    "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.

    the outside of the restaurant

    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.

    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
    Tiffany S.

    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.

    BLT croissant
    Michelle S.

    Used to be my bagel go to. No more folks. $24 for 2 BLT croissants that are mostly lettuce. There sign states $9.45- that's for the bacon, lettuce, tomato only.

    Sausage comes with sausage egg and cheese, I added the bacon.

    Great fresh sandwiches. I usually get the breakfast sandwich. I tried the club on a plain bagel and it was so delicious

    So I was driving down to Monterey from Sacramento for a quick little 36 hour golfing trip.When I…read morearrived in Monterey,I was starving so I quickly jumped on Yelp and found the closest breakfast burrito spot I could find-That's when I found 3 Mundos Sandwich Shop on Fremont Street,which is a sandwich shop that also makes breakfast burritos. 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.

    A fantastic option for a Breakfast Burrito or sandwich…read more Greeted by the owner who took the order and made the Burrito, he was friendly and helpful with suggestions, providing fast friendly service . At the time I stopped in, it was very quiet compared to previous trips, with no waiting to order and our pick of seats. I ordered a Ham Breakfast Burrito to try something different and it was fantastic. The tortilla had a nice char on it before being wrapped around the plentiful ham, potatoes, egg and cheese in its swaddling embrace. Each bite was fresh and flavorful, even beforr adding some of the house made salsa, which added an even bigger burst of flavor and some heat. I ate 1/2 on site, and rewrapped the other half and enjoyed that while at the golf course.

    After a long visit to the aquarium, I searched for a place with gluten free food bc my husband has…read moreCeliac. It was a nice walk to the marina on a beautiful sunny day. 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.

The food just lacks flavor, and there's nothing that really stands out. Honestly, it's the kind of breakfast I feel like I could make at home. The pancakes were just okay, and while the French toast was probably the best thing we tried, it was way too sweet for my taste. The portions are pretty good, and the service has always been friendly and fast, which I definitely appreciate. But overall, I just don't think it's worth the wait or the price. I really wanted to understand the hype, but after giving it multiple chances, it just wasn't for me.
