He was very rude and passive aggressive to my boyfriend and he responded very rudely and dismissive to a simple question. The food is great but the service by this employee specifically is not. And not to mention the other workers aren't the nicest either. read more

The Bagel Corner - Rude - Bagels Near Me - Salinas, California

This place never misses! I've tried their breakfast burritos and three different bagel sandwiches and they have all been good. All very filling as well. Prices can be steep when it comes to the sandwiches considering you can get a meal at that price at other joints. This place does have a morning and lunch rush, be mindful of the time you have to grab a bite to eat. Customer service is good. I definitely recommend The Bagel Corner. read more

This is the number three bagel place in town. The prices are high, they got my order wrong and took a long time to fix it, and they, like the other places here, serve West Coast bagels (fluffy and bready, not crispy and dense). When I finally got the right order it tasted good, but it isn't number one. read more

We are visiting the area, and were looking for a spot to get breakfast for the whole family. We had breakfast burritos, a Philly cheesesteak and a bagel with cream cheese between us all. The service was helpful, and pretty fast for how packed it was. My burrito kept me full until dinner and it was very very good. If you like meat, get the supreme breakfast burrito. We sat outside on the patio, and they had umbrellas protecting us from the sun. read more

Absolutely love this place! The artichoke bisque is the same soup from Gino's Italian restaurant, which is my absolute favorite! Let me tell you if you eat that with an everything bagel and cream cheese your life will be set!(not pictured- we also purchased a lox and bagels) My Hubby got the godfather and thought it was absolutely delicious I liked it as well and I'm not a huge fan of salami and pastrami, but I had a bite and it was really good. My favorite and go to here is the gobbler. It is amazingly good they always have cranberry for the turkey and with the sprouts on an all Berry bagel it is definitely on point. We always get a cup of the fruit salad the pineapple and melon is always so juicy and our Frenchy loves the strawberries LOL. The only thing I wish on the lox and bagel the salmon was smoked it would make me like it a lot better but my hubby likes it so that's all that matters. All in all this is a great local place with a great atmosphere. There is one girl here that has been working The last couple weeks She is short and skinny she seems really annoyed all the time but other than that the wonderful Mexicana lady that runs the register as well as the lady with all of her 49er gear are absolutely the bomb! Have been back and always will! read more

They used to be the best sandwich in town, they started using lesser quality ingredients. For example, they used to have thick delicious bacon. It's scrawny fatty bacon. Service is nowhere what it used to be. I ordered two sandwiches today. The person that took my order had a smile on her face, but very snooty, I paid for my order with a credit card, and I had forgotten that I wanted a bag of chips, before I even stepped away from the register, I told her that I meant to grab a bag of chips I would just pay cash for it and she said "as soon as these people get done" I have to go to the end of the line because I forgot something? When I got home, I found that the bacon had not been warmed up. It was still cold. This is the second time that has happened to me so I had to take the sandwich apart ended up, dropping it on the floor heat it up put it back together. It's too bad, like I said it used to be a quality shop and it's not near as busy as it used to be. read more

MENU AND FOOD: They offer a variety of bagels, cream cheese flavors, sandwiches, burritos, and more! SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service was quick and efficient, but could have been friendlier. Their indoor decor is plain and simple. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. PARKING: Located in a shopping plaza, they have a parking lot. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I was happy to see their large selection of bagels! I had their asiago bagel, toasted with chive cream cheese. It was delicious, and I'll be back. read more

Stellar. Just stellar, from their supreme breakfast burrito to the bagel and lox on a jalapeño cheddar bagel this place will make every bud on your tongue scream for more. read more

I have been to this place many times in the last few years. I think they have the best bagels in town. But the customer service is terrible. I have had some bad times here. A couple of months ago they messed up my order and I kindly let them know. 15 minutes went by and I asked them again and they acted like they didn't know. I told the man who had served me, the man with the beard, and it took another 20 minutes for them to give me my order. I think that every time I go back to this place they recognize me and they love to delay my order for at least 20 minutes. read more

Male worker was a bit rude. Costumer service needs a little working on. Not sure if anything was said or done on my end but I definitely felt uncomfortable. read more

