for your buck and this would be a last minute spot to get this kind of food if you're willing to pay that much every now and then. read more

1- bagel me is usually my favorite bagel shop BY FAR! this location sucks (which is shocking because the circle is so cute, and it seems like such a good idea to go there.) i've never had a good experience. They are supremely understaffed and everything takes forever, twice I've had the wrong order and just took it to just leave since I'd been there 40minutes 2- they are smart I having the cutest little 16-year-olds I work in the front because it's hard to get mad at them. Today the poor girl looked super overwhelmed, and told me it would be 30 minutes to get my bagel toasted.... after I already waited and a 10 minute line to get to the register. I decided to just get my own bagels to toast at home. She brings me a tiny ramekin of cream cheese, and I ask her for another one for my second bagel, and she tells me she didn't charge me for it yet.... she charges me for the second tiny ramekin of cream cheese, it's $2!!?!?!????? But she was so cute that I just paid and left vowing to take the extra drive to another location next time I crave bagel me HIRE MORE STAFF PLEASE!!! read more

Food was pretty good , but the prices did make it worth it . Horrible 2 bagels with cream cheese 28$ no drink included. Never again , things are expensive now a days but 30$ for 2 bagels is absolutely insane read more

So expensive , 2 bagels one with ham and cheese the other with just cream cheese . Bagels are not even big . They are the size of Starbucks bagels . Bagels are a 8/10 but are not worth paying 30 dollars for 2 bagels !! read more

Looked super cool cus it's in the orange circle and you assume all food is great ..... honestly I received the saddest bagel ever. No cream cheese. The display was sad and it was 14.99 for a bagel!!!!!!! I spent $40 here for 3 bagels... they don't even tell you it doesn't come with cream cheese or ask what kind of bagel you want! I got the egg avocado onion + tomato .... Never going back. Don't waste your money. read more

I read some of the reviews and maybe I just didn't order what they did, but did not have the experience they expressed. The price of 5 bagels and a medium coffee was 14.50. I was there at 740. I can imagine the supply of bagels being heavy early morning and very short by 10 or 11 AM. But to me, that's a sign of a good bagel! The bagels were great. The cashier was nice enough. I will return. read more

What was this rip off? Get your stuff together Bagel Me! I should have payed attention to the reviews but I was so hungry and I love bagels. I ordered avocado toast "toasted bagel with lots of avocado and lemon pepper". Okay I cried this was the biggest disappointment. THERE WAS HARDLY ANY AVOCADO. Why would you advertise a high quantity of avocado and then give me teenie pieces sitting on dry bagel? In what world is that a meal from a restaurant that cost me $7.95?! The lemon pepper seasoning tasted like licorice...don't know what the heck that was about. The bagel itself was good. That's the one star. I had to use my own cream cheese. read more

My husband and I stopped here for the first time this past weekend on a Sunday. We tried the cheese bagel with cheddar cheese cream cheese & jalapenos. It was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting it to just be regular cream cheese with jalapeños. Also tried the strawberry bagel and that just as good! Dough was perfect. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I love to walk to the Orange Circle and eat while watching all the cars pass. This is why I'm so sad that this specific location of Bagel Me has such terrible service. On today's visit they lost my order and then after I reiterated to them several times what I had ordered, the woman at the register had to convince the girl in the back that I wasn't lying. After all that they still messed it up and gave me the wrong bagel. I've been there and tried it multiple times so it's not just a fluke but I keep hoping every time will be different. Next time I'll definitely be going to Urth again. At least there when you pay almost $20 for a sandwich the service is great. As far as the flavor of the food is concerned, I've always loved their bagels but if you like Bagel Me, you should consider the other orange location. read more

INSANELY OVERPRICED for low quality food!! I paid almost $60 for 3 bagel sandwiches that were embarrassingly bad. The eggs are premade and microwaved and the bagels are stale. McDonalds is higher quality than this place. Absolutely insane! Stay away from this place! read more

