The pizza bagel is great, the bagels themselves are alright, but not nearly as good as Einstein Bagels. The Angus burger is excellent, the veggie burger is alright. The worst thing is the waiting line, and you can pretty much expect that you will spend your lunch hour waiting for your food, and at around an hour and ten minutes they will bring it out. Everyone is polite and the customer service is good. I recommend ordering the food before you get here if you plan on relaxing during lunch and enjoying your meal.

Bagels and Brew was suggested to us by my brother in law and his girlfriend. In fact she was very excited when she found out we live within walking distance! I will say I wasnt disappointed. The prices are good and the bagels are delicious! They have a good variety including some flavors ive never seen before like French Toast. It was too rainy when we were there, but they do have a nice outdoor seating area for nicer days. It also looked like they had bagel sandwiches etc. Ill definitely be back to try more things!

Depressing how this place has changed. Service is awful. In their defense, they do try to fix issues, but my order is almost never right and I go all the time. I keep coming back since the food is still great, and its so close to work, but its frustrating how often everything I ordered is wrong, not to mention they clearly do little to no training on how to take a phone order. Been coming since I was a kid and I wish the service was what it used to be... Or at least half decent. At least theyre not rude.

I do enjoy a bagel in the morning! They have a great variety of breakfast choices outside of just the bagel. And they have turkey sausage which makes them my favorite stop in the AM. Their coffee is excellent and I have never had to wait for it, which I appreciate... since I am always in a rush. The only change I would make is how the customers line up and where to wait for your togo order, oh and one register hidden to take phone orders... other than that It is an excellent place to grab some grub!

Well Ive always gone to the location in Aliso Viejo, and so comparing the two, AV was far better. AV was larger, had a bigger menu, and served larger portions. I had a ruben at both places and I was served more meat at AV and for some reason LF doesnt serve fries. A small bag of chips didnt really compare to a hot side of fries. Sadly, I wouldnt go back here knowing I could go just a few minutes to AV and get a better deal for my food.

What an excellent local gem. This place has thankful been around for decades and I hope it will stay around for decades more. Their bagels are freshly made and are delicious with cream cheese or as a breakfast sandwich. But they have MUCH more than just bagels on the menu. If you are anywhere nearby and are looking for a good breakfast or are looking for a place to relax & catch up with friends & family, this is a popular spot!

This is a great place to get breakfast bagels and burgers as well. Their service is fast and friendly and the food is always hot. My favorite breakfast bagel is their sun-dried tomato and basil sunrise. Its a perfect bagel for those lazy mornings. Dont try to eat this on the go because it can be a bit messy. Their Tillamook Angus burger is my favorite. They really know how to make a juicy and delicious burger.

Weve been going since almost the first day this place opened. So popular that they had to expand a few years ago. And its popular because everything is just right: the breakfasts, the lunches, the drinks, the atmosphere, the tables inside and outside. You feel very much like your are part of the community. Always nice people working here. Bring your family, your Sunday newspaper, your dogs and stay awhile.

Its a bagel place with sandwiches, and the sandwich business has taken over. The food is of good quality. However, its usually over-crowded at lunch times, table space is cramped and crowded, and the service can be extremely slow. I waited 25 minutes for a to-go order once, and have found this was not entirely unusual. I used to go to lunch here periodically, and dont any more. It isnt pleasant.

This is one of my weekly spots. Really solid menu. Compared to other bagel places they do cook their egg stove top (vs microwave). Their bagels have the right texture: crusty outside and slightly chewy with a soft interior. They also have a good selection of sandwiches and lets not forgot an online ordering system to skip the line. Also they have a really stellar staff

Ive been here a few times and each time the food is awesome! They have a great selection of bagels and cream cheeses, but thats not all. They have a huge menu for breakfast and lunch items including burgers, sandwichesand salads. The only bad thing I can say is that their coffee is a little on the strong side, but if you like strong coffee like my mom then its a plus!

Honestly, one of the best BLTs I have ever had comes from this place. The amount of bacon is divine, the ratio of bacon to lettuce is perfect, and they toast their bread just the right amount to where you dont cut the roof of your mouth when you bite into it. Ive also had their bagels, and they are amazing, not stale and still fluffy, just what a bagel should be!

This location is my favorite! I always get the same thing and eat outside. In the summer you can smell the horses in the park next door, but luckily the nose is the most forgiving. The food is consistently yummy, and reliably fast to get to the table. There are lots of coffees to choose from and delicious tropical tea. The pastries go quickly.

I have been going to Bagels and Brew since they opened and they have the best bagels in town. I cant go a day without a "the works" bagel. They have coatings on both sides. Their whipped cream cheeses are also delicious and the sandwiches are fantastic. It has a great neighborhood vibe.

Always good food here, but today sucked. Whoever was in charge of cooking/food prep got all four of our orders wrong. Its happened before but this time was worse. Wrong sandwhich, eggs instead of egg whites, soggy bagels. Try harder or start firing people. (7/27/2015 - 2pm)

Wish they had more variety of soups! Butternut squash seems to be the go to. What happened to mushroom barley? Chicken tortilla? They really need to double check orders! And clean better. Love the food just too many mistakes lately. And disappointed in soup choices. Help

This neighborhood-style restaurant is a friendly local eatery you dont want to miss. Best known for breakfast and coffee, their bagel sandwiches and entrees are DELICIOUS and served in no time. While staff are busy running around, they are still well kept. YUM.

BEST BAGELS AROUND......nothing better then walking though the Serrano Park though all the trees with people on horses walking by and birds chirping and ending up at Bagels and Brew for that fresh coffee and delicious breakfast

Awesome place for breakfast! We had the ole bagel sandwich, sunrise bagel sandwich, cinnamon brioche French toast and fiesta omelette with bagel. Everyone loved their food and I would definitely go back if Im ever in the area!
