Spill the Beans Coffee and Bagels

Not impressed. Barely any schmear on my bagel, (though what was in there was tasty). the vanilla schmear was less like schmear and more like canned frosting, it was weird and they didnt toast that bagel for some reason. Lox bagel had odd thick huge chunks of salmon not thin slices like it should… but the worst was the coffee “iced basic sitch” tasted really off and not good at all.

My top stop for a bagel sandwiches. Can't go wrong with a San Dieggo and a BLT for the road.

We were looking for a quick coffee to start our day when we came across this cute spot with outdoor seating. After a few days of mist and fog, the sunny weather in San Diego made it the perfect place to stop. We ordered two hot lattes and couldn’t resist getting a bagel to share. The coffee was good, but the bagel was amazing! They let us choose our bagel, and we went with habanero and cheese—it was a perfect match with eggs and bacon.

Great casual spot to hang out and grab a bagel and coffee. 5.20 for a toasted bagel with cream cheese isn't the worst these days, but I did with it was toasted on the inside as it didn't have much of a crunch to it. My friend ordered the bagel with lox and they said it had a generous amount of lox, and it was very well put together. The serrano jack bagel was really good though despite this because the cheese gave it an extra crunch. I would NOT go here to buy a dozen though as there is basically no bundle pricing and who wants to pay $40 dollars for a dozen bagels? Come on. Look at any other bagel place and tell me why you warrant that pricing. Even DZ Akins, arguably the highest quality bagels in SD, are nowhere near that price for bulk pricing. Your eat-in toasted bagel serving price should not be the same as your bulk pricing to go.

I ordered the chaggachino and frankly it wasn’t anything special. The coffee tasted whatever and it wasn’t as striking as the one I had at Brick and Bell in La Jolla. My friend ordered a green tea latte and was not really fond of it either. She also ordered a bagel sandwich which she said was okay tasting. This place looked better than what we had that day.
