Well, the long awaited H&H bagels is here! And I am not disappointed at all. I've gone there twice this week. I first had a everything bagel with plain cream cheese spread today. I just left and had a turkey bacon sandwich way too big for me but very tasty and I have a dozen bagels with lox spread for the family. I highly recommend food is great. Customer service is excellent. I can't say anything else other than I am very pleased and highly recommend. read more

Such Good Bagels! I'm from the east coast and these bagels are legit. Also the service was great. The place was packed which was no problem for us because our server Adam was an excellent combo of very friendly and fast on his feet. Highly recommend this shop. read more

I love the food, love the customer service; remarkable. Very thankful to have eaten there.

H&H is absolutely delicious and the best bagels in the area! We ordered a Cinnamon Raisin bagel and a Jalapeño Cheddar... however I think the JC ended up being an Asiago on accident! Regardless of the mishap, these were to die for! Perfectly cooked, flavored and amount of cream cheese. Had about a 10 min line on a Monday morning!! Will definitely be back when I'm back in town!! read more

Stopped by H&H today. I typically drive from Rancho Mirage to Townies in Palm Springs to get bagels. I was looking forward trying H&H and enjoy a Jalapeño Cheddar bagel. Unfortunately so was everyone else. They were sold out of those by 8:30 am. Bought a 1/2 dozen of Asiago Cheese and Plain. The bagels were very good. Feedback would be rearrange your ordering line. 90% of the counter area was empty while people waited pre-counter, in line outside. Put your cash register on the opposite side so people can order and move down the line allowing more customers to wait inside rather than outside. Especially before we hit summer. Townies has a good process with even longer lines. read more

Go for normal Bagels, not for the hype. If you go because you heard their bagels are New York bagels, you'll be pretty disappointed like I was. I got the Class BEC (Bacon, Egg, & Cheese) on a Jalapeno Cheese bagel and an Everything bagel with a side of scallion cream cheese. Pros: - Everything Bagel had seasoning on both top and bottom. Is a really nice touch as not many people do that. - The cream cheese was rich, thick, creamy, and had a decent amount of scallions. - Bagels are pumped and pushed out so almost everything is fresh. - Customer service is great! They handle complaints from customers really well and professionally. - Generally kept very clean and tidy Cons: - The bagel was dense and flat rather than puffy, chewy, and soft. - The Class BEC had a lack of flavor and was dependent on the Bacon and Chipotle Mayo. The eggs tasted like there was no seasoning and were not fluffy at all. Cheese was gathered only in the middle. - I ordered in-person, took about 20mins to get into the door and took an additional 20 minutes to get my Classic BEC. An appeal of grabbing a bagel is because it's quick, not the case here. I also overheard some people who ordered online and went inside to pick up their order only to be told to wait 15-20minutes more. As someone who works in NYC and gets bagels at local bodegas every morning, I don't think it's fair for people to write reviews or post on social media claiming H&H is trying to be like New York bagels. It's not fair to the consumers nor the business. As a consumer, if you want to check out the buzz and see what people are talking about, check out H&H but don't expect much read more

4 star bagel shop here in Palm desert. Bagels are good, better than any bagel I've yet to eat here in the valley. The line moves fast, staff is very friendly and the place is clean, convenient and it's easy to see what bagels are for sale. Cold brew coffee is 5 star delicious. I understand how the flow works, but kinda redundant telling my order to the person making my bagel order then telling the cashier again what my order is. I don't mind it per se, but the lady in front of me orders about 8 items and had to repeat her order again after trying to remember and clarify her order to the checkout employee. I want to try their cinnamon babka. I also hope to see bialy on their menu someday. read more

After driving by since opening day-- and seeing the lines a yards long-- I got lucky today before noon with nobody in the queue! I ordered a toasted onion bagel with Tuna salad and it was delicious. I want to return and try their Nova Lox which I heard is awesome. A BIG shout out to employee ALEX who is so warm and has a great attitude! I went back to purchase a bagel to go and the next thing I know Alex comes out from behind the counter to personally take my order!! Who does that?? A wonderful employee who is customer focused!! Great Job H&H and great job Alex. Highly recommend!! read more

