Customer Reviews

for a restaurant called happy bagels and donuts, the man at the front counter did not seem very happy. he took everyone?s orders with an annoyed tone and no positive vibes. the bagels themselves were pretty good, slightly overdone but the flavor was great. we also got a thai tea which was delicious. overall, would recommend the staff to get a better attitude to match the vibes of their food and shop!

Thai iced tea made fresh, was ridiculously good. The bagel sandwich with apple bacon and turkey was water savoring, great for my quick lunch. 5 stars

Breakfast bagels ?? are so good! And they have specialty donuts ?? one of my favorites is the PB&J donut. Coffee is good. Service is good all around.

I went today, after living in Downey for 7 years, to this place for the very first time. It had plenty of customers. I went in for a bagel and walked out with a Banh Mi. It looked so clean and organized! Very impressed and will return continuously. The sandwich was amazing and now I can go here for my Vietnamese coffee. I found a gem today!

Was my first time here was really excited to try the bagels I was almost finished with it when I realized a hair!! I immediately got an upset stomach my sister couldn?t even finish her bagel anymore. I told the man in the front about it and said let me take a look thank you for letting me know couldn?t even say here a donut on us or simply sorry! I won?t be going back.

Some of the best bagel sandwiches in all of SoCal imo. Damn good glaze donuts too. Can be a bit of a wait if they are busy. It's a small 2 person ma & pa op shop. However great food for those who wait. If in a rush, order it online and pick up works great too. I keep wanting to try other menu items but fail successfully because I want them bagels sandwitchies once I'm there.

One of the best little bagel shops ever and it's local. They have everything from donuts to breakfast sandwiches, and even Viatnamese style sandwiches! And they're really good too! The 2 ladies who are there in the morning are always super sweet and they always toss a few donut holes in my sandwich bag which is like the icing on the cake.

Very cute little bakery/donut shop in Downey. I went for the banh mi out of curiosity. They included donut holes in my order for the wait (not necessary, but so thoughtful of them!) The banh mi was pretty great and I definitely want to come back to try their other items! I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the mood for donuts or a sandwich!

Good bagels but not worth 35 min wait For 2 simple bagels. 1 person on the register, and 1 person preparing food. Unacceptable. Been here before , gave them benefit of the doubt. 6 months later it's gotten worse. They need to hire help!

ordered a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and I was disappointed when I found avocado in my blueberry bagel. this combo makes no sense because it?s not what I ordered ? I don?t understand

I?ve been here twice now. The first time I came in there was a long wait (which is completely understandable for a Saturday morning) but I got my food in a reasonable time. They did however forget to add the donut that I paid for which was frustrating and I also had to wait an additional 10 minutes to get a receipt. I ordered an avocado toast bagel with lox and it was tasty, albeit high priced. I wanted to give this place another try and this time I brought a friend. I ordered a bagel with smoked salmon an

First off anyone that has given this place less than 5 stars must have been an entitled "Karen". My standards are Brooklyn NYC, and I've tried all the hipster and wannabe bagel shops around LA. This is the closest I've had to a legit bagel in New York. The owner/manager running the shop was friendly and they provided excellent service. If you're anywhere near Downey, get any bagel with the garlic and herb spread and experience the big smile of enjoyment I did. Call it nostalgia of being in NY as a kid, but

I love coming here on my mornings to work! I love that they have online order which makes it very efficient to order and pick up. Their items are really good! Love their beet & orange juice!! Always really nice and friendly service! Thank you for the free donut! ??

$9 for a small horchata coffe. Highway robbery

I love the jalape?o bagel with cream cheese and the Ube latte. I suggest ordering online if you don?t want to wait for your bagels or ham and cheese croissant

This review is long overdue. I have been living in Downey for the majority of my life and I always pass by the plaza where this shop is located but I only found out about it through someone. Best bagels & coffee in town. They are always working hard! I?d rather support this small business than a franchise. I love the dalgona & viatnemese iced coffee & I also love how they added specialty donuts. The nutella strawberry is my favorite.try the lox bagel when you can !! It surprised me.Also they recently added

The breakfast bagels and croissants here are delicious! So are their donuts! Update: their sandwiches are delicious too! I cannot recommend this place enough.

