This is the best, most welcoming breakfast and coffee place in walnut. Deko is an amazing owner and maker of food; you can feel the love that goes into this place and you can definitely taste it in every delicious thing they sell. If you're not sure what to get, breakfast with a kick is so perfect with a little caramel iced coffee read more

Been coming to this spot for many years and through different owners. The. We couple had had it for a few years now and the quality is just as good as before. Awesome people and very kind. Bagels are always fresh and delicious and the home made cream cheeses are always on point. Pizza bagel is good and the egg bagels are great. The coffee is one of my favorites too. Good and strong. The fresh squeezed OJ is always good too. My only grief with this place is that you can not order more then 5 bagels without prior notice. I take some for work sometimes and can not buy for everyone. Other then that this place is great. read more

Wow! This place is amazing! Bagels are delicious! The people who work here are the nicest!!!!!! My go to bagel place. read more

Clearwater Bagel - Cheese and egg on a jalapeño cheddar bagel AND Cucumber, avocado & capers on a jalapeño cheddar bagel - Bagels Near Me - Walnut, California

It was really busy so naturally there was a wait (from what I could see, there were only two people working) and I ordered a small iced coffee and everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and avocado. It took about 10 - 15 minutes total waiting and ordering, and the young man behind the counter gave me a large for the wait! So incredibly nice and not to mention, the best bagel I've ever had!!! Good coffee too read more

I am really really sad. I had been coming to Clearwater Bagel for a long time, but since I had to watch my carb intake for the last few months, I had not been by for awhile. About a week ago, I asked my BF to pick us up lox bagels for breakfast.. when he got there he sent me a picture of the inside of the place. Huh?! Where's the asian man that normally runs the front of the cafe? It had a new look, with a guy behind the counter in a chef's outfit and new everything! My bf said the lox bagels were now $9.75.. I said, fine, so long as it is the same bagel, I don't mind. So he purchased them and brought them home (we are literally 3-4 blocks away). We are not picky eaters, and Clearwater Bagel has been my fave bagel place since I was little. My bf did not finish his lox bagel. He had started his first and told me the bagel was underbaked. I didn't entirely believe him, so I tried mine.. and sure enough, underbaked as well. He had gotten his on an everything bagel, and mine was whole wheat--so it wasn't just our types of bagel, it seems to be maybe all of them? I tore a piece of the bagel away from mine to make sure it wasn't my mind playing tricks on me... and sure enough, the middle of the bread was dark and damp, obviously underbaked, giving a gross squishy texture anytime we bit into the bagel. There was also only a single layer of lox on the bagel, not much for an almost $10 price tag. This is very disappointing. I may try again in a few months, but if this is a sample of what to expect from the new ownership.. I need to find a new bagel place. read more

The California Club and Chicken Salad on an everything bagel was great!! Can tell the bagels are freshly made. Service is nice and friendly. Location is easy to find and lots of parking in the plaza. No seating inside though but didn't matter to me as I got my order to-go. Saw they are family owned so would definitely come back again to support! read more

When a place advertises a specific opening time but doesn't actually open until 30 minutes later, it's frustrating, especially when it causes me to be late for work. I called the day before to confirm their hours and was told they open at 8 a.m. sharp. I planned to bring bagels for my coworkers, but they didn't open until 8:30 a.m., and there was no apology for the delay. The service was subpar, and the bagels aren't as good since the change in ownership. I won't be returning to this location. read more

I stopped by here for a Yelp Elite week perk but also to get another bagel on the side so I will be purely reviewing for that latter purchasing experience and also for the deliciousness of everything I got! I got a garlic bagel with nox and a sundried tomato bagel with an iced coffee. The garlic bagel was, dare I say, beautiful - it's not everyday you see a bagel with perfectly and evenly distributed bits of garlic. And the nox was tasty without being overpowering. I also really liked the iced coffee, which was smooth and just sweet enough. Also, kudos to the owner, who I witnessed enforce the no mask no service policy. You can find Clearwater Bagel with the signage "Bagel" in the middle of a shopping plaza - I'm definitely going to come back here when my breakfast bagel urges get the best of me. read more

Sweet concoctions of heavenly dough + dreamy cream cheeses of all sorts equal to a Yelp-O-Licious treat. I always have said the best bagels I have ever tried we're in New York, but that just changed! YAY, my 300th review:) Bagels: 5 Stars****** Selection of Bagels: 5 Stars***** Cream cheeses: 5 Stars***** Selection of Cream cheeses: 5 Stars***** Customer Service: 5 Stars***** I have no idea what kind of dough they use, but these are not your average stale bagels. I wouldn't even consider them bakers but more like a culiary artist that deserves a Michelin star rating. I ordered the Blueberry bagel with Strawberry creme cheese, and it was delicious. It was nice and warm, and the bagel was slightly crispy on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside. The blueberries were so good, and with that creamy strawberry cream cheese WHOA, my taste buds were in ecstasy! The Strawberry creme cheese does not overpower the blueberries and has the right consistency to balance out all the flavors. The bagel was a fantastic work of art, and I'm glad I got to see them paint. I also ordered an iced coffee that was equally good, refreshing, and satisfying. Seriously, they have top-quality bagels at reasonable prices, a must-try, and they are charming people. read more

