The bagels here really match my Korean palate. I loved all tbe flavors. The texture of the bagels is less hard in comparison to traditional bagels. My husband and I were a fan because they're easier to chew and less of a jaw workout. Even the lox on the bagel was less salty and not as fishy which we liked. I saw that they had ssamjang cream cheese and jjajang cream cheese I think on the special menu. I'll have to come back to try those next! The environment inside the store is really nice, but the real winner is the corporate plaza's outside seating by the fountain area. What a great location with an amazing view. This is a great place to get a morning bagel and take a stroll. read more

Rise Bagels - Kimchi cheese bagel with green onion cream cheese, traditional lox bagel - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

Not the best bagel I've had but unique flavors with an Asian twist. Rise is located in a business complex, parking is in a structure but can get validated at shop. They have unique flavors like poke, bulgogi, fried chicken shmear, and ube. I got the poke bagel on furikake and hubby got the bulgogi. Also got matcha and coffee. Price for bagels is $15-$20 bit steep. Poke bagel (7.5/10)-generous amount of poke not overly salty but could t get the bagel flavor due to the overpowering poke Bulgogi (6/10)-dry but meat flavor was good need sauce on side The matcha wasn't the best I've had and can't adjust sweetness. The bagels are pretty and tik tok hype but I've had better bagels. I would like to try the bagels with the unique spreads next time read more

Rise Bagels - Poke bagel - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

We visited Rise Bagels around 1 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. The shop is really spacious with plenty of seating inside, and there's a nearby parking structure where they validate your parking, which makes visiting pretty easy. We ordered the Tokyo 7-11 and Peach Jasmine Tea. The bagel was SO good and easily the highlight for me. It is a little pricey, but I thought the quality was there. The tea was solid too and paired nicely with the meal. The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, especially when explaining the menu and answering our questions. Overall, we had a great experience at Rise Bagels. There are so many other things on the menu that caught our attention, so we'd definitely love to come back and try more! read more

I can agree that the bagels are quite pricey, but I did enjoy my birria bagel. The strawberry bagel I got for my kids was surprisingly good too. Service was great! Upon entering we were offered a menu and they brought the order to the table. The establishment is beautiful. Thank you to the yelp review that mentioned that they validate parking. I like the clean aesthetic of the establishment. I think its a fun twist on your regular bagel and if you're worried about the cost split with a friend ;) read more

Came back to Rise, this time with my fam! We shared the Lox (on sesame), Avocado Toast (on everything) , and KBBQ (on furikake). Everything was so yummy and three bagels definitely filled us up. The Lox bagel was super fresh with the heirloom tomatoes and perfect amount of lox. The avocado bagel had a very generous portion of avocado and I liked the cucumber addition. The KBBQ bagel was one I had before, but so good I had to have my fam try. read more

After trying Rise Bagels twice, I can say I'm solidly a fan! I love the Asian inspired bagels on the menu. The shop is located in a business complex with Tesla superchargers so Rise is the perfect place to grab a bite while charging. Plus they offer validation. Egg Salad w/ Kimchi Fontina Bagel (5/5) - This open faced bagel was amazing. If you love egg salad sandwiches from 7 Elevens in Japan, this bagel is an American twist but just as delicious. The kimchi bagel paired perfectly with the creamy hearty egg salad with a jammy egg. Poke w/ Furikake Bagel (5/5) - There's nothing better than fresh poke piled on a delicious bagel. This was a hearty meal that I enjoyed for breakfast and lunch. read more

Rise Bagels - Bagels: Poke (our fave!), Lox, Egg Salad - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

The ahi tuna on the poké bagel was so fresh. I couldn't believe how good it was considering fish is not what they're known for. I'd argue the quality is better than some actual poké shops. I have to say though that a bagel is not the best vehicle to eat it. All of it fell onto the plate so I pretty much ate it with a fork and then took a bite of my bagel. The lox is different from your traditional bagel in that it's citrus cured. On top of that it has yuzu kosho pickled onion and lemon schmear so the citrus flavor is quite bold. It wasn't particularly my favorite and it was on the expensive side for what it was. There were plenty of seats indoors and outdoors considering it was a Monday at noon and most people were ordering to-go. The workers were nice and it's pretty spacious. Parking is available in the nearby lot and they validate for 90 minutes. read more

Best bagels I've had in my entire life. I ordered though DoorDash so I can give you an experience of the interior of the place. But the bagels look phenomenal. The bagels tasted amazing. I order the poke, egg sando, and bulgogi bagels and they weee amazing from the first bite to the very end. This business is an easy 5/5 stars. I want to go back already when I'm in SoCal again. Will definitely be back my go too spot whenever I'm in SoCal again in the OC area. read more

Had super high hopes for this spot because of all the hype, but it didn't completely live up to my expectations. I got the poke bagel and although I did appreciate how loaded it was with flavor and toppings, I did find it to be a little too heavy. I also wish that the bagels were a bit softer. However, service was great and it's located in a very nice area. I would come back to try another flavor read more

