I reeeallly wanted to like this place. I love nothing more than spending time in a locally owned coffee shop and I adore little bakeries. And this place is a quick easy bike ride away. But it just wasn’t good :(I LOVE bagels and it’s been so long since I’ve had one!! I ordered the French toast bagel with the seasonal pumpkin spice cream cheese and a small regular coffee.The bagel itself was small, hard and burned on the outside. It’s possible that the burn happened when they were toasting it? The bagel tasted vaguely like onion. Maybe but had been sitting on top of onion bagels at some point or picked up that flavor in the toaster? Other than that, it didn’t really have a flavor of its own, which was disappointing. Just mildly sweet with burn onion taste. Pretty gross.Other than that it was a dry bagel without that great doughy chew or classic bagel skin it’s supposed to have. Not good. More like boring hard dry bread. And, this is a small thing, but also annoying - the cream cheese wasn’t spread on bagel. Most of it was coming out the hole - as in the cream cheese was just plopped in the middle and then sandwiched down. If you’re a bagel shop, spread the cream cheese with a little care… actually spread it on the bagel.The coffee also wasn’t good. It was overly strong and kinda sour. Like it had been sitting in that carafe dispenser for a while…All in all my disappointing bagel with cream cheese and small coffee was $8…!And the vibe in this place wasn’t very welcoming either. It looks cute in the photos, but inside it doesn’t feel great. Not a place you want to sit and spend much time.I’m disappointed because if this had been a good bagel and a nice experience, I probably would have been there every day.

Slow team but great bagels, some of the best I’ve had this far from New York. Sells out by noon with popular flavors gone well before (last everything bagel went at 9:55am when I was there). This would be five stars except for the high acid coffee and the super slow kitchen. Not sure which step in the process is so slow but they are probably 3-5x slower to slice, toast, and spread cream cheese on a bagel then any other place I’ve been too.Parking lot and free street parking. Accessible but crowded. Restroom (all genders).

Delicious fresh made bagels. Only place left in Coachella valley

Very good 🥯 bagels generous with the cream cheese 🧀 must try when in palm desert! 🌴 line can be long so be early or maybe later😆

Always a local favorite. Its a neighborhood right of passage.If you take a breakfast meeting at Townie?! You are either getting dropped off at Betty Ford or signing a 2 picture deal with your agent.

My experience at Townie Bagels was awesome since I just went in to get a regular bagel with cream cheese but then I saw all the options and everything looked so good and this place is just so delicious like I ended up getting the bagel with strawberry cream cheese and it was the best. I would definitely visit this place again for any kind of bagels or even the cinnamon rolls looked good but this place overall exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend to anyone.

Love Townie Bagels! Best bagels Ive ever had outside of New York City, by far. Its a Palm Springs institution, as far as Im concerned.

Best coffee and bagels in Palm Springs! I havent had a bagel in a long time and thoroughly enjoyed my bagel with lox/cream cheese.

The owner was very pleasant, at the same time, the waiters and the waitress that served me when I went into their shop. They wear a smile to the customers that they entertained. Besides, the foods and the coffee that they served taste good. Even the place of the shop was truly captivating. It was clean, comfortable, and beautiful to look at. Honestly, if you visit this shop, you would not regret it, for it was wonderful and affordable. Ill be back!

Fantastic bagel selection. Friendly, proactive and affable staff!

Best bagel Ive found in 3 years in California, and Im from NJ, where you are judged quite harshly.

I thanked your bartender for having prepared a very delicious cappuccino for me a week ago. I thanked your employees for quickly serving it, too. I love the atmosphere of your coffee shop because it was so elegant and classy. I couldnt ask you for more, guys! Youre deserving of being on top! You are strongly advised!

Friendly staff, great selection of really good bagels, sandwiches and other baked goods

Best veggie cream cheese Ive ever had.

