Amazing customer service and great coffee!!! Food looked so yummy too! I got the brown sugar hazelnut iced and it was delicious

Have since returned at least every other week to this glorious place. They've also since changed their menu a little. My husband and I like to take home fresh bagels and bagel breakfast sandwiches (the Zetzellah on an angry everything is my go-to when I'm ravenous). It's often very busy on the weekends but they typically move very fast. Oh, and there's an app now, to make remote ordering even easier. I truly do love this local joint! Thanks for being so great, Inglorious Bagels! PS. When they have them, don't skip out on the everything bagel chips. They're such an addictive, crunchy snack. read more

I have been wanting to try this Bagel Spot by my job for a while now so I finally did. I got two bagels. Both plain, but one with Honey Walnut Schmear and the other Habanero Schmear. They both tasted scrumptious. The Honey Walnut schmear had actual pieces of walnuts and the Habanero schmear had pieces of the habanero mixed in. If you like sweet the you will love the Honey Walnut Schmear as long as you enjoy walnuts. If you are a spicy lover, then the Habanero Schmear is definitely for you. This bagel spot has a self ordering station so you get to see all the combinations you can put on a bagel. I really enjoyed both. You can get a plain bagel for $2.95 and add a schmear for $1.95. It was a nice bagel shop and everything looked cleaned plus well organized. They offer a variety of other bagels, bagel sandwiches, coffees and beverages. It's definitely a bagel spot to check out. read more

Very delicious bagel shop. Going there again this morning. The lox is the best. Nice clean place and love the art work. read more

YUM. I've lived down the street from this place for a long time and hadn't gone. A couple people sent me the address on Instagram and I thought to myself I should try it! Got the salmon lox bagel traditional with everything bagel of course. Was almost $20 but well worth it. Piled high with quality fresh salmon just the right amount of onion caper and cream cheese and a perfectly toasted bagel. Waited 20 minutes because was super crowded on a Sunday mid morning. Recommend ordering ahead but even if you don't, they make it super easy with a kiosk. Will def be back to try some other items. read more

Tried this place for the first time last Saturday and was very impressed! I struggle to choose between an everything bagel and jalapeno cheese but that's not an issue here because they combined the two! Really enjoyed my egg, meat and cheese bagel sandwich with bacon and looking forward to going back and trying more things! The only critique I have is that they put fennel seeds in their everything bagel mix but there aren't too many so I was able to scrape most of them off. read more

Gdam these are some great bagels! It's a small shop with some small tables out front to sit. We ordered via a kiosk and they had it ready within 10 minutes. I had to get 2 bagels and they had such a great assortment of smear options. The onion bagel with green chili cream cheese was solid and I really appreciated the chunks of chilis inside of the cream cheese. But the star of the show was definitely the Bialy bagel with lox cream cheese. It was perfectly soft and the lox cream cheese was amazing! There were small chunks of salmon in the spread which was great since and overall this was one of my favorite donuts in San Diego by far! read more

My reduced review is more based on a door dash review where we didn't receive our full order. It's hard to understand if this was the door dasher or the restaurant itself. We ordered a dozen bagels for my office and had it delivered, it arrived with the bagels that we wanted to try missing without any type of communication that they were out of those and zero cream cheese! We had to make a trip to a store close by so people could eat the bagels. There were the specialty cream cheeses ordered so it was super disappointing that we received not one. It was also a waste of Time having to go pick it up when we paid extra for it to be delivered. What I did like about it was that the seasoning was so great that I couldn't tell which was the top and which was the bottom. The bagels were huge and filling and really tasty. Unfortunately we were unable to try the bagels we wanted to but overall it was still tasty. read more

I heard about this New York-style bagel shop from my Yelp friends and wanted to try it for myself. Coincidently, I also found out through social media about their 4th year anniversary celebration. The stars were definitely aligned for me to go. From the moment I walked in, everything on the breakfast menu sounded sooo good. It was hard to choose, and the person behind the counter was super niiice which made my first time experience even better. I ordered a basic breakfast bagel with egg, sausage and cheese plus tomato and aioli with a hot birthday cake latte. Suprisingly, the service was pretty quick. Both were incredibly delisssh! The everything bagel was toasted perfectly... each bite was flavorful. The latte was nicely balanced...each sip was flavorful. What a greaaat way to kick-off my 4th!! Now, this shop is definitely a MUST when I'm in the area. read more

