The bagel itself was delicious and the spot has a cool atmosphere. For a place called "East Coast Bagels," it feels like they're aiming to replicate that East Coast style, but the bagel could definitely use more cream cheese. It was a little light on the spread. The space is small but has a nice vibe. The only thing that was a bit confusing was figuring out where to order...some clearer direction or signage, especially if there's a line, would help. The price point wasn't too bad, but it also wasn't the best compared to other bagel spots. Overall still a good bagel and a chill place to stop by, just a few small things that could make the experience even better. read more

Busy busy but definitely worth the wait. This place smells of deliciousness and freshly baked goodies! Ample selection of bagels :) Took a Veggie Special to-go: the lady the registrar took care of adding plenty of napkins, such a nice touch! Bagels, breakfast and sandwiches (oh and I almost forgot coffees) there's something for everyone! Highly recommended! read more

definitely the bagel spot to go to in riverside. been going here since college. I was back in town, and after a few years everything is still the same. solid price & quality. tends to get busy on weekends. food: Salmon Lox Bagel w/ garlic bagel. good and very filling salmon lox bagel. they definitely don't cheap out on the salmon so you're getting your moneys worth!! coffee: handful of different options. not the best tasting but it doesn't the trick. plus, free refills. there's creamer and sugar. service: standard. ambiance: old diner vibes, good amount of seating. parking: gets a little busy Sunday brunch time read more

Nice little spot in Canyon Crest area. Has indoor and outdoor seating and the inside looks nice and clean with musical posters along the walls. The cashier was nice and I was able to order quickly. I ordered the Chorizo bEGGel on a Jalapeño & cheese bagel. It comes with chorizo, egg, and cheese. The bagels are cooked perfectly and the are made fresh daily. The food was nice and hot and made to order. Will be back to try more of their bagels selections. read more

Ordered the extreme avocado melt and it was delicious!! Nice little spot and the workers are very friendly. This was my first time here and I will definitely come back again!! read more

Bagels are really good. The chicken melt and avocado bagels are my go to. Jalapeno cream cheese is good as well. Im not really a bagel person but i appreciate the density of these bagels. Service is eh but the bagels make up for it. Cream cheese too. read more

It's a deal breaker when a bagel shop does not have good coffee options. We are decaf coffee drinkers, ordered two cups only to discover their only decaf option is flavored vanilla. What? Makes no sense at all. So I switched to caffeinated which was cooked down and bitter. Ruined our experience. This shop in Canyon Crest is very busy in a Saturday morning. Lots of loyal customers apparently. The bagel sandwiches we ordered were OK but not awesome. We ordered a chorizo on a sour dough but the bagel seemed to be a normal plain. We also ordered ham?, spinach and mushroom on an Asiago jalapeño bagel which was the best part of the experience....that bagel. The specialty bagels in the case looked larger and yummier than regular size bagels. I'd recommend those bagels with cream cheese. The sandwiches were just fair. I would have a hard time returning with Starbucks in this plaza and an independent coffee shop around the corner. read more

East Coast Bagel is definately worth the stop if you are in the Riverside area! It is conveniently located off the Martin Luther exit off the 60 fwy in a quaint shopping area near UC Riverside. You can get a delicious bagel and coffee for under 12.00 bucks. They have a selection of sandwiches and cold and hot coffees. I opted for simple bagel and cream cheese and hot coffee. So simple and satisfying because the warm bagel with perfect chew and melted cream cheese was heavenly! They have a lot of coffee choices in carafes. After tasting all of the caffeinated, the best one was the Vietnamese coffee. The least bitter and it was strong and needed minimal half and half and sugar. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is indoor and outdoor seating! check it out and find your fav bagel! read more

Best bagels in town! Don't know what to do near UCR ? Go to east coast bagels. They have the friendliest staff members and has the best seating options. Usually my friends and I will sit outside for the weather! My usual is basically any savory or garlicky bagel as a bacon melt. Let me know how it is the next time you stop by East Coast :D read more

Bagel was good, service was absolute garbage. The girl taking orders was miserable and rude. Will not return for this simple fact.

