    They literally have the best bagels I've ever had. I didn't see the hype behind bagels until I tried this place

    Lox Bagel Sandwich on plain bagel ! Yums
    Anna T.

    On the way to San Diego to hike so this is our preworkout meal! Carb up! I love a lox bagel and heard so many good things about this bagel shop. Since we were driving past it anyways we decided this would be the perfect pre workout snack! Got the Lox bagel on plain bagel per recommend by the employee! Delicious!

    I was more than pleased with our food and experience at Bagel Shack. The lox on a toasted everything bagel with chive cream cheese hit the spot! I also got an iced latte with oat milk that, surprisingly, may be the tastiest iced latte I've ever had in Orange County. It was so creamy and smooth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super friendly peeps behind the counter and chill vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Great location, easy parking lot in a large strip mall. If we surf doheny in the morning we end up here a lot of the time after. My son loves the cinnamon crunch bagel with butter. The pic below is my daughter's lox on an everything bagel which looked solid. All of The Bagel Shacks we've been too are solid.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came in for a quick something to eat. I had to ask the worker for help as it was my first time here. So they have an option of turning the bagels into sandwiches with the option of breakfast or lunch, or they also had different spreads to enjoy from. The smoothie is really fresh, you can still taste the chunks of fruit in it.

    Seen this place during the week while going to work . Stopped by the week later ! Man this place is good , I had the old man , added tomatoes. I should've added capers . Next time . Good fresh bagels and toppings , and the cream cheese wasn't over whelming , was really good and tasty ! I suggest looking at the menu pamphlets they have so you're ready to order ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is chill , seems like a very busy place in the morning and for locals to hang out and enjoy breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bagel Shack in Dana Point makes some tasty bagels. My first time here because I was looking for a Starbucks and it so happens that Albertsons has one and The Bagel Shack was right next door. So I ordered a delicious lox bagel with jalapeño cheddar as the bagel. The taste was delicious together. A hint of cheesiness and spice all added together. They didn't skimp out on any of the ingredients and I would come back here to try another bagel.

    Quick service, several options, reasonably priced and so popular. We ordered few bagel sandwiches off the menu, there is also a bagel wall where customers can purchase their desired amount of freshly baked bagels, as well as choose from an assortment of cream cheeses and/or freshly squeezed juice. So glad we popped in here on our trip to Dana Point this weekend. Highly recommend stopping in!

    Quintessential bagel place. Get here early, some flavors sell out. We came for bagels & coffee. If you like bagels, stop, don't go anywhere else. Note that they close at 2:30pm

    Yikes, 720 on a Sunday morning. No plain bagels, no salt bagels. Looks like about 2/3 of their offering available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, I don't think they had a mad rush in the morning that caused the store to look so unclean and the bagel rack to look, well, like there's not a lot of pride in it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tough day at the bagel shack I guess.

    Yes We have either plain or everything gluten free bagels. They take 6 days to make so we don’t sell them by the dozen but only on sandwiches.

    Sure, here's a witty and funny review you can use for the bagel place in Dana Point:…read more --- On the Fourth of July, while most were busy lighting fireworks, I was lighting up my taste buds at the bagel haven in Dana Point! Picture this: a line that stretched out the door like it was Black Friday, but somehow, I was whisked away into bagel bliss in just 15 minutes. They must have a secret bagel teleportation machine behind the counter! I decided to go all out and ordered seven bagels (because who needs moderation on a holiday?). I loaded up on cheese like it was my last meal--seriously, I think I single-handedly supported the dairy industry that day. Now, I had my eye on the bagel dog, but it was far too early for such a culinary adventure. Next time, though, I'm definitely going to tackle that savory beast! The bagels? Fresh, soft, and with a variety that could make even a picky eater swoon. I left with a happy belly and a newfound appreciation for the art of bagelry. If you're ever in Dana Point and in need of a bagel fix (or just want to witness a line that's more entertaining than any parade), this place is a must-visit! So, here's to bagels that make your taste buds dance and your holiday a little brighter. Can't wait to come back for that elusive bagel dog!

