First time here, and won't be the last! The bagels here are delicious! They are toasty on the outside and soft on the inside and very flavorful! The staff is very kind and friendly, as well! read more

I used to come here often to get bagels first thing in the morning. Every once in a while, I'll grab a few more to share with my friends. This place has ok/decent bagels, but the lady at the counter has terrible customer service and a horrible attitude. I've always left this bagel store feeling conflicted because of how rudely I'm treated. I started going to Panera instead so that I don't have to deal with her. My friends, who really liked the bagels here from when I brought it for them, came here on their own, skeptical of my story and hoping that it's just my experience. In their first visit here, they were also treated disrespectfully and left in poor taste due to this lady at the counter. They really need to put someone else at the counter. read more

I had an avocado/cucumber on an everything bagel and it was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The lemon pepper was a nice touch that brightened each bite. Maybe it was because I got an everything bagel, but it was a bit salty. Not a complaint because I loved it. Just a note for those who are not into overly salted food. They don't have vegan cream cheese, but they have avocado, jam, and peanut butter. read more

While the bagels are good, as is their iced coffee, I can't in good conscience give more than one star bc of the service. The woman behind the counter is nice enough but rations her bagels out and doesn't let you buy more than a certain amount of one kind of bagel- even if it's less than a dozen- unless you order the day before. And even then she will make comments about how you ordered too many bagels. Happened when I ordered 18 bagels and my dad went to pick them up. He now no longer feels comfortable going to get bagels from here. When trying to get bagels for the house, bc sometimes you decide on the spot and not 24 hours in advance, my mom was told by the woman, "I shouldn't have to tell you that you have to order in advance for more bagels." She also no longer wants to be a patron to your business. Correct me if i'm wrong- but isn't the whole point of a business is to sell your product? If you sell out, you sell out. Why ration out your supply just in case some customers might come later? Close up shop when you sell out. Make more bagels if you're afraid of running out. Sell day old bagels for a discounted price. Seems like common sense, but I guess common sense isn't so common. ‍ Please just do better. read more

Genuinely the best bagel spot I've ever tried! Everything is made fresh that morning and they also have homemade cream cheeses which are my absolute favorite. They close over winter break (same time schools are out) and I will be ordering a plethora of their jalapeno cream cheese to keep me sane through winter. They also have a huge variety of bagels so there really is something for everyone! One thing to add, if you want to purchase loose bagels, especially in high quantities, you MUST call at least 24 hours ahead of time (which I am unsure why people complain about when it makes perfect sense). If they make everything fresh that morning and some bozo comes in taking a 6 of one type of bagel, other people don't get to enjoy that bagel! I saw another review say "Why don't they make more of their popular bagels" but they do! That doesn't mean they have enough for someone to take home that many when they make what they expect to sell. If they made too much, it'd be a waste. It's common sense. They're a small business so definitely be patient with their time, especially in the morning when they're really busy. However, the two people I always see working there (one man & one woman) are so sweet and you can tell they're working hard. Once they have your order, they get it out surprisingly quick and always greet you with a smile. It's definitely good to note that there's no inside seating, only outside due to Covid regulations. It is shaded with a few small tables, but if it's really cold or hot, be ready to eat in your car! read more

Was craving bagels today and did a quick search. Clearwater looked promising but definitely was not expecting to find my go-to bagel shop, but sure happy I did! I am originally from NY and I sure was spoiled with fantastic bagels growing up, until I moved to California and found the bagels to generally be not as good. Clearwater Bagels is an exception. Their bagels are NY styled and are fantastic! They taste like they're straight from the Big Apple. It was my first time so I was only able to purchase five. Six or more requires a preorder. Already planning out my next order haha! read more

It's really hard to find a quality bagel place around me and I was so happy to discover Clearwater a few years ago while attending Mt SAC. This little shop never disappoints from the amazing variety of bagels to the wonderful recommendations from the most welcoming staff. They are a family business and have a small staff, so sometimes there is a wait but it is definitely worth it if you're looking for fresh bagels and a smile with your service. I no longer am in the area as often as I was before, but I still make the drive when I'm craving an open face avocado & lemon pepper sandwich on an everything bagel and a mango strawberry smoothie. read more