Rise Bagels - Poke bagel - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

My sister was telling me about this spot, noting that it was quite popular. We were in the area and we decided to stop by. Getting there was not really an issue, parking was fairly easy. You can park in the underground parking garage, grab a ticket. You can get a validation stub from inside which you use when exiting. I think the validation lasts for 90 minutes, in case you wanted to grab a bagel and chill for a while. Place was very close to the parking garage on the ground level. It seemed bright and open, modern and unique. They had some specialty items on the right hand side that you could purchase. (coffee, balsamic, other unique selected items) Their menu consisted of different kind of bagels, with different kinds of schmears. They also had some specialty items like the lox bagel, pepperoni pizza bagel, Kbbq, fruit, poke, smash burger. They definitely had some unique flavors at this place. I ended up getting a furikake bagel with green onion cream cheese. 4/5 3 cookies: Ube Blueberry Snickerdoodle: 4/5 This one had the best chewiness to it. Yuzu Poppyseed Snickerdoodle: 4/5 The yuzu flavor was delicious. Salted Caramel: 5/5 This one had big chunks of chocolate and the sea salt was perfect. For the furikake bagel, it was not bad, it seemed jammed packed outside with seeds etc. It was good, but it didn't quite make me think of furikake. I expected more seaweed. Do I think this is the best bagel I've had? No, but all of it put together was tasty. The green onion schmear was really good. It was packed with a lot of slivers of green onion. It was served toasted, the schmear was melty and good. If you think this is just a sprinkle of green onions, it is not. If you love green onion, you'll enjoy this one. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5 read more

Decent bagels but the real star is their cream cheese. I really enjoyed how creative they were especially with the ube, yuzu and fried chicken. Their chicken bake was very similar to the Costco chicken bake with more chicken. However, for the price point, the Costco chicken bake is a more economical deal. Very nice staff and they validate 90 minutes. You do have to park in the structure as it's in those business complexes. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I hadn't been back here in a bit but it was just as great as I remembered! Today I tried the tuna melt on a Kimchi bagel. Half way through the sandwich, I got to the actual kimchi which gave it even more flavor, so I'd definitely recommend this bagel. The tuna was also fresh and had some pepperochinis on it to give it an extra kick. I want to try so many other things here!! The owner and staff are always so friendly and helpful it keeps you coming back. read more

This was my first time visiting and it was great ! The man taking our orders was very helpful when we had questions about the bagels and schmears. The poke bagel was so good! We got it on a furikake bagel with the sesame shoyu poke. It had so much poke on it! I also loved the cucumber and the imitation crab on it. I have never had anything like this. The tomato bagel was also good. I got it with the pista pesto schmear. The schmear was amazing, it complimented the tomato really well. I also appreciated how the tomato was seasoned and I liked the thinly sliced onions on it. I would definitely like to go back to try different things! read more

First time here, you can park in the parking structure and they validate your ticket for you! It was a little hard to find due to many of the business signages being harder to see against the building color, but we found it, woohoo! We ordered 2 lox bagels on everything, 1 asian chicken salad on everything, 1 pb&j on cinnamon raisin, and 1 pepperoni pizza bagel - Lox: as some reviewers have mentioned, the citrus cure seemed to overpower the lox flavor/left us wanting more prevalent smoked salmon flavor. Capers would've been a great garnish. Tomatoes were fresh and juicy, pickled onions add a punch - Asian Chicken Salad: chicken was cooked great (not over or rubbery at all!), we all shared this one and we all were wanting more allium flavors or maybe even more salt- cilantro, more onions diced in, more green onions diced in, would've REALLY made the flavors pop. 2 friends out us 4 ranked this the least favorite. - PB&J: the surprise winner, it was delicious and really hit the spot! A friend was worried the cinnamon raisin would be way too sweet but nope, she said it was balanced and greatly made - Pepperoni Pizza Bagel: LOVED the crispy pepperoni cups. Ranch dip is a must and the hot honey was a favorite among our friends, I opted to enjoy it with just ranch. It made me want red pepper flakes + parmesan cheese so this was also a great bagel. - Bagels were on the lighter side which I personally like because I can enjoy cream cheese + toppings more. Many bagelries I've been to have thick bagels, which is great, but I get stuffed from all the dough (lol!), so I enjoyed the lighter bagels here, but they did seem a little over toasted, as in crisper/harder. Really wanted to share our honest experience here with the bagel flavors as Rise has gotten so popular. As few have mentioned, for the price, more exceptional flavor was anticipated, so it was a true 3.5/5 experience for me personally. They also do not allow any modifications whatsoever at all. We got there late, they close at 2 pm, but they let us know we can stay to eat, but we didn't want to keep them waiting due to us late stragglers so we went outside to eat and it was beautiful and really nice! Ample seating, beautiful view, just the occasional water sprinkling from the fountain(?) got on us and our bagels lol! read more

Softest bagel breads ever! Unlike traditional bagel sandwich where the exterior is on the harder side, their bread base is proofed to perfection.

