So good! Stopped by here after taking a class at Activate across the street. Yes, I know, workout then a bagel... the audacity. Haha. But honestly it was so worth it. You can see them making the bagels fresh. I got their Utopia, which is a "choose your own bagel and spread." I got the honey walnut cream cheese with salted bagel. And it was a salty and sweet perfection. Ate half of it there, then saved the other half for my snack later that day, and it was still good. The place is comfy and quaint, with a brick fireplace, and a few small tables outside.
I've driven by this establishment a few times.... Once I saw Marigold Bagels on IG I knew we had to add them to our places to try list. So glad we finally did. Amazing NY style bagels. Soft and chewy. Their breakfast sandwiches were top notch..... Great customer service & chill vibes. What we ordered: * The BEC w/ Garlic Bagel * The Jersey Girl w/ Everything Bagel (w/ Taylor Pork Roll) This is a great spot for yummy NY style breakfast sandwiches. A must try spot!!
Came as they opened there was only 1 person ahead of me. There's only street parking so I had to walk from the residential area. I got the BEC (Bacon Egg and Cheese) on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. First off the bagel was soft and tender and had a slight crust and crunch and the jalapeños added a nice heat. The sandwich was very cheesy and eggy. Not your typical boring firm bagel sandwich, this one is worth ordering. You can also order it with ham instead of bacon. I also ordered a sesame bagel with garlic chive schmear. Again the bagel had a crisp crust while the inside was very soft. The bagel was over stuffed with schmear, so much that it spilled out the other side when I bit into it. Service was friendly, they told me it would be about 10 minutes to make the bagel. The kitchen is partially open as you can see them making some of the bagels up front. There are a few tables inside but theres a deck with more seats outside. Next time I want to try the 845 7th. A bagel sandwich made with pastrami from RC provisions. If you're a pastrami enthusiast, you know that RC Provisions is who makes pastrami for Langers in LA. They are located down the street from Rudford's and across the street from the Wise Ox and Pure Project. Much better Bagles than your typical corporate bagel shop.
Really enjoyed trying this bagel shop! The bagels were delicious. Came pretty really early on a Wednesday morning at 6:50 am and beat most of the weekday rush. Tried the Asiago, Salt, and cheddar Jalepeno bagels with lox spread and honey walnut spread. Bagels are a bit pricey at $21 for a half dozen but very delicious and fresh. My favorite combination was the salt bagel with lox spread. I would have liked the option to have some hot and fresh from the oven like some other bagel shops. Overall was a great experience and would definitely come back! It gets crowded and line goes out the door last 7 am so come early if you want to beat the rush.
I got the Asiago bagel with lox and dill cream cheese, which was a good hack to get my lox fix without the high cost (the lox sandwich is $16 vs $7 for a bagel & cream cheese). The bagel was fluffy and chewy! The cream cheese had chunks of lox and lot of good dill flavor. The bagel doesn't automatically come toasted so If you want your bagel toasted, you have to ask them! I waited about 20 mins for my bagel which seemed long for a toasted bagel with cream cheese. It didn't seem overly busy but there was a steady stream of customers.
If you're looking to scratch an itch for a good NY style chewy bagel then this is the spot! That said you (and your wallet) are gonna have to work for it! The wait was insane (45 min) on a Saturday morning for bagel sandwiches so I'd recommend either going during the week or getting bagels and schmear to go. (Which is apparently much quicker) I had the Bec it was good but a little dry. $10.50 Some of the other bagel sandwiches were either overpriced in my option or didn't make sense. Why is a plain bagel $3.50, but then adding cream cheese almost doubles the price? They have a nice sunny raised patio, the inside is mostly full of people standing in line.
I finally got to try Marigold Bagels! They are down the street from me and it's always way too busy but I went as soon as they opened and there was a line of 10 people behind me once I finished placing my order. I ordered a breakfast sandwich that had bacon, cheese, and an egg. I chose to have it served on their jalapeño cheese bagel. The sandwich was nothing special, I don't know that I would get that again. The egg was bland and there wasn't any sauces or spreads on it. I also ordered some bagels to go, the onion, plain, and jalapeño cheddar. The onion one was really good with the jalapeño cheddar cream cheese. The plain one was great with the delicious churro cream cheese. The ambiance was nice, very clean and they had an open kitchen prep area for the bagels. The bagels were very good, chewy, yet crispy on the outside and fresh!
