This was one of the best bagel breakfast sandwiches we ever had! We did the Vegetarian bagel- I think it had sprouts and tomatoes and eggs etc... And was absolutely delicious! I got a Croissant with Egg, Tomato, Avocado and it was also amazing!They do everything fresh, so it does take a bit longer but they bring it to your table and they take such care at making each sandwich. The orange Juice is squeezed fresh and the coffee was tasty and hot. They were so friendly and helpful and the food was incredible. Would 1000x eat there again! And the portions were huge! We actually ate it around noon for lunch and were still full hours later!

Pleasantly surprised to find a high quality bagel stop 🛑 which was reasonably priced and tasted great. Got the heart ♥ attack bagel which had a hot 🔥 link, bacon 🥓, egg 🥚 and cheese 🧀. Only ate half, at a beautiful location. Havent yet found a comparable bagel shop in the area. Recommended!

Good bagels, good coffee, good people. Gonna come back next time I visit Monterey!

Beautiful clean bagel shop! Great food. Staff not the nicest but for the price of such good food, its not terrible. Very affordable.

A LOT of variety of bagels. Stopped here for breakfast and tried a few varieties of bagels and croissants. Both were delicious.

I brought my family for breakfast this past Friday. I immediately noticed most of the employees (mainly all three males with tattoos) had blood shot red eyes along with a strong smell of marijuana. Definitely not family friendly place but food was okay. I would recommend the Bagel Bakery instead (down the street), a lot more professional. Please smoke outside of business location and hours.

The food was great, big selection of bagel sandwiches. We had the cheese bagels with eggs and ham was delish. The service on the other hand, very slow, our food was sitting in the warming area for a while till I asked for it.

Amazing frrsh beagles, toasted to perfection. Great service by caring and polite people. A must for BF or quick bite.

I really enjoyed my bagel at Bagel Kitchen! It was well-toasted, with fresh ingredients. The menu has creative flavor combinations as well. My only complaint is that its hard to eat a stuffed bagel sandwich like this one without making a mess, but nonetheless its an enjoyable experience.

Long waits, but the assembly line is disorganized. Same person that takes your order also makes the bagel. Lots of hands touching cash, cashier screens, bagels, cream cheese, etc.Bagel was good, and they are super generous with the cream cheese! Yum!

With the amount of people working here there should be no line or no wait that I experienced. It seems everyone is doing everything, and there is no order to this place. The menu is on the opposite wall, and coming from Ny, this place is a joke in service. By all means it’s a bagel and some smear, but 30minute ordeal ain’t my way…. Perhaps it’s the California Way.

The bagels aren’t that good, and the coffee is average at best. Passable spot to get you through breakfast.

Absolutely the best. Best food, best staff!

Way bigger inside than I though. I probably won’t get the Vietnamese iced coffee again but I don’t care because the sandwiches/bagels make up for it

Favorite place to get bagel sandwiches. Gotta get there before 12 if you want better selection. I get the chorizo or the heart attack on jalapeño cheese. So delicious. Dirty chai is really good. Worth the 30 minute drive. Most people who work there are cool. 1 or two can use some people skills...

Came here to get breakfast. They do not have much of a system to deal with a lot of customers. If they were more busy they would fall behind terribly. No one wants to take your order until a couple minutes pass by, and there is no easy way to see what to order. I waited a couple minutes then I asked about breakfast and they told me to grab a menu from a table behind me. When I was ready to order it was another couple minutes. They also dont put the orders into the system and I do not think the couple in front of me even paid for their coffee and bagels because the staff didnt care to make sure.. Perhaps they should change the system to print out to the back staff what someone orders so that they dont miss out on their sales. They should also be more aware of who and where their customers are so that they dont miss anyone. some guy walked out because no one asked him what he wanted. All this within the first 10 minutes is not a good look.

Really cute atmosphere and kind staff. The bagels are great! Lots of topping options. We took our bagels to go and ate the along the 17 mile drive.

Chicken club bagel was fantastic, but I cant wait to try some of the breakfast varieties!

Bagels are good, but they need to work on the rest of their ingredients. Had to pull most of the veggies of my veggie protein sandwich cause they were so under ripe.

Wonderful food, amazing service. It may seem pricey, however Ive never had a better bagel🥯 ❤️❤️❤️

The bagel selection is not as vast as at some of the chain places, but the bagels are better and they have a large sandwich selection. The sandwiches are good and they have biscuits and croissants too which you don’t always see.

Always excellent food, and friendly staff.

Really great service I love the food they serve.

Great service, wonderful breakfast burrito. Huge portion & was so fresh/tasty!

Deliciously Perfect! Finished my chorizo bagel before I could snap a picture. The breakfast burrito was good too. Relaxing place to eat and hang for a moment. We will for sure eat here again when we are in town.

Fast, friendly service. The dirty chai was great, and they didnt charge extra to make it iced, or to add almond milk. There was a large selection of bagels and toppings, and everything looked delicious.

Absolutely delicious and great service.

