I was getting new tires across the street so I decided to give City Bagel a try while I wait for my car. I ordered an everything bagel and latte and just sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and my bagel and coffee. The bagel was good, comparable to the Paneras of the world. The latte was good as well. My only comment is that I can taste flavoring (possibly chai from the latte that was ordered before me). I generally like my coffee to only be coffee, I don't do flavoring like mocha, vanilla, chai, caramel, etc. Minus the added flavor that I didn't care for, it was a good coffee. Temperature was perfect! As for parking and ambiance. I walked here but there is plenty of parking in the center. City Bagels has seating both inside and outside. The decor is dated but it seems that an elderly couple owns and operates this place. Update the look of this place a bit and be more aware of flavoring spillover and this place would be five stars. read more

Got the garlic bagel breakfast sandwich. I got it with eggs, bacon and ham. They were pretty skimpy with the meat. My coworkers got a chocolate bagel and a sesame bagel sandwich. They did not appreciate the 3 bagels being squished in 1 tiny brown bag. By the time we ate them the chocolate tasted garlicy and it was just not a good experience. We also got the avocado toast which was excellent, the avocados were fresh and the lemon pepper was a great touch. The bagels themselves are fresh and have great texture and flavor. I would probably just get a bagel with cream cheese next time. read more

Was in the area and found City Bagel while looking for breakfast. I ordered their Rancheros breakfast bagel with an egg bagel. The breakfast bagel was really good and made with care. The restaurant is run by a sweet husband and wife duo. The service was great and quick. The space is small, which is fine since this place is a grab and go spot. I would definitely come back if I am in the area. read more

As a native New Yorker it's not quite that level but better than some other local options. What's nice is that both sides of the bagels have seasoning unlike other places where only the tops do. Friendly service too. read more

Cute hole in the wall bagel shop owned by an older couple so it has a cute mom and pop shop that'd I'd love to support. The Lox bagel was good and tasted freshly baked and cheaper than other places like Avalon lol. Food was great and service was friendly and quick. Definitely would want to try other things from here! read more

Cute bagel shop with so many options to choose from! The smell once you walk in here was divine, and I was so excited to try out the bagels. I ended up ordering a chocolate chip bagel and regular cream cheese (basic I know) but wanted something on the sweeter side and I really enjoyed my bagel, so much so I forgot to take a picture. I believe it was the owners that helped me out but they were really sweet! I will definitely be coming back read more

Great spot and apparently very popular with the locals. I ordered a bacon egg & cheese on an everything bagel for myself and an everything bagel with cream cheese for myself coworker. The bagels are so good. They are warm & fresh firm & chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. Bacon egg & cheese was so good. Dry, but good (I should've asked for some sauce, that was my bad) The owners are the people who serve you and they do it with a smile. Such nice people. I'll be back! read more

Tried two bagels and a black iced coffee this morning. The establishment was decent and I'd probably go back. Tbh the bagels were nothing spectacular but decent. I ordered the turkey, cheese, and egg on jalapeño cheddar bagel. I also ordered an egg, cheese, salsa, and cream cheese on a jalapeño bagel. Good but not great. Plus: The staff were nice and the establishment itself was cute and seemed to be clean. read more

I only read to the phrase "pizza bagel" on the menu. I do not remember much else. The pizza and bagel were properly united unlike most people in this country, and the bagel was priced very reasonably, if not cheaply. I took everything from this bagel: the cheese, the sauce, the bread, and the pepperoni. I gave it my all in return though. The staff served this particular bagel very quickly and skillfully. Almost as if they execute this straightforward activity all day for money. Everyone on staff seemed very confident in their bagel preparing and serving ability. Conviction must be key in the bagel game. No doubts were expressed about the real difficulties that lie in cooking up a pizza bagel. The ambience is legitimately serene & mellow. One can actually stop & smell the pizza bagels here without fear of iphone jibber jabber, mewling infants, barking dogs, or cheesy muzak. Someone at City Bagel values peace & quiet. There is nothing wrong with bagels & achieving total consciousness, so please leave daft dogs & ill mannered progeny at home or in the car, if you please. read more

Fantastic bagel place! Authentic boiled then baked New York style bagels. Nice chewy skin with dense insides!! Completely different (and superior) culinary experience compared to a Bruggers or Einstein. Service with a smile. Looks like it's been here quite a while. The neighborhood is lucky to have them here! Best bagels after you mountain bike the Fullerton Loop! read more

Fabulous and fresh bagels! They have so many fun flavors and toppings. I got a tomato Basil bagel with cream cheese, to oat or slices, avocado and lemon pepper- it was sooooo good! I gobbled it so quickly I forgot to take a picture for my review. My friend got one of their bagel breakfast sandwiches and really enjoyed it as well. Love coming here and will always continue, great service and great food! read more