The HYPE is real!!! Best Bagel Ive had in SD! I got the breakfast sandwich with the jalapeno-cheddar and it was perfection! I will definitely be back often!!!
Wife found another gem on her places to try list. Great place loved the decor represent true items linking New York baseball and Sinatra. The service was great very friendly and helpful. You definitely see the effort to make it a very positive experience. Everyone is upbeat and friendly the hidden side of New York as traditionally people think NYC and think rude people with attitude. I truly love the quality of the flavor of everything.The food was hot and delicious. Freshly prepared. Noticed a cork board with a photo of an employee who inspired the jersey girl. Love that sense of regonintion. Wife tried the BEC (bacon egg and cheese) where I tried the Jersey girl. Both were an explosion of flavor in each bite. Don't sleep on this place a definite must try to get quality NYC bagel's
STEPH JUDGEMENT: Super popular, super crowded. The Sunday morning line was no joke. I lucked out and got there right before the line got really long, but they had only one cashier so it still took quite a while (eventually a second cashier came out). It's not a huge place, so seating was limited, but there was also some outdoor seating. I got a plain toasted bagel with lox dill spread. They really give you a lot of filling, and while the bagel was good, can't say it was the best bagel I've ever had (good crust, but the interior didn't have that slightly moist elasticity i like). I got a bottle of fresh-squeezed OJ while in line, which turned out to be very good but also very spendy. Glad I tried them, but not sure if I'd return, unless I knew it wouldn't be that crowded.
Came here on a Thursday morning since we heard it can get busy during the weekends. Got lucky with street parking too because people were at work. We walked in and there was no line. There were still lots of people having brunch and enjoying their bagels. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese bagel on a jalapeno cheese bagel. There was plenty of egg, melty American cheese and a couple of pieces of bacon. It wasn't salty and the actual jalapeno on the bagel was a bit spicy. The bread itself was crunchy and soft, if that makes any sense. This was delicious and even better when you add some hot sauce to it. The hubs got the pizza bagel on a plain bagel and this wasn't so exciting. It had pepperoni and a good amount of it but we weren't too impressed with it. The Jersey Girl was good too. We appreciated the Taylor ham and finally glad we were able to try this. It's almost like spam but not as salty. This was on a plain bagel as well. I would get this again, as well as the bacon, egg and cheese bagel. We also ordered the lox and dill cream cheese to take home and ordered a jalapeno cheese, Asiago, plain, salt and two cinnamon raisin. All bagels need to be toasted. The cinnamon raisin was a nice treat, not too sweet but wishing it did have sugar on it. The lox and dill cream cheese was so so so so so good with all the other bagels we got. You can definitely taste and see all the lox and dill in the cream cheese. I would order all these again. It was just so so good. The place is also cute and the staff are super friendly. Some of the sandwiches are a bit steep but for good bagels, I'll pay for it. Overall, I would definitely return on another random weekday.
Super cute and cozy bagel spot in North Park. There are a couple indoor tables and a small amount of parking spots right outside. There is ample street parking as well. It was pretty pricy for some basic bagel sandwiches. Even the veggies on the lox bagel had an upcharge. I was also hoping to add cream cheese to my bacon, egg and cheese but they said they are unable to add that on. The taste was decent, but not the best bagel sandwiches I've had.
As a New Jersey native, I had high expectations for these New York style bagels and they were met! The bagel itself was so airy and light. An awesome texture and great amount of everything seasoning. Inside I had pork roll, egg, and cheese. There was so much egg and cheese - I definitely was not skimped!
