Absolute Bagel Perfection! I can't say enough good things about Clearwater Bagels. If you are looking for the perfect crunch-to-chew ratio, this is the spot. The Food: We tried a little bit of everything, and every single bite was a hit: * Everything Bagel: Toasted perfectly with cream cheese, fresh tomatoes, and onions. The seasoning was spot on. * Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel: This had the perfect kick! Toasted with cream cheese, tomatoes, and onions--the toppings were perfectly matched to the savory heat of the bagel. * Honey Bagel: For the sweet tooth! We got this toasted with strawberry cream cheese, and it tasted like a total treat. The Service: What really sets this place apart is the vibe. The guy at the register was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It's rare to find great food paired with genuine hospitality, but they nail it here. Bottom line: The bagels are incredible, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is top-notch. I already can't wait to come back! read more

So nice I had to get it twice!! Yesterday I tried this place out for the first time and had such a great experience, I went back today to get pretty much the same thing. The lox open faced bagel is perfectly proportioned with fresh ingredients... not to forget the amazing bagel underneath too! :-) Vanilla latte was a bit sweet but very good still, no burnt coffee taste. Will definitely be back to try more of their huge menu! Other pluses: - everyone working there was so friendly and helpful, thank you! - plenty of parking in a large plaza - peaceful covered patio with a great view of the trees and hills read more

Loveeeee Clearwater!! The quality is consistent, and in my opinion that's the hardest thing to nail in the food industry. The owners and workers are so kind, and they're truly moving as fast as they can to get to everyone! It's a small shop, so there may be a line but I promise it's worth it. There's a limited amount of seating inside but ample amount outside! 20 years of coming to this bagel shop & it's always my baseline to compare other bagels to. read more

Been coming here since 2016, and let me tell you, this is the best mom-and-pop bagel shop. They have plenty of bagel selections. The menu consists of closed-bagel and open-face-bagel options, however you want them. The drinks are great too, and I personally get the vanilla chai blended. As you can see in the picture, we got an egg and cheese bagel with jalapeño and cheese. The second bagel is avocado cream cheese with jalapeño and cheese. If people are complaining about there not being enough bagels when they arrive close to closing time, you can't blame the store they are poppin and those bagels sell out quick! Better get there when they open because that's when you can taste the fresh out of the oven bagels! Oh yeah all there bagels are home made with love put in them read more

I've tried there couple of times and it's a cute cozy place with a lot of bagel flavors to choose from. Service is really nice too. The only thing I have to complain is that they don't usually put that much cream cheese on there. I wish they add more. read more

The best place to get your bagels! less than 5min away from mt.sac. The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. I got a chicken club bagel (forgot to take a picture xD) and an avocado bagel with cream cheese and lox. They provide quality recommendation on which bagels go well with each ingredients. My first time here the owner had also given me a complementary ice coffee! Overall, a wonderful experience coming here for breakfast! I recommend the garlic bagel and the ice hazelnut coffee! read more

Clearwater Bagel - Garlic Bagel with avocado, cream cheese, and lox (salmon) - Bagels Near Me - Walnut, California

Family owned business. Came on a Wednesday at 1230pm and ordered an open face lox bagel ($14) on jalapeño cheddar ($1) extra. Order came out in less than 10 min & only one person working. They give generous amount of ingredients and it tasted fresh. There were very few bagel options when I was there so make sure to come earlier. It's my third time coming here and the customer service is always good. read more

fantastic and extremely fresh bagels made daily. This is not like Einstein bagels or other places they use fresh ingredients. You can taste the difference! Family owned and you can tell that makes a difference. the menu's huge! love it! read more

Mom and pop run bagel shop. The owners here are incredibly genuine people who care about their customers. The bagels are all freshly made and once they sell out, they sell out. (No overnight bagels for you) My go to breakfast is the Lox bagel or even get the super breakfast (I believe that's what it's called). Honestly would come here everyday for breakfast if I still lived in walnut. Try to go early because their bagels sell out fast! read more

This is THE bagel place to go in my household! Tracy is so nice and the food is always good. 10 out of 10!

