Raven Hill Bagels

This place had the best bagels in town. We came in and ordered, and we got our food super fast. We got around five or six bagels, all with different cream cheeses, and breakfast sandwiches. I really liked the sausage, egg, and cheese on a rosemary salt bagel. We also got the garlic pull apart bagel, and that was really good. I highly recommend trying all their bagels and shmears, as well as their coffee. The pistachio latte was really good, and we got a regular latte with almond milk. Service was super fast, place is very dog friendly, and there’s plenty of parking. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and a small store inside.

Plenty of seating available, though parking can get a bit tricky on weekends. They also have an additional space behind the main shop, which adds to the seating. It seems to be a very popular bagel spot—even though it’s not on the main street and sits off to the side, it still draws a crowd. The number of bagel options was almost overwhelming. I tried the rosemary and the jalapeño cheddar—both were very filling, but a bit underwhelming in flavor for me. The lines were long, and I’m not sure it fully lived up to the wait, though the lack of other bagel spots in town probably explains the crowds. The latte, however, was excellent. I’d consider coming back to try a different bagel.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The buttermilk raspberry biscuit OMG!!!! and the spicy Italian on a cheddar jalapeño bagel were both excellent, and even the coffee was on point. Although this place is very popular on Instagram—and after being disappointed by several other hyped spots—we were honestly skeptical about trying it, but it turned out to be a great surprise.

*cue cinematic music, camera pan and zoom in on this bagel* Why? Maybe it’s the end-of-your-life food montage, maybe it’s you blacking out from flavor-induced ecstasy, or maybe you feel so passionate you need to make a dramatic Google review about a singular stuffed bagel. The (not on the menu) stuffed bagel with chive cream cheese leaves nothing to be desired. It’s salty, it’s cheesy, it’s crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and it’s full of flavor. We ordered it as a recommendation from the staff and after bite one, our communication was reduced to chewing and shaking our heads “yes” while staring at the bites we had left with longing in our eyes. All the bagels were tasty and flavorful, the beverages delightful… truly nothing let us down, but that stuffed bagel deserves its own review. Thank you raven hill bagels!

Great place for a breakfast or sandwich! Decent proportions for food that tastes really good along with a friendly staff. I got the pastrami melt and dirty dr pepper, would highly recommend both!

Took about 30 minutes to order and get my food. I enjoyed my lox bagel and the hot honey ham was a good size. Couldn’t finish it all. Does get busy though!

Best bagel I’ve had in California. Counterplus outdoor seating. Lots of dogs around. The Rosemary Sea Salt, toasted with butter is simple, but an absolute dream.

So here I am visiting from NY, right before a giant snow storm. Went inside and there was a long line, surprised how quickly it moved, along with great service. Small town vibe for a small town bagel. Bagels were an experience that I was not expecting to have in the mountains of California. As a proud New Yorker, I approve of these bagels. (P.S. my girlfriend loves their cold brew and it is the best in Idyllwild)

Full warning: we came at 10 on a Friday and they were sold out so make sure to come early! They said 8:30am is a good time. We got the last of two bialy's. Hands down such a great bagel. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Bummed out we went after most were sold out so have to return. The service was fast and friendly. Cute place to meet up with friends and have a coffee or bagel. There's seating outside with only a few places to sit inside. PS it's also a mini general store. We walked so can't comment on parking.

This is a cute little bagel shop in town if you're looking for a quick breakfast you can take on the go. We ordered one rosemary and sea salt, and one onion bagel, toasted with cream cheese, to eat right away, and then one jalapeno cheddar and one garlic bagel packaged for later. You can buy single-serving cream cheeses in the refrigerated case next to the register. These were some of the best bagels I've tried, and the two we had the next morning were just as good as the ones we ate right away, without even toasting.

Delicious fresh bagels! You can choose your bagel and toppings, or a pre selected menu. There is plenty of outdoor seating and it is a super cute spot.

Maybe the best bagel I've had, cute lil shop, friendly young lady , cool little things u can buy too

Finding bagels of this caliber is a rarity in California, let alone a vacation destination like Idyllwild. They are dense and chewy and fresh-as-i'll-get-out, flavors are inspired (though the good ones sell out early). I loved the Turkish delight latte, what an idea and a big success. However, I think the pricing is pretty seriously insane for bagels. It's steep and gouged even beyond what is characteristic for the IDY village - we spent $42 for two bagel sandwiches and one latte. Like, huh? Still, we'll go back, but we'll just get bagels and schmear to keep it less expensive.

