Einstein Bros. Bagels

Einstein Bros. Bagels in Rancho Santa Margarita is a dependable go-to for freshly baked bagels, delicious breakfast sandwiches, and a variety of cream cheese spreads. Their farmhouse sandwich—a savory mix of eggs, bacon, ham, cheddar, and roasted tomato—is a customer favorite. With its welcoming atmosphere, this spot is perfect for a quick morning stop or a casual weekend breakfast.

Pro Tip: Download their app for rewards and occasional free bagels!

Sidecar Donuts and Coffee

Known for its artisan doughnuts, Sidecar in Costa Mesa has entered the bagel game with the same attention to detail and quality. Their bagels are handcrafted daily, offering a perfect balance of chewiness and flavor. The standout here is the jalapeño cheddar bagel paired with their house-made scallion cream cheese. So good for breakfast or even an early lunch!

Pro Tip: Their seasonal bagels sell out fast, so get there early to snag the best options!

Boil & Bake

Boil & Bake specializes in naturally leavened bagels that are both beautiful and delicious. Their lox bagel, featuring house-cured salmon and fresh dill, is a masterpiece. The cozy patio seating makes it a great spot to enjoy a laid-back breakfast or brunch.

Pro Tip: Their Everything bagel is a standout—pair it with their whipped scallion cream cheese for the ultimate experience.

East Coast Bagel Co.

East Coast Bagel Co. delivers a true taste of New York-style bagels right in the heart of Orange County. Their bagels are perfectly dense and chewy, ideal for building a classic bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich or enjoying a flavorful schmear. One of my favorite bagel locations!

Pro Tip: Try their garlic bagel with herb cream cheese—it’s a savory combo you won’t forget.

I Love Bagels

This Laguna Niguel gem is a favorite for its fresh, perfectly textured bagel menu and warm, friendly service. Their breakfast bagel sandwiches, like the bacon, egg, and cheese, are filling and flavorful. The wide selection of bagels and spreads ensures there’s something for everyone.

Pro Tip: Grab a baker’s dozen to-go—it’s the perfect way to start your mornings all week long.

 

From Rancho Santa Margarita to Laguna Niguel, these bagel shops have Orange County covered when it comes to top-tier bagels. Whether you’re craving a quick bite before heading into the office, or a more leisurely breakfast, these spots deliver quality and flavor every time.