I've stopped here a few times to grab some bagels and have always had a good experience. Food is always fresh, customer service is great, and the ambience is warm and inviting! Today I stopped in and ordered my usual four bagels - Two with cream cheese and two on the side to have for later. I was told that unless I order ahead (day before coming in), I have to buy cream cheese for every bagel. This was new to me. I understand not wanting to provide large quantities of loose bagels to ensure all customers are serviced but not being able to get two loose bagels on the side is ridiculous. I'm not going to go call a day a head for two bagels. Additionally, my total for the food and orange juice came out to be $27. I really enjoyed coming here but after my experience and how expensive my visit was, I'm going to find alternative options. read more

This place has the best bagels :) I love to support a small family owned business, they are always so polite and care for the customers. I love to order the classic lox sandwich on an everything bagel read more

Been a customer for over 10+ years, from the original owners to now the "new" owners... Every time I'm nearby, I try to stop by to grab a few bagels if they are still open, since they close at 1 pm. Their bagels are still the best in the area, fresh, fluffy, soft, great texture, and flavorful. If we have smoked salmon at home, it's an even better addition to their bagels. When we were still working in the office, prior to COVID, my coworkers would often purchase a dozen bagels for the office. Love their bagels! read more

I like going here on the weekends. The bagels are fresh and the couple who owns the bakeshop is very nice. My favorite bagel is their jalapeno cheddar with regular cream cheese. I also get their coffee with condensed milk. Yummmmm. read more

Their bagels are superb! The shop is clean and well-lit. I'd been thinking about this bagel shop all morning but was busy and since I now have to get to work at 7:30 am, I was bummed. I discovered that they DoorDash! Great! I can DoorDash pickup for breakfast and lunch! WIN! I tried to Doordash an order for pick-up and it wouldn't take PayPal, so I tried Venmo and that wasn't good. Then I tried a CC. Boom-success! I was excited! Then I got a message that the establishment wouldn't be open at the time I needed my order: at 10:15 am! Yelp and their Instagram account, say they're open. I'm busy today and only get a 30 min lunch. I was going to walk over on my break but my break is over. I can't even do delivery because on DoorDash they're closed! Oh well. It's 2023 and technology still eludes them, I guess. I know they may be open and maybe forgot to turn on their app but geez. read more

Wonderful service! They really go above and beyond to make sure you know all the bagel options and types of cream cheese flavors! Safety protocol is in place and they have outdoor seating that is physically distanced. Coffee is great! Too sweet for my taste so next time I will definitely request it to be lightly sweetened. They have parking right in front of the shop. read more

This place is THE BEST. Super affordable quality NY style bagels with a huge variety of flavors and toppings. Great local spot that's been a community favorite for decades! Their aloha bagel (toasted coconut and sugar) with jalapeño cream cheese is one of my favorites- perfect mix of sweet and spicy!! and their jalapeño cream cheese is actually full of real jalapeño chunks.. full of spice! :) gets pretty busy in the mornings but usually not too bad of a wait (but try to get here when they open at 8 am as people do start to line up before doors even open). Owners are always so sweet and friendly and really care about the quality and service of their business. I will always recommend this place to everyone I know! read more

Clearwater Bagels is very good place for breakfast. I ordered the plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese ($3.50). It is delicious! The bagel is soft and chewy at the same time and matches well with strawberry cream cheese. It really light up my day after having it as my perfect breakfast! They have all kind of Bagels and toppings. I will for sure come back to try other flavors. read more

Delicious! Pricey, but delicious! 1 bagel: $1.75 Half Dozen (6) bagels: $10 Dozen (12) bagels: $18 I must say, these are some of the best bagels I have ever had. Therefore, although a tad bit pricey, I will absolutely be going back for more! The quality of the bagels are great and the customer service is wonderful! Additionally, all their bagels (minus the cheese bagel and egg bagel) are vegan! read more

Stopped in this morning on my way to work! Cute little café, lots, and lots of decor! Love the smell of fresh bagels, so that was nice. Everybody was very nice and polite. That's where the two stores come in. Other than that, I wouldn't give them any stars, the food is extremely overpriced! $5.50 for a bagel with butter? That's ridiculous. I understand this is a family business and I understand things are handmade, but that is price gouging! And completely over the top. The bagel was nice and soft, but kind of tasteless. Very little butter was on there as well. And they don't give you anything on the side to add more butter. I would not recommend! I would choose to go to another location for a much less expensive option. read more