Delicious bagel sandwiches here and I love that you can add all the veggies you want, most are under the free toppings section Got a bacon egg and cheese (not pictured) and there was a solid cheese pull even 15 min later when got to the picnic spot. They have a line up system, pay attention to it! And then they'll either call your name or text when ready. Suggest using the short wait time to grab a fancy coffee somewhere else (I believe marigold currently only does drip) read more
My husband, baby, and I stopped by Marigold Bagels on Saturday morning, weather was perfect! It definitely gets crowded inside, so be prepared. We both got the B.E.C. bagel sandwich, and it was delicious! On top of that, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The only real downside was the wait time. We waited quite a while for our order, so if you're expecting a quick in-and-out , that's definitely not the case here. Just make sure to factor in extra time when you visit. For parents and accessible entry: Park in the back! There is parking behind the shop, and entering from the back is much easier for strollers and wheelchairs compared to the front entrance. Overall, it was decent! Will definitely try again and something else on the menu. read more

The BEC was the best item that we got. The yonkers wasn't that amazing and could've used a little more flavor. The Salt Bagel with the garlic chive cream cheese was good but not amazing either. The bagel was pretty rough to bite into but the cream cheese was delicious. They let you choose what toppings to add to it at no extra cost which I did like. They let you add dill, capers, red onion, pickled onion, etc. You can order online and pick up which is what I did and there was no wait. It wasn't that busy because the hype has definitely died down. I LOVE pickles, but the pickles here were not good. I wish they were more tangy or sour. read more
Went for a Saturday morning breakfast and luckily breezed right through the line, because by the time we reached the counter, it was out the door and down the stairs. They offer a great variety of bagels and schmears, along with several signature sandwiches, or you can build your own. The wait after ordering was about 15 minutes, and everyone behind the counter was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The breakfast bagel we ordered was loaded with delicious bacon, and the bagel itself was perfectly soft and chewy. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Seating is limited, but tables turn over pretty quickly. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more
Last Thursday, my daughter, my husband, and myself decided to hit Marigold's bagels to celebrate my husband's birthday. He is a huge bagel fan. Construction was happening on the street right in front of the restaurant so we parked around the corner and walked through Madeline's patio to get there. That was a little awkward, but nothing that was Marigold's fault. Just know that parking is an issue even without construction. We placed our orders and found a seat. When our name was called, I picked up the order came back to the seat, divvied out everybody's order, open my box and noticed that mine was incorrect. Now the woman that rang me up was very nice. I tipped the highest on their iPad. And my order was wrong. This happens more often than not now and it makes me reluctant to want to tip if you're not going to fill the order correctly and then I have to wait for it to be fixed. They were nice about it, but it's so annoying and it's becoming a problem everywhere we go. The bagels were good and if I didn't need to drive there, I would probably go more often. I am surprised that they did not have coffee drinks like lattes, etc. just drip coffee. And juices. It seems like in this day and age every little restaurant has baristas as well. So if you just want a bagel and drip coffee or some kind of juice Marigold is your place. read more

This place was going off on a Sunday! I had this on my list for a while and decided to swing by when I was in the area. Around 930am and line was pretty much out the door. This place is serious about their New York bagels it's pretty much just bagels; they serve some brew coffee and a fridge for drinks but the bagels are their sole focus. Onto the bagel- I've never had it from New York but this bagel makes me want to book a trip asap. It's so fluffy and fresh and everything you want in a bagel. I'll say that there are some bagel spots that are adventurous with their culinary toppings. This place sticks to the tried and true sandwich combos. I got the bec (bacon, egg, cheese) but with ham. It was good and basic, seasoned w salt and pepper, but that bagel really made the sandwich for me. What I love about this spot is how dog friendly it is! There's a treat jar at the counter and they converted part of the sidewalk space to a little grassy spot for the pups. Parking is street parking but I did notice a sign for ADA spots in the back of the spot. I got it to go but seating is limited due to how popular it is. The patio has the most selection &; tables. There's a handful of spots inside but you'd be sitting in between all the ppl ordering/ waiting for their meal. My advice would be to try to go during one of their slower times. On a popular Sunday morning it was about 15min in line to order, then 15-20 min wait. I was in no hurry and grabbed a latte next door while waiting, but close to an hour for a bagel might be a lot for some read more