finally tried this viral bagel spot in corporate irvine. got the poke bagel and lox bagel to try this time. poke bagel was fresh and paired nicely with their furikake bagel. the bagel was crunchy and soft and the schmear was delicious. the lox bagel was alright, we thought the lemon schmear was overkill, it took over the whole taste of the bagel so we couldn't appreciate the lox as much. the bagels were good, but they were priced pretty high service here is prompt, although i did order online for pick up. inside is clean and smells of fresh bagels . there's seating outside as well read more

I do wish the Egg Sando had a bit more salt, but that's just my preference. I loved the flavor of the kbbq, the kimchi & cucumber gave the sandwich a nice tangy taste. They also offer parking validation, so make sure to ask! read more

Absolute game-changer for the OC bagel scene! I am completely obsessed with Rise Bagels. They are completely reinventing what a bagel can be. The hand-rolled dough is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I tried their viral Tokyo 7/11 egg salad bagel with a jammy egg, and it blew my mind! The flavor combinations are so creative and absolutely delicious --especially the KBBQ, the smash burger, and the strawberry bagel. I couldn't choose a favorite; I would honestly get them all again, and I also want to try the rest of their menu as well as their desserts! The ingredients are clearly super fresh and high-quality and the staff is beyond friendly, attentive, and wonderful. Do yourself a favor and get a guava drink or matcha drink too! Highly recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed. The location is gorgeous to sit outside and it's super aesthetic and clean inside. I was catching up with a friend, and they were so sweet and didn't rush is out. They validate parking which is super nice, but I was actually able to park in the free visitor 2 hour parking without a problem on a Saturday afternoon. read more

I hate bagel places that give you literally no cream cheese. I specifically asked the cashier, who was very kind and had great customer service btw, if there's a good amount of cream cheese that comes with the bagel or if it's like other places that give you a thin swipe and then you're left with a dry bagel. She said there's a good amount and it ended up being the exact same dry bagel you get from places like Noah's.. Had to pay $4 for two tiny ass sauce containers of shmear. Extremely overpriced and on top of that they barely toasted the bagels - my husbands was straight up cold. Don't recommend, especially for the price you're paying for a damn bagel... read more

Talk about ba-GOALS! As someone who's tried quite a bit of the LA bagel scene, I was so excited to try @risebagels - the newest concept from Chef John Park and Jeff Tran, and you can definitely tell the love and care they pour into their business with their thoughtful menu and personable customer service. Their menu specializes in small-batch, hand-rolled, boiled bagels baked fresh daily, with creative takes on cream cheese schmears (including ube, tom yum curry, yuzu, chili crisp and more!), as well as innovative, elevated bagel sandwiches. My favorites were their poke and lox bagels, which feature VERY fresh fish, as well as their new birria bagel sandwich, comes with birria, Fritos, taco toppings, and even consome to dip! Despite just opening half a year ago, Rise is already making waves -- recently winning a (in my opinion) very well-deserved Best of the West and Most Creative at Bagel Fest! Definitely make sure to check them out if you're in the Irvine area for some of the BEST bagels I've had in OC! read more

By far, the best bagel creations! Innovative and delish- not your run of the mill bagel place. Their bagels are perfect in texture and flavor-not too soft or too chewy. I always have a hard time deciding what to get because I want so many! I love the egg salad, fruit, strawberry, Asian chicken salad- ok, all of them! The staff is always friendly, 90 min free parking, aesthetically pleasing inside, and also has a really nice open space outside, which for kids too. The desserts are also amazing! Love whatever Chef John creates! Oh, and they won the Best of the West Bagel Fest competition!! Definitely a must try! read more

Very cool and unique selection of bagels available, and very yummy. You order at the counter and then sit down if there is room to sit, very crowded and at a very busy location. The food does take awhile to come out but it's worth the wait, the poke was amazing 10/10 fresh and tasty, the birria bagel 9/10 such a good idea and the flavors went well together the strawberry matcha looked basic but tasted really good, a bit strawberry forward but still a decent matcha flavor.

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

Seems to be a Korean fusion bagel sandwich shop in an upscale business complex by the equinox. Parking is a bit tricky. You need to make sure you park at the structure closest to the shop to be able to get validation. If you go across where I happened to, it was couple of bucks per hour I believe. The menu has unique items like a kimchi bagel and interesting savory sandwich options. The worker told me the egg salad is one of the most popular so tried that along with the kbbq option. It's very filling so definitely shareable. Egg salad was pretty good and the furikake bagel it comes with is unique but it was a bit too much furikake for me. Kbbq was a bit too salty and messy to enjoy honestly but it wasn't bad taste. Other than that, I'm a bit disappointed in the bagels. To me, it's not a bagel. It doesn't have that same springy chew to it, so it definitely doesn't seem to be boiled before baking. Most likely just baked. But even baked bagels have a certain texture and taste? This almost felt like French bread. Feels misleading as a bagel shop but I get it that they are probably trying to do something unique here. It definitely is unique but just not to my taste. 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