The long line out the door was not only worth the wait but it gave me time to reactivate my ego as a New Yorker. You know the one, where I'm the only possible one in the entire joint whoever truly tasted a bagel. No one could tell me nothin'! I thought for sure these wouldn't hit. Skepticism, our new york guiding light, but alas and lucky for them, I was wrong. These are boiled in New Yawk watuh and flown here for baking. The taste passed my test. My NY bagel order is an Egg Everything Bagel with Veggie Cream Cheese on one side and Butter on the other. And ya eat it split, duh. They didn't have that so I went with an Everything bagel with scallion tomato bacon cream cheese on one side and butter on the other. I was skeptical about the bacon because California bacon is different than NY. Fight me about it if you're a local but you're wasting your time. So is the butter. But they for sure ship these items in with the bagels. I CAN TELL. This bagel was top notch or at least the toppest notch I've had since I left NY so it will do. The bagel flavor choices are incredibly Californian. But as discussed with staff, let them get establish and gain their bearings. Which means, y'all need to go check them out and eat some of their bagels so they can give us the real New Yawkuh experience one day. @HHBagels is a must stop when you're in the desert and can't back home to New Yawk. Don't forget your ego and the little mini apple juices, you know the ones! 5 out of 5 stars because, well, I'm nicer now that I live on the west coast. read more

Visited H & H Bagel Shop (Super Happy with our visit!) in Palm Desert on Country Club near Monterey. We were there the Sunday the week after they opened, and had a 30 min. wait. Went back again Tuesday and the wait was shorter. We enjoyed the NY style bagels! My Hubby & I both worked in NYC for 30+ years. There is no where in the Desert that has this type of bagel! They have such a variety of spreads too! There are plenty of seats to enjoy your food/drink! We also stopped by later in the week... The owner (a very young guy) was there twice and remembered us. He's very friendly! His Father in law also works there. read more

1st and Foremost. The place has been open for business for a couple of days. For the people leaving a bad review because you had to wait in line? Get a life. Thats what happens when something new pops up. People want to try it. Not the businesses fault that you don't want to wait and your privilege is irrelevant. To the New Store. Customer service was on point. They're getting ppl in and out pretty quickly. Then you pay and obviously wait a bit depending on what you get as they make it fresh to order. Speed will naturally pick up as they get more practice in. For some it was their 2nd day. Bagels were really good! Cream cheese was delicious. I got Plain, Strawberry and Scallion. I will be back and will probably be a weekly visit personally and for our Job. read more

They're finally open. Great, friendly staff and a pleasant, modern atmosphere. The bagels were fabulously good, very "authentic NY bagels". I'm a little biased because I know the owner but they have truly exceeded my expectations. I'll be back again and again. read more

We threw a pool party and ordered H&H and oh my goodness the bagels were so good!! Honestly, the best bagel I've ever had. 10/10

The desert really needed this bagel place!! I ordered the Southwest Turkey sandwich on the jalapeño cheddar bagel. I also added a layer of scallion cream cheese. The ingredients were all FRESH! The bagel was perfect, not chewy. The have a cream cheese "bar" where you can select various flavors of cream cheese and they have all the typical flavors of bagels. Theres also a breakfast sandwich menu which I will try next time. The service was great. At this time, there is a consistent line out the door, so don't come if youre in a hurry. Give them some grace and patience. Grand Opening is on Thursday April 16. The lobby was busy and full but not a stressful environment at all. The staff is working so hard to get people in and out as quickly as possible. There's seating for only about 20 people. But its spacious enough for waiting room. I hope H&H bagels does very well and stays around for a very long time. read more

