    "Sourdough" bagel.
    Amanda Z.

    Wrinkly sad looking bagels with a tough texture. Bagels should be on point if that's literally what your name is. Getting rid of pumpernickel was a bad move. We'll miss this place, hope it can turn around.

    Thank you Bagel Bakery for a fantastic bagel breakfast. I ordered online but still had to wait a few minutes when we arrived. They were busy! Always a good sign. I ordered a sesame bagel with lox spread, tomato and cucumber. Overall, a solid sandwich! I opted to have my bagel toasted, but not sure it was. Despite that, the bagel was big, just soft enough and slightly chewy like I prefer. I enjoyed it! They don't have an everything bagel on their menu, but I think their "super seed" bagel is basically an everything. We also got a couple cups of their hazelnut drip coffee and it was delicious. Lots of hazelnut flavor and not watered down at all. Would recommend swinging by The Bagel Bakery if you have a hankering for a bagel. Plenty of parking available in the lot! I recommend ordering ahead to avoid the line.

    This location is within a plaza of stores! There's a Starbucks on the other side of the building and acress the parking lot is either target or Costco, such a good place to stop out, especially those with Tesla's. The bagel itself was amazing and tasteful. It was super easy to order and then pay afterward, the person taking our order definitely was the lady who ran the place ! She was quick and made sure everything was going steady. The pull apart was nice and these definitely taste good when they are fresh. My friends and I enjoyed ours before getting back on the road home from Monterey. The store feels like a normal bagel shop with the idea of making it into a sandwich. Which was exactly what it was doing! I would recommend stopping by if you don't want to always get food from Starbucks!

    New Yorker

    Stopped at this spot while charging at the Tesla superchargers. Service was fast and prompt, and the lady who helped us was very sweet. I got the New Yorker because I LOVE anything smoked salmon lox, and this sandwich was great. The one criticism I have is that the plain bagel I got was slightly stale.. but I'm assuming it's because we arrived at the end of the day, a little after an hour before closing. I did not mind all that much because the amount of salmon and cream cheese was perfect, and I even requested if I can have capers on my sandwich and I was able to get it no questions asked :) while this was a slight flaw, it's not enough for me to avoid this place. I will definitely come back whenever I make a trip to Monterey.

    The vegetarian no tomatoes add turkey

    One word, trash. I have been going to Bagel Bakery for a long time. I remember when you could get a bagel sandwich for less than $5. The price of your sandwich included the bagel, some were 10c more. Today I paid almost $11 for a Superseed bagel with "the vegetarian" which is Tomatoes Sprouts Avocado Onions Mayo and mustard I asked for no tomato add turkey. Two pieces of turkey cost $3. The "vegetarian" is $5.95 So I guess they charge for the bagel too- I'm sorry but this is just outrageous. I understand inflation, but you can't tell me this bagel cost more than $2-$3 total. The guy who helped me was super sweet. It's not his fault that the quality is less than it used to be and the cost has more than tripled. You could order a meal in a sit down restaurant for the same $11.

I'm 99% sure he still uses Molinari salami because the flavor, texture, and taste are absolutely impeccable. Italian dry salami quality in sandwich delis in the United States has drastically declined in the last couple decades. Not here though thankfully. The selection of uncommon chips and drinks is still top-notch...this has to be the only place I've ever seen Faygo in the Monterey area! The deviled eggs are still great also. I got there too late for broccoli salad. Bennett is still running the register, cracking jokes, and making smiles happen for his old regulars. And it looks like he has a really good crew currently. We will be back again and again. While I do enjoy the more upscale Italian sandwiches of Coniglio Bros on cannery row once in awhile, nothing slaps like a sandwich from an old school neighborhood minimart deli. This is the sandwich of your childhood, your teen years, and your early adulthood. This is how California nostalgia tastes.

    Fantastic! My friend…read morerecommended that we pick up sandwiches here before a Big Sur trip. I'm so glad she did - this place is great! If you'd like to order a sandwich, there is a picnic table outside with clipboards and order sheets. You can order off their very extensive menu of sandwiches, or create your own. There is a wide variety of bread, meat, and cheese options so everyone can find something they like. Be very cautious if you order a whole sandwich because saying they are huge is an understatement. When you are ready to order, you bring the sheet to the back left deli counter where they have their display and desserts. While we waited for our sandwiches, we took some time to look around the market. It is fantastic! The decor is lovely. The items they have in stock is also impressive. They have your basic items like chips and soda, but also a large international snack section. There are shelves of foreign chip flavors and drinks which is very neat. They also have a super wide variety of domestic products that you can't typically find everywhere. I was thoroughly impressed with all they have to offer. The sandwich itself was the cherry on the cake. It was the biggest sandwich I have ever seen. I was shocked at how thick and heavy it was. It was incredibly affordable too! It tasted delicious and very fresh. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I am in the area.

When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.

We met Raul at the counter. He is by far the most friendly, kind and informed restaurant staff (about gluten sensitivity, gluten allergy and what it is to have Celiac) we've ever met. He explained how he prepares the gluten free dough separate, bakes it separate and plates it separate. Based on Raul's genuine concern and knowledge, my hubby decided to try it. Our family had various different sandwiches. (I had the very delicious Vegetariano.) We all agreed they were THE BEST SANDWICHES WE'VE EVER HAD...EVER...ANYWHERE...(mike drop).The freshly baked bread was incredible, all of the ingredients were fresh, even the side salad was amazing!!! The service was straight out of the old days, when people actually had pride in their work and genuinely cared about how you were treated in their establishment. We wish every restaurant that offers gluten free options could have someone as friendly, kind and knowledgeable as Raul. The ambiance was very cute/quaint inside and out. It was a beautiful sunny day so we sat outside to enjoy the sunshine and listen to the sea lions. Raul came out to check on us and we could not thank him enough for his amazing food and hospitality. When we said how much we enjoyed the gluten free bread, he told us he sold the flour (from Italy) inside. My adult son immediately bought some for us to bake gluten-free bread at home. (We've since baked gluten-free bread and it was just as amazing) I've told everyone I know about this amazing place. It has the trifecta of what makes us want to return frequently: *****Food *****Service *****Ambiance Until next time Piccolo!

    Small, cute spot by the water. There are a few tables inside and more tables outside (though it was…read morebreezy when we went). Note that this restaurant is on the ground floor and there is a different restaurant up top. We ordered the Mortadella Pistachio Panini and the Piccolo salad. The panini was absolutely awesome and the meat was sliced so delicately thin. The salad was good, but the panini was way better. Service was quick. Note: The restaurant doesn't have its own bathroom but there is a public restroom across the street. The public restroom was a bit gross when I went in (lots of flies swarming) and did not have a diaper changing table.
