Employees are nice and food was good! First time eating lox bagel from here and wasn't disappointed. I only wish it had a little more lox, but next time I will ask for extra. Also ordered a turkey sandwich which my friend loved. The way they are wrapped is great because usually when I eat lox it gets messy but this is perfect. Two bagel sandwiches for less than $22 is pretty good in my opinion. read more

Not familiar with area but ended up in this little hole in the wall and loved it!! Fresh made bagels with lots of variety to choose from. Cashier was extremely helpful and service was fast. Will definitely go back. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because they had already ran out of different flavored bagels otherwise 5 STARS !!! read more

Omg, my life will never be the same after I tried their blueberry bagel. It's amazing. It is full of fresh blueberries! Just no words, you must try it! Thank to my colleague who brought it today to work. read more

They have amazing breakfast sandwich bagels and pizza bagels! Can't go wrong with John's. Their bagels are huge and the perfect consistency.

This is a modest little bagel place and they have reasonable prices. The bagels are large and most unusual they do not have a hole in the middle. The dough is light and tasty. They have a variety of different bagel types to choose from as well as various sandwich offerings. There are only two tables inside the place should you wish to eat there. It would appear as though most people coming here are taking out. read more

Came here for a breakfast sandwich. I ordered a south of the border sandwich with a plain bagel. It has ham, egg, cheese and jalopeno cream cheese. My sandwich was ready in less than 5 minutes. I should have asked for it cut in half because it was quite messy and the egg and ham kept sliding off of my bagel. It was delicious but extremely messy especially to eat in the car. The bagel was a bit darker than I would have preferred. It looked more like whole wheat with how dark it was toasted. Still a delicious sandwich and kept me full my work day. read more

I am so disgusted! the first time I was very nice about it. I called. I let them know but this time. I'm not being so nice. I'm just taking a photo and posting it on here I'm so disgusted. I literally want to vomit! Please put some hairnets on please and shave your face please because this is disgusting and unacceptable/unsanitary. I'm not trying to be mean im posting on here so other people are aware! who knows how many times. Other people have swallowed a piece of hair without even checking or knowing it. Please retrain you employees! read more

Stopped to get a bagel. I ordered a cheddar bagel and coffee. It cost about $9+. I looked at it when I opened it and said ok... really doesn't look like a bagel but more of a roll. But let me tell you, it was delicious. Big and tasty. I had them add cream cheese. They put plenty of cream cheese. So the price is worth it. Definitely if you passing by, stop by and give them a try. So good read more

A true gem in Simi. They have the best bagels. I know purist say because they don't have a hole they aren't real bagels but that just means more bagel to eat! The jalapeño cheese one is to die for! read more

i can confidently say that my first visit to Johns today was the very first time i've had a bacon egg & cheese outside the state of ny or nj and been REMINDED of the past ny & nj ones i've had.

John's Bagel Deli - "western basic" sub cheddar chz, on an everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Had a great experience with attentive service that let me leisurely decide on my order. I got the garden special. The sandwich came in a generous portion, though next time I'll opt for the garlic bagel over the salt bagel, as the latter was a touch too salty for my taste. The ingredients were all fresh and flavorful. My one piece of advice is come early in the day because by late noon, a lot of the bagels are sold out. Sadly the garlic bagel was sold out by the time I got there at 1:30pm. Definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

The New Yorker bagel was pretty good and gave me some flashbacks to New York bagels it looks like they have a lot of bagel choices available, but when I went around 10am, they only had like a third of their bagel choices available. Their service was pretty speedy as well and I don't think they ever get too busy, even though I feel like they should read more

BEST BAGEL PLACE EVER! My boyfriend and I love this place. We are a regular here. We had tried so many things from the New York bagel, Jalapeños Jack, onion bagel, the cream cheese with different flavors as well! Everything was so GOOD! The service was also always great! They are always so nice. They have a couple tables inside and one table outside. Overall, would recommend to people to try this place! You won't regret it. read more

Amazing bagel shop nestled in the middle of semi Valle. The bagel was good and the lox cream cheese on top was amazing but the craziest thing about this place is I've never seen them put more cheese in the bagel ever. There could've been more amounts of cream cheese, and the total for the bagel and apple juice was nine dollars. read more

While heading to a training I had a craving for Lox so I did a quick yelp search and saw John's Bagel was on the route and made a stop in. Immediately you walk up and say wow this was a donut shop turned bagel space. After a quick scan of the menu I saw it the New Yorker sandwich which was the lox cream cheese sandwich I was craving. Now I will say that this was in no way a New York bagel or sandwich but it was very tasty. The bagel as other reviews stated are not traditional bagels in fact as I took that first bite I got more of a focaccia texture. Either way the flavor of the Smokey salmon, crisp tomato and smooth cream cheese satisfies the craving I had. read more