The food was amazing and the staff was generous, but it did take some time before I was able to order. Amazing nonetheless.

This place is must try! We ordered the chorizo egg bagel and the bacon egg. I personally preferred the bacon egg paired with the garlic bagel as there was a ton of flavor. Regardless, both sandwiches were delicious. Great place to stop by for a quick bite before or after taking a stroll by the ocean. They also offer coffee selections to go with your meal. Their iced vanilla latte was phenomenal.

My favorite place to get bagels & bagel sandwiches in the Monterey Bay area! Cute, classy aesthetic, but most importantly: delicious food at great prices. The employees are always pleasant & down-to-Earth. Best bagel place to go to if youre vegan, they have hummus, veggie sandwiches, avocado toast, some sort of seasoned tofu spread (fyi, not a Tofutti-like cream cheese like I thought the first time I ordered it), and all their bagels (besides the obvious cheese ones) are vegan! Way better than the usual option dry bagel please. Obviously great options for non-vegans as well, plus coffee drinks, though I havent tried those yet. They also have a unisex bathroom, which Im sure many appreciate. Highly recommend for breakfast or a midday snack.

Came in here while I was in town. Ordered a turkey sandwich on a whole wheat bagel and it was so delicious I had to come in the next day for the same thing. Recommend highly for for breakfast or light lunch.

The crispy texture of the hot bagels was very delicious. The price is reasonable.

Place is nice got the lox bagel and a couple different bagels as well . Not a fan of the cream cheese that is light and fluffy but also piled on. which wasnt that enjoyable., Felt bad for the people at the red light that saw me licking my bagel.

Didn’t care for the Big Sur, too much going on. The chorizo breakfast bagel was on point.

Menu looked great, I ordered the vegan sandwich with sundried tomatoes, cant recall the name...vegan patty was flavorless and the staff are severely lacking happiness...I felt like I was intruding. Odd experience.

Yummy bagels. Bagel sandwiches too! Coffee juice soda chips breakfast bagel or more on the lunch side? They have that too!

Incredible service!

I havent been here since 1993, but I still remember how good the bagel sandwich was. The Happy Cow! Thanks for the memories!

Delicious veggie burrito 😋

Bagels are always fresh and coffee is perfect! Go-to spot whenever were in town!

Bagel kitchen has the best bagels in town!!! Love the food n Louie & the crew are the bes6!!! Love u guys!!

I’ve been a regular customer for a few years and recently had a mixup with an order that was charged too much. The leadership team addressed it promptly, proactively corrected the misunderstanding and invited me to return for a credit. I really appreciate great customer service and attention to detail. The team at bagel kitchen is always consistent, yummy food and inviting to everyone. Thank you!

Bagels are great. Cream cheese is applied to heavily, though. Hot cocoa is delicious. Chai latte was disappointing.

Ive been here a few times while I was 8n the area and they are good! Between their variety of breakfast and lunch options, and about a dozen different kinds of bagels, there should be something for what youre craving. Just keep in mind these are plainly made, so if you have allergies or food issues feel free to ask ahead of time. Other than that enjoy!

Really good price and great food! You can get quite a variety of foods on a bagel, or a bun. Awesome brunch/lunch place, one if the cheapest and leasf busy ones around. Also of note is their good coffee! Full coffee bar.

I’m from the jersey/philly/NYC area, I know good bread and bagels. This place has outstanding bagels. Amazing. The service is great and the coffee is good too. Reasonable prices! One of our favorite stops along the way.

Great bagels. Super fresh. And a good collection of cream cheeses if youre a fan. They also got sandwiches. Wanted to try the house made organic lemonade but they hadnt gotten lemons for the day! Good espresso. Great place overall.

Tourists from Ohio, we picked this place for breakfast because we needed to use the laundromat next door. WHAT A GEM. Friendly staff, huge variety, free wifi, and absolutely delicious flavors. Youll wait a few minutes because everything is freshly made, but definitely worth it!

I love the creative Bagels here!!!!! I love the Lox sandwich with sprouts/tomatoes/onions lite on the cream cheese on the everything bagel.. YUMMY... super friendly family business.. got love it!

Truly the customer service dimmed this experience for me. We were met with rude order taking, confusion on how or where to pay, again met with an approach that was insulting in a weird way. Then when the order was made wrong I was given dirty looks by 3 people who seemed to whisper by the station, seems like there is no customer service here and I will not return. Which is unfortunate because it was clean and the bagels were not heavy like bagel bakery. Good food is not worth bad customer service.

Great small place for breakfast (or lunch). Decent prices and a robust menu help to make this a place for anyone no matter their diet. They make their bagels in house and they are great! We return often!

Very good selection of vegetarian bagels, and the staff are friendly and quick. There were limited choices of bagels, which they had pretty much sold out by 11 am. Our food was VERY tasty, and the prices are reasonable.

Tasty bagel sandwiches. Good quality bagels.

Bagel Kitchen has great coffee, espresso, etc. along with a wide variety of tea choices. The bagels and sandwiches are fresh and delicious. Very friendly and customer-oriented staff. Easy parking as the building is in the same shoping area as Ace Hardware and other stores.