Finally, I was in Carlsbad when inglorious bagels were open so I had to try it. Being lunchtime they were low on the bagel selection, but luckily they still had salt left. I ordered it as an egg and cheese but opted for the chive cream cheese and I added a latke. It was hearty! The cream cheese and the latke went really well together. The bagel was soft and had an easy bite to it as a sandwich. Service was pretty quick and friendly, I'll definitely add this to my go to spots when I'm up north. read more

DEAR INGLOURIOUS BAGELS: YOU WANTED BETTER PICTURES? YOU GOT IT! Remember my Yelp review of Inglourious Bagels in Carlsbad? The one where I questioned why a supposedly award-winning bagel shop would sell a bagel covered in what appeared to be burnt toppings? Well, the owner, Brian G., responded with a healthy serving of sarcasm. He mocked my culinary background, called my review an "I'm a Chef too" food critique tour, and suggested I needed a ring light, better camera angles, and perhaps a little garnish to make his bagels "POP!" Well, Brian, thanks for the photography tips! But here's the funny thing. One of the questions I raised in my original review was: If this is the attention you're paying to the food customers can see, what's happening behind the scenes? So I started looking into your San Diego County health inspection history. And golly gee, Mr. G., look what turned up! May 2024: Inspectors documented vermin-related violations on May 3. Follow-up inspections continued through May 7, with the issue not cleared until May 8. That's five days to resolve the problem. June 20, 2025 -- Score: 94. Violations included vermin-related requirements, vermin-proofing, improper food holding temperatures, and equipment maintenance. November 4, 2025 -- Score: 94. Five violations, including food-contact surface sanitation, warewashing facilities, and restroom conditions. July 20, 2026 -- Score: 91. Five more violations, including improper hot and cold holding temperatures, food-contact surface sanitation, vermin-proofing, and improper handling or storage of wiping cloths. Improper food holding temperatures can create conditions that allow harmful bacteria to multiply, potentially making customers seriously ill. And vermin-proofing violations again? You'd think you'd have learned something by now, Mr. G. To be fair, you did receive two perfect scores of 100 in the inspection history I reviewed. Congratulations! But as the saying goes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Now, Brian, these aren't my opinions about your cooking. They're findings listed in public health inspection records. And since you were so concerned about my photography, I've decided to take your advice. I'll photograph the county inspection reports and share them alongside my original review on Yelp, Instagram, TikTok, and wherever else I think consumers might benefit from seeing them. No ring light. No fancy camera angles. No garnish. Just your inspection history, in black and white. You see, Brian, when a paying customer questions your food quality, you can respond professionally, investigate the complaint, or simply disagree. Instead, you chose to ridicule the customer. And that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion, just as I'm entitled to mine. But here's the difference: You criticized my photography. I decided to examine your food safety record. And frankly, I think the public inspection findings deserve considerably more attention than whether I photographed your bagel from its good side. So feel free to write another snarky response, Bagel Boy. But perhaps spend a little less time critiquing your customers' photography and a little more time making sure the next inspection doesn't document the same problems. After all, Brian, a bad photograph won't make someone sick. Improper food handling can. read more

I can't recall how we stumbled in upon this place, but so glad we did! We stopped in and got a few breakfast bagel sandwiches. My daughter got just a regular, bacon egg and cheese bagel. I think I was enticed when I saw hash browns on a sandwich and stopped reading the description on the Latke Loco where habaneros are in the sauce because holy moly it was super spicy! That's my official warning lol I could only eat half. They put a lot of sauce on the sandwich and even though I didn't finish it in one sitting, it was super tasty and if you can handle heat, it's a must try! I can't handle heat but the flavor was so good, I actually ate the other half later in the day. We also got their chai and a specialty coffee The service was great and they had nice outdoor seating so overall it was an enjoyable experience and will definitely be back! read more

Pleasantly surprised by the experience at Inglourious Bagels!!! The staff was friendly and helpful. Make sure you arrived early because many of your favorite bagels will sellout before closing time. I ended up "settling" for my desired breakfast bagel on an "Everything Bagel". Oh my goodness, was the bagel delicious and mind blowing!! Give them a try and you will come back often. The name of this establishment provides truth in advertising..... The bagels here are shamefully and disgracefully delicious!!! read more

Awesome spot for bagels and coffee! Our family's favorite. You have to try the cream cheeses too!

