Really friendly service here. Plenty of parking outside, for Laguna Beach! Everything tasted really good and the proportions were good. If I had only one comment, it would be less whole tomatoes with my lox bagel. Still would go back! They sell their own cream cheeses here too! Looked and felt like a deli with high and low table seating. read more

This was my first time at this location. We were headed to the beach and wanted a quick snack. We ordered a Turkey Avocado on an everything bagel. It was really good and very filling. It came with a few bagel chips, which were absolutely delicious! I should've bought some bagel chips to take home! read more

For as hyped up as these other reviews made Shirley's, I was not impressed. I got a toasted sesame bagel with the CTA deluxe.... They did not toast the bagel, and the flavor of the bagel was lacking. Very doughy, no chew, no salt. The toppings were fine but nothing to write home about, and the seasoning was basically Lawry's and didn't enhance my experience all that much. The tomato was also not ripe and it is in fact tomato season in California, so was not loving the hard tomato read more

We were looking for a spot to get a cup of coffee and something for breakfast, but since we weren't too familiar with Laguna Beach, we turned to Yelp, and found Shirley's Bagels - and what a find it was!! It was already hoppin' first thing in the morning, so we had a great feeling about this spot! We got a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese on an everthing bagel and my hubby and I figured we'd split it. Well, after the first bite of the fresh baked, warm bagel sandwich, I knew it was a mistake that we were going to share. It was so dang delicious! We gobbled up our halves, then ended up ordering another bagel sandwich, plus some extra bagels to take home. I told the guy that helped me the second time that it was our first time there and that we really enjoyed our bagel sandwich so much, that we had to order another one - and he wasn't amuzed. I thought he might enjoy hearing a little positive feedback on how much we enjoyed our bagel sandwich but he wasn't too interested - almost gave me the vibes that he was still half asleep, so that was kind of a bummer! But as for the bagels, these are probably the BEST bagels we have ever had!! Oh, and their coffee was super delicious too! And if you stay there and have your bagel and coffee, they offer one free refill of coffee, which was really nice!! They have tables inside and and a few outside, so just stay and enjoy your bagel and coffee while it's hot and fresh!! read more

Had delivery but got the Cream Cheese Tomato Avocado on plain ! This thing was huge and fresh!

I had high expectations for these bagels but I am disappointed again after trying them twice in different locations. This location in LB is located in a small plaza with limited parking so be prepared to pay for metered street parking. The shop has plenty of street parking and had plenty of bagel options relatively close to closing on a weekday. Service was fast and friendly! I ordered an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. They are generous with the cream cheese but the bagel itself is a bit too chewy and too salty for my taste. read more

Came in around 11am on Memorial Day, there was a little line and was lucky to get princess parking. Kinda impossible if ur not lucky. I'm always craving a good bagel since New York. I got the Californian sandwich on garlic 7/10. And a nova lux for later 8/10. Nothing too crazy to write home about but enough for what I was looking for Decent seating area inside but I think it's a to-go type of place. read more

Shirley's Bagels is hands down the best spot in Laguna Beach for a bagel fix. I ordered the ABC Bagel (Avocado, Bacon, Cream Cheese) and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying as always. Their bagels are consistently amazing, and it's clear they know what they're doing when it comes to quality and taste. We also decided to try the cinnamon roll because it looked great in the window, but unfortunately it was burnt and hard, so we ended up tossing it. A bit of a letdown, but it won't stop me from coming back for the bagels they truly never miss. read more

Terrible service today! After coming here for over 10 years, I'm extremely disappointed. They forgot my food order, even though I had already been waiting over 30 minutes and had asked when it would be out. When they finally brought it to me, the order was incorrect. What should have been a quick morning stop for a bagel and cream cheese turned into a complete waste of an hour. People came in, ordered, ate, and left while I was still waiting for my food. The employee who took my order was also disrespectful from the moment I ordered at the front. I will say that other employees noticed how long I had been waiting and were kind. But by that point I was ready to leave. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back. Do not recommend wasting your time and money here. read more

Being a former New Yorker it's hard to find a good bagel and I must say Shirley's is very good. We have tried several other bagel shops n Shirley's is the best. They have great assortment of bagels and muffins n all sorts of bagel sandwiches. The staff there are all welcoming and service is fantastic. They have tables inside and a few outside for those who bring their pups. read more