Came in at 730 and the door was open but not a soul was inside. Nothing was ready yet. They actually don't open til 8, so I guess there's a bit of a miscommunication there with Yelp? Anyway. Fortunately for me the guy came out after a minute, he was probably setting up and asked me what i wanted and told me what was going to be available immediately. The bagels were literally comin hot out of the ovens so I got to see first hand that I was indeed getting the freshest possible bagels. The lox and plain bagel was amazing, and also their sweet bagels. Their in-house cream cheese is pretty bomb.com as well. I really wish they were open earlier during the week cuz I would love to have this option on my way to work in the mornings. Excellent breakfast spot with a lot of options. The owner is super nice and helpful. Place is decently popular so I can easily see a line building up and having to wait. So calling in might be a good bet, especially if you're in a rush. Parking - it's in the stater bros lot, but closer to BK. So it's never too bad. read more

I have loved this bagel place for a long long time. Their breakfast sandwich bagels are amazing and the couple that owns this place are not only kind but also a part of the community. Please remember that they are a small hardworking business and make their bagels from scratch. They aren't like McDonald's where they can give you as much as you'd like on the spot - their quality is much more than that. The only reason they ask for you to call ahead of big orders is to be fair to their customers that did call ahead of time or just want a simple bagel but won't be able to get any if you ordered twenty of them just in the moment. Besides that, they truly care!! And aim to please their customers. They are the type of people that will ask you about your day and try to help you out even if they have a lot of orders at once. Let's not tear down an amazing business just because there are Karens that have a fit when don't get what they want right away. Also pls pls try their rosemary bagel, as well as the sun dried tomato basil. The breakfast sandwich with sausage and a little lemon pepper on tomato is SO good. I can honestly eat at this place for days and never get sick of it. read more

I got a Garden Bagel on a Rosemary Olive Oil bagel, loaded with fresh veggies and avocado, mustard, and egg whites added. It was an absolute monster of a sandwich but somehow still managed to disappear in one sitting. I also got the Egg Cheese Bacon Breakfast Sandwich on the Onion Bagel. It was bursting with flavor and aroma that definitely made it the best breakfast bagel sandwich I've had. They also have seasonal specials, including a Pumpkin Bagel and Pumpkin Cream Cheese, and special offers when you buy in bulk. They have so many bagel and cream cheese flavors to choose from, you're guaranteed to find a flavor you like. If you're ever in the Walnut area, make sure to give this place a try! read more

Love this little mom and pop shop. All of their bagels are so fresh and delicious. Their nova salmon cream cheese is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Staff is always so nice and welcoming.

Come early because they sell out of the yummy flavors, never disappointed when I come here. read more

Came here to try out new bagel places near my home. The bagels are okay but the owner or the lady that works here is hilarious. She kept charging me for wrong items and made so many mistakes on my order. No apologies. She just keeps yelling at me "that's what you ordered!!" Geez. Customer service here needs to be upgraded. Bageloo in Diamond Bar is much much better with better customer service and much more pastry choices!! read more

A local treasure! This is my favorite place to get a bagel! The bagels are so light and fluffy in the middle, and the outside gets so crispy- it's the closest I've ever had to an NYC bagel here in California! Their cream cheese is really good as well! It's super fluffy, creamy and a little bit sweet, it makes the perfect pair with their bagels! The inside of the store is beautiful, the display of bagels makes it tempting to want to chose one of each! The service is incredibly fast, you get your bagel minutes after ordering, perfect if you're in a rush and need a good breakfast on the go! read more

Best bagel spot ever!!! I ordered one dozen for Mother's Day, they came super fresh and all the bagels were delicious. I was so happy with my Mother's Day breakfast.