Was there earlier today for a meal with my friends and when we got our order, my bagel was not fully toasted and drenched in sauce. I then went up the girl at the cash register with purple hair to let her know of the taste and was immediately met with hostility. I did not want another sandwich, nor did I ask for a refund, however, she then proceeded to yell at me in front of everyone. I have never exerienced such terrible customer service in my life. She had terrible attitude and clearly expressed she does not like her job. After being a patron over the years as I've lived in Salinas, I can confidently say i will not be supporting this business just from my experience with this girl. Quality has gone comeplety down. The bagel shops at the mall and creekbridge provide much better service and quality. Beware of the girl with purple hair and nasty attitude. read more

Very disappointed. People say top tier and best breakfast burritos. I disagree. It was big and full but the chorizo was questionably fresh. After a few bites I felt I had to throw it away. I went back and tried a bagel with cream cheese and lox. I paid an extra $1 for Asiago cheese bagel. It was very "bready" with a thin layer of lox. Two strikes you are out. read more

Super clean atmosphere and shop! Fantastic food that's well presented and shown, and employees that make you feel welcomed being there. A few things are a bit pricey, but hell, EVERYTHING is getting expensive lately. For now, I'll always get my bagel sandwiches and coffee here......they got my vote!! read more

I asked a friend who lives in Salinas the best bagel shop.... I got a bacon egg cheese on pesto. Wow they gave me enough bacon to make an extra sandwich later. I also got a triple berry and a chocolate bagel for later. The bagels were very dense. The berry one was alight but they chocolate one was very very good! My mom got the chicken strips with onion rings. She didn't like the chicken strips, wouldn't buy them again. But she did like the onion rings. read more

Absolutely love it. Bagels are so delicious and testy. My favorite is the nuts on the cream cheesse.

One of my favorite places to get bagels. The staff is friendly and quick. As much as I go here the mistake are very Few as we all can make them I would say my bagels sandwich mistake ratio is 1 in every 30 orders read more

If you're a local, you know this place. Their food is always delicious. My go to is the BLT with Avocado. That thing is hefty, I get 2 meals out of it. They don't skimp on anything. I will say it's pricey but definitely worth it. Their artichoke bisque is amazing. Service is great. Sitting is available but they do tend to get quite busy. read more

I'm a sucker for a great veggie bagel sandwich and no one on the entire peninsula does their bagel sandwiches as good as the bagel corner does. I realize that this is a bold statement and that there are more than one bagel shops in town, however when it comes to the Green Earth on an all seed bagel, there is no place better than The Bagel Corner, and btw, I say the entire peninsula because I work in Monterey and still drive to Salinas just to get this lunchtime favorite. The place is that good. Try the TBLAT too, it's a close second. read more

I've been a long time customer at this bagel shop. Bagels are always good. Service is good most of the time. However occasionally I'll get a staff member at the register that's a bit testy at times. But compared to other restaurants in the area you always have that one person who just seems to rub you the wrong way. It's a lively restaurant so if you are looking for a quiet place to eat a delicious bagel it can get a bit noisy especially when a bunch of young teenagers on the way to a nearby school stop in to order and eat their bagels. The one thing that I have not been pleased with is the fruit salad that recently is offered at this place. They have introduced jicama in the fruit salad. Some may like this in their fruit salad. But when I'm enjoying a tasty chuck of cantaloup or seasonal watermelon then take a bite of jicama it just ruins the experience of eating a good fruit salad. Jicama is not really a fruit but a root vegetable that to me is very bland and the texture is like eating a radish. So I no longer order the fruit salad at the Bagel Corner. If the owners would poll folks as to whether they like jicama in their fruit salad or not my bet is more will feel unfavorable for it in their fruit salads. Owner if you read this please consider removing jicama from the fruit salads. read more

I usually have a good experience when I come here, bagels are great and customer service is alright. This time I had to leave a review because I did not like the service I received. I ordered "The Club" bagel and I found a hair in my sandwich. I called back to get a refund and after some hesitation, they agreed to refund my order as long as I had the receipt and the bagel, which I did. When I showed up for my refund, I was not even greeted with a smile or anything. The lady took my bagel from me, took my receipt, refunded my money, and dismissed me. Not even an apology for the inconvenience or anything. I was not rude or disrespectful so a simple apology could've gone a long way. read more

I went to order A bagel and asked them to toast it and when I left and I opened it up to eat it wasn't even toasted bunch of idiots working there. The lady working the register wasn't very pleasant either. You gotta be nice and smile when you're dealing with customers. read more

The last 2 times I've been here they've gotten my order wrong. First time, I ordered the Happy Cow with herb cream cheese, and got a plain bagel with herb cream cheese. They fixed it quickly with no issues, so I didn't think anything about it. Next time I ordered the Happy Cow it was missing tomatoes. I'm almost done with this place :( read more

This place has consistently good service. I will pay extra for a friendly face. I tested the friendliness by not tipping and the people behind the counter didn't care. (I'll return with a tip). I slightly pricey but the bagels are excellent, the service is excellent and the place is always clean. Everyone who works here seems happy which is a reflection of the leadership. read more

Really great bagel place! I will try the soup next time because looked great. Service was fast and efficient.