I'm impressed! The kitchen is finally finished and they are working on rolling out prepared bagel dishes. They currently have a lox bagel and quite a few schmears. I heard a turkey sandwich is coming this weekend! I tried the LOX BAGEL (half) and wow - I can't say I've ever had a more refreshing bagel than this. A generous glob of cream cheese, soft and easily-biteable lox, juicy sweet tomatoes that would be delicious on their own, just enough capers and a smattering of dill, smooth olive oil, and a friendly lemon on the side. Each element on its own is a treat, but together! The composition! So good! I only wish there was more lemon. Some lemon chunks or a lemon olive oil would really bring it together. Prices remind me of LA. Got the half bagel for $9, and even thought it was half a bagel, the portion was perfect and it filled me up. Whole bagel (open face) is $15 and it's a lot of food. LA prices but you get what you pay for. Absolutely adorable shop and delicious bagels! I will be coming back again and again.

Called "Raven Hill Bagels"... only one type of bagel, only pain cream cheese, and it was cold when I got it... toasted, but somehow cold. Oh, and it was like $7+tax+tip... would not recommend... how do people maintain businesses like this?

The staff was really friendly and my girlfriend really loved the bagels. Place has bunch of outdoor seating area and it also has a really cozy small book store next door to visit which was also nice. Highly recommended!

Came here on the way out from a trip down in idyl-wild and oh how I wish I lived near by so I could eat her all the time! I live in Fontana and my fiancé and I got breakfast here on the way home and WOW was it amazing. The food was amazing the coffee was delicious and the costumer service was amazing the workers were so kind and engaging. The ambiance was also so homey and lovely. I can see why this place has 5 stars.

Stayed in Idyllwild for the weekend and absolutely loved these bagels! Found myself thinking of them all day long... the rosemary and seasalt bagel is absolutely delicious! As its December, they have a holiday speciality menu for drinks, the Dirty Eggnog is also so good! The service is good and the people are nice. Its a cute place!

What a gem (and super cute place) Raven Hill Bagels is! I recently moved to the area (just one town over) and Idyllwild is the closest town where I have access to groceries. It's proved to be a bit challenging with finding high-quality ingredients that I've been used to getting with ease at shops down the mountain. I didn't realize, until I stepped in and gave it a gander, that it was also a small market with an incredible selection of curated items ranging from spices, to cheeses, and even za'atar and tahini which I honestly wasn't expecting to see in town! Looks like I've found my spot for the next time I'm on the hunt for unique ingredients. I opted to buy two bagels - one poppy seed and one everything - and a small packet of cream cheese during my visit. The prices were very reasonable for these high quality and fresh bagels! The staff were kind, welcoming, and open to answering questions I had. What a perfect day it was to sit outside and eat on the beautiful patio! This is definitely a place I look forward to visiting again and trying both the challah and the special bagels they make on Fridays. An absolute 10/10 in my book! I highly recommend Raven Hill Bagels to both locals and visitors alike - you won't be disappointed. Cheers and happy shopping/eating!

The food, service and ambience were perfect! It was a lovely day walking to Raven, we all got bagel breakfast sandwiches. I got the lox and LOOOVED IT! The others all for the Beca (one with avocado) and they all loved it as well. The seasonal peppermint & eggnog lattes were super delish. Also, the Arnold palmers were yummy. The patio is beautiful and wraps around, bigger than it looks and the cute bookstore speakeasy is an added, lovely bones. Highly recommend! Stay lovely, cozy and smiling Raven.

The quality of bagel sandwiches here is amazing. I have so far tried the roast beef and bec (bacon, egg, cheese), and both were great. Their lattes are also very good. Very cute shop, and lots of outdoor seating. The employees are also very friendly, and helped recommend food and drink options.

Wow! Came to Raven Hill Bagels this weekend and let me tell it was amazing. We had the lox and bagel and Cali sandwich both super fresh and delicious. The bagels were so yummy and love they put seasoning on both sides of the everything bagel. It was so good we came back again next day sand got the lox and bagel again and moon over hammy I think it's called. They sell gourmet snacks too and staff were very friendly. I want to come back and try the Dr. Pepper coffee drink they have. I highly recommend you won't be disappointed.

I have been here 3-4 times and tried multiple of their bagels. All great (very big!). My favorite of this place is that they carry special cream cheese (high quality with no other bad added ingredients) and European style butter! I have not tried their coffee and other things on the menu but I would love to some day! The outdoor area is nice to sit at! Very peaceful. The staff is friendly. I almost always buy something there whenever I visit Idyllwild.

Amazing place for coffee and bagel and a beautiful ambiance! Service is great too..............