Its as good as a toaster bagel. No rise. No chew. They dont even make their own spread, just use Philadelphia. Service was as slow as the dead.

Best bagel shop in town. Good prices and good quality ingredients. They serve acme coffee and use good bread.Also they have ice cream and waffles and interesting stuff like that.Plus the staff is hella chill.

Even if Starbucks is your thing, Bagel Kitchen is a must visit. They make a wide selection of breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches, perfect for the picnic or hike you have planned in beautiful Monterey. Enjoy the Acme cold brew and pleasant conversation with the cool, tattoed staff. Plenty of natural light, decorative succulents, and spacious seating. Big thumbs up!

Best Bagel breakfast sandwich Ive eaten in a long time. Happy dance..

Ever since they came to the Penninsula they created the standard of great taste and texture and freshness. The more recent owners have attained to that same standard. Excellent.

We were customers multiple times a week for months. Finally done with the rude staff, specifically the dude in there, mistakes on orders, raw egg whites in our bagels, they never have the correct bagels available even after charging you for them, and then no offer to refund, you gotta ask. Its been enough. What a terrible experience. Also you guys can use your DoorDash tablet to mark which bagels youre out of so this doesnt happen.

Top customer service and food and coffee

Very good food. Very good coffee. Very friendly service. Clean and nice. I really recommend it!

Great place for a bagel sandwich. Prices are very reasonable. Tastes great and lots of options. Friendly employees and a nice place.

Cute place, great customer service, yummy bagels, and strong coffee!

Turkey Club on Sourdough...bagel primo fresh...bacon crisp, turkey moist...Server did great job with a friendly Happy New Year smile... Outstanding in all aspects!

Bagels are 10/10 and the atmosphere was great but I had a large order and could not distinguish the bagels with out opening all of the bagels wrappings . Mabye they can try labeling just the outside with a sharpie. Overall pretty good

Dont stare at the guy at the registers mole.

Comfortable & spacious seating. Their Mar bagel sandwich is awesome! Be sure to try one.

Great bagels and sandwiches. Protein toast is good

Ordered a sausage burrito. It doesn’t come with cheese so I paid extra. More than $8 for one mediocre burrito overstuffed with way too much avocado. There was an “impression” of sausage with the scarce and wimpy slivers of meat.

Way better bagels than The Bagel Bakery!

Really cool place and tasty bagels. Coffee is delicious.

Yum!! They offer Gluten free bagels!!! I AM IN HEAVEN!

Good food 👌 nice ppl 👍

Love there cinnamon raisins bagel with strawberry cream cheese

We were looking to grab a quick bite to eat before grocery shopping at Safeway and this came up.Their storefront immediately signaled trendy with its minimalist artwork, hanging garden, and neon sign. The first thing that caught my eye was the avocado toast on sprouted grain bread priced at $4.95. The last time Id ordered avocado toast it was nearer to $9. Huh. Secondly, their bagels were markedly thinner than the carb bombs that are brought in every Friday from Bagel Corner.I decided on the Jalapeno Bomb, with eggs, jalapeno, pepper jack cheese, avocado and side of salsa. In my experience, jalapeno cheddar bagels are notoriously greasy on behalf of the cheese, so I opted for a blueberry bagel and spicy salsa.Upon arrival, I noticed the generous portioning of fresh, perfectly ripe avocado. I dolloped some of the salsa verde and in the first bite knew it was a winner. Even the latte I ordered was plenty fine considering it wasnt a dedicated coffee shop! I also had a bite of my girlfriends bagel, whose jalapeno cheddar bagel was not at all greasy to the touch.We will definitely be back. Great location to hit before or after shopping at Safeway or Trader Joes or before heading down to Big Sur.

Nice vibe (hipster but comfortable), good food, clean environment.

Oh so good bagel sandwiches! Love this place.

I got an asiago bagel sandwich with chorizo, eggs, cheese, avocado and jalapeño. It was very good although in my opinion they went a little heavy on the avocado and jalapeños. Good amount of seating and not too long of a wait for food.

Bagels were delicious. Staff was very friendly. Nice place to sit and have breakfast or lunch.

They have a great menu for everyone and prices that are awesome for what you get! The owners are good people to get to know!

Very fresh bagel and ingredients. Love it! Highly recommended!

Tasty bagels and decent coffee. A relaxed spot to grab a bite.

Make friends with the staff. They work hard and are fast. Military and old people discounts if you ask.

Ok place just to get Bagels fast service and California high prices.

Nice bagels, but it tool little bit more time, than I expected

They have a variety of bagels

Nice bagel spot. Coffee was decent.

Very delicious and inexpensive. Waffle BLT with side if syrup filling and under $6 out the door.

Place is clean, delicious, and the staff is friendly. Plus they have good boba Thai iced tea.

They make a very good burger.

Good selection of bagels and good for families with young kids. Breakfsst Sandwiches are great.