I hate leaving good reviews because it means my favorite places will be harder to get into but this place is so fast. Wait no, let me start by telling you that my mindset on bagels is getting something tastey and not too filling . I pair it with their orange juice . I always have to get an extra from keeping my partner from drinking mine. Apart from that donuts are ok.

I would give this place a million stars if I could!! I have been coming here for over a year now, and I still drop by from time to time even after moving farther away. Their food is always delicious, the people here are the sweetest, and they always give us a free treat when we order. Everyone we bring here has fallen in love with the food, rightfully so. The donuts are the perfect sweetness, the bagels are perfectly made, and they have an extensive menu; everything about this place is chef's kiss!

Came here for the first time and liked the bagel sandwich and matcha tea. The women in the register and food prep area were friendly and nice. However, the male Asian (I think he was the owner) staff was very rude and unprofessional after getting my drink order mixed up and blamed me for it. Overall, good food but bad service.

I placed an order online for pickup and drove quite a distance to pickup food & coffee for myself and 4 friends. My order got cancelled when I was almost at the shop after driving 20 minutes out of my way. Don't do online orders you will just waste your time. Probably best to just order from another place. For a first time customer this was a very disappointing experience.

Ordered on Uber eats. Got the croissant breakfast sandwich OMG 10/10 and a orange and beet juice also 10/10 so fresh so good will order again ????

I absolutely love this place! I?ve ordered delivery and pick up and every time the food is delicious. The staff was very friendly and I plan to continue coming here for quick bites/donuts/drinks. Definitely worth the little drive for me (2-3 miles)

Great sandwiches. Long wait times. Looks like there's only 2 employees handling everything.

We found this place randomly and instantly loved it... bagels are amazing - fresh/soft/flavorful, super cute shop, GREAT SERVICE (I asked for salt packets and they didn't have any but brought salt from the kitchen which I didn't even end up needing cause my bagel was perfect!). Definitely will be coming back!

This is the best Donut place ever !!! I usually get a Ham sandwich with extra avocado , and extra jalape?o . No toasted , and no onion . And on the side I get a pineapple and Green apple juice ? the best combination . If I could give more star I would !!!! Deserves 100 ??. Thank you Don , Don?s Wife and Marysol? You guys are the best! ??

This is mine and my wife's breakfast spot!!! Bagel sandwiches are the best... Highly recommended this place... Recently tried the lunch sandwiches and they are just as good as the breakfast bagel sandwiches... This place has not let us down so far... oh yea and the ice coffee is the best!!!

This place is great...loved the sandwiches and man the donuts were so delicious. I never liked apple fritters but this one was so good I had to have my husband take me back for another one. Keep in mind I never cared for them but this one was really good.

If you haven?t come to this please, you are missing out the delicious bagels ?? their breakfasts sandwiches are my favorite, we always come here, donuts omg they are so bomb, only donuts my stomach can handle.. plus the service here is just so friendly. And food is made with so much love. Thank you ??

This person was very rube as we were still looking at menu, he put ice in my orange juice then wanted to charge me just to take the ice out that I never ask for. He also did not have a spoon so I can do it my self, Also for coffee he charges for the cup and milk, aside from the coffee it self. No refunds $6.50 for a small orange juice, your better off going to portos bakery in downey.

I really like this place, i lived here for 20 years. I'm so happy for places like these. Super friendly people. I just read a bad review...wow!!!!! Talk about slander. This the first review I ever give. I felt I had to. Many of my friends are customers and we all agree. Keep on doing a great job.

I love this place! I always get it off Postmates and it?s so good and such big portion at such a great price! They also have such a great variety from breakfast sandwiches to an amazing BBQ pork Bahn Mi! This place is always such a treat!

We keep on coming back for the Vietnamese coffee! One of the best in town! ??

