John's Bagel Deli

Happened to be passing through this area and was looking for a relatively easy family breakfast. Decided to pop into John's Bagels figuring bagel sandwiches would be quick and painless. Ordering was easy, and the menu was impressive. We ordered 4 sandwiches and waited. Although all the items at this place feel a bit expensive, I will say that they seem generous with their fillings, so I suppose it makes it feel a bit more like a decent value. Where I will disagree is that what they make are bagels. #1, they have no hole (which I realize makes for better sandwiches), #2 I wondered if they actually were Bialy's rather than Bagels. The exterior texture of all our bagels didn't have that snap, and the bread inside seemed much denser than you'd want from a typical bagel. I know we're in SoCal and can't expect to find NYC style bagels, but for a shop that does so well otherwise, I'd encourage them to either boil the bagels longer, or just call the items Bialy's to remove confusion. Additionally, when 'toasting' the bagels, a few of ours were outright burnt, which was disappointing, but we had already left to ask about having them remade.

I just came from John's the lady there I talked to her. She's the owner. She's very nice. I got lots of different flavor, bagels some with cheese, some with jalapeno and cheese some with garlic. They still were warm. I was there at about 6:45 a.m. so they had just finished cooking them. I brought him to work for our team. Everybody love them. They had cream cheese with jalapeno. They had cream cheese with honey and cinnamon. They had all kinds of different cream cheese.

SO GOOD. Bagels are huge and such good quality. I love the north of the border on a cheddar cheese bagel for a savory choice or a chocolate chip bagel toasted with butter or a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese for more of a sweet choice. Can’t go wrong with anything here

Delicious and freshly baked bagels. Great place to get breakfast for family and coworkers. We especially like the blueberry and everything bagels!

Breakfast spot for a cheap bagel. They don't have the traditional hole in the middle bagels, but you can tell it was fresh(made the same day).

Really nice place, fresh, good customer service. Seems popular with locals. But these are not really bagels, something closer to a roll. They are huge, taste good, generous with the cream cheese, but if you are looking to scratch your bagel itch, this place will not do it. I suspect they are best for sandwiches. This is primarily take out place with just a couple tables.

First time here, and bagels are really good. Nice and friendly service and easy to order, you pick a menu item then choose the bagel of your choice. If your in the area give it a try. I got the Pepperoni Pizza bagel and the Turkey Delight
