5th Ave Bagelry — Restaurant in Los Alamitos

Having moved from the area many years ago, I visit often each year with family nearby still. I literally have been trying to find a bagel place that matches the quality of these bagels, everywhere I go, including where I live in the Orlando, Florida area.

There are a lot of good bagel places out there, but I don’t know what they do to make these so fresh, soft and chewy in just the perfect way. I have to be honest, I think I actually prefer these to my favorite bagel places in New York City.

My go-to bagels are always poppyseed, or even plain. However, depending on the time of day, they tend to run out a lot. I’m not into “designer” bagels (although they do have crazy things like rainbow, bagels, and blueberry bagels and all sorts of other creative flavors), but since I couldn’t get my first choices, I did decide to try the rye and the asiago cheese bagels. Both excellent!

When I visit, I usually stop by here each morning and get the open face toasted bagel with the sliced nova lox. The cream cheese is light and fluffy, and they are very generous with it.

My only critique, not uncommon to fresh, bakery style goods , is that they run out of the most popular ones too easily. OK, so I have one more critique… These bagels need to be in Florida! 😊

I hate to admit it, but I literally think about these bagels often at home in FL,...

If you are up at 0600 with a hankering for a bagel..this is your place! Although I am a carnivore, I was forced to share the #5 Veggie Deluxe, and it was amazing! My contribution was the choice of bagel, and chose The Works (everything) bagel. This of course was a significant contribution as I am significant as well..and stuff like that! Ask for extra onions, and chopped..the thin fine onion rings tend to pull the tomato and Avacado off the bagel and makes a bit of a mess as it it open face (bit tough to cut through fine thin onions with your teeth). Additionally the ham & cheese croissant would have been better if the croissant was not undercooked. Multiple selections of coffee was nice. Will...

8/30/2025 Stopped in here with a friend to grab some bagels before errands for the day. She grabbed a strawberry banana bagel with strawberry cream cheese. I tried one of their omlete filled bagels. Particularly the Veggie Omlete on a Parmesan spinach bagel. 😍 Delicious! Staff were extremely helpful in choosing off their menu. Dining area was organized and ready for use. Facilities clean and well maintained. Located conveniently near cerrito's mall, will be returning many time! Definitely a 5-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you 5th Ave a Bagelry! Thank you Bau Tran &...
