    Its so bussin!!

    The bagels slap. We got caprese and salmon delight soooo good. We come here weekly and the food is amazing and its always nice to support family owned businesses!

    Cream cheese & Avocado, amazing!
    Natalie J.

    Addicting bagels! I recommend the cream cheese & avocado on a plain or onion bagel, they put lemon pepper seasoning on it & the combination of flavors is incredible. The bagels have a perfect amount of chew. The portions are great but given how amazing they are, you'll want to order another. The place is clean & the employees have a great attitude! Always excited to come here!

    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!

    Bagels are good but to salty for me. Nick the owner is a nice guy. Plenty of seating. Clean.

    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.

    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!

    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~~~~~

    Do not spend a single dollar here. Allergen requests ignored, orders wrong, zero accountability…read more If you have a food allergy, do not eat here. Full stop. The written menu advertises nondairy milk and ingredient modifications, but the kiosk doesn't actually let you select any of them. Staff told us to put substitutions in "special comments" and promised they'd be honored. They weren't- on a single order, twice. We ordered two coffees (oat milk, whole milk) and two customized breakfast burritos. It took 40 minutes. We were the only customers in the cafe. When the food came out, nothing was labeled / not the drinks, not the burritos- and staff couldn't tell us which was which. When I explained that one of us has a dairy allergy and asked them to identify the allergen-free items, I got a blank stare. We opened both burritos: both had cheese, despite my explicit no-cheese request. Their solution? "Can you pick it out?" No. You cannot pick out melted cheese from an allergen order. I was not offered a fresh burrito, just another blank stare until I specifically stated "I need you to remake this with the proper ingredients and confirm what you put in." Once again the burrito came out with no label, and when I asked for clarity on what was in it I was again met me with a blank stare. My partner's burrito was also wrong (pico she'd asked to have removed), but by then the 40-minute wait had made her late for work. When I asked for a refund on her incorrect meal, I was told they couldn't refund it "because she left." When I asked to leave written feedback: "we don't accept written feedback." Manager? Not in. Manager's phone number? Don't have it. But here's what pushed this from bad service to abominable: there is no way to hold this place accountable. At no point did anyone acknowledge a mistake had been made or make any real attempt to fix it- every wrong order was met with a shrug and the expectation that I'd just live with it. When I asked to leave written feedback, I was told they don't accept it. When I asked for the manager, they weren't in. When I asked for a manager's phone number or someone to contact, the employee "didn't have access to that." A business that serves people with food allergies MUST have a way for customers to flag problems in real time and reach management. This place has built a system where mistakes can't be reported, refunds can't be issued, and no one is responsible for anything. To be clear, this isn't on the line staff - one employee clearly hadn't been given the language support or training to succeed, and that's a management failure. The other younger employee was just incompetent and unhelpful, even though she was clearly aware of the requests. If you advertise allergen accommodations, you have to execute them, label them, and answer for it when you don't. Until this place fixes its ordering system, its labeling, and its total lack of accountability, spend your money literally anywhere else.

The design of the space is clever---there are bench seats along the wall, long tables in the middle, and small circle tables on the sides. It's efficient and maximizes seating without feeling cramped or crowded. It's also an East-facing shop so it's shady--- even at 3 PM it was nice and cool inside. There are also some outlets! I would definitely study here if I was in the area. Gabe was really friendly, and helped me choose a great latte. I bought the Single Origin Okumidori Matcha iced latte, and it was the perfect level of sweetness. I didn't even have to adjust the level by some percentage; the standard blend is fresh, with just enough sugar to accent rather than overpower the beautiful matcha flavor.

I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty.

Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed!