    All the low star reviews are sadly accurate!!!!!…read more When I first got here I thought, 'wow this place is nice' but then I experienced the horrible, rude, hostile customer service and realized why a nice place can be ruined by bad service = such a shame! I showed up and I was literally the only customer in the store and there were 4 employees so I thought I might get good service (as opposed to all the low star reviews that had bad service) but Nope, not even a 4 to 1 employee to customer ratio could give good service at this store as I interacted with all 4 employees: employee#1) the girl who took my order had no idea what she was doing so employee# 2) the second girl had to help her - she was fine despite me having to pay 2 times since the first time she forgot to charge me for my drink # 3) the younger man with glasses haphazardly threw the ingredients on my bagel sandwich in a hurry and only put cream cheese on one side of the bagel then the toppings on top so nothing was on the top of the bagel the half was just plain and wouldn't even stay together with my lox sandwich employee# 4) the fourth employee was the hostile male manager who yelled at me that if I want cream cheese on both sides of the bagel I have to pay extra money! Like really?!! What kind of crappy bagel store charges extra money to get plain cream cheese on both sides of a lox sandwich???!!!???? I could totally understand them charging me extra money if I wanted more lox (smoked salmon) or even more capers or onions but charging me extra money to put plain cream cheese on both sides of the bagel instead of just one side of the bagel?!? Come on now that is just ridiculous!!!! I even got my bagel without tomatoes so if this bagel store is so cheap and chintzy that they charge extra for cream cheese on both sides of the bagel you'd think I could put the cost saved of not getting any tomato towards the extra cream cheese. But nope - instead I got yelled at about my 'unrealistic expectations' of having cream cheese on both halves of the bagel. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!! Then he finally told me he would do it for me just this one time for free if I didn't give them a bad review but screw that - I will keep my integrity and write my bad review and he can keep his precious hoarded cream cheese that he'd just charge me extra for the next time. But there won't be a next time because I will NEVER come here again and suggest everyone else do the same!

My friend and I ordered vanilla matcha drinks, but they didn't taste very good. The matcha had a strong, grassy taste, so we decided to order different drinks instead. The second drinks were okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately, the customer service was the biggest disappointment. My friend came back and asked for five paper plates. Since she is deaf, she was trying to communicate with the male employee by texting on her phone. Instead of being patient and understanding, he gave her an attitude and seemed upset with her. At one point, he yelled, "Just one paper plate!" We were very disappointed by the way she was treated, especially when she was simply trying to communicate. We hope the café can do better when it comes to treating all customers with kindness, patience, and respect. Because of this experience, we unfortunately won't be coming back.

Well, after the first bite of the fresh baked, warm bagel sandwich, I knew it was a mistake that we were going to share. It was so dang delicious! We gobbled up our halves, then ended up ordering another bagel sandwich, plus some extra bagels to take home. I told the guy that helped me the second time that it was our first time there and that we really enjoyed our bagel sandwich so much, that we had to order another one - and he wasn't amuzed. I thought he might enjoy hearing a little positive feedback on how much we enjoyed our bagel sandwich but he wasn't too interested - almost gave me the vibes that he was still half asleep, so that was kind of a bummer! But as for the bagels, these are probably the BEST bagels we have ever had!! Oh, and their coffee was super delicious too! And if you stay there and have your bagel and coffee, they offer one free refill of coffee, which was really nice!! They have tables inside and and a few outside, so just stay and enjoy your bagel and coffee while it's hot and fresh!!

The quality and taste of the bagels have gone down or maybe I expected the quality and taste to go up with the prices. The ingredients didn't appear fresh at all and they did not include cream cheese spread on our sandwiches like the previous staff used to do. Everything tasted bland and... just "yuck" as my kids put it. No bueno. The store was also dirty with crumbs all over the seats and trash on the floor. They apparently don't wipe anything down anymore. We couldn't find one clean table to sit at and they weren't even busy! The previous staff was no longer there. Now, we see very young staff members who aren't as polite and patient. It was as if we were wasting their time. Why do they even bother working at a place like this if they hate human interaction? That was the impression I got when the cashier boy kept walking away to do other things as I was in the middle of ordering like he was annoyed that I didn't have my order ready to give him all in one shot. It wasn't like I was just ordering for myself. I was ordering for two other people. I don't know if this bagel shop is under new management but whoever is running this store needs to re-train their current staff on what "customer service" is. They also took forever to complete our order. This will definitely be our last visit. We spent over 50 bucks for a few bagel sandwiches and a coffee! That's insane.

Parking was easy for me I found street parking right by the beach, but they also have parking in the shopping plaza. I just happened to park outside. Before ordering, I asked to sample the egg salad and chicken salad, and honestly, I'm glad I did. Neither tasted fresh and both were lacking flavor, so that helped me decide to skip those. I ended up ordering the turkey sandwich with bacon, avocado, and all the fixings (I believe it's called the Rosa Special) on squaw bread. I have to say this sandwich was absolutely delicious. The bacon was perfectly crispy, the turkey was solid, and everything just worked together really well. What really stood out was their house sauce. I'm not sure what's in it, but it was so goooood! I even overheard other customers asking for it on the side. Definitely making a mental note to do that next time and find out exactly what it is. My only downside is the price. It was a bit high (around $18+), and I'm not sure it fully justifies that cost, but the quality is there. Overall, quick service, a really solid sandwich, and a spot I'd recommend if you're in the area.