Breakfast bagels always fresh and delicious. They're quite busy in the mornings but worth it

service- initial person who greeted me started taking my order and left me in the middle of ordering to take a phone call. didn't repeat the order back to me because I only half my order correct. I had got 4 bagels in total and only 2 were made right. I waited 37 mins for the food while I watched everyone who ordered after me get theirs before me. Wasn't busy either. Im looking that they had the order down but still got it completely wrong food- the people who got their order correct were semi satisfied but were unhappy with the quality of the food. ambiance- place was kinda loud( probably another reason why they got my order so messed up). counters were dirty and looked like they weren't wiped down. read more

Food is good and they are fast. Usually fairly busy---. Always groups of people meeting there in the mornings, which is kinda great to see!

Theres something here for everyone, the bagels are great, i like the coffee too, burritos are great too, many different options, salads look yummy but havent tried them yet, you can order your food & pick it up at the outside window read more

Quick stop on our way through Salinas. Super popular little spot we never would have found without Yelp. My husband and I shared the Supreme breakfast burrito which was very good, and more than enough for 2 (note that extra salsas are .50, and they only had green and pico de gallo). My daughter got the pesto provolone bagel toasted w/ butter, and she really liked it. Ordered the artichoke bisque, because I wanted to try it based on the reviews, but it way too rich for my taste. Their restrooms are open, which was appreciated! read more

This place is delicious and reasonably priced. We orders the Breakfast Burrito, probably one is the best I've had in Salinas. The bagels are fresh everyday (they taste fresh anyway). I went back and tasted the pizza, that was really good too. The Gilroy garlic fries where phenomenal. I recommend this place, you won't leave disappointed. read more

Had a craving for a breakfast bagel sandwich, stopped by the Bagel Corner, realized it was 20 mins before closing and thought to myself maybe it's too late. I walked in, was greeted by everyone really nicely, I asked the cashier if it was too late to order a breakfast sandwich, she checked with the kitchen and yes the grill was still on so yeahhhh! I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on pesto, IT IS DELICIOUS! Totally hit the spot. This is the best place for bagels and they have a BUNCH of other goodies too. The artichoke bisque is also a must! Definitely give them a try! read more

A million apologies Bagel Corner, I have been coming here for years before realizing I haven't left a review! I love this place! Stumbled upon it between classes at Hartnell College and was smitten! The place was packed- line out the door with people sitting both inside and out. The two of us ordered simple bagels with cream cheese which were sooo good! Generous amount of cream cheese and toasted to perfection without melting the cream cheese. Each visit since then has been excellent. It took me a few delicious orders for me to find my "usual" but as long as the CINNAMON SWIRL COFFEE is hot, I will be happy. In case you missed the all caps, their coffee is a hit! SO good. The ambience is my favorite. Never a lull but never chaotic. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and FAST without taking away from the quality. One thing to "complain" about is their menu! My all time favorite item was their cinnamon-roll bagel. Yes, you read that right- a cinnamon roll and cinnamon bagel fusion. Not long before I discovered this wondrous establishment they took it off the menu! I have yet to have another like it and will patiently wait for the day it comes back even it means I need to make a special order! Despite my utter sadness about there being no more cinnamon-roll bagels, my rating is still a full 5 stars. But please bring them back! read more

Bagel Corner is the only bagel place my boyfriend and I go to! We've been to other bagel places and they can never compare to bagel corner bagels!

My orders has been fresh and tasty. I'd say they're pretty consistent. If you decide to stay in to eat, it's very casual and great customer service. Be mindful of the peak hours and that this is a popular spot with the high school students after school. Even during these peak times, I feel like they employees work efficiently and still get my order done in a reasonable amount of time. I've also tried the order and deliver service through Yelp & happy with that experience. I could track my order, had a friendly delivery person, and no problems. Definitely would recommend this location. read more