I am furious at this point! I love their bagels but they sandwiches what the heck?! I gave them 2nd chance today but same thing happened last time - my sandwich was sliding around, everything was falling out of it. It wasn't cut fully and when pulled apart everything fallen out. And I didn't even use cheese cream in it. Also avocado is not avocado! Is guacamole type of paste, I was expecting avocado slices and this should be noted. I regularly visit NY and I know how properly packed and prepared bagel sandwich should look like. I can't even eat what I am getting here without seating down and using fork and plate because everything is falling out! No thank you, they have a lot to learn... read more

Daughter brought us there this morning-never would've known about it. Place was busy and the pace of staff was unhurried-not slow but not working quickly. Very steady line of customers that grew and grew as we waited for our bagels. I received the Lox nox or something like that and it was perfect and just what I'd wanted. Capers, big slab of salmon, tomatoes etc. Wife and daughter were very happy with their orders. Order taker was friendly and professional. Just don't expect to get in/out of there quickly and you'll be happy. We will be back ! read more

Such a nice little place hidden in a shopping center. The most satisfying post hike meal the staff was so sweet and handed us our bagels directly. I got the Santa Fe and it's was so hefty nice big ol' bagel with the most satisfying cheese pull. They did not skimp out on filling this bagel up!! I also ordered an iced matcha with oat milk which paired perfectly. The also had fresh squeezed orange juice and spread to take home. I couldn't resist trying their orange juice and I'm so glad I did it was so fresh! If you're ever in the area grab a bagel and walk on over to the beach 100% recommend. read more

It's awful to see a local business lose its homey-feel and become a complete mess. I stopped by to pick up a dozen bagels and some muffins but had to leave when I saw a mouse in the bagel bins. I gave a star for their bagels and a star for the fact that I've been coming here for 13 years, but no more. Such a shame that instead of willingness to hear feedback from longtime regulars, they've become defensive. So sad! read more

Saturday, August 16, 2025. Wow, what a wonderful experience. It started with excellent customer service. The cashier was impressive. She was patient and friendly despite a steady stream of constant customers. The other employees also appeared upbeat and engaged. I ordered the Californian (on a toasted jalapeño and cheese bagel) with bacon. Every ingredient was fresh and excellently prepared. The bagel sandwich was substantial, reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious. The fact that the sandwich came cut in half made it all the more enjoyable. You are making a lot of people happy. Thank you. read more

My friend and I were visiting the Laguna Farmers Market and wanted a quick breakfast. We found this bagel place and were super excited to try it. Our bagel had avocado bacon and cream cheese. We each got a caramel latte - not sure why they were such drastically different colors, but they were both very good. Service was fast as well and they had plenty of seating. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. I would def return :) read more

My husband ordered a jalepeno cheddar bagel over doordash and we recieved a normal cheddar bagel with wet pickled jalapenos ontop of the creamcheese. Weve been coming here for quite some time and we know thats not how it usually is. Im unsure if they were out of this specific bagel or if that was just a creative choice but we were quite dissapointed in the lack of communication. read more

Came in on Memorial Day morning at approximately 11am. Pretty busy, but worth the wait. Set expectation that there would be a 15 minute wait which I very much appreciated, and it was very accurate! The waiting area was a little chaotic, but we got some seats at the counters so we were content. Californian sandwich was good -- I liked that the eggs were thin and layered, good amount of avocado and the bacon was very crispy. A lot of everything bagels can be overly salty but this was the perfect amount of salt and flavor. Blueberry bagel w/ cream cheese -- bagel was good sized. There was A LOT of cream cheese which is better than not being enough but I ended up scraping off a good amount b/c it was just so much. Not a bad problem to have, they're not skimping. Pesto florentine -- pesto was incredible and the cheese was perfectly melted and got an awesome pull. The steam in the packaging might have made the bagel a little soft but not really an issue. Shirley's has really fresh homemade bagels and their case wasn't empty even after a busy morning and in the middle of a rush. Staff was very friendly, definitely come here to get a bagel before walking around Laguna downtown or heading to the beach. read more

Shirley's bagels are soooooo delicious!! We get them almost every time we hit Laguna for an early morning hike. Best reward!!