Love this bagel shop! It's small, but mighty. The staff are always friendly, the service is quick, and it's just cute all around. I've had their onion bagel, garlic bagel and their rosemary olive oil bagel so far, always with a plain cream cheese and it never disappoints. I recommend! read more

Nice quaint spot near MtSac. Got me the Godfather which is pastrami and provolone. Looks small but OMFG this thing is packed with flavor. Can't speak to the service though for my wife ordered while I ran an errand next door. Priced right, good oj, chill vibe on a Sunday morning. If you dont want to drive to Beverly Hills for their pastrami bagel and spend 70 bucks come here instead. Easier on the wallet and you taste buds will thank you. read more

** ONE STAR FOR MY EXPERIENCE NOT THEIR BAGELS!!! ** So I used to come to Clearwater for bagels when I lived closer. The bagels were amazing and there were always a ton of people in line for them. Today I decided to drive out to pick up a dozen for family. I tried calling the day before to see if they do pre-orders because I needed them early Saturday morning but no one picked up. So I get here today, Saturday morning, almost 39 minutes early. I wait and they don't open until about 8:10. While waiting I notice signs everywhere stating that they don't sell loose/bagels, which I'm totally confused by. When I finally get inside I'm told that the only way I can buy more than one bagel is if I purchase a $5 side of cream cheese FOR EACH BAGEL. I was so dumbfounded by this, I asked, "So if I buy 6 bagels I need to buy each one it's own cream cheese for $5- which would be $30 just for the cream cheese?" And the cashier confirmed that was correct. A dozen is $21, so if I didn't pre-order it world be $81 for a dozen bagels and a dozen individual cream cheeses that I'm required to purchase Nevada I didn't pre-order. I understand that they do this so they apparently don't sell out early, but making people pay $5 for cream cheese for each bagel? Really, really disappointed- especially as a customer who used to love them and honestly did not know about this policy before I woke up almost two hours early and drive over to Walnut to get here before they opened. read more

Clearwater Bagel has the best bagels in town. They're always fresh, soft, and incredibly delicious. I especially love their everything bagels with nova salmon cream chees it's my go‑to every time.

Clearwater Bagel is a small, locally-owned spot. You place your order from one side of the store and pick it up from a window on the other. I went on a random Wednesday around lunchtime when it wasn't busy, and the wait was ok. I ordered their Avocado Bagel on an Everything Bagel and the S'mores Bagel on a Cranberry Bagel, which were new to the menu and sounded intriguing. Unfortunately, both open-faced bagels were a letdown. The bagels were overly hard and crusty, and they seemed almost shrunken after toasting. The avocado bagel was topped with slices of fresh avocado and lemon pepper seasoning -- basic and straightforward but slightly underwhelming. The s'mores bagel, while creative, was overly sweet, sticky, and messy. It's a one-time novelty, not something I'd crave again. A few months ago, I tried their California Club Bagel (onion) Sandwich -- it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't particularly memorable. Compared to other local bagel spots like Bageloo, Reborn, or Julie's (in the past), Clearwater doesn't really stand out, especially considering their prices. The bagels just aren't that good. They also make it harder to buy just loose bagels. If you don't preorder a large quantity, you have to pay for bagels with cream cheese, which costs more.. This feels so restrictive and less customer-friendly. I've heard the place changed ownership, and that might explain why it doesn't live up to the reviews. It's disappointing because I'd like to support a local business like this, but the bagels just aren't worth it. I haven't tried their drinks yet, but honestly, I'd rather go somewhere else for better bagels. read more

Easy parking in a strip mall. This place has limited hours and caters to locals in the area including the local colleges. They have dally fresh options that can be sold out depending on popularity. It is disappointing that the price point the bagels are so high for the amount of bagel you get. Further the bagels are not really anything unique to command the price. I understand it's difficult to run a local business but it is difficult to support the place given the price per taste per volume here. Overall worth a skip. read more

My daughter school is in the same plaza and stopped by this morning for a quick bite before her winter performance. Came here before and was looking forward trying their bagels again. This time i got a regular bagel vs their bagels sandwich. Ordered their garlic bagel with strawberry cream cheese spread and my wife for their jalapeno cheese bagel with jalapeno spread. The garlic bagel was fresh. You can taste the freshness of the garlic on the bagel as you take a bite the full flavor of the garlic kicks in and it tasted amazing. Better than store bought garlic bagel which i feel is barely noticeable. Service was great as last time with fast turn around for a busy morning. Great staff and pleasure to talk to and interact with. The fresh garlic on the bagel also provides a nice crunch to each bite and the strawberry cream cheese spread was delightfully delicious. The nice bright pink color of the spread also made the bagel pop in flavor and appearance. My wife enjoyed her jalapeno cheese bagel and spread that paired very well together providing a light heat with the cheese on the bagel pairing well with the spread. Forgot to take a photo (sorry camera did not eat first today, lol)... will take one next time i am back and i will be back.. Highly recommend people check out clearwater bagel a family owned and local business in the walnut area. Stop by here and get a coffee or other variety of refreshments they offer, you will not be disappointed. read more

Absolutely adore their lox bagel. The first bite is amazing, but every bite just gets better and better. The different tastes and textures are what keep me coming back to the lox bagel. The silkiness of the smoked salmon, the smoothness of the cream cheese and the crunch of the cucumber are a beautiful combo. I usually enjoy lox with a taro smoothie. Which is refreshing and not too sweet. The owners are so welcoming and sweet. My order came promptly and the freshness of the bagel was clear. I used to go to Mt. SAC a few years ago. Once in a while, I would go to Clearwater as a little breakfast treat after failing a physics exam. Would definitely recommend this small business due to the variety of items without sacrificing quality. read more

