"This Isla Vista mainstay is beloved by students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, some of whom make special stops in to visit even years after graduating. The menu is filled with imaginative bagel sandwiches, which can be served open-face style as halves or stacked in the traditional form. Classic orders include the Hampton, topped with cream cheese, lox, slivers of red onion, tomato, and lemon pepper; the Eggle Plus, Bagel Cafe’s version of a bacon-egg-and-cheese sandwich; and the International, a do-it-all sandwich with turkey, avocado, pesto, tomato, and Bibb lettuce on diner’s choice of bagel. Wash it all down with an espresso drink, orange juice, or organic lemonade." - Mona Holmes
