    Asiago bagel with chive cream cheese add tomato
    Kyra M.

    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.

    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 :)

    My friends and I walked there on a Saturday morning and the line was already out the door! It's a busy place, so expect to wait a bit. There's a few indoor tables and couches as well as an outdoor patio. B.E.C. with Salt Bagel - A classic and my go-to breakfast bagel. The bacon was thick and eggs were fluffy. It was definitely filling but almost too salty from the salt bagel. The Jersey Girl - I didn't try it but my friend got it and liked it. She kept half and ate it later and it was still good! The bathroom was pretty yucky. There is just stalls and sinks, so co-ed, and is also by the opened-back door so I felt like anyone could just go use it. Half the toilets were clogged and the ones that were open had no toilet paper.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Finally tried their brick and mortar location and the bagel quality is still incredible. Expect a bit of a line on weekends, but still nothing compared to the long lines they used to have at farmers markets. Added tomato to the bagel and cream cheese and it added a nice freshness to cut the richness of the cream cheese. The garlic chive cream cheese is still to die for.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    The Utopia w/sesame bagel & scallion shmear, added tomato. So good! Nice chew to the bagel.

    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.

    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.

    Whenever we travel, we're on a mission to find a true New York-style bagel, and Marigold Bagels did not disappoint. We finally found that "East Coast" texture right here in San Diego! The bagels are exactly what you want: a crisp exterior, a dense, chewy inside, and that signature small hole. You can even watch them being hand-rolled in the shop, which explains the quality. My only minor gripe was that they were sold out of plain bagels (my usual gold standard) by the time we arrived. We tried the sea salt instead; while the texture was perfect, it was a bit too salty for my personal preference. Definitely coming back early next time to snag a plain one!

I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.

My favorite part of the start of a new month is checking their monthly drink and donut specials. This month nothing really called my name but they did have a weekend special that really appealed to me. I have had some of their bagel style sandwiches before and ohhhh goodness they are good. This time it was my favorite style of sandwich, a bahn mi. I had high hopes because of the picture they posted on their social media and just the level of creativity they usually bring. Considering it's North Park, I knew ordering online would be the best option and picking up. My estimated time was 15-20 minutes but it only took them under 10. I got an order ready notification before I even left the house. I got there and it was dead, maybe one other person in and out. There's a lot of seating inside and some outside on their patio. They also have different counters for ordering and pick up which helps speed things up. My experience with service was very transactional, nothing bad just nothing to really highlight. Let's talk about this bahn mi. It's promoted as marinated and charred pork shoulder, house made sweet aioli, nuoc cham compound butter, pickled carrot and daikon, mint, cilantro, and jalapeño on a locally sourced Paris baguette. First off, nuoc cham compound butter?? YES. That is the kind of creativity I love to see. I got my sandwich and the wrapper was pretty oily so the sandwich itself looked kind of glossy. The whole thing felt a little rushed, like everything was just thrown on. I will say I wasn't expecting a generous amount of meat but they delivered in that aspect. I first wanted to try the compound butter on its own and it had a slight nuoc cham flavor, but in the sandwich it didn't really stand out past all the bolder flavors. Now if you've seen my other reviews, the best part of a bahn mi to me is the pickled daikon and carrots. These might be the best I have ever had anywhere. They are exactly how I prefer them, sweet with a slight acidity and THICK CUT. The crunch on these... please let me buy a whole jar. The bread was alright, they mention they source it locally so it's not made in house, but mine leaned a little old and I could tell through the texture. The pork was marinated really well, I do wish some of the pieces were more charred because you could see where some of it didn't hit direct flame. This also came with a side of what tasted like a hoisin vinaigrette. I liked the creativity but felt like the sandwich didn't need it. It was way too acidic and strong and there's not much need for that sharp vinegar hit here. I paired my bahn mi with a miso caramel matcha latte. This was expensive, a 12oz for $8 is steep even for matcha. It was good but not amazing. It leans more sweet than matcha forward. The miso caramel actually surprised me though. At other cafes it usually comes off more like a salted caramel, but here it had more depth, slightly savory, and when mixed with the milk it came out really creamy and smooth. The matcha was a little grainy though. Overall I will definitely be back and will keep my eye out for more specials because that's where they really shine. And seriously, if they ever let me buy those pickled carrots and daikon by the jar, I'm there immediately.

    Another north Park neighborhood joint. I come here for when I'm feeling for a bagel and smear -…read moresomething quick and on the go. Love that there's a patio area to enjoy, and if you have a dog, it's a perfect spot for both of you to enjoy. Note - dogs aren't allowed inside (unless they are a service animal). I've gotten the salmon gravlax, which is pretty solid, but I add extra capers cream cheese, as the original order doesn't slather it on. WORTH it tho. I'd probably try it with an add on of tomato the next time. The ice strawberry matcha is pretty good too. Overall, it's a pretty cool spot for a quick bite!