The bagels were absolutely amazing. The cinnamon was a little bit hard to chew through, but our other bagels were sooo good. I'm a die hard jalepeno cheddar bagel gal, and I'm so glad they were stocked by the chance we go to order. We waited about an hour to order which is typical for a business that's new, especially during festival weekend. I'm curious to see what the wait time will be in upcoming months. They for-sure need a better ordering system to keep the line flowing. I appreciate all the employees working hard back there to meet a high bagel need in the Coachella Valley. There were plenty of seating arrangements inside, but we took ours to go. Regardless, the bagels were good but hopefully they get the line moving quicker to meet the demands. Thank you :) read more

The food is fresh and made to order, the staff is friendly and warm, the area for improvement is the long wait and inability to order ahead ("skip the line"). After waiting about 35 mins, we stepped up to the bagel area and gave our order to the staff over a tall glass. There were moments because of volume was a little hard to hear, but they wrote it down on a paper bag and then we moved on to pay the cashier and repeated the order. Waited just a few minutes (less than 10) for the food order to be completed and coffee drinks were provided by the cashier. A huge area for opportunity to increase sales volume, increase foot traffic and limit wait time is to remove the inefficiency of telling the order to the staff and having them write it down and retell it to the cashier. Getting an electronic menu and payment system would cut down the long lines leading out door. The food is good, but for the time we waited im not entirely convinced it was worth it although I can say the food was fresh and tasty. There are just other places that have a more efficient ordering system with little to no wait times. I'd love to say I'd go back, but with that long of a line it'd be a hard sell. read more

Shout out to AJ! Consistent, great bagel sandwiches, service, and overall great vibes. This is my go to for breakfast! read more

After patiently waiting three weeks to try the new H&H Bagels, I finally stopped in around 1:30 one afternoon last week and was thrilled to see no line. I grabbed a late lunch and it was everything I hoped for--and more. Having lived in the Coachella Valley for seven years, I've always been surprised that we didn't have a true bagel franchise here. That's why I applaud Brian Murphy for going out and finding the best authentic "New York" bagel and bringing it home to the desert. Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to return--I went back the very next day and bought a dozen! If you've been craving a real New York-style bagel in the Coachella Valley, this is the place. read more

Finally, the Coachella Valley has a bagel spot worth getting excited about. H&H Bagels has brought something that has been missing for a long time, a genuinely solid East Coast style bagel experience right here in Palm Desert. I have been there twice now, and both visits left me with a really good feeling about the place. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming and well thought out. It is not just about the food, which is great, but the overall vibe they have created. The staff is consistently friendly, upbeat, and attentive, which makes a big difference whether you are grabbing something quick or sitting down to enjoy your breakfast. What really stood out, though, was the level of care from the owners themselves. They were actually working the line, welcoming customers, introducing themselves, and answering questions about the menu. That kind of hands on presence makes the experience feel personal and genuine. All around, it feels like more than just another new spot, it feels like something the valley has needed for a while. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. Definitely a welcome addition to Palm Desert. read more

Bagels are excellent! So fresh and soft on the inside. I bought a dozen to take home to share with my big eaters at home. I did half a dozen asiago cheese and half a dozen jalapeño cheddar. Great choices! We made bagels sandwiches at home for a few days. I also got an iced coffee to go. I love that you can customize your coffee drink at the self serve station. There are about four to five milk choices, and several sweeteners to choose from as well. I'll be a regular. The service is great too! read more

Waited for 1 hr 30 minutes for a dozen slices not toasted bagels and cream cheese... No hot food! Only for them to get my order wrong and take forever to hand me my order the guy behind me ordered the same thing I did and got his order 15 minutes before me. Bagels were okay cream cheese was good but I didn't to try the spicy scallion because they gave me a side of lox instead. Not worth the wait especially bc they will get your order wrong there were at least 3 other people who had to return orders that were wrong. read more

