This is my favorite bagel spot in OC. The owner, Chad, is almost always there and he's always so friendly and welcoming. It's a great corner location with outdoor seating. The food and drinks come out quick and are always delicious.

Jalapeño & Cheese Bagel with house made Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Cheese.
Jenn R.

Some mornings call for a toasted bagel with copious amounts of house made (whipped) cream cheese and a quiet stretch of uninterrupted time scrolling through news, memes, and random rabbit holes. Cue in Bagel Shack... and my phone. THE FOOD. - Jalapeño & Cheese Bagel. The crust is golden and slightly crisp, topped with melted cheddar and thin slices of jalapeño that add mild heat without being overwhelming. Inside, the bagel is dense, but soft and pleasantly chewy. - Sun-Dried Tomato Bagel. Studded with pieces of sun-dried tomato throughout, this bagel delivers a sweet and savory tang in every bite. - Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Cheese. Smooth and lightly whipped, this spread balances the tangy richness of sun-dried tomatoes with the mellow creaminess of cheese. THE VERDICT. Quality bagels with delicious flavored cream cheeses make it an easy decision to return!

Baja Malibu on jalapeno cheddar bagel, iced vanilla latte and the blended mocha

The Baja Malibu is a definite "get again" bagel sandwich on jalapeno cheddar. The blended mocha was so yummy. The workers were friendly and service was quick. Store was kept clean even with the volume of customers coming in! 10/10

Decided to try out a new bagel place and I'd have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm always looking for the best breakfast places in South OC, which I feel is extremely underrated as a food scene. There are so many local businesses that just make great food, and I'm glad to count The Bagel Shack among them. I'm a Bagels & Brew person since it's closer to me, but they make solid bagel sandwiches here, and I love how there's a great steak bagel option called Uppers, which makes for a hearty breakfast when you want something beyond the more basic options. It's still at a very fair price in this economy for a whole lot of food, which I'm always going to highlight. I'm definitely adding this place to my rotation when I'm looking for a great bagel sandwich, where it stands out among a pretty competitive scene of delicious, affordable options for breakfast. TIP: Jalapeño bagels are my favorite and great with the sandwich.

We love bagel shack and usually go to the one in San Clemente. This one isn't as good with their portions on the toppings. I've attached of the same thing from different locations. My bagel wasn't really toasted and it had very minimal avocado which is sucky! The line wasn't long yet when we got it but maybe they were backed up with orders.

The service is so quick and everyone is so kind and thoughtful. One of the fort times I came they went above and beyond and I now have been coming every week for almost 2 years. The bagels are always super fresh and the combos they make are so flavorful!

Everything Bagel with Butter

Love this spot. New York for sure ruined bagels for me but to me this is the closest feel I can get honestly. Great assortment something for everyone. Owner is also always friendly and personable. They get busy so I recommend ordering ahead. Also love the beach ambiance feel. My go to is the everything bagel with butter extra toasted.

There are few good bagel shops here in South Orange County but the bagel shack is by far the best of the bunch. Their bagels are fluffy, yet the outer is crisp and inner is chewy. It's perfect to take home and spread their delicious whipped cream cheese, or grab one of their made sandwiches. Our favorites are the cinnamon, the everything, the plain (in my opinion they have one of the best plain bagels) and jalapeño and cheese is stuffed with jalapeños just how I like it. The service is good, it's quaint inside but there is plenty of parking and you can sit down and eat outside as there is no seating inside. Def worth a place to check out when you are in the area.

I didn't understand the hype behind bagels until I had a REAL bagel from this spot. It was so delicious and a game-changer

There's nearly always a line so you know it's good. The bagels are tasty especially when toasted. The fresh squeezed OJ is perfect.

We got there at 8:30 pm, and they were already cleaning up, so we asked if they were still open before we ordered. They were so kind to let us order our sandwiches even though they were cleaning up the kitchen. We love their Dutch crunch bread so much so we bought two loaves to have at home. They made the sandwiches quick and we took ours and ate it in the car. Hubby got the whole Baja Cheesesteak with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was pretty red and the sauce was a bit spicy. He enjoyed his sandwich and his free cookie. I got the Sammie French Dip with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was too red for me. I like my meat cooked a little more, so I decided to wait to cook it more at home. The dip had a horseradish flavor which was too strong for me, so I will probably not eat it. I loved my free cookie! I really liked the Mr Pickle sandwich last time so I will definitely try another cold sandwich next time. I can't wait to make sandwiches with the Dutch bread we got!

They're always carrying a sweet smile and have such amazing service As for the food, I tried the olivich and this sandwich was outstanding, I 100% recommend. The bread is perfectly toasted up, the chicken is juicy, the veggies are fresh, the fries/chips added add a perfect crunch, plus the sauce they add has an incredibly savory flavor to it!! One of my all time favorite sandwiches. Paired the food up with some hot chai and pistachio baklava with drizzled honey, definitely try if you're very into sweets!! 10/10

I had a craving for my favorite Oliva Special Salad so decided to stop by on my way home to place a…read more"to go" order. The place was busy which is great to see on a Saturday night! Ordered the salad and the Olivich sandwich with meat. I noticed several customers going up to the counter to check on their food, so figured they were pretty overwhelmed but after waiting 40min for 2 items, and getting no follow-up from a gentleman who said he was going to check on my order (I saw him leave instead), I asked them to cancel my order. The guy told me to give him 5 min. to get it done. I was happy to get my food 10min later! This is where my disappointment happens.... After waiting 50min for a salad and a sandwich, they forgot to put the dressing in the bag and according to the menu, the sandwich should have been on a baguette but it was on more like a French roll. Tasty, but I love baguettes which is why I ordered it. Maybe a "I'm sorry" piece of baklava would have made the experience a little better? Next time I will turn around and leave if they are really busy. Better to go on a slow night.