This is what I'm talking about when I say "I'm in the mood for a bagel"! The menu is straight forward, what kinda bagel do you want? Do you want it to be a sandwich? They have breakfast, deli, and hot sandwiches to goose from! Inside is always clean but nothing too razzle dazzle. They have other baked goods, the coffee smells heavenly, and there is a grab and go fridge with juice, cream cheese, and other drinks. read more

East Coast Bagel - everything bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Riverside, California

Honestly the food is great. On the other hand the service is not friendly every time I go there.

Fun fact: This cute little Broadway-themed bagel shop has had 3 name changes since they opened over 40 years ago. My mom used to go early on a Saturday when the bagels were super fresh and bring home a mixed dozen and a huge container of their delicious fresh whipped cream cheese. Their bagel sandwiches are great. I like the Veggie burger sandwich. I ordered a simple cream cheese and lox on an onion bagel. I went late in the day around 1 (they close at 2) and the pickins' were slim. So go early. My kids shared a pizza bagel. It has mozzarella and cheddar on it. All 3 of us were very confused about the cheddar. They said it was good, but the cheddar was...unexpected and they would have preferred no cheddar. And honestly, it didn't look appetizing at all. read more

The bagels are so mid. I'm from NY and had heard good things about this place but the bagels are tiny and they literally barely put cream cheese. I paid almost $12 for 2 bagels and got this?!? Will not be going back. I'd recommend NY Bagel Cafe & Deli instead, worth the extra drive. Don't waste your money here. read more

Quick Service! The Lox open Faced Bagel is to die for!! The Ambiance is giving New York

Bagel is hot, taste good. I ordered the spicey deluxe jalapeños. I ate just top of bagel with jalapeños topping. Toppings made bottom of bagel soggy. I did not find the bottom of bagel tasty for this reason. The service was quick. As it was my first time, I did not know what to order. The menu was not explained on fan favorites either. I ordered quickly as the line grew rapidly. Upon receipt of food, I inquired about cream cheese and or butter as they did not come with bagel. My total was $9.66. Spicey deluxe $7.89 and an additional $0.99 for jalapeño. I mistakenly thought the $0.99 was to have cream cheese. Not so. Shop is spacious to accommodate the lines of people. Lines move quickly but a small wait for food. A few seats scattered but not enough for you to come with friends. Stars are for initial hot food. Missing stars for soggy bagel bottom and my hunger still from food I could not eat for soggy purposes. This place has potential. Must do better with giving customers information on what comes with prices paid. read more

There's something about these bagels that just hit the right spot. I love breakfast-based bagels and the option of having spinach and egg in a bagel is not necessarily new, but having a hot bagel with all the right ingredients in the afternoon makes you forget the stress and worries as you bite into that juicy bagel. There is not much I can really complain about for that bagel - the texture, flavors, and size to fit my mouth is all I want in a bagel. The wait is short for your bagel but that bagel is your morning! read more

I've since gone back. There's a completely new staff. Since this place is really close to me and on those busy early mornings a bagel and coffee always hits. I never got my situation resolved but it is what it is. read more

First time here , the staff was friendly and asked if I had any questions . The menu has a good amount of options . I ordered a breakfast meal . The jalapeño bagel was delicious , soft and toasted to perfection . I ate my meal inside , seems like the jalapeño bagel is popular. I kept on hearing customers order it . I wasn't too intrigued about how my egg was cooked with all the veggies which made it a little soggy . I ordered an iced coffee which had a weird taste to it . I had to add a lot of creamer in order to cancel out the weird after taste . The store was clean and organized with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor read more

