Townie Bagels | Bakery | Cafe

Thank god for Townie. Been huge fans since it opened. Was the first great bagel to Palm Springs. (And still the best)

During COVID their delivery was the treat of the week. 😀

Love their breads, all the breakfast items, and of course their bagels!! Look forward to trying their apple pie (in the photo - all I have to say is it is super heavy - seems promising!)

Staff is always great. Cute outdoor space to sit and enjoy.

A “must do” for one of your breakfast stops in Palm Springs. Very local flavor you will love.

Best bagels in Palm Springs!
This place is busy almost every day with both locals and tourists.
They always have an amazing selection of fresh bagels and all of the fixings,
We like getting their breakfast bagel sandwiches, too.
Service is usually pretty fast, but on busy days there may be a line.
Prices are very reasonable.
Indoor and outdoor seating are available.

Everybody already knows how good this place is because people line up for it! We got there just in time, there were so many bagel flavor options. I went with their namesake Townie Sandwich with a couple of add ons. The staff was super friendly, like I literally want to be friends with the guy that took my order. But I'm only here on a trip, so I won't be weird. These folks are doing bagels right. Worth the line, definitely recommend making it at least once.

Everyone needs a Bagel sometimes and if you are a Townie or a Out-of-townie this is a great spot for a bite. We enjoyed the Sunny Dunes on a Everything with a cup of coldbrew to start our day. Great vibe but be prepared for a small line in the Sun on the weekends.

Good vibes, better bagels. Tasty bagel and homemade cream cheese flavors. Build your own bagel brekkie sammy with every topping anyone could want. Service with a smile. Making Townie a must-stop whenever I’m in town.

I’m very confused. In May 2021 (see pic) the everything bagel and black Russian were ***amazing***. Tons of toppings. Perfectly chewy. I went today and both were very sparse. The everything had nearly no seasoning on top, and the black Russian was only marginally better. I didn’t snap a pic, unfortunately.

Was this business sold, or was there a big staff turnover?

The perfect ratio of cream cheese! The line goes by quickly and the staff is great. It’s a clean local spot, and get in early before they sell out.

Meh.

Line out the door is generally a good sign of a spot to check out. Pretty disappointed in this case.

Ordered a bacon/egg/cheese bagel sandwich but was told they had no bacon. Okay… went with sausage instead. They seemed to just slap on pre-cooked eggs and a gross sausage patty between a bagel sitting in a rack without heating or toasting it at all.

When I asked for my cappuccino to be made “flat white” style, low on the foam, the person behind the counter said with attitude “we really don’t do that here, but we’ll make an exception just this once.”

Huh, really? For a $5 coffee?

They were also out of apple juice.

Unimpressed.

First visit to Townies. Modest line to get in. Service was fast and the line moved quickly. Townies offered a good variety of bagels, such as cinnamon raisin, onion, french toast, jalapeno, in addition to plain and others. Their method of boiling then baking the bagels produced a nice bite and chew experience.
They offer more than bagels and sandwiches e.g., bread loaves, savory scones. The regular brewed coffee was nice, not bitter or weak.
Small inside and outside dining areas. This place is an obvious favorite local shop. Be warned though, they close at noon or when the bagels sell out.

Just exceptional quality bagels and great vegan options like vegan cream cheese and delicious vegan lox made from cured carrots. Awesome team, always smiling, always cheery. Definite stop on a trip to Palm Springs but get there early as queue can be long after 9am.
