    Salmon delight! Fresh salmon in every bite! So good
    Gina H.

    Everything was great!! Bagels are very fresh, made fresh everyday. I had an onion bagel with turkey, cheese, egg and pesto which I never tasted before. It was the best bagel sandwich in town!

    Salmon delight with sprouts added

    This is the best bagel in Orange County!! Just recently moved back to my hometown and was in desperate search for a solid bagel. Saw all the positive reviews and came here an hour before closing. Susie was AMAZING - the absolute BEST service ever. There were so many options, and I couldn't just pick one! Now I have bagels for the next week. When I came home to finally eat the Salmon Delight, I was literally giggling at how it hit the spot. Cravings have been satisfied! My husband asked for my other half because it looked so good and agreed it was the best bagel shop. 10/10 happy to now have my bagel staple! Thank you Susie for being the best!! Also, a previous review mentioned how the music they play is good, and I recall that being a funny review comment, but I can confirm the ambiance was immaculate. I was dancing while waiting for my bagels. Shop is cute and cozy too!

    My husband and I stopped by Nick's Bagels and Espresso in Fullerton for the first time a few weeks ago. As former New Yorkers, we have been on the hunt to find a bagel place we love in the North Orange County area. Unfortunately, Nick's Bagels and Espresso in Fullerton was not this place for us, which was a big disappointment since fellow Yelpers seem to love them. Perhaps, we came on an off-day, but the bagels were not good. They were extremely dry and had a weird a texture with each bite. My husband and I each ordered a breakfast sandwich: - egg, sausage, and cheese on an egg bagel - egg and bacon on a garlic bagel The components inside the bagel were great, but unfortunately, could not salvage our disappointment with the bagels themselves. The staff working that morning were also fantastic. Kind, patient, and efficient. The staff on their own deserve their own star for this rating. Definitely the kind of people you want to start your morning with. The store has some seating inside and outside for customers to enjoy their food. They also have plenty of free parking shared among the other businesses in the lot they're located in. Perhaps, we came on an off-day or we're just not used to this type of preparation of the bagels.

    2nd week in a row stopping by Nick's! This place is the best, great customer service, bagels are delicious, and drinks are bomb!

    We had a great experience here after leaving the chiropractor a few doors down. We ordered 2 bagel sandwiches, and a bagel with a side of cream cheese. All was fresh and delicious the bagels were dense not fluffy but they were still tasty. The service was excellent here.

    Salmon with avocado

    It was so delicious Bagels are fresh and delicious I like that there are many options!! Thank you for the food~~~~~

    Its so bussin!!

    So goooooood! I love all the bagels here, its my go to bagel spot for good service and tasty bagels

    Salmon with Cream Cheese on Everything Bagel
    Czarina V.

    Scrumptious and never frugal on ingredients. We usually get their salmon offerings and my (and my daughter's go-to) PBJ--what childhood dreams are made of! We also brought home a dozen bagels and their heavenly cream cheese during this visit because we can never get enough of Nick's.

I had ordered a milk tea and their Thai tea and was super disappointed with the flavor it was complete milk unfortunately and no sweeteners despite us having the 100% sweetener option. The drinks came out very far from each other time wise as well which isn't a super big issue but it's noticeable and could be an issue for bigger orders. Super busy somehow so we didn't want to burden the worker while the store had a rush. Other than that the place gave me a very pretentious vibe. I'm all for starting a business you're passionate about but it's hard to see what's different about THIS cafe in a world full of other businesses claiming to be different that's serving the same items (matcha specifically). Not to say that there's not bad matcha or coffee out there, there is. Seems like the type of cafe people go to take a picture of their drinks and pretend like they're connoisseurs and pretend that it's "different" than whatever else is out there and sit and pretend to study on their laptop (even though it's the loudest and crowded place in the world in there). Seeing that the place opened recently, it's very hard to believe this isn't some type of money grab for a younger audience to serve trendy drinks. Or at the very least, a very expensive passion project for the owner. Overall just more focused on aesthetics more than anything.

They had so many cake selections, plus pastries and drinks, which definitely makes me want to come back and actually spend more time there. Even though it was super busy, the service was impressively fast and efficient. One employee helped take my order and package everything up, and the cashier rang me up quickly, so the whole process was seamless and perfect when you're on a lunch break. The atmosphere felt very family-friendly, and despite how busy it was, the experience was still smooth. Parking is free, there's a small lot directly in front, but if that fills up, there's additional parking in the connected plaza, which makes it easy. I didn't get to try the cake but brother-in-law and sister said the cake was delicious. If you're in the Fullerton area and looking for a cute dessert spot with lots of options, this is definitely worth checking out!
