    Cute shack to drop by for some good bagels and coffee! Parking is limited but service was quick and friendly. We got cafe latte, mocha latte, and ham & cheese bagel on Asiago bagel and they were all delicious! The bagel was hot and came with a slice of pickle and chips with Asiago cheese on them.

    Used to love this spot but it has gone totally downhill. Bagel was hard and tasted old. Cream cheese on it was runny like liquid. The "fresh squeezed" OJ was definitely not. Tasted straight from the carton. Huge disappointment. After years of coming here I won't be back. Very sad.

    Cute bagel shack, they have gluten free as well. Lots of choices, I had eggs, cheese, bacon and avocado, which was really good! They have smoothies, coffee, pretty much everything for a nice breakfast or lunch. Been here a couple of times now, had not disappointed.

    The OG local bagel spot that started above T street in SC. I know there are a few locations but nothing compares to the OG. Surf T street, head to Bagel Shack, wait in the line that's present every waking hour it's open and order. I always get a large coffee which is surprisingly and solid cup. My youngest and my surf partner love's an OJ and 2 cinnamon bagels toasted with butter. I love seeing all the SC locals hanging enjoying their morning. Such a local gem that I hope never changes.

    I've been to the San Juan location(s) many times over the years, but this was my first time at the SC location. This is the best Lowers bagel sandwich I've had yet. The everything bagel was sooo fresh and chewy (in the best way iykyk). The egg, cheese, bacon and avocado were also super fresh and perfectly cooked. Only downside of this spot is the parking in the back as it's small and will fill up quickly (especially on the weekends). It's a little pricey too, but well worth it. Portions are solid. Owner is typically present. Customer service is solid too, especially considering it's mostly young adults working. Patio seating to enjoy the gorgeous SC weather plus a little indoors as well. Definitely worth it to visit if you're a bagel person. Smoothies are phenomenal too

    Bagels that rival those of NYC! Like, forreal. These bagels are legit. A jalapeno cheddar bagel where the cheddar is still stretching. The workers were awesome, and the vibes are insane. A little rustic, beachy, and every bit homey. I got a bagel with steak, egg, and peppers. With the jalapeno it was a bit spicy, and absolutely beautiful. Bursting with flavor, and plenty of substance to fuel you for a surf session The place was packed every time i walked by. Definitely a popular community spot--and for good reason!

    Small little shop with lots of options. Drinks and food. Quick service too. Lox bagel, superb.

    Cute islands vibe

    This place was fantastic. It's a little island vibe bagel shack. Apple named for what you get. Nothing fancy about this joint. Ordered two plain bagels, just toasted with cream cheese for my kids. For myself, I ordered an onion bagel with cream cheese, bacon, jalapeños. Toasted. The order came out relatively fast despite there being several people in front of us they get through it pretty quickly. Overall, my order cost just under $18. I think that's probably a little pricey on my eyes for a bagel, but maybe I'm out of touch because I didn't wat at a lot of bagel shops. Either way, it was delicious. My bagel was crispy and almost baguette, Ish and the texture. It was light and not heavy like a chunk of lead in my stomach. I could've used a little bit more cream cheese, but they were very generous with the bacon as well as the jalapeño. My plan was only to eat half of my sandwich, but it was so damn good. I couldn't put it down. Anyone who has eaten iAll About the Bread this bagel has a very similar texture to it. Especially on the outside. Super glad I found the spot and on my weekly drives to and from Del Mar. I know exactly where I'm stopping for breakfast.

    I wish there was some kind of bag or seal on my delivery order.

    I was totally shocked at Bagel Shack today! I think it's under new management, and it felt more like a snack bar or place you'd find at the beach. All the food is the same, but the service and state of the restaurant is not. It was super busy, but there was trash all over the floor (maybe they need more staff). It doesn't seem like they ever wipe up the tables, there was bird poop on the chairs and I felt like I needed a shower after seeing the bathroom. It honestly was pretty shocking. I think if The Bagel Shack put in even a couple small changes, new tables and chairs being #1, I'd want to come here more often. They do have a great menu, but with there being so many great restaurants nearby, I think them putting in a little extra work and customer service, that would go a long way.

    I really like going to the bagel shack! They are decently priced - about f5 dollars for a bagel with cream cheese and about 8 for a hot breakfast sandwich with eggs. I had the Maui Malibu with guacamole and with sliced Avocado, onions, and green chili. Amazing on multigrain bread. You order at the front counter and pick up from the kitchen , no tips expected. This location is close to the San Clemente Pier.

    Love The Bagel Shack! Whenever I am in San Clemente I always stop in. Very fresh and I always great! Highly recommend!

    I love this place it been my favorite UNFORTUNATELY today a hair was baked into my bagel sandwich very disappointed because this bagels aren't cheap ... sanitary precautions, and hairnets should be necessary in a restaurant business that's common sense The photo the hair looks small but it was a very long hair that was cooked into the bagel I couldn't even pull all of the hair out fully ... had to waste money and throw away the whole thing

    $20???

    I am still waiting for the day when JD Flannel Donuts opens a location closer to me so that I can…read morevisit daily! The donuts here are so good and always fresh. If you get here early morning, all of their donuts are hot/warm, which makes them extra special! My favorite flavors are still the Blueberry Lemon ($4.75) and Buttermilk Old Fashioned ($4.50). The people who work here are just amazing, they are super friendly and helpful! Parking is never an issue, but there could be a line depending on the time of day. I continue to be a fan of JD Flannel Donuts and highly recommend this place!

    I'm always on the hunt for the best donut around, and after seeing that JD Flannel's was rated one…read moreof the top donut shops in Orange County, I had to check it out. We stopped by on a Friday morning to grab a few donuts, and the experience was great from the start. The workers were fun, energetic, and super helpful. Nice clean and modern shop with a wall of donuts We couldn't decide what to order, but another customer told us we *had* to try the apple fritter and wow, they were right. That apple fritter was SO good, fresh, warm, perfectly soft, and not overly sweet. Honestly, perfection. We grabbed a few other donuts too, and while most were great, one tasted like it may have been sitting out a bit longer and wasn't nearly as good. So my advice: go early and get them fresh because that's when these donuts really shine. If you're in the area and craving fresh donuts, definitely check them out!
