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. ‍

‼ DISCRIMINATION! RACISM! ‼ I had an extremely uncomfortable…read moreand upsetting experience here while picking up a large coffee order for a wedding. When I arrived, there was a very long line, but because my order had already been placed, I went to the designated pickup area. While waiting, I watched the employee behind the counter speak politely and normally to other customers. When it was my turn, I turned my phone around and politely said, "Hi, I'm here to pick up for" Before I could even finish my sentence, the employee looked at my phone, rolled his eyes, turned away from me, and went to retrieve the order. There was no greeting, no acknowledgment, and no basic courtesy. He handed me the order while staring at me, rolled his eyes again, and immediately returned to the register. The interaction was so noticeably hostile that I looked back at him and asked, "What's your problem?" He immediately turned away and began helping someone else. I then asked another employee whether there was a manager available and explained what had just happened. Her response was essentially that there was "a lot going on" and that they were busy. Being busy does not excuse treating a customer disrespectfully especially when I had just watched other customers receive normal, courteous service. What made this experience particularly concerning was what happened next. While I was still making sure my large order was complete, another customer approached the pickup area. The same employee who would not even allow me to finish my sentence immediately greeted this man with, "Hello, how can I help you?" and proceeded to speak to him politely and professionally. That was the exact basic courtesy I had been denied only moments earlier. As a Black woman, I cannot ignore that difference in treatment. I watched this employee demonstrate that he was perfectly capable of greeting customers, communicating professionally, and being courteous. He simply chose not to extend that same treatment to me. Based on what I personally witnessed, the disparity felt prejudicial and discriminatory. I then walked to the neighboring sister establishment to ask how I could contact management because I had not been provided helpful management information inside the coffee shop. Ironically, the employee I spoke with there was also Latino, and he treated me with complete respect. He listened, offered to get a manager, asked whether I was okay, and apologized that I had experienced something uncomfortable. That interaction is important because my complaint is not about anyone's ethnicity it is about the specific behavior of the employees who dealt with me at the coffee shop. What was also strange was that the coffee shop employees who had just explained that everything was so hectic suddenly had plenty of time to stand at the counter and watch me while I spoke with the neighboring business. They continued watching me until I got into my car. There had been an enormous line of customers, yet somehow the "too busy" explanation disappeared when it came time to watch what I was doing after I asked about management. That made an already uncomfortable situation feel even more hostile. The Smoking Gun needs to seriously evaluate who it places in customer-facing positions. Customers should not have to wonder whether their race affected the basic level of dignity and courtesy they received. If an employee is overwhelmed or having a bad day, take a break, ask for help, or work away from the front counter. What you do not do is selectively discard basic manners with one customer and then immediately demonstrate those same manners to the next. I came in to pick up coffee for a wedding. I was polite. I was there to collect an order and leave. There was absolutely no reason for me to be treated with hostility. I will be filing a formal complaint with management regarding this incident. I hope management takes it seriously, reviews what occurred, and provides its staff with appropriate customer-service and anti-discrimination training. No paying customer should be treated as though basic respect is optional. And yes, they can run the cameras back it'll be in there ! Then to ice the cake, they literally got the order wrong and didn't give me all the items for the party that I was taking it to! Could look me up and down but not look the orders up and down !

The service actually seemed pretty fast once we ordered, I think people just took a while deciding what they wanted and asked a lot of questions, which I don't blame them because they have so many cool things on the menu.

We definitely didn't finish the two bagels between our family of four, which honestly surprised me. There is parking, which is a huge plus.

As much as I hate the word "authentic" when used to describe any type of cuisine, they are absolutely doing it right, honoring the classics with more modern recipes eschewing animal products.
