The Bagel Bakery

I love coffee… I have two toddlers, so drink way more caffeine than I should, and consider myself kind of an expert in that field. I already loved the bagels, but decided to give me Vietnamese coffee ago. Let me say I will never be back to Starbucks although I love our local Starbucks customer service. I can get an eight dollar humongous coffee that taste way richer than anything I've had at Starbucks lately.

Update: been back every day since this review and omg the coffee🥰

This place had some of the best bagels I've had in CA. I did wish they had hot coffee options. However, the iced coffee I had was delicious.

On more of the expensive side in terms of bagels however they were incredibly good. I had their salt bagel sandwich and I throughly enjoyed it

This is a great shop staff are so friendly, I will be getting my bagels here in the morning. Working in the parking lot is great because it's shaded.

That said, on a tangent here, I couldn't help but notice two vehicles park next to me, and both drivers were wearing "green" shirts. Also, both drivers were making darting glances at me?

The driver of the Ford (older lady) keeps staring at me. ...doing nothing for over 40 minutes.

Then, the other driver with a bike rack pulls in, and 4 kids unload. They start playing football in the parking lot, are yelling/jumping, and making plays right by my car? (Not anyone elses car?)It's a big parking lot.... nor really sure what makes this location special. (While they were staring at me) I had to kindly remind them (twice) that the parking lot is not a playground.

(Side note: I've spent a lot of time in parking lots, skateboarding, or riding BMX.never once would I feel like i am being surrounded... yet now, I am routinely inundated with a visual appearance of senior citizens and people with kids.) (Bizzare)

Had a cinnamon raisin bagel with jalapeno spread. It was very good.

We love this place. Of course bagels are awesome. I like the Mexican fiesta sandwich on a jalapeno bagel!

This is by far the best bagel shop in Monterey! The staff is phenomenal, friendly, fast, they check all the boxes. Henry is great with his customers. The coffee is good and the bagels always seem to come out perfect. This is a frequent morning stop for me.

This place defined bagels for me as a child. It's changed hands but the bagels are still great. Every time I'm in town I get bagels here. The happy cow with spicy mustard is, in my opinion, the perfect bagel sandwich, though I sub peproncinis for onions. So good. The bagel dogs are amazing. The bagels are great. Not too dense, but not too bready. The flavors are great. The cream cheese selection is awesome. I love the herb cream cheese and I would fight you over the last serving of honey butter. This place is awesome! They deserve your business.

Well I tried this place out and loved it. Henry who is usually at the counter when I visit has always been real friendly and hospitable. Not a large shop but there is outside sitting and just about anything you could want to quench your thirst. If you get hungry real early they open about 7 am. They have a bagel sandwich on menu for just about everyone. I myself usually get the vegetarian. Highly recommend a visit if you've never been and for paying with apple pay this is your spot.

Great fresh bagels. Kinda of pricey for a bagel and cream cheese but everything is fresh and they don't skimp on the cream cheese.

I love this place! Henry and the team at Bagel Bakery are courteous and hard working.

Create your own bagel, you can count on quality ingredients. I also typically get a Vietnamese iced coffee or a Boba smoothie, both are amazing.

Highly recommended for breakfast and lunch!

Discovered this place when I was up here last year. It's excellent! There's a reason why it's packed with regulars. The turkey croissant sandwich I had today was fantastic. Fast and friendly service too!

The food was great, they took my order one item at a time so it took awhile to get all our food, but it was delicious 😋

Yeah, you're gonna wanna try these bagels.

We travel a lot and we’ve had LOTS of bagels all around the country. THESE are good bagels. Their “everything” bagel is known as the “super seed” and it was fabulous. The cream cheese and cream cheese to bagel ratio was perfect! :)

Delish! I got a blueberry bagel with cream cheese, calif dream on wheat, and an HBO on an onion bagel. Each bagel was chewy and flavored as what is said. Great place!!

Excellent spot for bagels, breakfast items and more. Clean establishment and friendly service. Just stopped in on the way back home from vacation and it was delicious. Would love to come back.

I live in Arizona and only get to come here rarely but I make a point to visit every single time I'm near! Best bagel sandwich I have ever had, anywhere! Thank you!

Food is good and reliable. They are super fast and friendly. The chocolate croissants are awesome. I'm becoming a regular for sure.

Excellent bagels in a variety of options to suit every palate. Friendly and quick service.