I stopped in on my way to work to pick up bagels for a morning meeting. I ordered 20 assorted bagels & had them cut in half. I purchased 1 large plain cream cheese & 1 medium jalapeno & onion cream cheese. Separately I ordered a breakfast bagel & coffee for my son, which cost about $20. (EEK) My bad was that I didn't question the price before paying for the meeting bagels, but since I was in a hurry, just paid & headed out. I reviewed the receipt before handing it to my manager - I paid $62.90 for the order I purchased for work. The breakdown: meeting special (12 bagels) $22.01, 8 bagels $19.92, 1 medium plain cream cheese $5.99, 1 Jal & onion cream cheese med $6.99, 1 medium plain cream cheese $5.99, sliced $2.00. I was overcharged for the plain cream cheese (large) which should have been $8.99, instead they charged me #2 medium plain cream cheese @ 5.99/ea = $11.98, overcharged by $2.99. I called them a few days later to ask about the charges & why they didn't advise me to order an additional 4 bagels to get the meeting special; the friendly, sympathetic guy that answered explained that the owner does not want the staff to offer any specials, only to honor them when a customer asks. I was unaware of the meeting special & don't believe I had been given that special previously. If I would have known about it, I would have purchased 24 bagels instead of 20 for only $2.09 more. Needless to say I'm very disappointed in this Bagel Me. I already get flack from my manager for the price when I purchase 12 bagels with cream cheese because the bagel place he goes to in Lake Forest charges at least $10 less than I pay at the Orange Circle Bagel Me. I'm glad I got the meeting special even though I didn't ask for it, because it did save me $7.87. How awful though, that the owner doesn't want his staff to offer specials to their customers who are overpaying for bagels to begin with. Usually I go in for 12 bagels with cream cheese & spend $40-$45......adding 8 bagels for about $20 more is ridiculous. My manager would only give me $40 towards the bagels.....I had to cover the remaining $12.90 for a work meeting......so not cool! Guess I'll be getting my bagels elsewhere in the future so I'm not forking out the $$ from my own pocket. Staff is wonderful - the franchise owner, not so much. Bagels & cream cheese were tasty. If you're going for a bagel or 2, the ambiance of the circle & local shops is worth it. If you're going to purchase several bagels, you MUST ask for any specials & question the total bill if it seems off, because it probably is. read more

Be careful adding cream cheese to the bagel and toasting it is almost double the price vs buying and taking home to make at home i paid over $10 for bagel cream cheese and fountain drink lol inflation is nuts read more

I literally just left this place thinking I was going to get some Bagels for my Son and I as Yelp states they are open. We waited outside and seen a staff/team member setting up and upon entering the doors they were still shut, a crew member seen us and we gestured to her that we wanted to enter and she didn't even acknowledge us but felt the need to lock the door on us while we waited. Poor Customer Service! DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

This place has gone downhill fast. They used to make the best bagels and now they are awful. Plus they cost way too much. I spent $10 for four stale bagels that we couldn't even cut. I'm not sure if they're not making them every day because people are fed up with paying too much money for a bagel that isn't even good quality or if they did make it at six in the morning and by 9:30 AM they were stale, I got the last three everything bagels. I will not come back here again. I just came from back east and for half the price I got fresh bagels, soft and warm. There is no excuse for this. read more

I haven't been to a Bagel Me in forever. I thought why not since it's close to work and it would be quick. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. When I walked in I noticed a party of four sitting at one of the tables waiting for their food. So I thought cool, it'll be quick since they already ordered. I ordered the BLT with avocado. I waited about 30 minutes from the time I ordered to the time I got my food. Definitely order online if you have the chance. When I received my food I was taken off guard, they handed it to me and said "BLT with avocado" I opened it and it was their turkey sandwich. I didn't say anything because I really didn't have the time to wait another 30 minutes for them to fix it. They still put avocado and bacon on it as if it were a BLT so I ended up taking out all the turkey since I don't usually eat turkey. I asked for a box and they said sure thing. I waited five minutes and I realized that they had forgotten so I asked again. It took three different people to hand me a to go box. Training is definitely needed at this location and overall they are understaffed. Probably won't be back since there are so many other options in the area. read more

Came here for the first time and they messed up our order and when I went back in the lady at the register told me " that's not what you ordered" and continued to say that I was the wrong one. Instead of just offering to fix the order. Super unprofessional and the bathroom is coated in urine from the urinal overflowing. The bagels were basic at best. read more

I walked in and was the only customer. The employee was wearing plastic gloves and was on her phone texting. She took my money wearing the same gloves touching both the money and the cash register. Then, picked up my bagel. I think bare hands stood a better chance of carrying less bacteria. Disgusting. read more

Bagels are delicious, but giving 2 star review for the ridiculous, outrageous pricing. Cream cheese on a bagel $2.25, bagel $2.19. It's ridiculous that cream cheese costs more then the actually bagel. Never seen that at any bagel shop. Will not be back because of this. read more

Wow food was delicious!!! It's pricey but they add a good amount of food for the price we pay. Plus healthy food is expensive. First time coming here, definitely going back. Bagel tasted fresh, nice toasty and crunchy. Everything else also tasted fresh, well done, and lots of flavor. read more

I usually don't give 5 but this place definitely deserves it. This small little bagel shop is tucked in a beautiful round of a neighborhood. We had their avocado toast w/ eggs and also lox.