Great quality bagels without the hole in the middle. I usually order the BLT and it's great quality especially for the price

Delicious bagels. The other Yelp reviews are right! I stopped in for lunch and ordered The New Yorker. Reasonably priced lox, cream cheese, sprouts and all the trimmings. Nice soft toasted bagel. Quick service with a smile. Overall great experience. It's just a little store in a strip mall with a couple basic inside tables and one outside table. read more

I was craving a bagel, so naturally I looked up a place on Yelp and decided to give John's a try. I ordered the new yorker on a jalapeño bagel and added capers. I agree with other reviews that the bagel was not a traditional one in that it was more of a bread texture than a bagel, but I knew what I was getting into reading reviews before coming. I really enjoyed my bagel. The fillings were really delicious and fresh. The ratio of cream cheese and lox was perfect. It did feel more like a sandwich than a bagel but again, I knew what to expect. I've been back another time since my first visit. I ordered the exact same thing but this time asked them for the bagel to be extra toasty and it was perfect! read more

The bagels are nice and fluffy. You definitely get your moneys worth. They also have great customer service.

I've been coming to John's Bagel for 27 years since I was in elementary school. Although I don't regularly visit like I did when I was a child and teenager, this place has essentially stayed the same for the last 21 years! I have visited here 4 times in the last 12 months. Now for those unfamiliar with John's, these aren't the most typical bagels you buy. Montreal bagels have a bigger hole whereas New York are the most common, which are what "everyone" is typically accustomed to, but these bagels are more in line with London bagels in terms of style. However, they're definitely better classified as Bialy (bread), as they have depressions (not a hole) with their toppings. Since 1995-1998, my go-to has been the salt bagel, which became incredibly popular in the Mid 90s. Although the salt grains aren't as dense as they once were, they certain do pack a punch. I strongly recommend getting it warmed up or slicing it to put cream cheese in between. However, the cheese bagels have always been a family favorite. Depending on the bagel, the quantity of cheese can be feast or famine as they're never fully consistent. The last two times have been great, but it can vary way too much, thus a slightly lower rating. I strongly recommend having it toasted on site for the best taste overall. Microwaving or placing it in the oven is good, but not the same. As for the "usual suspects," in terms of other style bagels, they're all good if you enjoy bagels. Sure all the "roll" reviews are semi-accurate, but these bagels have always been consistent quality for decades. They're a local Ventura County and Simi Valley institution so if you want Asiago, generic or bland bagels go elsewhere. John's is definitely a very unique bagel deli and been the same for decades. read more

Just go to Panera for a 2/3 dollar bagel that's way better They always close early and this is the 10th time that I have been there and they have been closed for no reason it literally says on their damn door that they're open but they had a filming crew in there with fake customers in line to order stuff and the filling crew had no idea what was going on and they were rude. It's not even worth the cheap bagels because every time I go it's always closed even when it says they should be open at that time. And the service is not that good and it's usually dirty in here anyway. Plus it takes 30 minutes for them to make your bagel at this point I'm just gonna buy the big bagels from Vons and put my own cream cheese on it it's not even convenient to go here anymore. read more

amazing bagels go there almost once every week their bagels look like it took steroids no complaints at all!! Love family owned businesses

Came this morning at 6:45 to get some bagels for my meeting in Irvine with clients. The young man who helped me was very nice and explained all the many flavours. I ended up getting a dozen of all kinds with cream cheese. My clients loved them! They were also huge! I will be coming back to try some for myself, especially the cinnamon and blueberry. Highly recommend. read more

Come early if you want to try the different bagels. Made the mistake of going on a Saturday at 11am after I realized they were closed on Sundays and they were out of all but three kinds of bagels. The bagels I got were so soft, perfectly seasoned and the cream cheese options were great. Want to go back to try more of the menu. read more

Yum! The bagels at Johns are a Ventura count treasure. They're made consistently at perfection. They offer a wide range of h unique bagel and cream cheese flavors- we opted for an everything bagel with jalapeño and chive cream cheese. They also offer a HUGE MENU of sandwiches; I had a traditional bacon egg and cheese on an onion bagel. The sandwich hit the spot. read more

I decided to try them for the first time ever in my life. I have to say they definitely were a strange type of bagel. I also have to say they did not taste that great at all. The cream cheese was the best thing they have. Saf to say but won't be back at all. Not worth the money. read more