Tried this place after another bagel shop was sadly out of bagels. Got a bacon, eggs, and cheese bagel on a robust garlic bagel. Hubby got a bec on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. The flavor of the bagels was very prominent. We thought the sandwiches were tasty. Service was friendly and quick. Bagels were being made and baked in the shop. read more
Went early on a weekday morning and it was pretty busy! Waited around 15 minutes for 3 bagels (two of them being the BEC) and they were worth it. I love that every bagel comes with a pickle--it's the perfect refreshing side. I brought this bagel to the beach (aka about 30 minutes later) and it was a little greasy, but I feel like it would have been better if I ate the bagel fresh out of the shop! I'll definitely be back to try a classic bagel with cream cheese; they have so many great options. read more
Great spot the staff was so friendly and very inviting. Lots of places to sit inside and outside. The food was awesome. The bagels were a little on the harder side for me but the pricing was very competitive and inexpensive for the area so a great option for breakfast! If you get a hot sandwich to go, they wrap it in foil and even 30 minutes. It was still extremely hot. read more
The bagels were so delicious. I had arrived 30 minutes before closing and luckily there were a few good bagels and options left. They had closed their breakfast menu which I was really hoping to try. I got the Lox salmon bagel with scallion cream cheese on a cheddar bagel. It was so good and so filling. I would definitely come back again to try their breakfast. read more

The food, the food here knocked my socks off! The Crown Heights with scallion schmear is 10/10--hits all the tasty notes. I've been singing its praises everyday since I had the pleasure of meeting it. Great location and kudos to the chef, the person who created the recipe, the staff who assembled my sando; a million xoxo to you!!! Yes, I'm already planning my next visit and will do my best to eat the menu! I got othet items but The Crown Heights was my superstar standout! read more
I'm a bigggg bagel fan and these definitely hit the spot. I ordered the white fish on a jalapeño cheese bagel, and it was absolutely amazing! The white fish salad was creamy and decadent with melted cheddar and dill on top, and the bagel was so light and airy on the inside with the perfect crunch on the outside. Would've been extra fire with a side pickle or capers to cut through the rich fish, but overall a 10/10. The staff were friendly and gave great recommendations. Although the seating area is pretty generous, this place can get pretty packed so be prepared to wait in line. So so worth it , especially if you love bagels as much as I do :) read more
Marigold Bagels about 3 weeks ago, opened shop on El Cajon Bl blocks away from swanky LaFayette Hotel and I had to try their claim of fame New York style bagels. Metered Street parking available. The interior dining area had a brick fireplace, seating and with pitched ceiling of exposed wood made the inside appear more spacious. Outdoor, indoor seating and pup friendly. Was greeted by friendly staff, placed my order for 3 bagels: Asiago, Sesame and Z'aatar. Hungry and Curious I also ordered a bagel sandwich called 'the crown heights with smoked salmon, cream cheese, all the veggie toppings and sliced in half. The wait wasn't bad, a staffer brought out the bagel sandwich with a smile and I did notice she had gloves, in fact she was the only staffer wearing gloves. The rest of the staff, while Kneading, Rolling the dough were also on their cell phones NOT wearing gloves, I have the photo receipt for proof! The staff needs to be more conscientious about their work being out in the public's eye where everyone notices everything especially cleanliness. After taking pics, I take a small bite of the sandwich and the bagel was cold and hard NOT toasted :( I asked if they could redo the sandwich and toast the bagel and they said they do not ever toast and they don't have a toaster :( I took the bagels and left, feeling disappointed and now more hungry. The following morning, I sliced the Asiago cheese bagel, toasted it and tried it with a little Kerrygold Irish butter and it tasted good and also tried the Z'aatar bagel, sliced and toasted with a schmear of Whole Foods cream cheese and it was also good. Would NOT say it's the best New York style bagel I've had because that bite of that cold hard sandwich made a bad impression, so Marigold Bagels needs to invest in a toaster asap. Turns out, after reading some previously posted reviews, I'm not alone on that complaint. Marigold Bagels first started selling bagels at Civita Farmers markets, Little Italy Farmers markets and this shop is their first physical store, so with growing pains there's much needed room for improvement... read more
