Avalon Bagels To Burgers — Restaurant in Yorba Linda

Awesome mom and pop place.

Hubby and I have been wanting a good bagel place since we moved into the area. I actually used to work at a cafe that specialized in making their own bagels, so I've always been a tough critic when it came down to anything breakfast/cafe/bagel related.

Anyways, I'm a Yelp hound: anything that catches my (or hubby's) eye, then we'll try out the place. Totally not disappointed.

When you walk in, bagels are towards your left, cream cheese straight ahead, and cashier area a little to the right. Seating area on the complete right side of the cafe. You can phone in your order ahead of time and pick up at the cashier. All bagels are the same price, and I think they make them throughout the day, as we got some nice, fresh, still-warm ones in the middle of the afternoon before. While you wait, check out the little toy train between the cashier and the seating area that has been running for decades!

We're still trying to get through their entire menu. Haven't been able to get through all of it because some of their menu items are soooo good that we don't want to order anything else (and I tend to be the adventurous one in the relationship...). Some of our faves: super club, super cheeseburger, green chile burger, egg/cheese/ham breakfast melt on bagel, OJ smoothie (one of hubby's faves, as it's very similar to an Orange Julius). I do like their Cobb salad, and we love all of the bagels that has the cheese on top, and hubby likes their everything bagel, which has the poppyseed and sesame seeds.

Service has been excellent. They have the motto that they reserve the right to overserve their customers. With us, they have definitely gone above and beyond to make sure we're satisfied with our order. Never had any issue with any of the staff or any of our orders. And, even if there was a mistake, they fess up to it before we realized, and they do what they can to make it right. I totally respect that.

Parking is fine. In same center as the 24-hour fitness, near Philly's Best and McDonalds.

Awesome. Keep on what you're doing, Avalon!

Do note: they close a little earlier on weekends. The Yorba Linda location closes earlier in general compared to the...

Perfect spot to waste your time and money!

Honestly, Avalon has done and complete 180- what once was a great neighborhood bagel shop has become and constant disappointment.

Orders frequently take an obscene amount of time. Over 30mins to get a few toasted bagels to go. And if you order a smoothie, you get it right away and then have to wait for your order while your smoothie becomes a melted mess.

And once you finally get your order, be sure to check it because more often than not it’s either incorrect or missing something. And be prepared to argue with an employee when you bring it up. They’ve become really aggressive when bringing up their mistakes. Probably because it happens so frequently. I’ve been blamed for not ordering something and then when I bring receipts (literally) they start blaming each other. It’s a real mess. And no apologies to be found anywhere.

This isn’t just based on one bad experience- it’s been a constant decline and now I’m just over it and done with Avalon. The prices keep going up, quality and accuracy go down, and the employees have become pretty terrible to deal with. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good experience. I’ve only been returning because my kids like, but going to have to put my foot down on this one.

I’m tired of overpaying for declining disappointing food. There are a lot of good places in the area. ...

This was the first time to this location from a suggestion since I love bagels. The food was okay, it didn't taste that fresh but it was edible. The employee Mary was very serious and would not accommodate a simple request of putting cream cheese on a bagel breakfast sandwich which was odd because most other places would do that no problem. Customer service goes a long way, so does a smile. They delivered to our table fast but with the wrong bagel i wanted and we confirmed just before paying. I didn't complain because I didn't want to wait for them to create a new one, the bacon was burnt! Not even slightly overcooked but just burnt bacon which is surprising since it looked like it came from a package just like the eggs. I did request a side of cream cheese to put on myself since they would not add it to the bagel breakfast sandwich which took two seconds. The eggs tasted a little rubbery, they were not fresh and seems to be defrosted, warmed up and served under the burnt bacon. The power/energy bagel bar was good with simple strawberry cream cheese though, glad I ordered that since this breakfast...
