East Coast Bagel Co - Laguna Niguel

I have now sampled every bagel shop in town, and this is the most authentic. Bagels are perfectly soft, with chewy crust, just the way they are on the east coast. Wonderful flavors and generous cream cheese as well. Once you've had a bagel here, you can't go anywhere else!

Friendly shopkeep, tasty NY style bagels! They have a good customer-base, so I call the day before and place my order to be sure the variety I like is available in the larger quantity I need : Their veggie cream cheese is fresh as well, good flavors!

The Lox Bagel Sandwich is a must-try for anyone who loves gravlax, and the portions are so generous that you could easily share — definitely a great value at $7.50. If you're looking to save a few bucks, you can always go for the Bagel Schmear for $5.00, but that means missing out on the fantastic smoked salmon. Ultimately, it’s your choice! I noticed some reviews expressing disappointment over the new ownership and changes to the menu, but honestly, East Coast Bagel does a great job if you're nearby and craving a tasty bagel or bagel sandwich.

The bagels are consistently chewy and perfect every time! They are operated by a fantastic, hardworking family from the area.

This was the best bagel I’ve had in Orange County. I ordered the Lox sandwich, which was fully packed, but the standout was definitely the bagel itself. From now on, this will be my go-to bagel spot.