Ever since Tracy and her husband André took over Clearwater Bagel, we've been coming here at least once a week. They totally renovated the interior, so it's much more conducive to hangout for breakfast or brunch. What's really sweet is that if we bring our dog, Tracy and her husband make sure we have a patio table and chair for us to sit outside. They even brought our puppy a water! The bagels are amazing! Everything is made from scratch. My partner and I and our friends have tried so many things on the menu. Some of my favorite ones are the pizza bagel, tuna melt, and The Godfather. If you're feeling a healthier option, try the lox or the cranberry turkey. Sooo good! The coffee and fresh squeezed OJ are on point too. Anyway, I just love the atmosphere they've created. They've really made it a welcoming environment, which is why we're here every week. read more

Always providing fresh and delicious bagels, it pleases consumers. However, it is unfortunate that the friendliness towards customers is a little lacking. It is a bakery that opens only in the morning, and she has to work the counter alone, so I try to understand, but not all morning restaurants or bakeries are like that without a smile. It seems that the tired look, blunt answers, and face always bother the customers who greet the morning. But tasty work good . read more

I love this place and I go here every time I'm in the area! The bagels are made fresh and are the best I've ever had!! My go to is lox on everything bagel and a coffee. read more

Practical bagel shop. Usually when you go to a cafe they don't have all the classic flavor of any cream cheese options. Clearwater has almost every flavor you could imagine and creative cream cheese options. I got the blueberry bagel with plain cream cheese and the sundried tomato bagel with their veggie spread. Both were warm and had the perfect crispy/fluffiness! read more

I had my first job here, 11 years and 2 owners ago! The bagels have always been good, but the business practices at the time were... questionable. I kid you not, to knead the dough, the owner used to cover it with plastic wrap and sit on it lol The current owners have really spruced this place up. The original menu still stands with some new selections, the shop is clean and cute, and the bagels are just as awesome as the new owners are. The garden bagel or the cucumber avocado on spinach parmesan is my favorite. 100% would recommend this place to anyone who doesn't have issues with carbs or gluten, even a skeptical East Coaster. read more

Third time here and this place never disappoints with the care they have for their customers! We waited 15 mins maybe 20 mins for our food but it didn't feel long. Since they told us that they were in the process of making more bagels. Once we got our food which was perfect and made with no mistakes; The owner came out and gave us 10% discount for the next time we visit! I was so shocked cause it didn't feel like a long wait but we gladly accepted and we will be back again! read more

I've been passing by this place for years and never tried it til now. Glad that I finally got the chance to try it. I got out of school early and thought I'd stop by for some breakfast since I was craving bagels. I'm a fan of cream cheese so the Lux bagel caught my attention but so did the turkey bagel sandwich lol. I ended up getting both and they were both delicious. There are sooo many choices of bagels to choose from that I didn't know where to start. I definitely need to come back soon and try the other ones. I got the everything bagel for the lux and the honey for the turkey sandwich. The lady in the front was so kind and helpful with answering all my questions and even gave me mints! Tyyyy :) I will be back! read more

I love love love LOVE this bagel shop. I have been coming here for over 2 years now and I can't find any other bagel place like this. I pretty much live and breathe Clearwater bagels. The service though is really what has me coming back (besides the fact that the bagels are so good.) It's basically a mom and pop bagel shop and the owners are husband and wife and are the nicest people I have ever met. They even remembered my order (which is super specific) after like the 2nd time ordering it. I can come MONTHS later and they still remember my order, that's amazing! Please keep in mind though that they are short staffed and it's usually just them; however they work so hard to make sure you don't notice. They are also always super apologetic if service takes too long and keep you updated with wait times. I'm not sure why the bad reviews state they're not apologetic, when that's all I've ever experienced! I highly recommend this place, 10/10! I get the breakfast with a kick, no onions, mustard, or avocado and I add jalapeño cream cheese . Usually I do the Jalapeño cheese bagel but I'll substitute with any other bagel if it's out (it's popular so sometimes it is!) read more

I explained that it was my first time there, so I wasn't sure what to get and he gave me a couple suggestions which was so kind! I ended up going with the Pacific bagel on a rosemary olive oil bagel (which was recommended) and a cinnamon sugar bagel!! When I tell you that this food is amazing I'm not joking! I love a good breakfast bagel sandwich and Clearwater bagel has definitely surpassed my expectations and is a new favorite for sure! I will definitely be coming back! read more