Marigold Bagels has taken over the space of a former North Park brewpub on El Cajon Blvd after being a viral hit at a local farmers market. When the doors first opened, the products sold out quickly to the point in which only pre-orders were being accepted, and no walk-in customers were allowed. The business had to temporarily shut down to recalibrate the production process. After reopening, the lines have still been long, and most days the place has closed early because the daily inventory had been emptied. I finally visited on a weekday mid-morning and found there were only two customers ahead of me. I even located an open curbside parking space a few doors down the street. In front of the suite were some tables for outdoor seating. The inside had maybe three tables, one of which was set in front of a fireplace. The kitchen preparation area was visible on the left when you walked in. A menu board hung on a wall to the right of the service counter. Next to the counter was a display case with all of the bagel types on display. What I liked was that you could buy any of the ten different bagels individually or as a bag of six or twelve. On a side note, no money was saved by purchasing a bag. Seven kinds of spreads were available, and they could also be bought as an 8 oz container. The sandwich section of the menu had four active choices as three other options were marked as unavailable. My order consisted of three bagels (Asiago, Onion, Sesame) and a container of Garlic Chive spread. The first one incurred a $0.50 surcharge because of the cheese crust. The local bagel game has really stepped up over the past year with several new entries into the SD market. What made this shop so good was the hand-rolled bagels that were chewy and soft. For the price, the size was reasonable, and the seasoning applied to the exterior was generous. The fact that you could order a bagel with cheese, salmon, salad, or veggies as toppings in a sandwich was a bonus. I enjoyed each of my three choices exactly how they were made. The creamy, herby spread was icing on the cake (bagel) so to say. Of the newer bagel businesses I have tried, Marigold gets my highest rating. read more
Let me start by saying that I am not some bagel connoisseur so I wouldn't necessarily know the difference between an excellent or mediocre bagel. I do like a bagel from time to time and I have had east coast bagels before so I understand how delicious they can be but I don't go out of my way to seek a bagel. I heard that this spot had a lot of hype due to it selling out from a farmers market but wasn't in the area until recently. I came around noon and there was barely a wait. I didn't necessarily want a sandwich so me and my partner ended up ordering four bagels (two everything, one garlic and one bagel) and two different 2 oz spreads to try (lox/dill and jalapeño cheddar). There was a mixup in the ordering so the cashier was nice enough to provide us with an extra spread just cause (chive spread). Perhaps it was the time of the day but unfortunately all the bagels we tried were somewhat dry (both inside and outside). They explicitly write within the store that they don't have a toaster so unfortunately there wasn't a way to warm them up. In comparison to another hyped up east coast bagel shop that opened up just before them in San Diego (Popup Bagels in La Jolla) the difference in texture is noticeable as all the bagels there come out fresh. One note though: the Asiago bagel here has a whole layer of cheese versus a normal bagel shop that would just sprinkle the cheese for their Asiago bagels. Even with the lacking texture I could tell there was a super prominent cheese flavor that made it highly enjoyable. As for the spreads I did like that you could get multiple smaller options if you want some variety and they were all delicious. If I had come earlier in the day and the bagels were still fresh I probably would have enjoyed it more but unfortunately the texture made it feel like a bagel I could just get from the grocery store. The Asiago bagel makes me feel like they really do have something good going here but unfortunately this visit fell short for me. read more

As a former NYC resident, I was so happy to see the new wave of bagel spots in SD that are focusing on NY-style bagels. Marigold is one of those that I've been wanting to try even before their brick and mortar was established. We got the Crown Heights, a classic salmon, cream cheese, and the works and the BEC -- two items that would be hard to miss at any New York bagel spot. I was surprised that they were very adamant about the bagel for the salmon one not being toasted though so be prepared that this is more of a cold sandwich. Both items were delicious and fairly priced. The schmear is plenty and very pertinent to what makes it authentic. They have a variety of bagel and cream cheese flavors to choose from. A good spot to get bagels from and we'll be back! read more
