Love this place so much!! Their breakfast sandwiches are super delicious. The staff is so friendly and super fast!!!! Also it’s just easy that it’s next to a grocery store so there’s always parking.

Better ambiance than the places nearby. I got the avocado sandwich for around $10. Different than what it said on the menu but still tasty.

Good lox bagel. Not a lot of cream cheese but that's the way I like it!!

Love this place! The staff members are amazing and really caring + fast!! I went here twice in the same week and each time has been an amazing experience. The man who made my two sandwiches was very fast and on point. I got a ham, egg cheese croissant, and a bacon, sausage, egg cheese on an everything bagel. These sandwiches were made literally as I turned my back to wait as I paid! I was extremely impressed. Also the Coconut iced latte was out of this world, and the best Latte I have had in San Diego by far… not overly sugary, and tasted very real. Extremely impressed with my 10am Wednesday morning service. I give them 10/10! They deserve great tips.

Hands down best Vietnamese coffee I’ve ever had. Also amazing service and great bagels. Would definitely recommend

The bagels are really beautiful and they really lay on the toppings. The size is great, the toastability is great. I don’t know if it was just my batch or what but the dough is in DESPERATE need of salt. The coatings for garlic, onion, sesame and everything are thick but also need salt. This may be what some other people are mentioning as the variability in quality. Without salt, things are going to taste bland even if they’re loaded with toppings
Edit: as I’m eating these bagels, some clearly have a proper amount of salt and some do not. To the business owners, I would suggest auditing each person who makes your dough and making sure they are not confusing or missing salt measurements. The bagels are great when they’re done properly

As a native New Yorker, I know my bagels and I know my breakfast sandwiches. This place is great. Nothing in California is Essa Bagel, but this place is so much better than any of the chains. Real upstate New York bagel deli type of feel!

A lovely local mom-n-pop establishment not far from La Jolla Village Square and UCSD. They’ve been around for a long time. I had a friend who worked here for 2-3 years during high school.
Their breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches are super good. Fresh ingredients, great bagels, and nice flavor profiles. I love the sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel — it’s like a far better version of a McMuffin.
The staff is super friendly and easygoing. For a small shop they have a fairly extensive menu and you can find pretty good coffee here too. Definitely stop by and give it a try.

Best bagel/brunch place in the area! I was a regular for 3 years (until I moved out). Their food is great and feels very natural (no unhealthy additives). Not to mention the cost-benefit. I’ve definitely paid way more on food that I enjoyed way less.
Highly recommend their “daily omelette”, “traditional”, or tuna melt.

Went here for the first time instead of Breugger’s bagels since it was closer and it was the best decision ever made! Can’t believe I didn’t notice this awesome spot before! Amazingly fresh bagels with great options for cream cheese and mixing it up with choice eggs and cheese. Their mocha(both hot and iced) was also delicious, comparable to Peet’s and better than Starbucks! This will definitely be my regular bagel place! The owners are so sweet, they come out and give the order to your table. Quick and efficient service too!
