Classic Lox Bagel $14
Rickey S.

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.

Cucumber, Avocado and Capers Bagel

This is one of my favorite post-hike stops on Sunday mornings. I can taste the love they put into these bagels and spreads made in-house. They are exquisitely delicious! Thank you to the kind and lovely family that owns this establishment for your contribution to the community!

Onion bagel with plain cream cheese
Cindy M.

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!

Ham, egg, and cheese on a cheese bagel

Bagels are fantastic, owner is incredibly friendly. Highly recommend this place. We had two ham, egg, and cheese bagel sandwiches and they came out fast and perfect.

The Godfather

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.

** 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.

S'more Bagel

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ask the Community - Clearwater Bagel

Are you open on Mother's Day 5/14?

Is this business still open? I keep on getting a recording asking to enter my phone number.

They are open I was there last week their phone line was down at the time they always post live updates on their instagram I think that's the best to get a hold of them at the moment

Do they sell the bagel sandwiches in the morning when it opens or is it just breakfast bagels?

They have a good selection of bagel sandwiches eg. blt, vegan bagel, lox and bagel , Chicken salad tuna salad sandwiches and my favorite is the Korean bulgogi beef , as far as I know breakfast is serve all day

Do they do phone orders so you don't have to wait?

I just called them before I go in that way the lady will tell me which bagel they still have left and the waiting part it depends on how busy they are because they are only letting one customer to go tin at a time so hope that answer your questions

Are any of their bagels vegan friendly? I used to love coming here around my high school/SAC days.

Yes they have veggie and vegan sandwiches and if I'm not mistaken all of their bagel is vegan expect for the egg bagel

Do they take apple pay android pay?

If you meant apple pay they do, but not sure abt android pay

Do you sell cream cheese in large tubs?

Yes they do

How many have you ever tried Clearwater bagels? Do you agree with me it's awesome?

Hands down !!!!!

It's different from your typical bagel shop, with a subtle Korean twist that makes everything feel unique. Even their plain bagel is incredible, with the perfect crisp on top. I always order the lox, and their cream cheese is hands down some of the best I've had. For sweet options, the blueberry wine and cinnamon walnut bagels are so good. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. Sometimes they even give out free pastries if you come at the right time, and they are always happy to help. Their coffee is also really solid, especially the brown sugar coffee. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. It has easily become my go to local bagel spot.

They now have an order on screen menu/ option but still can order the old school way too I always get the avocado bagel it's my go to fave thing! I will say I liked it more when they paired it with a side salad they had this yummy vinaigrette sauce along with it, now they just give a scoop of potato salad which wouldn't be my first choice lol so I usually leave that behind. I have tried the pastrami which is also good! Go early cause they don't have a lot of bagel options or baked goods after 11am! Italian sodas a must! Especially since I'm not a coffee drinker! Will be back soon

So Fresh & Delicious!…read more I tried C&R Fresh Foods for the first time a week ago. I did some research on Yelp to see the menu and recommended options. I was craving a wrap so why not come give em a try. The parking lot has plenty of spaces as it located on the long strip mall in this part of West Covina. The location is pretty chill and quiet outside of the TV playing soccer. The staff who took my order was friendly and allowed me to try sample some smoothies. I came there for the BLT wrap with avocado. My order was served within a few minutes. The staff offered jalapeños on the side as well and constantly checked in with me. I was happy with this wrap! The freshness of the veggies and the crunch from the bacon was perfect. One specific detail I'd have to mention was the cream cheese they use in the wrap. It elevated that wrap it to a new level and brought out all the flavors. I'd return again just for this item. Good customer overall with great food. Come by and try out C & R Fresh Foods! ( ^_^)b

This place has one of the freshest and most delicious smoothies! Came here not expecting much but…read morewas pleasantly surprised. The owner gave us a bunch of free samples to try which I found to be all delicious. I ended up getting a Strawberry Banana Orange smoothie and it was so good! You can taste that they use fresh fruit to make their smoothies. My family also got the Blueberry Banana smoothie. This one was also surprisingly delicious and a bit unique as it had a slight nutty flavor to it. I think the drinks here are made better than Jamba Juice or Robeks. And you'd be supporting a small shop! Overall, this spot is great and the owner is really cool! He was super amiable, and you could tell how much he cares about his business. I'll definitely come back for their smoothies and to try their food items!

Needed a place to get some work day and Outpost Coffee really came in clutch…read more There were plenty of parking available in a plaza which is shared with other businesses. I went on a weekday before noon and had no issues with finding a spot. For ordering, they had a kiosk inside with pictures for reference as well. It does accept American Express. After ordering, it only took a few minutes before it was ready. As for the atmosphere, there were a few other people, but they were mindful of noise. The music was also moderate, so I was able to focus without any earphones. There was plenty of seating from the center table to seating at the wall and even window seats. There were outlets available near seatings at the wall. There was also free WiFi as well. At first it indicated you would only have WiFi access for 1 hour. However, after the hour, I reconnected and it refreshed the timer. For my coffee, I decided to get an iced Dalgona latte. They provided many pieces of Dalgona. I did ask to get this at regular sweetness and ice. Overall, after the Dalgona dissolved with the ice, it felt like a good amount of sweetness. It was decent, but I've come back to try other drinks!

Apparently all locations of the Mugs have been bought out and rebranded. The location in DB is now…read morerebranded as Outpost Coffee. It appears that they are still in their transition phase as there are still signs of "the Mugs" throughout, including the same menu and company info poster. I got the Banana Caramel latte and it is so good! Slight sweet banana flavor but doesn't overpower the espresso so it still tastes like a coffee drink. Plenty of seating for working and just hanging out. Parking is plentiful, staff is nice, just wish the noise of the refrigerator case wasn't so loud so I could enjoy the background music.
