This is my first time back in over a decade (moved away then back again) and they are even better than I remember. The service is phenomenal and the prices are reasonable.
Nice and plump (making the hole semi-closed) ♡ like NY fresh bagels except a tiny bit smaller in overall diameter of the whole bagel. Got here 2min to closing & it was too late, but they were kind enough to let me in and checkout the bagels ...
My favorite bagel spot in OC! JT’s bagels is the best. Everything is so fresh and they really pack on the cream cheese (I always ask for extra). If you like your bagels more toasty definitely ask for that, they tend to toast them on the light side but I like a bit of crunch to mine. Just personal preference. I also highly recommend their bagel sandwiches. I create my own with the jalapeño bagel, bacon, cheese and Mayo. It’s the perfect pairing! I’ll usually add on a dash of tobacco sauce when I get home. Their Asiago cheese, jalapeño and cheddar everything are my top picks for bagel flavors. Service is usually super quick too! There was only one time they were really backed up with orders. Just depends on what time you go. Definitely worth the wait though! 5 stars for delicious bagels and great customer service!
Bagel's are fresh have many options. They are a little smaller than typical. Place is very clean, and seems to be quite busy. They owner needs to learn a thing or two about management. Humans make mistakes, but to take it you on an employee in front of customers is beyond acceptable. Witnessed this on Sunday morning over a phone order not completed before the customer showed up. He got busy and forget, make it up, offer the customer a free item, than talk to the employee in the back office, not in front of customers. Bagels are not good enough for me to support this owners business. You do not pay them good enough to take disrespect like that. Parking: plenty of parking.
DO NOT ORDER ONLINE. Any special instructions you state (ex. less cream cheese, no capers, etc.) are consistently ignored - this is likely poor implementation to their ticketing system and not workers' fault. Something is usually wrong with my order - this last time they didn't even toast my bagel & I didn't realize til I had left & was eating my meal. As for their bagels... they're completely average & pretty positive they sell day-old bagels based on the firmness/staleness of my recent order not being toasted.
Stopped on the way home and let me say, salt bagels are my new favorite. JT’s bagels are fresh and tasty. Got mine in a sandwich and I wanted seconds it was so good. Priced right and fast service too
Awesome salt bagels and halapeño cream cheese!! So good
