Spill the Beans Coffee and Bagels

Delicious bagels with robust flavors and the perfect mix of chewy and crispy! Had the San Diego breakfast sandwich on a Serrano pepper bagel, and then the white truffle cream cheese on a sun dried tomato bagel and both were delicious. I would definitely be back to try more of the unique cream cheese flavors! The inside looks small but there is overflow seating into the bar next door!

Visiting San Diego for a conference and the breakfast bagel here has been the perfect way to start my days! Absolutely the most delicious and messy bagel sandwich I’ve ever had!

My ice coffee was good, but not good enough to wait in a long line for. As, I was staying by a hotel nearby and often saw a long line going out the door. However, the service was excellent, prices fair, and the place itself seems inviting. Cannot speak on the bagels, but they did look appetizing.

Delicious food and coffee, relatively fast service, nice atmosphere. The sundried tomato bagel was great. Vegan options available, I had the chia pudding which was great.

We stopped by Spill the Beans for breakfast while exploring the Gaslamp District. The spot is easy to find with a bright exterior and plenty of open outdoor seating — perfect for a relaxed morning. Even though there was a line, it moved quickly, and the staff were friendly and efficient. I ordered the San Diego bagel sandwich and a cold brew. The flavor was great, but the bagel itself could have been a bit fluffier and more toasted for that perfect bite. The ambiance was pleasant with music at a comfortable level, though the sound from the bar next door sometimes spills over, especially if there’s a game on. Food: 4/5 – Great taste, slightly dense bagel. Ambiance: 4/5 – Nice vibe but a bit noisy. Service: 5/5 – Fast and friendly. Overall, a great spot to grab coffee and breakfast before starting your day in downtown San Diego.
