Hands down the best bagel in Orange County -- and it's not even close. Rise Bagels in Irvine is the real deal. The cinnamon raisin bagel paired with the ube cream cheese is an absolute must-try. They have so many unique cream cheese flavors to choose from that it's honestly hard to decide -- but whatever you do, don't leave without trying the egg salad sandwich. It's the closest thing to an authentic Japanese egg sando I've found in OC: perfectly creamy, delicate, and just right. This place is doing something special. Whether you're a bagel purist or someone who loves a creative twist, Rise has something for you. Already planning my next visit! read more

Phenomenal. No notes. Got the Breakfast Sando on everything w bacon. *Chefs Kiss* Bagel is fresh, shear is fresh, stacked sandwich that didn't make you feel heavy after. Ordering two at a time next time. Also very nice staff, very attentive and friendly. read more

I've tried a lot of bagel spots, but Rise Bagels in Irvine really stands out. I've had both the One Fish and the Tokyo 7/11, and they each bring something unique to the table. As someone who loves a good lox bagel, the One Fish was a highlight for me. The yuzu kosho adds this light, citrusy kick that makes the whole thing feel super fresh and balanced. Overall, I love supporting Asian owned businesses, and this is definitely one bagel spot to keep on your radar if you're in Irvine! :D read more

Bagel spot with an Asian twist! I was so surprised at the different Asian/Pacific inspired sandwich and bagel flavor options! Ended up getting the 7/11 on an everything bagel and lox on a Furikake bagel. The egg salad in the 7/11 was so fluffy and not as heavy as I would've thought - RECOMMEND! The flavors on the lox bagel were also so light and bright - ALSO RECOMMEND! It came with lemon cream cheese which was a perfecttttt pairing to the lox topping. I feel the Furikake flavor on the bagel didn't come through as much as I would've expected, but very cool that they offer that flavor nonetheless. Check them out! read more

Do these bagels rise up from the rest? Perhaps! I came by after seeing foodies online rave about it. It's hidden between office buildings, and honestly, if no one posted about it, you probably wouldn't know it exists unless you worked nearby. We weren't sure where to park, so we ended up parking at the Equinox lot since it's free on weekends (without need of validation) and an easy walk over. The cafe has plenty of seating inside and outside. We got there around noon on a Saturday. There was no line to order, but a lot of the tables were already taken. You order at the register and then find a seat. With all the unique bagels on the menu, we ordered the KBBQ on a sesame bagel and the Pokémon on a furikake bagel. They were huge! The bagels tasted house made, slightly thinner and dense rather than fluffy. For bagels with this many toppings, it actually worked in their favor since it didn't feel too heavy. - KBBQ sandwich on sesame bagel: Very hearty and honestly reminded me more of a kimchi jjigae/stew than KBBQ. It didn't just have regular bulgogi or glazed meat inside, from what you'd expect. Even so, it still tasted delicious! - Poke open faced furikake bagel: The poke was so fresh, which surprised me! Paired with cucumbers and cream cheese, it was super refreshing. I would have never thought of this combo, but it worked really well. This spot brings a really unique take on bagels with flavor combos I haven't tried before. I think it's worth trying, and I'd come back to try other options like the egg salad and birria. read more

Located within a huge office complex with what I assume to be validated parking in the structure. We ordered online and parked in a drop-off area for a few mins, so not 100% sure. If you don't order online, you order at the register. Indoor and outdoor private patio seating, but there's also tons of communal outdoor seating in a beautiful setting. My wife saw their poke bagel on social media and had to try it. I got the chicken club bagel sandwich and an ube blueberry latte. Sandwich was supper drippy and messy, but delicious! Latte was so sweet that I couldn't tell there was any coffee in it (is there?!?). I was happy with both choices. read more

So you have to park in the parking structure and look for signs to Rise Bagel. I wasn't prepared for that. Very friendly. So many options to try but for 1 person, I decided on the Korean bbq sandwich for this visit on jalapeño cheddar bagel. It's freshly made for you so you will need to wait for it. I ended seeing their desserts and decided to try the carrot cake slice with no nuts. ($7). The lemon bar also looked good so maybe next time. My sandwich was beautifully made and I took it to their little lake area. It was very flavorful! The eggs were fluffy and I liked the flavor composition. It is on the pricey side though for a bagel sandwich with no side or anything. It wouldn't be something I get often but I am glad to have tried them. The bagel was soft and chewy as well. I also tried the carrot cake slice when I got home. It's moist and has good flavor. Cream cheese frosting is good as well, not too thick. SYOY! read more

New bagel shop that opened near my office with some indoor and outdoor seating. Came by for lunch with my coworkers. The staff was friendly and recommended to get the birria bagel sandwich.