Very unhappy with the service. One bagel with cream cheese thought it was pricey $5.15 I wanted to buy 12 bagels to take home and the owner wouldn't sell them alone I had to buy at 5.15 each because I have to buy 6 bagels with 6 cream cheese. Doesn't make any sense other than they are trying to make more money selling them individually like that. NEVER COMING BACK, I will be going to my other bagelry places that I know where if I get 6/12 they will happily sell them to me and don't have their ridiculous rule of you can buy as many as you want but will cost 5.15 each Highly recommend West Coast Bagel Co and Goldstein Bagels, my favorite read more

Omg new fav breakfast place. I got the breakfast sandwich here and it was packed with soooo much stuff and the perfect combo of everything I wanted. Bagel is nice and toasted perfectly not too hard not too soft. And idk what sauce they put in the bagel sandwich but it was fantastic. I also got the blended chai drink and it was really good! There are still places that make it better but it was solid Also love the social distancing measures they're taking to keep the place safe. There's a barrier hand sanitizer on the table and they even take ur temperature for u if u need it. After u use the card swipe pad to pay they give u a alcohol wipe to sanitize ur finger after. Also excellent service! Daco( I think that's his name) was so courteous and even bought out Cholula for me as if I was at a restaurant haha. read more

I've always passed this place for years, but never caught it open until recently. Both times were around 7-9AM. There was only one gentleman handling the cashier, taking the orders, and preparing the bagels, but he's super efficient and kind. I've had the breakfast bagel, pizza bagel, and the peanut butter and jelly bagels before. Very affordable, bagels are toasted to perfection, and with 3 whole chalkboards filled with food items, the varieties are endless! read more

Overpriced and the food is not even good. I don't recommend this place. Also, the service is not great.

The bagels here are sooo goood! Love stoping by here for a quick on the go breakfast before class. My favorite is the breakfast with a quick and I get it on a tomato basil bagel. The service is great but sometimes they do get packed so be prepare either wait or call ahead of time if you're in a rush! Definitely worth trying! read more

A relative who used to live around the area, but now lives overseas. They were visiting Cali and they missed the bagels from this place, the shop has a wide variety of tasty bagels and smears. Definitely recommend. read more

Quick orders in the front, large menu to choose from, and nice people making your food. Got the classic lox and it was pretty big in portion, layers of salmon, and fresh ingredients on top. This was about $11 which I think is decently priced. They are short staffed, but just be a little more patient and support local businesses! read more

Always delicious food, friendly staff. Lines can be long, but worth the wait. Happy to support small business.

The best bagel spot I've tried in the area. The owners are so nice and friendly. The bagels are delicious. Not too soft like some other places I won't mention. It's a very cute corner store that is usually busy (which says a lot), because it's really good. My go to is the cucumber avocado with lemons pepper and capers. The club bagel sandwich is good. I love the Jalepeno cheddar bagel with veggie cream cheese as well. If I want sweet all of the sweet bagels are good as well. Check out Clearwater. read more

Great selection of fresh bagels. The owner is super nice and friendly. I love their salmon cream cheese and jalapeño cream cheese. I always make sure to get a medium tub to last me two weeks. Their iced coffee is really good and strong, just enough milk the way I like it. read more

Clearwater Bagel - Jalepeno and cheese bagel @choychowdown - Bagels Near Me - Walnut, California

I was desperately craving a lox bagel, and was so happy to find out that a bagel shop right next to me carried them! The reviews for Clearwater made me excited to try it as well. You're able to customize your bagel by selecting what bagel you want as your base. The lax bagel was around $12. Although the staff was super nice and service was fast (only waited around 5-10 minutes), the lox bagel was not up to my expectations! I thought that it was wayyy too salty, and although I love cream cheese, they slathered so much onto the bagel that it tasted very off. At first, I thought the capers is what made it too salty, so I removed them, but it was still really salty. I later found out it was the bagel and the smoked salmon that was literally drenched in salt. read more

Clearwater bagel went through a new ownership and we were really worried because it's a gem but after trying the new bagel the last couple of years with a new ownership for some reason they've made it better amazing service and the bagel is way better and yes, still a local gem read more

I usually don't like to jump into conclusions this fast. This is only my first time trying their bagels. But from the friendly service by Tracy to the superb texture and flavor of the bagels, I know there's no reason to wait for another try. These are some amazing bagels. Tracy was very patient in explaining their products and not pushing to sell anything. Now I know her confidence come from her products. We got honey, chocolate, cheese, aloha, and everything. I'd like to say everything are amazing (no puns intended). We'll definitely come back again soon. read more

Best bagels in the San Gabriel Valley. The folks that run this joint are awesome and always friendly. Get there early if you want one of their popular bagels but you really can't go wrong with their selection. read more

YUM. I was not disappointed with my garden bagel sandwich + egg whites (inspired by the Yelper who posted it on here first- thanks)! The only thing that could've made it better was if they added red onions but apparently there's a salmonella breakout with red onions soooo I can do without for now lol. I did read comments about their service but the woman who was behind the register was kind to me but also, I just ordered my food and walked out lol. Glad I chose to eat here for lunch today, will definitely return. Need to try their iced coffee next time! Ps. I ordered their garlic bread and they def gave me GARLIC bread! It was awesome lol read more