Cute place, friendly staff! Good bagels and cream cheese but very expensive for what you get. 7.50 for a bacon egg and cheese on any bagel (egg is not fresh cracked, bacon bits instead of big bacon piece) 7.50 for a bagel stick which is basically half a bagel and I asked for cream cheese... I paid 7.50$ for basically half the amount of bagel if I had just ordered a default bagel with cream cheese it would've been cheaper and more food. Do not get a bagel stick We paid 15$ total for a meal that typically is under 10$, and a lot better. I think the prices are high since there is not many bagel shops around. Our fav place is Main Street Bagels in San Jose. Still try this place! 2.50 per bagel OR 21.50 for DOZEN 2.99-5$ for cream cheese read more

Bagels had a great texture, flavors were perfectly soaked into the dough. Got salt and blueberry - blueberry was amazing, lots of blueberries inside the layers and would have been great even on its own without cream cheese, which is a testament to the quality of bagels. Homey feel inside, service was quick and friendly. A true neighborhood gem - the bagels truly speak for themselves! Would recommend 10/10 to friends and family, becoming a regular won't be hard here! read more

Bagel, by all means not n.y style crunch outside chewy inside. It's more like oven baked bread. Interior is dark and cozy? couple tables inside but, plenty of patio seatings. Owners are friendly and service is fast. $8.60 for 2 bagels (one with creamcheese one just plain).I think we were overcharged.. read more

Poppyseed is my favorite from here. Sourdough smells better than it tastes I just prefer a strong finish. Healthy grain which is mostly oats was unique. Skip the garlic. Veggie cream cheese is the best I have ever had. John and sue are the nicest people. Ambiance is comfortable and inviting. Sign the guest book! read more

Tried their bagels today and it did not disappoint. I ordered something simple as a plain bagel with Cream cheese. The establishment is clean and decent. I love the ascetic of the establishment for its simplicity and being organized. The family who owns the place are very kind and friendly. They are quick and got my food under 5 minutes. I would defiantly come back here again. read more

Delicious and friendly service. A great little local gem. Love the classical music they play too. So soothing!

I love that their bagels are baked and not fried! Their smoothies are great and the owners are super friendly!

I love the atmosphere, the coffee, and the bagels. The owners are family owned. I'll 100% support this small business. Nova lox is the best!

Great bagels. Good service. Chocolate chip and blueberry bagel are good. Nice workers

I actually stumbled upon this place unexpectedly. It was so cute I decided to try an everything bagel and was surprised how much the texture reminded me so much of the New York bagels I grew up enjoying. There's alot of outside and inside seating with very freindly couple to help you with your order. They tell me they've been in business for a long time. I highly suggest getting a few bagels to try out. You can't go wrong. read more

Came early on a Sunday morning right at opening. My son was playing a baseball game nearby and I didn't want to go to Starbucks for breakfast so I elected to support a small business instead. Both husband and wife was present in store. After reading the newspaper clippings on the walls about their story I made small chat with them and they were as sweet as ever could be. Lots of smiles and humility about their success. I got the smoked salmon on sesame bagel. Bagel was crisp on the outside yet chewy on the inside. Just how I remembered them in NYC. Good amount of cream cheese, but the smoked salmon was from Costco - I am almost 100% sure because I get it regularly there. Thinly sliced red onion capers, and juicy tomatoes made this a best bagel I have had in a long while. Have been back because this was just a circumstantial visit, but if I was a local I would gladly support them regularly. read more

!!! RIP OFF ALERT !!! AVOID - AVOID - AVOID I love salt bagels and thought this place would be a good solution. THREE PROBLEMS and a GOUGE! 1 - There is probably more salt in the dough than on the bagel. There were literally a dozen or so grains of salt on the outside of the bagel. Is salt too expensive? Read on to see a trend. 2 - The smear was pathetic. I mean you have to purposely be trying to put the least amount of cream cheese on this bagel as you possibly can to produce what was given to me.....and see #3 for the real kick in the #@%&s! 3 - They charge 5 bucks for a bagel with cream cheese, but hey I must be a block from the beach or in some fancy part of town. NOPE! You're in a dire mini-mall in Palencia that includes a closed down Big Lots, dry cleaner, barbershop, and a coil laundry. !! GOUGED !!! They have an automatic 14% service charge added to the bill with a TIP line too. Greedy, greedy owners. One positive note is that aside from skimping on the salt the bagel does appear to be being made correctly (boiled then baked), but it is missing something. I give the bagel alone a 6.5 out of 10. read more