New bagel shop that opened in November. Finally got to try it. It's the same owner/chef that used to operate Toast in Costa Mesa. Big area and big parking structure. We wandered around looking for it the first time. Just park next to the tesla charging area and walk out of the parking garage towards the office buildings and it will be directly on your left. The bagels are so different and so good. They have a very light crispy outer shell and the inside is also light and airy. Not heavy and dense like regular bagels. The owner/chef plays on his Korean heritage. Lot of Korean themed flavors. Was told the most poplular were the egg salad and the lox. Both were excellent. The egg salad reminds me of the egg salad sandwiches you get in Japanese convenience stores but a little more elevated and on a bagel. The lox was excellent. The real star of the show was the bagel. So light, crispy outer, and light almost airy inside. Took a few home to go for the kids. Everything bagel and jalapeno cheddar. Toasted with chili crunch cream cheese. So good!! Lot of seating indoors and outdoors. Bonus: half of their profits go to LiNK. Liberty in North Korea. Helps North Koreans escape and with resettlement including finances, mentoring, education, housing, etc. read more

Cute bagel spot! I ordered to go and the service was very fast. They had unique flavors that I've never had before, I had a furikake bagel with lox, overall really tasty read some reviews that the bagels were tough, but I didn't get that impression, the ingredients tasted high-quality and fresh will be back. I do wish there was a little bit more cream cheese, but that's because I just love cream cheese, lol so might modify when I come back. read more

The bagels taste super fresh and have that perfect texture -- slightly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. You can really tell they put a lot of care into making them. While everything was great, I especially loved the bulgogi bake. It's such a good option if you want something a little different from a classic bagel sandwich. The bulgogi flavor is savory and really satisfying, and it pairs perfectly with the bagel. Definitely one of my favorite things we tried. Overall, it's a great spot if you're craving a good bagel, and I love that they offer both classic options and unique items like the bulgogi bake. I'd definitely come back again because there are so many things on the menu worth trying. read more

Just tried Rise Bagels at BagelFest West (which they won!) and was so impressed with the chef driven concept and presentation of their open faced bagel sandwiches. The Japanese egg salad sando inspired bagel with jammy egg was delicious. Since I prefer savory, I was not expecting to love the fruit bagel so much but they had me at Harry's Berries. Everything worked so well with the cookie butter schmear and beet ganache. Also, the owner is so friendly. I wish this were closer to me but will definitely check them out if I'm in the area. read more

The food itself was good and the service also was good I will say the bagel itself was a bit on the tougher side - I kind of struggled to cut into my open face ones especially the poke one. Overall a good experience and a really pretty piece of cake. read more

Definitely a different bagel experience, not your average bagel with cream cheese! Very interesting menu choices and will have to come back and try their Korean inspired choices. Parking is validated up to 90 minutes. Service is average, food came out fast. Not sure I will get the egg salad again but the bagel was great. Little gem in this office complex. read more

Definitely loved the bagels here but they are pretty expensive. I guess it's on par with other open face bagel places though. I shared 2 bagels with one other person and we were both stuffed after. The bagels themselves were overall really good and I liked the toppings too. For parking, we parked inside a big structure then walked to the shop which is like right between/part of some tall business buildings One fish: 5/5 got this on an everything bagel Pokemon: 5/5 got this on a furikake bagel which was a pretty unique option read more

Be prepared to park in the parking structure and look for signs to the various restaurants, including Rise Bagels. I tried the Poke Bagel and it was Out of This World!

