The Bagel Shack

I love this place! Whenever I am in San Clemente and stop by and get their cinnamon crunch bagel. Its sweet like a cinnamon donut but less unhealthy (hopefully). =/

The only annoying part is that parking is tight. The Bagel Shack's parking lot is small and sometimes street parking can be difficult to find. However, the smallness of the place is part of its charm. It really fits in with the beach culture of the surrounding area.

These are great bagels.  They are unconventional, if you are used to NYC bagels, but some of the best I've found in my roamings about the country.  My wife says they are on par with Pick-a-bagel, but different.  Very fresh and tasty.

I have been coming to bagel shack for years, I hadn't been in a while, finally went a again and realized how AMAZING it is.  I love the cheddar cheese bagel and the "Old Mans" is a must have.  I sometimes like to switch it up with some jalepeno cream cheese!  Definitely a local spot, there are two other bagel shack locations which i believe are the same owners.  Great place!
