Excellent service, seriously everyone was so freaking nice. The bagel had cream cheese for dayyyysssss. I had no idea they loaded up like that otherwise I would've requested less. But otherwise very good! The ube one was fun-lots of purple. And the latte was very good too.

I love stopping by and grabbing a vanilla latte here. Your order is ready quickly and there's plenty of space to sit and enjoy your food if you would like.

First of all, the place just looks dope. Before you even get to the coffee, the whole setup already has you in a good mood. The outdoor seating is formidable in the best way: tables, chairs, open air, and that good old Ocean Beach energy doing what OB does. It's a whole vibe. Jon and Sam were super dope brothers -- welcoming, kind, and clearly serious about what they do without making it feel pretentious. So naturally, as a self-appointed connoisseur of vibes and flavor, I had to test the monthly special: a bagel with ube and a latte with taro. Now let me be clear: I do not normally like ube or taro. That was the test. And somehow, these guys made me question my entire position. The strawberry cream ube on the bagel was amazing -- sweet, smooth, balanced, and way better than I expected. Then the latte came through with that taro flavor adding another layer without overpowering the coffee itself. The coffee was already delicious, but the taro gave it this unexpected little plot twist. And because details matter: the bathroom? Exquisite. Clean, thoughtful, and way nicer than it had to be -- which tells me they care about the whole experience, not just what's on the menu. Great people, great flavors, great OB energy. I came in skeptical about ube and taro, and left humbled.

My husband recently discovered this place when looking for breakfast to order for himself. He left it so much he ordered it for us again over the weekend. I got the lox bagel . It was actually pretty heavy so I ate half yesterday and other half today, happily surprised that it tasted just as good today! The only thing I will comment is I took the bagel apart because it was so large and all of the toppings were not very nicely distributed, I was just a little disappointing cuz it felt like it was rushed to be made. But overall it tasted pretty great. I definitely would recommend this place for some quality Bagels.

I love Spill the Beans! This was my first time at this location. I went through the drive through and it's not like your typical drive through. You pull up to the door and someone walks out and takes your order. I got my usual the iced basic stich but this time she convinced me to get cold foam. I think it was white chocolate macadamia. I also got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. I came around 10 or 11AM and she said a lot of bagels were already sold out. Everyone that works at Spill the Beans is always so nice. This might be my favorite location yet. It's such a vibe and close to the beach.

Who would have thought this cute little drive through spot offers such killer bagel sandwiches? My husband and I needed sustenance before making our way to the Zoo Safari Park and rolled up to this gem. we opted for: - a medium iced OTP - cold brew on tap, cinnamon simple syrup and oat milk - a bacon, egg and cheese on a habanero bagel + avocado - traditional bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel ....and OMG! So, So good!! My coffee was the perfect blend of sweetness to coffee, and the sandwiches were HUGE - freshly made eggs with thick cut bacon and an entire avocado - absolutely delicious!! We both ate half of our sandwiches before feeling like we were going to burst! While it was a little pricy (1 coffee + 2 Sammie's = $50!), it was worth it and I'd totally return!

Staff was super helpful and nice especially when it came to suggestions on what bagel would be best with the sandwich. Food was delicious and coffee was fire

I visited twice when in OB for the week. I like how you can just walk up to the counter and order. Service was good both times. First time I tried the strawberry lemonade and it was really good! I wanted it again on the second visit, but they were out of it at 8 am. Only other option was orange juice and I declined. The blueberry muffin is sooo good! The cream cheese is very flavorful as well, we even got some to take back to Vegas. I'm not a fan of the bagels. They are too dense and chewy for my liking. I even tried to make them super crispy in the air fryer and didn't really make a difference.

Sam Dieggo. Not the best photo, but I was hungry and it was delicious!

