    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

There was also a yogurt-like cream on the bottom, and I personally could have gone without this cream, but loved the drink nonetheless! Service: You self order, and the drink comes out pretty fast in five to ten minutes. The cashiers are nice and call you by your name! Ambiance: The best quality about this cafe is it's such a nice place to study with many tables inside, a few tables outside, and a clean bathroom. Parking is also easy with a upstairs lot facing Vivot! There's also a bit of area to walk around the cafe for a study break! Also huge shout out to this cafe's hours as they're open from 7 AM-11 PM, so you feel no rush to quickly finish your tasks! Please come to Vivot for not only a refreshing drink, but a beautiful place to study that is open late!

    My second time here…read more Drinks: underwhelming. Not well proportioned ingredients between the chosen flavor, milk and matcha. Waterdowned with plenty of ice. Price: overpriced for both drinks and sandwivhes. Although I don't mind paying extra for a satisfying drink, this one is not one of those. Ambiance: the walls, decor, plants and furnitures needs plenty of improvement. It looked like they were going for a minimalist look but it seems too bland and all over the place. I appreciate the music but the overall ambiance is not very inviting. Service: self serve to order and they ask for tip? The customers are expected to clear the tables and put away food and drink containers. It doesn't make sense. Parking: it's downtown fullerton, unless you know the area, it might be difficult for you to find parking especially during peak hours. But there's a couple of parking structure nearby which is a plus because it's covered and free. By the way, I initially ordered the classic strawberry matcha for comparison to other matcha drinks I've had from other cafes and I came the 2nd time to try the matcha flight to give it a chance but I was underwhelmed on both times. On both occasion I ordered my drinks with coconut milk and it was so overpowering and matcha flavor is very mild and with addition of plenty of ice, it taste like a waterdowned green drink that's milky in flavor.

The inside of this place is quaint, a decent amount of seating and chill music. Probably a good study spot. Very clean too. I ordered the Caramel Bliss latte (got it half sweet)... it's a caramel latte with vanilla cold foam and caramel drizzle. The prices here are good! The coffee is advertised as $5.99 and after tax comes out to about $6.50 which is still cheaper than most coffee shops these days. The drinks itself tasted amazing! Not too sweet and great flavor. I liked that you can actually taste the coffee. I think since it has cold foam it's still on the sweeter side so if you don't like coffee too sweet maybe skip the foam.

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. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. 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! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries.

The variety is definitely one of the strongest points here. We tried the Matcha Cruffin, Onion Cream Bread, and Three Cheese Bagel. The Onion Cream Bread was the best of the three. The cream was light and balanced well with the bread, but the onion flavor was pretty much lost. I could barely taste it. The Matcha Cruffin was disappointing. There was matcha powder on top, but absolutely no matcha filling inside. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe or simply missed the filling in ours, but for something sold as a matcha cruffin, I expected an actual matcha presence beyond the topping. The Three Cheese Bagel, made with cheddar, cream cheese, and mozzarella, had good flavor but the texture was much too hard. We were dining in and had it warmed up, yet the bread was still tough and the cheese inside had already hardened. Service was fine, but nothing stood out. Overall, great selection and a nice space, but the pastries we tried were inconsistent.

It's quite inconspicuous if driving past the cafe, but as we walked toward it, we noticed customers using their patio. We were greeted as we walked up to order using the kiosk. A few of the tables have handwritten notes underneath clear glass. I noticed many heartfelt messages that sparked my imagination as to how the writers must've felt. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with chatter from local customers who seemed to know the owners well. We had also played a card game after eating, so this cafe is good for that as well. The owners were friendly and even took our plates and cups once we were finished. There's very limited parking right next to the cafe, so I had to make use of residential streets. However, it's worth making a trip here to try this coffeehouse. Also, It's interesting how they open early at 7 am per Google Maps. I usually don't see cafes opening that early, but this is a good tidbit of information for the future.
