House of Bagels Central Coast

As all the reviews state they are unreasonably slow. Best lox sandwich I’ve had and the mocha was also excellent. But I watched how they all operate like the sloths in zootopia

Horribly slow I do not understand how it takes so long to toast a bagel and put cream cheese on it. The employees are barely working and just stand there talking. There are three people working and only one person doing anything. The only reason this place is still open is because its the only bagel place here.

Literally the slowest service Ive ever experienced. 17 minutes for a plan bagel toasted with cream cheese. Always. It’s terrible

Usually I love this place I go 3 times a week for my breakfast. I was calling in my order today and I kept getting placed on hold and then ignored and my call would get disconnected after 10 minutes of waiting. I would call back and someone would answer and just be breathing into the phone and then hang up. It was so weird! I didn't recognize any of the staff members when I finally went down in person to place my order. I asked where the normal staff was and these 3 ladies were so confused. They seemed so lost. The place wasn't even busy. I used to be in food service and I could have handled that by myself. On top of that when I was in there they took a phone order and I had been calling for 4 hours trying to get through. It was pretty offensive!

Good bagels, extremely slow service consistently. 25 minutes for 1 bagel with cream cheese. Phone often left off the hook or not working so you’re left standing in line waiting. Also noticed most of the egg sandwich stuff is microwaved. Friendly staff, tasty bagels, good selection of bagels, but due to how often I’ve been stuck waiting 20 minutes + I have to give this place a 3 star review.

Great Bagels, can take a log time to get your food. One employee is not very welcoming, she got mad I wanted three bagels toasted without cream cheese. Who would have thought no cream cheese would cause a problem at a bagel shop.

Update... Tried again and same rude people, took 30 min to get 3 bagels toasted. Probably won’t give it a third try. Good bagels but not worth the headache

Great Bagels and variety, sweet local place with character. Bring ALL of your patience because you will need it and if you're in any kind of hurry hit another place. But if you have time and aren't prone to customer-service-related anxiety, fantastic bagels.

The ice coffee was perfect, but unfortunately I couldn’t wait longer than the 20 minutes I had already waited for my bagel and cream cheese, and had to leave before it was ready. With all these great reviews I’ll give it another try when I’m not on a schedule.

The bagels have always been super delicious, they have tasty coffee, as well as other food. The only downside is that their service is really, really slow. Especially if there's a line and you order a sandwich, or something that takes more time than spreading creme cheese around. Aside from that, I'd definitely recommend them if you have the time to wait for food.

Love House of Bagels. Been a local gem for years that's been one constant in a town of changing businesses. Always top notch service, food, prices, and people. Staff are great, know the regulars by name.
Veteran owned. If visiting area this is a MUST any Friday, Saturday, or Sunday morning. Although every day here you can expect a good experience. Nice bit of outdoor seating and close to downtown and the South San Luis Obispo area. Our kids love it too.