I'm so glad I finally made it to this bagel shop - it was fantastic! I didn't know a lot going in and Nathan was so helpful explaining their different offerings. I wasn't sure what I wanted and he took his time asking me flavor profiles I like etc and honestly I'm so glad because I love what we landed on! Something different I've never tried (Angry Everything bagel - 3/10 spicy level) with chive cream cheese to balance it. It was so delicious!! I think it's my new favorite bagel but I can't wait to come back and try more. Plenty of seating outside and service was quick. Highly recommend! read more

I'm not sure his name, but it was Tuesday morning, 10/6. I don't think I've ever seen someone work as hard as the guy working here. He was taking orders, running to the back, helping customers, and constantly moving without missing a beat. You could genuinely tell he cared about his job and the people he was serving. That kind of work ethic is rare to see these days, and it deserves recognition. Whatever this guy is getting paid, it's not enough. Seriously impressive hustle and a great representation of this business! read more

These bagels are so so good! We got their lox bagel and really enjoyed! We wish we could've had the option of light cream cheese, that wasn't an option on the kiosk we ordered from. Otherwise, we loved the service and thought the bagels were extremely yummy and had a great texture. Their coffee is good too! read more

Save your time and money! Paid $7.25 for their signature latte that sounded really good but tasted like a whole lotta nothing! They were out of my bagel choice and my friends (it was 10am on a Sunday so I understand). Got a cinnamon sugar bagel instead and it just tasted like a plain bagel and was bready, dry and overcooked. read more

I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and an egg and cheese blueberry bagel toasted. The smoothie was delicious and blended nicely. Great flavor!

Super disappointed the last 3 times I've been, my order has been messed up. I pay extra for butter lettuce and tomato and one is missing them, then the other had sausage (or some type of fake meat is what it tasted like. ) added to it instead of bacon. For how expensive it is I'd like for my order to be right. We order 2 bagels at a time. That's almost $100. Not right. read more

Stopped by on my way to Disneyland, so not a local to this area. I have to say, the food was pretty good. Def not better than Einstein, especially for the price. We all enjoyed the food, but the coffee was disappointing. What really brought points down for me was the TERRIBLE customer service.... the employees saw me standing there, confused as to if I was able to grab the food or to wait? After an employee finally decided to help me, he handed me a coffee DRIPPING with cold foam. I'm not even joking, the lid was overfilled with the foam and I got a "sorry". I had to ask him to change the lid and he gave us attitude!! Working in coffee, I've ran into this issue multiple times before and I've always replaced the lip or if I over poured, put it in a bigger cup. The critical thinking and customer resolution here was so disappointing and I would not return. read more

There were so many options! I went with a cinnamon raisin bagel with honey walnut schmear and it was absolutely delicious. My mouth is watering as I write this review. I also purchased a bag of their day old bagels and a tub of the habanero schmear. The bagels were still great the day later, though I wasn't sure what flavors they were. The habanero schmear was SO spicy, with visible chunks of habanero. I would go back just for that. The folks working were super friendly and quick. I wish there was a location closer to where I live, but any time I'm in Carlsbad, I'm stopping here! read more

I've been here a couple times now and overall here's my take - If you are looking for a super spicy bagel you can't find anywhere else, this is the place for you. Anything else, you can probably go to any bagel shop. The HELLFIRE BAGEL is incredible. the best bagel i have ever had, but not because of the actual bagel lol more the toppings and flavor choice. It has habanero peppers and habanero pepper jack cheese. I opted to add the habanero cream cheese as well - another thing I've never seen before. 100/10, will come again because of that bagel. At the same time, I tried the Angry Everything and was severely disappointed. It had little to no taste, minimal spice if any at all, and was so bland I threw it away. My 5 year old daughter loves the Everything bagels, but the seasoning falls off anywhere she touches so it ends being mostly a plain bagel. Agree with the reviews that they tend to have several burnt batches of bagels, and will serve as is. Parking is easy, staff are friendly and efficient, and the inside is very clean considering how many people are in and out. No bathroom for customers that I could see, but I haven't asked. There isn't much room to wait inside, so most people wait outside at the few available tables. read more