I hadn't heard of this place until recently, so I had been meaning to come here for a while. It was still pretty busy around 10:30am and there was only one guy working. The wait was decent, but of course since we knew there was only one person doing everything, we were patient with our orders! I loved that they have so many options of bagels to choose from! Both by themselves or as a sandwich/menu item. Indoor and outside seating. It is locally owned, has lots of parking, and they have merch available for purchase. read more

Amazing classic lox bagel!! love my visit at the place. Staff busy but so kind and friendly

I didn't actually try their bagels. I felt a little unwelcome when I walked up. There were numerous signs around with one sign saying they were short staffed and any larger orders had to be preordered. I usually go to Starbucks (right across the parking lot from Clearwater) but Starbucks only has two kinds of bagels. I wanted a toasted sesame bagel with butter so I went to Clearwater. It said it was a "family owned" business so I felt good about going there. The cost of a sesame bagel was, I believe, $2.50(it was an extra .25 for a sprinkling of sesame seeds). I asked for it toasted with butter to go and the (clerk/owner?) told me it would be $5.50. I asked what happened to the $2.50? She said it was $3.00 to toast it and put butter on it, "just like Starbucks". Um - no - Starbucks toasts the bagel and gives you the butter for about $2.50. I'm sure by the reviews the bagels are delicious but the extra price was over the top in my opinion. It seems like a family owned business would try a little harder. If I was eating in, maybe an extra dollar would make sense for the clean up. I said "No thanks" and went across to Starbucks to get my delicious toasted bagel with two pats of butter for $2.50. read more

This place has some of the best bagels and bagel sandwiches I've ever had. I ordered the super breakfast bagel on sun-dried tomato bagel and two classic lox open face bagels and I was not disappointed. Their bagels are some of the softest and chewiest bagels that ever had and you could tell they make them fresh daily. I will definitely be thinking about these later on in the day. Definitely will be coming back. And the customer service is wonderful! You don't find places like this anymore. Also here's a tip: if you want individual bagels as a lot, order ahead. The ones in the store are for sandwiches and such. No big deal, but just wanted to give a heads up. Thank you! Will be back. read more

We were out of town for my son's football game and wanted something better than greasy fast food--a good local, mom-and-pop spot. We chose Clearwater Bagel based on their great reviews, and it did not disappoint. Even though there were only two people working and they were very busy, the staff was gracious and got our order out quickly. We ordered (2) club sandwiches, (2) Americanas, and (1) cinnamon sugar bagel. Everything was fresh and delicious, and my whole family left happy and full. A tip: get there early if you want the best selection. By the time we arrived at noon, they were already out of some bagels. Despite that, we loved what we had and would definitely return to try their breakfast sandwiches and smoothies, which seemed to be very popular with other guests. Highly recommend this spot for great food, friendly service, and a true local vibe. read more

This Saturday I didn't wake up in time and rush to play pickleball at nearby Walnut Ranch Park. This is a small bagel shop recommended by my friend, and it delivers. It has vibe of small cafe shop and eatery. Since I am very hungry at 10am. I ordered jalapeño cream cheese bagel with jalapeño bagel (spicy + spicy) and a small sweetened iced coffee. The jalapeno cheese is really tasty and fresh, it is very refreshing and not spicy, The jalapeños cream has a hint of spiciness with sweet cheese cream. The jalapeno bagel is a bit more spicy with kick, but very fresh, soft, and great texture. Sweetened iced coffee is not too strong, good flavor and complements my spicy jalapeños bagel well. I will be back to try more bagel with friends and family. read more

Came here in 2021 and it was the best bagels ever. We had toe egg bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and breakfast bagel. Day dreamed about it every once in a while. Just came today and ordered the same thing. The bagels size and cream cheese amount has reduced sadly but it's still very good. I wanna try the honey bagel next time.

This is a small little bagel spot that offers a variety of bagel options and bagel sandwiches. I got there around 10 am and it wasn't busy. There is no where to sit inside to dine-in so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. I ordered a lox bagel and the garden bagel sandwich. For $13.50 a sandwich, I was pretty disappointed to see how small it was when our order came out. The bagel was barely the size of my palm. I know New York style bagels are supposed to be more chewy but mine tasted doughy and a bit stale. The lox bagel was good but the garden bagel sandwich didn't have much flavor and tasted like bread and lettuce. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with their bagel sandwiches and it's pricey for what you get. Parking right in front of the establishment can be tight but there is plenty of parking in the plaza. read more