There's Doughnut shops on every corner, but they all need to visit this place to learn what "being friendly" is all about, and what it can do for their business. They always treat you to a little surprise in your bag, even if you only buy 1 doughnut. They also welcome regulars to stay and visit with friends as long as they want. It's clean and their pastries are very-very inviting.

Really good food their bagels are good and delicious donuts

The cappino there is the best idk what they put in there but it was the best cappino i ever had not gonna lie. The donuts there are good. Ive been there in 8th grade me an my brother mom. Before school started we would go there and its always warm I want to stay inside but I had to go cuz shes think i would be late to school lol I was cold outside they have nice dinning area theyve updated it honestly it looks better.also the prices are fairly good.

This place is delicious! Great breakfast bagels! Get the jalape?o and avocado addition to your egg, cheese, and bacon bagel. It's delicious and the bacon is perfect! And they are very inexpensive. Try them out!

We go almost every week and the service and food is always awesome! Love the bagels and also little freebie donuts with our order.

The prices and food were unbeatable. Friendly service and they gave us free donut holes. The menu is extensive. Loved this place!

Five stars because the bagel and lox toast sandwich was made perfectly toasted and flavorful, but just a bit salty. I?m not sure if it?s the capers but I?ve had capers before that was not too salty. And I cannot have it without capers. Lol

They are so sweet and caring. I work near there and go get food for my lunch. Their sandwiches are so good! Sometimes they even give me a free donut. Support your small businesses!

This place is so nice. The drinks and food are both amazing, but what really stands out is the customer service and atmosphere. Absolutely loved it, will be returning.

I don?t review restaurants typically but I found this place on accident driving from LA to OC and it?s by far my favorite bagel place. The owners are very sweet and the bagels are out of this world.

Great place with a very exotic menu.Many different things to choose from 2 eat.We'll be back for more

I've passed this place several times before I decided to stop in. Im a 3 min drive away ...the shops has friendly workers and there donuts and bagels and croissants are delicious and daily made. I highly recommend this donut shop you won't be disappointed.

Happy Bagel and Donuts has BAD SERVICE. I went there a couple times to buy donuts from them. They gave short changes. When I asked for the correct change, the owner, John, gave me a mad dog faces and started to agrue with me. That's not the only time. Their donuts are really really bad. it's hard and doughy maybe it's not cook, no taste, and VERY VERY OIL. They call themselves a bagel shop. HAHAAHAA The Bagels are bad also. Coffee tasted like urine. Do not try their sandwiches and breakfast foods ju

I am a regular at this Bagels, Donuts and Croissant place - sandwiches are freshly prepared and the staff is friendly and courteous

This place was great thank you

Bagel was delicious and savory! Donuts tasted awesome and were soft. The price is the only thing better than the food! Great service, food, and low prices!

They never have decaf coffee

The best donuts in the area period. Dunkin or Randy's don't come close in taste and flavor. Prices are reasonable also. This is my opinion.

Nice little place. People are so nice and food is so good. We love coming here. Definitely recommend to everyone wanting to try breakfast or other food.

WOW the bbq pork banh mi is incredible!! The pork is marinated and grilled to perfection, and the picked veggies are super fresh and tangy. Yum!!!

Really friendly and quick service, delicious food. Prices are fair and not expensive! Love it!

excellent place, I would give it 5 stars however sometimes food prepares them well and sometimes not, you need to return to the attention that was before or many customers will lose, however some things are still delicious.

Couldn?t be any happier! The bagels were amazingly good! Along with my smoothie. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!!!! I will be back! (:

Waited 20 minutes for two cream cheese bagels. The donuts are terrible, the bagels are decent but nothing to write home about. Wont be coming back

Very friendly service, extra courteous staff. Donuts are very good, nice and soft, and the croissants are just perfect. Great prices, too!

I always come here for their grilled pork sandwiches. Their breakfast sandwiches are also delicious. Friendly staff. Good local find ??

Call in my order every time and the staff is very friendly. The coffee is average. Jack is just trying to take business away...no roaches no flies- they would not be in business!

Tried two breakfast sandwiches and two coffee drinks and everything was delicious and fresh. Very friendly service, I?ll definitely be back!