I think I finally found my favorite bagel shop!! I got their chocolate chip bagel with strawberry cream cheese. It was SOO good and definitely tasted fresh. Someone said they're very similar to New York bagels which says a lot. It was about $4 which is worth it and the average price! I also got their cinnamon roll! Ask for it warmed up because it makes it 100x better. Their smoothies are also a must. Everyone was very friendly so 10/10 recommend. Can't wait to come back! Bagels: 9/10 Service: 10/10 read more

The bagels are delicious and so is their coffee! Great service too! Easily a breakfast favorite when visiting Laguna!

This place is fantastic. You can easily tell because there is almost always a longer line when I get to the door the few times I have been. The bagels are really high quality and they have a decently large variety of them. There's great variety for toppings for the bagel sandwiches as well. I keep it pretty simple and get egg and bacon on my bagel sandwich. Last time I was here, I tried the iced white mocha and it was excellent. Expect a little longer wait if you're ordering a drink from.the coffee bar. There are tons of options for bottled drinks too. Despite the popularity of this place, if i want to sit and eat I have always been able to find a spot and food always comes out pretty quickly for how busy it gets. I appreciate the fact that they were very sweet towards my baby girl in her stroller, too. Service is quick and kind. We will definitely be back every time we're in the area. read more

Surely, you can't be serious! Yes, I am serious and please don't call me Surley! Reminiscent of the 1980s, this bagel shop has it all! The bagels are fresh and the types are many. Surely, Shirley's bagels tops the bagels of the 1980s. Yup, bagels are back and I am a fan....as long as it's Shirley's. Decisions, decisions and decisions, we opted for the everything bagel and the Cinnabon. Hot chocolate and coffees made this a great stop for a quick breakfast. Prices are AOK. Quality is great. There is plenty of parking in the adjacent lot and plenty of street parking. Overall, this was a great stop. read more

what a cute hidden gem. stumbled upon this place while looking for any kind of breakfast. i got the egg and lox everything bagel and while apprehensive at first at how the cucumber would taste with the egg it was pretty good. price was very reasonable, and food came super quick. my only concern would be a lack of seating but the store is quite small and inside a plaza so i don't think there's anything they can do about that. read more

This place is such an awesome vibe!! Always fun finding the locals hidden gems when you are traveling! This place was hopping the whole time we were there constant people moving in and out getting breakfast and coffee and sitting and enjoying the foggy morning weather. The staff was very nice and the bagels were to die for. The breakfast bagel sandwich was absolutely fantastic and I could only really eat half which means it was massive!! The oat meal my girlfriend got was also very good. Under the lid of the coffee was a cute latte art heart surprise glad we took the lid off or it wouldve never even been noticed. Every detail was thought of and well executed here!! *** The only negative note is they sell homemade hot sauce but don't have any to get along side your sandwich or food item which was a bummer and seems somewhat counterintuitive. Retail sale of a whole bottle only. Don't know if it's good or not *** read more

We LOVE this spot for bagels, and we always recommend to friends and family visiting as well. HOWEVER, this morning I had a very unfriendly and disturbing experience when I picked up my breakfast bagel. I walked in, and there were no guests at the register, yet no one greeted me or welcomed me in as I entered. I proceeded to the to-go shelf, as I am used to just picking up my bagel and leaving since we live a block away and come in frequently. There now happens to be a sign that says to ask for assistance prior to picking up, which I did not notice. Today there was ONE single order on the shelf (mine) so I read the receipt, which said my name and order, prior to picking it up. A female employee saw me retrieving my order and yelled out in a condescending and rude tone of voice, "Excuse me ma'am can you please read the sign?" I stopped, handed her the bag, and said I was sorry. She snatched the bag from my hands, and then proceeded to lecture me on how the sign is there for a reason and how I need to learn to follow directions. Several guests inside turned their heads to stare in disbelief as well, and it almost brought me to tears due to her nasty tone of voice. My suggestion is to put your shelf for pick-up orders in the back if you don't want guests to be able to pick-up their own orders. I won't be back, unless you teach your employees how to treat paying guests with RESPECT and dignity. Not cool Shirley's. read more
