With prices ranging from $2.75 for a normal drink to $11.99 for heartier breakfast burritos—like the Chorizo with Avocado—there's something to satiate every palate and budget.

“ I try to support local businesses when I can. But I hate when places don't have pics of menus posted. I like to make my decision without the pressure of being in line. But I figured what would be so hard about a sausage breakfast bagel with sprouts (if they even have them). Lady rings me up and says 11 something. I'm like "what". She says $11, you ordered it with cheese and sprouts. I don't understand her so she says it again. I'm working so I don't have time to figure it out. But as you can clearly see, cheese is included in the price. So either she doesn't know the menu or I got charged $3 for 3 cents worth of sprouts, which is more than most places charge for adding bacon. Anyways, 4 stars because the food was that good. ”
“ I came here with my family and I just got a cream cheese muffin and a small iced Vietnamese coffee. Muffin was good and dense, which I like in a muffin. Coffee was good but on the sweeter side, however not horrible. Coffee reminded me of Burger King's vanilla iced coffee but I don't think that's a bad thing (i like BK's coffee). Compared to the Vietnamese iced coffee from Acme in Seaside, this one is sweeter. Next time, I will see if I can get it half sweet! Customer service was good and fast. I enjoyed the calm music in the background ”
“ Amazing bagels!! Everything is fresh, great flavor, wonderful staff.............................................................. ”
“ I was really craving a bagel for breakfast when we were in Carmel, and the hotel breakfast was poop, so off we went in search of a bagel! This place popped up and we drove over, and they did have my most favorite, the poppyseed bagel! I ordered 2 so I could have one later in the week too. The young girl behind the counter was super sweet and so nice. I noticed all the ladies working there that morning were cleaning between customers and everything looked absolutely spotless. My bagel and cream cheese hit the spot and was exactly what I wanted! The coffee was strong and delicious too. The place was very bright and decorated really nicely. ”
“ Whenever I'm working in Big sur I stop on Rio rd for some gas. Even if I'm running late, I make time to stop for some bagels to give the crew. There's a big parking lot so you won't have an issue getting in and out of this place especially with the fast service. There's usually a line of blue collar workers, students and soccer moms alike. I've tried a few pastries and savory dishes as well. The chicken bake is always a safe bet if you don't want to eat too much. When they warm it up for you, it's always pretty hot in the first few bites but kinda cold in the middle still. I don't care too much to neg but it's something to he aware of. I also got the pig in a blanket, I forgot the name they use for it but it was good. A different type of sausage that I'm not super familiar with, not the best but I don't mind. The pastry that it's wrapped in is second to none. Throw some mustard on that bad boy and you're ready to take on the world. The bagels are really good too. I haven't tried one that I didn't agree with. Ambiance is simple and laid back for those that really just order and take off. Not sure if it's classified as a donut shop but that's pretty much the setting inside. ”
“ The Bagel Bakery has been a staple of my youth. It was so yummy back in day while growing up in Carmel. Although The Bagel Bakery has changed ownership so many times over the years, some good, some bad, I think they finally found the right ones. The bagels are once again soft and yummy. My only complaint (hence 4 stars instead of 5) is they put so much cream cheese. To be honest, it's just way too much. I mean, you could've frosted a cake with all of the cream cheese that was on my bagel. All of that cream cheese overpowered the taste of my cinnamon raisin bagel. Lesson learned, next time I am in town, I will ask for my cream cheese on the side. The restaurant is clean, and the service is fast and friendly. ”