This is a cute little drive-thru coffee shop. I went through the drive-thru, as I left I saw another side/window for walk up ordering and some outdoor seating. Service- 5/5 She was kind, helpful, professional, and had a chill vibe (which I appreciated). I had like 20 questions. Coffee- 5/5 I had the blonde mocha which was delicious; not too sweet, and the coffee was tasty. Bagel- 5/5 San Dieggo BBLt They were both scrumptious, they didn't skimp out on the bacon either. Bagels were fluffy, lightly crunchy, and soft on the inside. Prices- I bought 3 bagel sandwiches and an iced coffee and paid $50. I paid for quality and was satisfied/full. I feel like that's the going rate for fast food in this economy. I will definitely be back to try the assortment of bagels, spreads, and more coffee. Side note: This place only accepts card. I didn't have my card and only had cash. The worker went inside to ask if they'll accept and they did. Now I know for next time, thanks for helping me out! My photo isn't the best, I wanted to take a photo before I finished it. San Dieggo with bacon and white cheddar bagel.

This breakfast sandwich was delicious. I'm not always a huge fan of the cofffee options but maybe I just need to explore the menu more. The food is always super tasty though. Love how convenient it is to walk here in OB.

Drive thru off Newport
Diane S.

Sandos made to order here so fresh bagels and ingredients of your choice! Charming, helpful, polite staff! Beans are so good! The drive thru is such a bonus as is all the outside seating and charging stations! Plenty of parking and accessible too! Love the color palette and the beach casual vibe!

Sophie H.

First things first, these ladies rock! Service was great. It was my first time, they offered all the options from cold foam to sandwhiches. They had monthly specials for February I think one is chocolate covered strawberries iced coffee and then some sort of matcha! I ordered just a drip coffee and a sandwich with Sun Diegggoo sandwich with pizza bagel. It was by far, the best bagel sandwhich I've had in a long time! My sister-in law got a chocolate covered strawberry ice coffee. They have a nice seating area bar kinda and side of the building seating. The area is quiet and calm. I would say it wasn't busy. They had to go orders and food took a minute to come out, but was worth the wait!

The second hair I found. Yum. ‍

PLANNING A BIRTHDAY HERE? READ BEFORE YOU GO!…read more I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday, and while the atmosphere was amazing, the experience had its downsides. The wait was TWO HOURS! After waiting 15 minutes in line on the stairs, we were told about the wait. The restaurant was also difficult to find, tucked up a staircase in a hidden area, with no designated waiting area. We had to wait near the elevator lobby until our table was ready. The food and drinks were just okay, nothing too special. However, the atmosphere was beautiful! My favorite feature was the unique glass bathroom with its unusual toilets and sinks. FINAL THOUGHTS: Beautiful ambiance, but the long wait and lack of a proper waiting area took away from the experience. If you're celebrating a birthday here, plan ahead and be prepared to wait!

Food: - Flat iron steak: delicious and super tendy with a nice crust. Came with an arugula salad - Fish of the day: today was rock fish with a creamy panang/thai sauce and it was DELICIOUS - Duck: my table's favorite dish. You can make your own tiny tacos and the macha chili was seriously the best thing ever - French fries: nice horsestring fries, cant go wrong - Tuna crudo: super light and citrusy and flavorful, but only like 5-6 pieces - Chicken skewers: this honestly fell really flat. Would not recommend, i'd say it's the worst thing on the menu and surprisingly fell short. Doesnt feel like it belongs on the menu. - Brussel Sprouts: really good and unique with a peanut butter sauce - Mac and cheese: yummy but nothing special Overall was a great experience but I'd probably only come here on special occasions. Their drinks were also fantastic - the cantaloupe was super tasty. Shoutout Ola for being the best waiter!

Something about it spiritually makes me feel a bit grounded into history. I love the fresh rosemary they place in the dish as well. Such a unique touch of earthy-love I'm just glad it wasn't a hour wait or longer how I was repeatedly warned. We got seats right away. Could've been due to the construction on the street near by. I'll definitely return whenever I'm in town.

Thank goodness there was room too, because wow oh wow. It has been three weeks and we keep talking about that happy hour.

I ordered the Kiwilango slider + fries, my mom got the HH fish & chips, and my dad got the wagyu smash slider. Plus $10 beers, of course. Everything came out quickly and beautifully portioned, which made getting dessert (magpie ice cream cake) a no brainer. Delicious!!!