Enjoy the surrounding environment while dining in! read more

New bagel shop in OC with an Asian twist?? Sign me up! This place is giving Boil and Bake vibes but make it Asian-inspired. The ingredients are sourced locally and it shows. I also heard the owners are former chefs of Toast Kitchen. Rise is tucked away in a corporate office/building plaza. You can park in the nearby parking garage and get it validated! Staff is very friendly and welcoming. All of their bagel flavors are quite unique and there was alot of thought put into each of their menu items. *There are no substitutions* I got the Farmer John and it was so refreshing and delicious; The sweet persimmons paired perfectly with the rich and tart cream cheese and then you get the herby brightness from the rau ram (vietnamese coriander) chimichurri. Unlike anything I've tasted before! I also tried the yuzu poppyseed snickerdoodle cookie and it was decent; slight crispy edges with a soft gooey center. It was very citrusy and sweet from both the cookie and icing on top as well. These bagels are def on the pricey side but I think it's totally worth it for the quality you are getting. I will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu. read more

I visited Rise Bagels and it was pretty solid but not crazy mind blowing. I felt like I could make the food myself as the prices did seem a bit unreasonable to me but, overall just solid. The service was good though, the worker helped me pick her top fave which was the Italian closed sandwich. The room in itself was clean, and there was lots of seating. They also offer 90 min validation! read more

I never thought I would fall victim to a bagel shop but this place sold me. I only tried the Tokyo 7/11 bagel but holy cow the amount of flavors incorporated into this bagel flows so well onto my taste buds. I think that this place has perfected the yolky egg and the amount of bagel to cream ratio on this was literally so perfect. The staff here is also super kind and willing to help. I cant wait to come back to try more of the bagels they offer here read more

Probably the best bagel spot I've tried in the area. I've only tried the breakfast bagel so far but I love that they include cream cheese, it's a 10/10. Their other bagels seem really unique and I hope to try them soon. It's located in a business park so you'll have to park in the structure read more

This new bagel shop has a unique concept, with both savory and sweet choices. It's a smaller store, but a good amount of seating, especially in the early morning! Unfortunately, as a vegetarian, there aren't many options, but my other non-veg friends enjoyed their bagels. I split a Farmer John bagel with a cookie butter spread on a salty bagel (you can pick the type of bagel), layered with a lot of fruit. I read in another review that this option used to have cream cheese, which I think might have been a better pairing with the fruit, as the cookie butter made the bagel taste more like a dessert. Overall, I liked the bagel itself, but the price wasn't justifiable for me. read more

Have been seeing Rise Bagels all over my feed lately, so I decided to check it out when I was in the Irvine area. Super excited to add an Asian-inspired bagel shop to my list! What We Ordered: Tokyo 7/11 - Almost nailed the Japanese egg sandwich vibe! My only critiques: a bit too much green onion, and could use more Kewpie mayo for a lighter taste. That said, I still really enjoyed it - the everything bagel with Furikake seasoning was a great touch that elevated the whole experience. One Fish - MY FAVORITE! This was the star of our order! The smoked salmon was absolutely divine - fresh and melted in my mouth with each bite. The toppings added the perfect acidity and lemon zest to tie all the flavors together. Definitely coming back just for this! Ambience: Clean and minimalistic with both inside and outside seating options Service: Quick and efficient (our bagels came out less than 5 minutes), with friendly staff who are more than excited to share their own favorites (which I love as someone coming here for the first time) Parking: Located in a paid parking lot, but they validate your parking with purchase (always appreciated!). Overall Impressions: - Great bagels with unique Asian-inspired twists on typical favorites - On the pricier side - each bagel costs around $20+ Bottom Line: Worth trying if you're craving creative, high-quality bagels with an Asian twist. The One Fish alone is worth the visit! read more

So many unique options to choose from! I was expecting just the classic lox & tomato bagel options when I came here, but I was so surprised to see that they offer a poke bagel (Pokemon), egg bagel (Tokyo 7/11) and even a fruity one (Farmer John)! As for the bagel itself, it was my first time seeing a furikake bagel being offered! Not only do they have these unique flavors, but they also have bagel soup bowls and a section on their menu for "Costco Food Court" items - the chicken bake and bulgogi bake. Since it was my first time, my friend and I decided to play it safe with their version of the classic lox, or "One Fish," which was amazing. I can't wait to come back and try all their other menu items! read more

Tried Rise Bagel after seeing it all over TikTok. It's a trendy, Asian-inspired bagel spot with a really unique menu. Lots of bagels and toppings you don't usually see, which makes it fun even if you're just reading the menu. I ordered the One Fish on a Furikake bagel, basically a lox bagel with a hint of yuzu. The yuzu on the salmon was the standout for me. Bright, citrusy, and different without being overpowering. It is a little pricey for a bagel, but I enjoyed it enough that I'd come back to try some of their other combinations. Good spot if you're looking for something different from your usual bagel order and don't mind paying a bit more to try something new. read more

The bagel is so fresh, fluffy, and crisp at the same time a the toppings are loadeddd. These bagels are so flavorful and I must come back to try their other flavors.

