Shirley's Bagels - Laguna Beach, California

Jeffrey M.

My wife and I spent nine wonderful days in Laguna Beach, and during our stay, this spot quickly became our go-to breakfast destination. We ended up visiting five times, and each visit was as delightful as the first. The consistent quality and delicious offerings kept us coming back.

My personal favorite was the asiago jalapeno bagel with regular cream cheese. The combination of the spicy jalapeno and the rich asiago cheese was perfectly balanced, and the fresh, creamy texture of the cream cheese complemented it beautifully. Each bite was a perfect start to the day.

The friendly staff also added to the positive experience. They were always welcoming and efficient, making sure our orders were prepared just right. The warm atmosphere and fantastic bagels made this breakfast spot an integral part of our Laguna Beach vacation.

It’s an average bagel place. Went there for the first time this weekend. It can get busy. When it gets busy I feel they cut corners, I asked for my bagel to be toasted but it was not. The prices are okay as well. They do not compare to NY bagels for sure. As soon as I opened the wrap the bagel fall apart. Very average bagel place.

I always love going here, the food is always spot on, and the people recognize their regulars and are always welcoming with friendly smiles.

My favorite thing to get is the everything bagle spread, I add avocado and smoked salmon to mine, and their smoothies are always refreshing and consistently satisfying.

They are so generous with their proportion and even with the sour cream. It's a little expensive (although, reasonably priced considering the location and the quality of the food), but is always worth it with every bite.

This location will always hold a special spot in my heart, be sure to stop by and give them a chance!

Great bagels a short walk from the beach. Had a ABC on jalapeno cheese bagel. Delicious!

First time here and I love it! If you like bagels you must try them here! Probably my new favorite spot. Specially because of the location. You can grab your bagles to go and find a spot on the beach or with a view of the beach and eat them while you enjoy the sound of the waves and the tranquility of the ocean. (Grab a book and read after, while you are out there 😉)
No restroom inside the restaurant and no indoor seating available right now but there are three tables outside and a bench close by to eat there if you like. (Again just take it to go and have it by the beach) parking was available but I can see it being tough to find one during lunch time so beat the rush.
Many bagels to choose from but of course I went with the jalapeño cheese. We ordered the California bagel, it gives you a choice of meat and .....you guessed it, I picked bacon. We asked to add Chipotle and it was delicious 😋 staff was friendly and helpful. Great service. And everything is well organized in case you want to order ahead and just pick up your order quickly and take it to go.
Indoor is open for seating and some tables for two are available outside

The service is great, but the pizza bagel wasn’t the best. Felt as though most the bagel was cheese and the bagel was hard. I hope to return and get a plane bagel to compare next time.

So disappointed - read the reviews, so planned to visit after a long bike ride. Ordered the Egg White Veggie; opened the wrapping and it was basically oil and a big mess of greasy veg. Couldn’t eat it, threw it away.

My favorite Bagel spot! Been coming here forever. Perfect place to grab a bagel and take it to main beach to sit and enjoy breakfast. I always get the CTA Deluxe open face or Californian sandwich. This is a chain now, but Laguna Beach one is best IMO.