I love East Coast Bagel, I go here almost every week. I love how their bagels are fresh + they have a wide variety of bagels, my favorite being the Classic Everything Bagel. Regarding their service, the employees are nice and respectful. If you are concerned about timeliness, yes, they are pretty fast. Max, 15 minutes, but even that seems like an overstatement. The restaurant alone is cozy though, I've personally never ate inside but I love being able to sit & wait there. read more

Only actual Bagel shop in the area... there are no real good Bagel selections around this area which is why this place likely has a lot of business... - the Bagels don't have that crisp, sharp flavor that you find at reputable bagel shops... hard to explain. But their overly dense and just soft and flat... like pretzels... as if the recipe has changed over time and devolved into a bagel LIKE product. A 5/10 on a bagel -ish scale if i had to explain it. - No lox available, it was a foreign concept to ask for a side of lox, was gonna get charged a bagel sandwich price to have some on the side.. I was looking for the $10-12 packet you get at trader Joe's, etc. For the office to pick at and put on the bagels with creame cheese... It was gonna be like $60 for "4 portions"... I skipped that. - I like to avoid pork due to health reasons (not Jewish) so I like kosher/Halal places since they tend to be healthier choices... I find it weird that theirs so much pork on everything and no real Kosher option like Turkey or beef sausage/ bacon Overall, this place has lots of choices if you dont mind pork but the flavor falls flat and options are lacking... nothing to write home about. I'll still come back when I'm craving a bagel sandwich but that'll be like once or twice a year instead of the multiple weekly visits. read more

The bagels are very good but telling us to leave 15 min before closing when we had just sat down and opened up our bagels was not a vibe..

I was very excited to try this bagel place today but walked away feeling unsure if I want to return. The bagel itself was delicious but the customer service was terrible. I recently got hired in Riverside and simply did a search to find bagels near my place of employment. This was the first one to come up and it had good reviews. I walked in and was amazed to see all the options they had. It was a little uncoordinated, as there were women waiting at the counter but had already paid, so not sure if they use both counters or what not. I waited patiently to be called after the women were served. I ordered a jalapeno and cheese bagel and asked how spicy the jalapeno cream cheese was. The woman, clearly annoyed, told me "it's spicy, it's jalapeno". I said I understood it's jalapeno and she rolled her eyes and outright said, "so chive or regular". I was taken aback by this. But against my judgement I ordered the jalapeno.... Sometimes they aren't as spicy and being my first time I'm truly wondering how spicy it is, mildly spicy, regular spicy, or a little extra spicy, come on. I then asked if they had any fountain drinks and she looked at me and said "no, just the case", and motioned to the cases of drinks. I ordered a tea, waited for my order, and left. I'm really sad with how this person acted and treated a new customer who is literally stepping in for the first time to their business. Even the woman who gave me my order gave me looks as she stood next to the woman who took my order. I felt like I didn't belong there and just wanted to leave. Not sure if I will go back... But, I will say, despite the two girls ugly type of behavior. The bagel was actually good. It was soft and and had great flavor! The spread was for sure on the more spicy side but still good. It could have used more cream and more on the bagel in general. But that's just me, I guess. I guess we will see other offerings when I decide to go back. read more

My wife raved about the location in Irvine so I found out there was an East Coast Bagel near where we live. We went and this location is bigger and definitely gets more crowded than irvine.

I love this place been coming here forever but whenever I come this, young short girl always gives attitude. I get it gets busy but when I asked for hot sauce she threw it on the counter instead of handing it to me and I asked for the iced coffee that they have in the back (like I usually do) and I just got to the coffee stand and put my creamer and she told me that they have never had that and suggested they only have espresso so I said sure it tasted like burnt expired coffee that was almost 8 dollars read more

I was craving a bagel before work and seen this spot on yelp/google. I wanted to take the opportunity to try them and was super excited when I was going to place my order. They are the only bagel spot that I have encountered that has an Onion and Garlic bagel combo. I was in heaven with the softness and light crunch. Service was okay and the inside gave you an older feel 90s style. I enjoyed this hole in the wall. read more