8.99 for a lox bagel with just two small slivers of salmon?? You gotta be kidding me. I paid $10 in Brooklyn for some bad ass lox bagels with almost everything on it (go see my review for Bergen Bagels to see what I'm talking about. Also they didnt have any coffee ready when we were eating at like 9:30 and offered a latte instead. "How do they make the latte without coffee?" I asked my fiance. To which we decided to wait and see. If there was coffee in it I wouldn't have known because it tasted like hazelnut flavored milk LOL. read more

I stopped in to pick up two dozen bagels for my co-workers this morning at 8:10 am. There was a large order before me and I patiently waited, and waited a total of 40 minutes for my two dozen cut bagels! I open the box and the bagels are not cut all the way thru so they are attached! To top it off they did not provide any plastic knives to spread the cream cheese! Lost a good customer. I'll return to the one on Newport Blvd. in Tustin where they take pride in their work and customer service!! read more

The bagels here are delicious yet the service is just"meh". I've been here several times usually on a Sunday morning. It sucks that by 10am they pretty don't have much of a variety. It's been 5 Sundays that I call to make a phone order and by 10am they don't have the everything bagel, the jalapeno, the cheese jalapeño, blueberry. I've been told it would be hours before " a jalapeno cheese would be made." I'm really unsure if this is a constant pattern why more bagels aren't made. The line can be super long but only 1 poor cashier. Service here and speed of orders can definitely improve. read more

Bagel Me! - Left overs if you don't come early - Bagels Near Me - Orange, California

My favorite little bagel shop around. This location is in a nice quiet shopping area really close to where I live so it makes for a perfect stop to grab a healthy breakfast. My go to is an Everything bagel toasted with Swiss cheese, egg, salt and pepper OR the Sesame seed toasted with avocado, lemon pepper and capers, yummy! Perhaps the best thing here are the amazing breakfast potatoes that come with your bagel. You have to taste them if you make it here. Everyone is really nice that works here and you can tell they believe in great customer service. Even prior to Covid challenges with staffing they tend to have a pretty small crew and your order can take a little longer than your average bagel shop. But I'm telling you, the potatoes are worth the wait! I usually grab breakfast before heading to the Ralph's next door to do some shopping. read more

Preset much a worthless business. Somehow they are never open, despite what the posted online hours are. After maybe five attempts to go back each time they're closed or closing as I approach. Giving up when there's so many other options. read more

Bagel Me! - The most boring lox and bagel. - Bagels Near Me - Orange, California

I wouldn't say I'm particular about bagels but I have been to many bagel shops. I decided to try this place and I have no complaints. I went around 11am on a Sunday and I expected it to be busy but the service was great and our food was out quickly. The bagels were good and still warm when served. The only complaint I have is the parking and location, which is right in the Orange Circle. If you're coming at a busy time and want to get in and out, the parking is definitely going to make that process a lot longer. read more

Bland and dry bagels. Incompetent workers. You could probably find a better bagel literally anywhere else

I'm not afraid to pay premium pricing for premium food, but the pricing at Bagel Me! is simply too high, and the food is only average. $29 for two bagel sandwiches is too much. $11 for two plain bagels and skimpy cream cheese is too much. And just scrolling through the rest of the menu, it's all too much as well. The food was ok, but definitely not the 20-25% overpay. This was definitely a one-and-done experience. read more

Location of course is always busy so parking varies depending on the time of the day. Expect to park a distance however it's a fun walk with many small shops around to see. Not many bagel selections and the ones that were available weren't so appealing. However, I got the everything bagel and it was good. Decent good. There aren't many illustrations of the choices on the menu. I ordered a breakfast bagel with eggs, sausage, avocado, and Chipotle sauce. Cost $10. The sausage and avocado were good but the eggs looked unappealing and reminded me a lot of eggs served in the military. They tasted plain. However the bagel and the Chipotle sauce did save the day. Better off making a bagel at home and saving money honestly. The service was okay. They can work on being more welcoming and smile more. They took about 20 minutes to prepare that with only one customer ahead of me. In conclusion: Overpriced with an insignificant benefit. read more

Bagel Me! - Boring appearance paired with a boring taste. Except for the Chipotle sauce that was given on the side. - Bagels Near Me - Orange, California

If there was a no star option this place earned it. I wanted a simple toasted cheese bagel and smear. What I got was a self service option. Get your cream cheese from the cooler and get your own bagel...... I turned around and left. Crappy service means crappy food. Bagels aren't that hard! read more

I would give this location negative stars if I could. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!! I ordered an everything bagel & lox with capers and capers were forgotten , but that was minor in comparison to my other sandwich. Also, ordered a turkey, bacon, and totally terrified when I took a bite only to find a freaking staple in my sandwich. A STAPLED STAPLE in my sandwich!!! I could've broke my tooth or even worse, swallowed that!!! Called in and spoke with Gemini who informed me the manager Yolanda was gone for the day so got no resolution to this yet. So upset and DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I ordered an everything cheese bagel with veggie spread. The total was $5.30 The bagel itself tasted pretty bad. Didn't even finish it. The "cheese" tasted like a stale cheez-it on top of the bagel and the veggie cream cheese was unflavored liquid. I got an upset stomach after eating just half the bagel. You could honestly get a better bagel at Starbucks for half the price (although half the size tbh). I was greeted and given a nod by one employee, but the cashier didn't have an ounce of customer service in her. Everyone seemed pretty unhappy. Except for when they were chatting with each other. They were pretty amiable then. The shop has no seating available and the condiment bar is also closed, but that shouldn't keep a place from maintaining it's "image". The place seemed a bit dirty and/or untidy. All in all not a great experience, even if it is just a bagel. read more
