Holy dradle, it's time for bagels! (and donuts, croissants & sandwiches, too)
Cassidy's Corner Cafe, conveniently located adjacent to the 605 freeway, on the border of Lakewood & Cerritos. Just a stone's throw away from where I live, I was feenin for some carb goodness & decided to stop by to see what Cassidy's has going on.
Bagels, donuts & croissants in various flavors greet customers when they walk in.
Fresh brewed coffee available for a caffeine boost.
Cassidy's currently has a special - $6 for a Red Velvet bagel with sweet butter cream cheese & an iced 4-2-1 coffee.
The Red Velvet bagel was soft & chewy on the inside, with a dense outer crust. The sweet butter cream cheese was silky smooth. Quite filling & very flavorful! ($1.25 individually, w/o cream cheese)
The iced 4-2-1 coffee is 4 parts double-brewed orange coffee, 2 parts half & half and 1 part vanilla syrup. Not bitter at all, this was a great cold drink that didn't hurt the tummy like how other strong coffees can. The notes of orange paired well with the half & half, along with the shot of vanilla.
I was allowed to sample some of their various cream cheeses - jalapeno, garden & strawberry. If those don't pique your interest, Cassidy's also offers "Creative Cream Cheeses", where customers customize their very own cream cheese, with ingredients such as Oreos & almonds!
Having families in mind, the bagel shop has a kids zone on the right. "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" was playing for customer's enjoyment (Yes, that's my truck in the background)
Service was good. The employee kindly answered questions I had & quickly prepared my order, toasting my bagel & mixing my iced 4-2-1. Seating is sufficient, with some tables to dine al fresco. Parking is in private lot shared by 7-11.
Cassidy's, you're now my local spot when I'm hunting for a bagel. Before arriving, I was flip-flopping between ordering a Red Velvet or Lox bagel, but when I saw the Yelp special, the Red Velvet tractor beam sucked me right in SWWHOOOOOOPP. The Lox will have to wait for next time ;p
Highly recommend!