The bagels had a great chew to them! I really enjoyed eating it, but didn't BLOW my mind. Also, I was really hoping to get a BEC sandwich and they were all out of eggs. Next time I will go earlier because I would love to try that and maybe try a more fun cream cheese! I got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. The seasoning blend on the everything bagel was great. The inside of the place was so cute and has a little fireplace with seating. The employees were so friendly, it really felt like a family establishment! read more
Marigold Bagels makes some really terrific bagels. When it comes to a great bagel, yes the flavor is important, but to me it is all about the chew, and Marigolds' Bagels offer a wonderful unforgettable chewy texture. I picked up an Asiago and a sesame bagel, including a hot cup of black drip coffee. The bagels are $3.50 each but .50 cents more the cheddar jalapeno and the Asiago, as of 1/26. The Asiago bagel was delicious and had a great chew. I loved that they did not hold back on the asiago cheese and the way it crusted on the bagel. The sesame bagel also came with an abundance of toasted sesame and tasted great. The service was up beat and friendly. They offer some inside and outside seating. I look forward to trying some of their other flavors. read more

YUMMM! This bagel filled me up, was delicious, and had the perfect amount of crispy bacon. I got the B.EC. It was a bit greasy but not that I minded. You can see in the photos how great the cheese pull is and how much crispy bacon is on there. Definitely coming back! read more
Marigold had some stumbles at the beginning but are figuring things out and rolling out new items and expanding their offerings week over week. We arrived to a line at 8am on a Sunday which moved fairly quickly for a bunch of people who hadn't looked at their menu before. We ordered a salt, everything, jalapeño cheddar, Asiago, and a sesame bagel. We purchase two small sides of cream cheese (garlic chive and scallion) to try while we dined there. The salt bagel with scallion was very good and the jalapeño with garlic chive was very tasty. Marigold is seasoning their dough nicely and the bagels taste just as good the next day, which is a true test for me. These reheated well and maintained their integrity and flavor. read more
After a month of trying to make it in, I finally made it...and they did not disappoint! There's a nice outside patio in the Blvd. to people-watch while you enjoy your bagel, otherwise, inside is nice and open with a few table and cute fireplace with a nice hearth. Staff is kind and welcoming, I was warmly greeted by the bagel-making crew as I entered, which was nice. I tried their #1 The Utopia (bagel + cream cheese) -- sesame bagel + scallion spread. Bagel was lightly toasted and slightly chewy, which was perfect! The scallion cream cheese was yummy and creamy, not overly oniony -- just right. I added sliced tomato, which elevated this to a perfect meal! The cool sweetness of the tomato with the oniony creaminess of the spread on the sesame covered bagel, with its slight chewiness, was absolutely delightful. Looking forward to trying one of their breakfast sandwiches next. *Small parking lot behind building w/accessible parking and an accessible entrance. read more

Finally open! Welcome to North Park Marigold Bagels!! After three attempts, I finally got to try Marigold. Came around 8am on Thursday morning and was able to order in less than 10 minutes. Ordered half dozen for $21 and based on the super nice cashier's recommendation, I got the garlic chive spread to go with it for $8. Everything is my go to bagel, but the Za'atar was something new and delicious that I tried. Bagel had great bite and chew outside with the right amount of soft inside. Really enjoyed the bagel and can't wait to keep coming back. read more

The long awaited bagel stop in north park came very close to the bagel shops in New York I'm used to. They have a plethora of bagels and shmears--personally I really enjoyed their seasonal ramp shmear (garlic/onion flavor). They are filled very well, great flavor and people behind the counter. Things to note, however, are they have very limited seating inside and out, no coffee drinks and they will not let you customize. I think the biggest shock and disappointment was the customization since building a bagel sandwich to what you want is the best part. Though they let you pick your bagel and shmear for a plain, cold sandwich option they do not let you do that for any of the hot sandwiches. For example, you can't add any veggies to a BEG or a shmear even though they are already customizing the cold sandwiches. If you're wanting seating or a drink you can go next door to Madeline's ! read more