This place just keeps getting better... go! This former New Yorker can attest the bagels are amazing! The super nice owners and staff value farm-to-table quality ingredients, freshness and service. They now have bagel sandwiches, coffees and lots of gourmet goodies in their market. Menu is growing all the time and you can eat on the deck among the trees. Best new addition to Idy -- go!

I love the bagels, the lox, the coffee, the people, the music. Great bagel shop. Go early as they can run out of popular bagels.

This place is so cute and the owners are lovely. As a local, we really want to support you but your bagels have no flavor. Please consider adding more salt to the dough. Thanks for your consideration.

Best bagels the family has eaten! I recommend the beca. Can't wait to have it again next time we're in town.

Way more than just bagels, which are delicious by the way, but they're baked goods are exceptional. The black-and-white cookies are spot on! Originally from New York, I have not found anything yet to be as authentic! Thank you

Aaaaaamazing bagels!! We opted for the BECA (bacon, egg, cheese and avocado) on a jalapeño cheese bagel. I'm so glad we decided to share. Very generous size! The combo was perfect!! We finished it off with a giant slice of key lime pie which was equally amazing. The Arnold Palmer and cold brew coffee were refreshing! They offer a variety of bagels and beverages and they have a small selection of high end artisan style take home food items. The owners are super welcoming and friendly!! Thanks again for an amazing breakfast!!

Delicious! The staff were friendly and service was quick. I ordered the Cinnamon Sugar bagel with cream cheese and hot honey, my daughter had the Rosemary bagel with scallion cream cheese. Both were good. The texture was great! There was a good balance between chewy and airy. The portion size is good for the price as well. No seating inside, but there are some tables outside that you can eat at.

Sooo very good! Had the cinnamon bagel. Has been our favorite since they opened. Glad to see they are made there now. Coffee is also very good. The BIGGEST AND BEST surprise Challah cinnamon raisin roll muffin thing (husband couldn't remember). Oh my gosh!!! We split it. Next time (tomorrow) I want my own! Go now get one. You'll be happy you did.

Cute spot! More of a grab and go spot but great choice of bagels and other goodies. Not much of a coffee selection yet. Loved my rosemary and sea salt bagel.

The best chewy bagels I have had! So delicious! Great market for meats, cheeses, pastas and sauces too. Lots of yummy bagel sandwiches on the menu now too!

I'm obsessed! This little bagel shop is so worth going to! I got the sea salt thyme bagel and it was so so good. The inside is really cute and they have a little market stocked with local and global grocery items. Definitely check out this gem!

Best bagels around!! The owner is wonderful, great customer service, and the store is curated very well. Great seating areas and interior vibe.

Fresh, delicious bagels! Had the lox and jalapeno cheddar with plain cream cheese. BTW, the cream cheese is perfect! Can't wait to try their sandwhiches next time.

Their bagels might be the best in SoCal. Perfect. I love this place and Idy is so lucky they are there. If you are a visitor its the only solid place for coffee and bagels which are made fresh every day. They don't have donuts or questionable pastries - just goodness.

Wow. I had a great experience this morning, rosemary sea salt bagel and I'm not a bagel person. But it was to die for! I went in twice since I was indecisive the first time I perused in, feeling overexcited about being in this small town with so many cute and appetizing options ... but I'm so glad I turned back around. Both the staff I met at my two visits were warm and welcoming and gave me tips on how to maximize enjoyment in this darling town. Thank you!

The bagels are absolutely fantastic! Gracious hospitality and charming atmosphere! Worth the visit and buy!

These bagels are SO fresh and good. Stopped by after checking out of our Airbnb up the street and it was the perfect Idyllwild send-off. The rosemary one was really yummy -- perfect crunch to it... definitely would recommend! I'm from the east coast, so I know a good bagel and these measured up. They are grab and go for now, and it looks like a coffee bar is in the works. No worries, though -- there's a coffee shop right across the street that was perfect for the time-being. Can't wait to stop back on our next trip.

What a lovely find! The best bagels we have ever eaten. Kristen was so friendly and helpful! We have a new favorite place for a light breakfast!

Fantastic bagels! Cute new little market and very welcoming. We grabbed a half dozen: plain, cinnamon sugar, pepper Jack and rosemary. They were all delicious and filling. The dough! We will definitely be back and can't wait to see how this business grows.

Yummy! I wish they had gluten free! So good I have broken my 10 year no gluten streak at least 3 times! Too good!

Delicious bagels. My wife and I especially liked the rosemary and salt bagel. Don't have fresh roasted coffee yet I believe just Nespresso pods currently), but they are still in the process of opening their kitchen.

Their bagels are soft and don't have much of a crust to them. They're overpriced at $18 for a half-dozen. Excessive packaging is negative environmentally.