We arrived around 11am on a Monday and there were plenty of open tables, and no line to order. Food took less than 10 minutes to come out, and the person who took our order was very nice, telling us what goes well together and what's been popular. The inside is large, with lots of seating. Plenty of places to eat outside, too. It is a bit pricey for what it is, as 2 bagels and a drink set us back over $40. But, everything tasted really, really good. Definitely will be back to try other flavors! read more

Came by with some friends to give this place a try. We parked in the structure next door which has 30 min validation so make sure you bring your ticket. Took a while to find the place cause it's in the corner but you can find it next to the Tesla chargers and the fountain. Once we got inside we found a table for 4 and ordered our food, we each got a bagel and shared. Even though we ate there the food was still in Togo containers. They have a water station next to the utensils. Of them all, I think I like the BLT & KBBQ one the best. The salmon lox and Italian were okay. But they're huge and stacked so it's definitely filling. read more

Tried Rise Bagels and overall really enjoyed it. The bagels themselves are excellent -- chewy, well-toasted, and clearly high quality. The standout for me was The Tokyo 7/11. The egg salad was super creamy, well-seasoned, and balanced perfectly with the bagel. Simple, comforting, and done really well. I'm docking a star for The One Fish. It wasn't bad, but it didn't quite live up to expectations, especially considering the price. The flavors felt a bit underwhelming, and there are definitely other spots around OC that can compete (or even outperform) when it comes to salmon bagels. Pricing in general is on the higher side, which sets a higher bar -- and while some items absolutely deliver, others fall a little short of justifying the cost. That said, Rise Bagels is still worth checking out if you're craving a quality bagel. I'd definitely come back, but I'd lean toward the egg-based options like the Tokyo 7/11 next time. read more

Rise Bagels - Tokyo 7/11 and The One Fish - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

Interesting, unique, and creative open face bagels and bagel sandwiches located in an Irvine business park. If you remember where Mick's Karma Bar (RIP) used to be, it's over there. You park in the structure and they provide validation. The Tokyo 7/11 is topped with a light egg salad and IG ready with the jammy egg. The name of the bagel invokes fond memories of the Japan konbini but the $15 price make me hesitant to order again. The Two Fish on a furikake bagel had nice flavors, but I was disappointed by the amount of salmon and roe for $24. The Farmer John ($18) was topped with local, fresh, sweet, delicious seasonal citrus fruit. I think would have enjoyed the fruit more in yogurt parfait or even by itself. Putting it on a bagel seems unnecessary. The McDeez ($16) was a good savory breakfast sandwich with sausage patty, egg, hasbrown, and American cheese. I enjoyed it with some ketchup. Hashbrown could have been crispier. Tasty though. Overall, I like what they are doing, but it's too pricy for me to be a regular. read more

Our experience here was so delightful. Sam who took our order was incredibly nice, giving us suggestions on what bagel type to order with our meal. He suggested two of the most popular items, Tokyo 7/11 (if you're a fan of egg salad this is your jam!) and Get J jigae with it which has cucumbers, scrambled eggs, bulgolgi and the texture is just incredible. So incredibly packed with the best seasoning, no wonder this spot is becoming so popular so make your way over here. What made me fall in love with this place even more is that they are a nonprofit, so 33% of their profits go towards North Korean refugees, I mean how amazing is that?! We loved the made from scratch jam that came with the peanut butter and jelly so much that I ended up buying a container to take home with me. Their poppyseed snickerdoodle was so softy and chewy. They have drinks that I need to try next time but I'm so happy they are here and don't worry about parking, they will validate! It's got plenty of seating inside and out and it's perfect for a weekend hangout with family/friends. We love a business that is doing wondering things for their community as well. This year it's about giving back and we are here for it! read more