I grew up in Walnut and it's my first time going. I would always pass by this place and idk why it just looked empty and I thought it was one of those businesses that would eventually closed down. Little did I know that it really was a hidden gem here in Walnut. If you want more breakfast options coming from Starbucks I highly recommend coming here! I ordered a coffee and instead of getting the basic bagel there I decided to go here. The decor is cute and you can tell that they dont try to overcharge you like those mainstream places. There are also TONS of options with the bagels. I ordered a bagel with onions, cheese, eggs, lettuce, and mayo on a tomato and basil bagel. It was around $7 but it filled me up. It was just simple and good. I actually had to save it for my lunch because it was so filling. I love small businesses like this and I will for sure come again. read more

This place was so good. Great COVID safety measures and the woman who took our order (I think the business owner) even had a mic so I could hear her better through the mask and face shield! Legit, that was awesome. I love the decorations and DAMN the bagels were so good. I got my mom the bagel with lox and she liked it so much she couldn't stop saying mmmmmmmmm. My daughter and I both had everything bagels and I liked it so much I had to steal half of my daughters. Yeah... that's right... this place is so good you'll steal from young children just to score some more bagel. read more

gosh omg my GOSHHHHHHH! the bagels were so freakin good!! i just got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese, and it literally blew my socks off! i always get that same order at starbucks and other bagels places, but my goodness this was the best bagel place ever! the inside was cute, and the service was awesome. the chef was so sweet! read more

Thank you Tracy and Deko you guys provided fast and friendly service. I'm glad you guys took over this place you bring positive vibes keep up the great job. It's a small place with amazing deliciousness I like the new look it's clean it's comfy the bagels were still soft they weren't hard they weren't too crunchy they were like perfect. Now I know what all the hype is when it comes to eating the "Classic Lox Bagel" that salmon cream cheese and bagel with all the toppings was beautiful and the portion size was large and delicious. I can't believe you can make a bagel taste and look so beautiful and delicious. My drink was way better than Starbucks for sure. I definitely recommend this place to pretty much everybody. It's perfect for breakfast or brunch very filling. Thank you for providing hand sanitizer and keeping up the outside with no trash it's very inviting. read more

Truly the best bagels I've ever had... I love Noah's bagels and I want to say this is better. Their bagels are super moist and soft -- they also have the best combinations and options. Their service is spectacular every time I visit and order over the phone. My all time favorites are the salmon lox (best ever), avocado/cucumber/lemon pepper and egg/ham/cheese. 100/10 read more

I really miss this place. This was my goto spot for breakfast during my Mt. Sac days. Solid place and really nice staff. As I write this, I am thinking of the Aloha bagel. Think crystalized sugar and caramelized, crunchy coconut on a soft bagel. Still the best bagel I've ever had. Whenever I get back to Cali, I will have to visit again. Very happy to see that they are still open and surviving during COVID. read more

The amount of cream cheese they put on, I could share with 4 other people. I had been raving about this place, because my old boss would get it for us. Finally was in the area and decided to stop by, to be disappointed. The girls were friendly, and the bagel alone is good, but next time I'll get the cream cheese on the side. read more

They had limited of bagels, no cream or milk for coffee. The wait was too long for the quality of food you're getting. The bagel was very hard, the inside was over seasoned and the cost was too much. Our coffee was good considering we had to drink it black. I won't be coming back again. read more

I've stopped in here for breakfast twice on the way to work, and both times it has been delicious! I've had their breakfast sandwich on the jalapeño cheese bagel twice so far, and it was great both times, very consistent in flavor and quality! I've also had a few of their bagels by themselves, and they were great too. I really like the cinnamon raisin bagel! While their food is great, I feel like the shining star here is their customer service. They are SO nice and SO friendly, even first thing in the morning! Also, they've been super great about COVID precautions. Gloves, masks, distancing, and safety glass/plastic. Plus they give you an alcohol pad to wipe you hands after you touch the screen to sign (if you use card), and they have hand sanitizer at both the order and pickup window! All in all, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good breakfast and tasty bagels! read more