Ordered online ahead of time. Let's first talk about how 1 of the items in our order was just a chocolate chip bagel toasted with cream cheese. It wasn't toasted and was hard when we received it. Disappointing to say the least given a simple bagel is almost $7. Our second bagel was an egg sandwich bagel, that we asked for no cream cheese or tomato. Both were on there and this bagel wasn't warm also when we received it. We arrived before the pickup time and waited outside. Our name was never called and the bag with our order just sat on the counter until we went to grab it. Disappointed in this as ordering at the counter, the bagels are great but when you order online seems like the quality and care goes out the window. read more

Stopped here on a Sunday around noon, very cute bagel shop! Quick and pleasant service. The plain & everything bagels are big, fluffy and chewy but some of the other bagels lack the same volume and texture. Ordered the oy vey on a plain bagel, basically a lox sandwich with the works and it was quite good! The lox portion was quite generous. The price was a bit expensive around $17 which was the only downside. Overall 8.5/10. Also got the shlub, which is a basic egg sandwich on a bagel. The egg lacked flavor, but the cheddar was good. 6/10 probably would not order again. Additionally, got a cheddar jalapeno bagel with veggie cream cheese. 8/10, the jalapeños were very fresh and veggie cream cheese was better than most. Would definitely come again & try more bagels! read more

Absolutely delicious. From the moment I walked in, everything on the menu sounded so good it was hard to choose, and the person working was incredibly nice and genuinely generous, which made the experience even better. One thing I loved is that they actually call their cream cheeses schmears--something I've rarely seen in California--and the variety of flavors was amazing. I ordered a breakfast bagel with all the classic breakfast toppings plus their special that includes a hash brown, and I added the roasted garlic schmear. It was incredible. The bagel itself was toasted perfectly, not hard at all, and every bite was so flavorful. Service was super quick, and this place seriously deserves more recognition because it's that good. I would 100% stop here every time I'm passing through on the way to San Diego. read more

You know when people tell you, you gotta try NY bagels? then you happen to find a place that proudly claims to be NY bagels? Well that's what happened here. Look we just had bagels the other day and I was like these are super thick and hard. Then we came here and I saw the #30 Lox special and I said this gotta be it. Ordered and left cuz seating outside was all taken. A good 12 min drive later was finally able to bite into it. OMG, I tell you they say you never forget your first and I think this truly was my first NY bagels. It was crisp on the outside but soft and chewy. Everything bagel, salmon, capers, lettuce and their schmear was GLORIOUS! I can't wait to come back again and try the other 50 items on here. They're only open til 1pm, service was timely and staff was super friendly. parking is small but people are in and out quickly. read more

I've really been trying to give this place a chance, but the last few times I've gone have been really disappointing. It's an extremely big let down when you wait in line for 10 minutes... see the bagels you'd like to get only to be told it's not available even though there's still 4 showing in the baskets. There obviously NEEDS to be a better system in place so that customers DON'T waste their time. Having a sign stating we're out or making an announcement of some sort... because as a customer it would be helpful to know what's actually available.Between the lack of customer service, unfriendly staff, and limited supply of items, I'm mostly likely not going to be coming back. :-( read more

I've been to this bagel shop more than once now and it still is one of my favorite bagel spots to go to on my way to San Diego. The line is always massive and usually they sell out of bagels if you go too late, the line wasn't too long today. It was almost out the door and the service was so quick. I placed my order and within 5 to 10 minutes I had gotten my bagel. It was really fast. The bagel I got was the jalapeño cheddar bagel with mustard, cheese, bacon, sausage, and aïoli sauce. I'm pretty sure I got this bagel last time too, and it is still one of my favorites. The shop is a cute little hole in the wall with so many bagels to choose from, overall great experience and I will definitely be back again read more