Very spacious, clean interior with lots of tables and seating inside and outside. Located in a business plaza. Park in garage and get it validated. We got two open face bagel sandwhiches for $42. Pretty pricey :( - 7/11 egg sando bagel: 6.0/10. The egg sando was a bit bland and I did not like the add ins of green onions and celery in the egg salad. - two fish: 7.0/10. Basic lox bagel but with salmon roe on top. wish there was more salmon roe on it, definitely considering the price. overall, expensive bagels not worth it ! read more

located in the same area as kit coffee near the embassy suites in irvine, so parking only available in the structure (i think they provide either 1-1.5 hours of validation!) staff were friendly and offered some samples of their drinks which are made in house! decent amount of seating available (there's also lots of outdoor seating!) service is pretty fast! i ordered the one fish open face bagel, which was pretty good! good balance of something filling but not too heavy. the fish was fresh and balanced nicely with the brightness of the lemon and tomato. the onions and dill offered a nice crunch and different flavors the only con is the price! this one sand which and drink cost almost $30! def something to keep in mind and take into consideration if you're looking for a cheap lunch read more

Phenomenal bagel sandwich. Perfect for breakfast/brunch. Ordered the Tokyo 7.11 which is essentially an egg sando on a sesame bagel (btw you can choose a different bagel). They do also add a hard boiled egg in the center. Soooo delicious. Devoured it completely. Gone in 60 seconds literally. Washed it down with Vietnamese coffee which was the perfect mix. Wish they also made matcha...perhaps some time in the future. Can't wait to come back and try their other bagel sandwiches. Highly recommend it! read more

asian inspired bagels!! i'd say these are the most unique bagels around what we tried: tokyo 7/11- egg salad get jigae with it- bulgogi kimchi wu tang- asian chicken wonton salad pokemon- tuna poke yuzu poppy cookie cookie butter latte strawberry matcha all the bagels were delicious!! i'm obsessed with the variety they have on the menu. each bagel was so flavorful in its own way!! if i had to pick favs, i'd go with the "get jigae with it" and the "pokemon", but you truly cannot go wrong with any!!! the yuzu cookie was also great, it tasted just like a lemon poppy seed muffin! the drinks were very unique, as the latte wasn't with coffee and actually with a korean wheat like drink- i also didn't taste any cookie butter. the strawberry matcha had a good strawberry flavor to it. tbh i wasn't into these drinks, so i'd recommend trying their juices/coffees instead! i'm not including these drinks with my rating bc the bagels were so good the ambiance is nice inside, as they have a good amount of seating! it's not too big of a space, but it works. there's also a small patio outside! there is a parking structure right next to it- it's the only place to park. you can get your ticket validated from them tho! i think it might only cover around an hour and a half tho, so any longer than that you'd have to pay the service was great! the staff is very friendly :) i took the bagels outside to get some shots in the sun, but that failed as one of the bagels fell bc of the wind they were so nice and gave us a new one i would definitely recommend this spot!! you have to try it out for your next breakfast brunch or lunch :P read more

When I heard that Rise Bagels made bagels with Asian flavors, I couldn't wait to try them! They are located at the bottom floor of an office complex, with a parking garage conveniently located next to them. I came during lunch and they were backed up with orders, so we had to wait a bit. The One Fish ($20) is their lox bagel, with citrus-cured salmon and yuzu kosho pickled onions. I've eaten a lot of lox bagels, and this one was a little too citrusy for me, since it also had a lemon schmear. I absolutely loved the Tokyo 7/11 ($13), with that jammy egg on top of egg salad on a furikake bagel (seriously, why aren't more places making furikake bagels). Tried a sample of their blueberry lemonade, which was great! Don't sleep on their pastries. Their chocolate mousse cake ($8) caught my eye and it was amazing - very light and not too sweet. Their Oreo banana cream pie ($14) was good but paled in comparison. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is friendly and they will validate parking. read more

Rise Bagels - 7.5/10 Aesthetic & Ambiance: 8/10 - Minimal and clean with a decent amount of seating (indoor & outdoor). Ambiance is quick for most with a few people dining in with friends. Service: 7/10 Fast and friendly, but they do not take any modifications to the food. PB&J Bagel: 7.5/10 - The bagel itself was tasty, and the concept sounded good, but something just didn't deliver. I felt it was more just artisan designed for images, I wish it had more than just the "drizzle" of fruit sauce. read more