I'll give them 3 stars for now for transparency into needing to work out some kinks. First off, the staff is very friendly and service was pretty quick. The bagel (everything bagel with spicy sausage etc.) was just ok. It was not toasted enough. When I was there, there was a line going out the door. So the person waiting at the door has to manage keeping the door closed until it's their turn. And the staff yells at you for keeping the door open. If they plan to be busy all the time, they need to figure out the line system better. The sign with all the items to order is not fully visible while you wait in line. There should be a menu handout or something visible earlier in the line. The ordering system is broken. You verbally order from someone in the start of the queue and then you verbally repeat it to the register again. Flip the line the other way so you order once at the register. They advertised downloading the app all over the store, but the app wasn't fully working. I got my points for my first order by giving my phone number to the nice person at the register. I'll defitely come back and try again after a while to see if they've ironed out some things. read more

Great bagels and I love the fact that they use New York water. My lox sandwich was delicious and so was the breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and sausage. All the bagels looked fantastic and fresh. They just recently opened, so Business is strong and you generally have to wait in Line. But a great addition to the Coachella Valley. read more

I am so happy we finally have a real NY style bagel place in the CV. The only other one that I know of is Townie's in PS, and their bagels are pretty disappointing. The bagels at H & H are wonderful, however the service needs a lot of improvement. Very slow service leading to long lines. Like others have already commented, it would be great if they would have a different line for people just ordering bagels, rather than bagel sandwiches. Many people would really appreciate that. In any case, we will try coming again after another few weeks, and hopefully the service will improve. If not, we probably won't be coming here very often. read more

Waited in line 30 minutes only to find they were out of the bagels we wanted. If they had smarter management, they'd have updated info in a chalkboard outside so people would not have to waste their time. Also, don't bother with their website or app. Standing outside, I tried to order in advance but the store is not included in their list of locations. I was directed to Echo Park or somewhere in Florida! read more

I visited H&H Bagels in Rancho Mirage for the first time this morning. As I waited briefly in line, I picked up the ambience of the place as upbeat, focused and relaxed. Customers ranged in age from those in advanced years and to the the very young. Service was responsive, knowledgeable and eager to help. The food was fresh, tasty and of great value for the price. I highly recommend H&H Bagels to anybody who has an appetite and/or love for bagels. Catherine L. read more

OMG! So fresh! Line is totally worth the wait! I love their BEC on jalapeño cheddar bagels.... Wow! Truly amazing to see the owner jump in and assist and get to know his new customers! Can't wait for the restaurant to expand and apply to turn a few parking stalls out front into open air dining ..... misters and all! The only good thing about Covid was the outdoor dining addition to enhance an established restaurant! Not sure if the owner is relieved or shocked at how well received H&H is to our little community! And to hear so many NYC accents all in one place..... truly happy for the success! read more

Waited 20 minutes to order 1 bangle sandwich and a bagele with lox spread. Order came with the sandwich was completely made wrong and the bagel with lox spread wasn't there. Manager was apologetic. The sandwich finally came and the missing bagel with lox spread was made with regular cream cheese. and I just kept it. 10 employees behind the counter with no experience whatsoever. Sorry for the negative review, maybe the place will get better in time!! PS The manager was trying hard to correct everything. read more

Hello John, placed a simple order for a single whole wheat everything bagel to go after our discussion as to why you don't offer pumpernicle (that sounded like BS). Received a plain ww. Have to say it wasn't any better than an off the shelf bagel from any local market Please don't apologize & ask me to copy & paste. Ican & do make a treat of Townie's in Palm Springs occasionally and have for years and the quality is always excellent. Hopefully you'll work out the bugs. There is no ambiance & I recommend take out only if you want mediocre bagels. Jeanie Ribeiro-Palm Desert read more

As a northeastern native, Yay for bagels, loving the vibe , but where are the salt bagels?

45 mins from the time I stepped in the door at the back of the line to the time I received my order. That's way too long and disrespectful of one's time. I know the place is fairly new but watching all the inefficiencies going on behind the counter was painful to watch. To make matters worse the BEC I ordered wasn't even served hot. I think my cold drink was actually warmer than the breakfast sandwich. What a disaster. read more
