Clearwater Bagel Company

This was my favorite place for breakfast when I was going to Mt Sac. I love their bagel sandwiches and the orange juice here. I remember I was just scared to eat inside sometimes cause there would usually be a few bees inside at the windowsill for some reason every time I went (and I’ve been here like 15 times during my one year of living in walnut). We usually make a detour when me and my bf are going to Disneyland and stop here and I think there is new management but the bagels and juice were still the same as I remember it. My boyfriend really likes it here too and he stops by when he’s passing by on work days. The service is lacking and sometimes it takes a little while for the person working behind the counter to acknowledge you but otherwise than that I had a good experience with this place

I love coming here when I have breaks in between classes! They have a lot of stuff on their menu and they’re all pretty good. My favorite bagels are the sun-​dried tomato and spinach parmesan! I usually get it not toasted since you can really taste the cream cheese a lot better than if you do get it toasted.
The owners are really sweet too! The lady remembered me even though I haven’t been there for almost a year (dieting lol) but she gave me a Snickers and told me to come study there if I ever needed a place to study lol how cute
I definitely recommend coming here, especially if you need a quick breakfast or lunch.

2 stars for THE worst cream cheese I’ve ever had. Bagel wasn’t that fresh. Everything tasted over-​processed and chemical-​like.

Best Mom and Pop Bagel joint! Absolutely delicious and not expensive. Service is good and owner is real humble and kind. I definitely recommend it.

the best bagels & best OJ ever!!! their bagels are freshly made and delicious!

Love this place, small little business, the man and woman that work there are just the nicest. A lot of different bagels, but in a simple guy; whole wheat bagel with cheese and egg. Nothing too fancy but the experience and great customer service put this place high on my list.

Order a chocolate bagel with cream cheese and a parmesan spinach bagel with cheese and sausage and it was heavenly. It was 8 in the morning, I’m hungry and tired and this place wrote me up. Good food and service.

To begin, I’m not really a person that’s big on bagels because they come off to me as flavorless, thick bread items, but my perception drastically changed after eating here. The bagel I ordered was the classic bagel, which was a flavorful bagel that left me surprised at how powerful bagels could be. While I was ordering, I wasn’t sure what type of bagel to order with the Classic Bagel and the guy working there was extremely helpful at choosing and recommended some bagels the Classic Bagel would go well with. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would visit again.

I never been to a restaurant where the owner watch you like a hawk. He never provided a sleeve for coffee cups so I had to grab another cup for the coffee. All of sudden the owner scolded at me about his cost and busted out a sleeve from behind the counter. The worst part is we helped him move a PATIO table and chairs outside. When we were leaving, the owner had to nerve to say «can you guys move the chairs and table back. Someone will take it!» I can’t believe a business owners could treat customers like they’re his workers!

Best bagels ever! I from walnut and every time I’m back visiting I make sure I come here at least once for a sundried tomato basil bagel with cream cheese, toasted. Mouthwatering and delicious!
Their sandwiches are also very good! I love that it’s just a small ma and pa shop.

Everything is just delicious.
I completely just go nuts for his bagels.
The ham and cheese with egg and a drink is a great steal for 4.95!!!
Absolutely awesome

I can’t think of another mom and pop joint (in walnut) where you can get cheap coffee and great home made bagels for five bucks. If you order a specialty item, you can see the owner prepping it with love behind the counter!
Good, humble service, great bagels, and great environment at a great price.
PS you can’t go wrong with the pizza or lemon pepper on a jalapeño bagel.

I love this bagel shop! Everything is so fresh and soooo good! The owners are super nice too. I will definitely be coming back here (;

I love their bagel sandwiches and their rosemary olive oil bagels. I’m writing this review because the female owner is awesome. I walked in and I had some allergies and she was immediately concerned. She asked me what allergy medicine I normally take and she ran into the back and got me some! That was awesome customer service. I didn’t actually need it but I am in awe of the genuine care and concern. Amazing!

My favorite bagel place out of the ones near my house.
If I were to rate it just based off of their bagels, they would most definitely get 5 stars… the only reason why I gave it a 4 star rating is because the kind older man who runs the place never opens up on the time it says on the door. He normally opens up an hour or so later.
They sell out of their sourdough bagels quite fast so if that is what you are seeking, get their early. If not, you’re in luck, there is an array of yummy bagel goodness to choose from.
The homemade cream cheese they make is amazing and it comes in the original cream cheese flavor, strawberry, and nova salmon (my favorite out of the three)
The gentleman who owns the business is very sweet and he basically knows my order by heart. If you come enough he breaks out of this reserved shell of his and is open to small talk and it’s nice, especially when you’re like me and are a little crabby in the morning.
It is just minutes away from Mt. SAC so it is easy to stop by before or after class. I will definitely keep coming back here.

I’m enjoying a good breakfast here today. The food was prepared fresh and fast. Eating here is a good start to your day. The orange juice is awesome. In a few words this place is Clean, fair in price, fresh, and fast I’ll be coming more often.

They’re bagel sandwiches are so good !! First timer, I ordered a Americano and I didn’t know which bagel to get so the owner suggested Rosemary ! After trying… I loved it so much !! I will come back again to eat more and try other sandwiches as well ! So good ! Also the owners there are really nice and friendly ! I love it :)

Homey mom-​and-​pop bagel place.
Got the bagel with strawberry cream cheese and an iced tea. Owner filled the iced tea for me and later, when she saw I had finished it, went and refilled it for me.
My mom got the california club and liked it a lot. Artfully arranged.
They do have a large selection of bagels. I’m not a big bagel person but it’s nice to snack on one sometimes.
*cons: super super super slow service (only two people working I think) plus their unsweetened iced tea is flavored, not plain, which I think should be noted.

One star is because the parking was easy to access but Umm maybe I should’ve just made it at home. I Ordered a coffee and then when I went to fill up my cup in the push containers they have it was empty and the lady said the French roast and vanilla are just the same ended up waiting 10 – 15 min for a fresh cup of regular coffee. It was around 11:30 am and I’m sure they had a rush in the morning but overall was very disappointed. I had a open faced jalapeño bagel with cream cheese lemon pepper and avocado. You can check out the pic I posted.

I’ve been going to this place since I was four. There have been a bunch of different owners but the recipe is always the same. Some bagels change but overall is the same. Currently there is an Asian couple that own it. The man is pretty quiet but super nice. His wife is a sweet heart. She’ll put a smile on your face in the morning.
The bagels are delicious. The cream cheese is the best I’ve ever had. I usually get the breakfast sandwich. Man those things can keep me full for half a day.
This place is without a doubt the best bagel place in the world. I would slap someone if they told me otherwise. I would come here everyday if I didn’t care about how many carbs I ate lol. You should go to Clearwater Bagel if you love bagels or just like good food!