Good and local place. Good coffee and quick and delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastry and other items. A little on the pricier side but worth it. Hilarious sign about underwear being optional on the door. Lol.

Excellent! The service is great, the place is super cute and welcoming. My bagel was loaded of cream cheese... they are pet friendly and they have a cute patio. They also sell bread

Small but wonderful bagel store. Great Bagels

Bagels and smoothies were awesome. Friends enjoyed their coffee.

We’ve gone multiple times to this local bagel shop and it’s delicious, but customer service is everything. One of the guys at the register was very rude this last time we went 5/22/2. We couldn’t see the names of the treats they had on display and proceeded to talk about my grandmother and I to a coworker in front of us. We will not be returning.

The cappuccino was delicious and that was without cream and sugar. Customer service was excellent. My FIL talked with the owner for a bit and he gave us some pastries on the house. Wonderful place.

All the good reviews are right. They have lines for a reason. The pastries are awesome and so is the sourdough bread. Love this place.

The best city coffee! With their coffee and service, this coffee shop is completely awesome every moment! Because of the taste, I still drink coffee here and the place is nice too. They also have good, polite and supportive workers. Dont miss the chance here to drink amazing coffee.

Townie Bagels was fantastic, had a bagel and iced coffee and both were amazing. Smoothies looked great too so will have to try them next time.

Incredible. Highly recommend the French toast bagel. But the plain and sourdough were equally fantastic. Was only in town a week and had this for breakfast multiple times

You must eat here if youre in town. The bagels are delicious with tons of varieties. They have breakfast sandwiches and some other misc pasties too.

At this times to only true Bagel store in Palm Springs and they do a fine jobFroggen awesome, sorry I just finished eating a few awesome Bagels myself.

There is more to the store than just a coffee shop. Nice coffee and pastries are in it. The workers, the food, the venue are all first class. The rates are also fair. On top of an already pleasing menu, they deliver a range of tasty beverages. The environment for efficient activities is bright and very favorable. Highly advised!

Real New York style bagels. Variety change on different days. Be nice if there was outdoor seating.

Efficient and quick, but the bagels & sandwiches are OK

Great desserts too! If you’re in the area definitely stop by and say hi to the nice staff! Delicious pastries and coffee! Fun and convenient neighborhood spot. Croissants were awesomely delicious.

Busy. Great bagels and other stuff

Delicious bagel sandwiches, buy a few for the week to last you! The entire selection looks awesome. We were given free cookies in line for our long wait and patience- great customer service :)

This place is great for people who like to do work or hang out in a coffee shop. They have great coffee, friendly employees, and ample seating space. They are open relatively late for a local coffee shop, and I enjoyed my trip there.I will come back and recommend the place to my friends.

Amazing and aboslutly delicious !! The quiche and bagels are to die for and the staff is just as amazing.

Bagel taste like it had been microwaved, not edible! The coffee was good though

Good coffee and delicious breakfast from sandwich style to pastries. It is a little pricier than say Panera, but you get what you pay for and its totally worth it.

It was a solid coffee and oh so sweet! The environment enjoyed it. The line was long, but it went very fast.

Best bagels in Coachella Valley and probably Southern California!

The cake and drinks here are excellent. The cakes are not too sweet and have great texture. We sat at the outdoor area with a great downtown Arts District vibe.

My first visit to Townie Bagel this morning was not what I would call a success.Although I tried several times to explain to he young woman who was talking my order that I only wanted 4 bagels to go I wound up with fourbagels, three with cream cheese and one with cream cheese and lox. I stated clearly three times I only want four bagels. One onion, one veggie, one plain and one loaded. No cream cheese, no lox. The young woman apparently had other plans for my order. A disappointing and frustrating experience.I found the product to be fine but, the poor communication and customer service was less then I expected.

Great bagel place, love the ABC less gluten breakfast crackers. Would suggest those who are going to know that theres a line to enter since its so popular.

I tried this place out for the first time and was so satisfied! The service was amazing; everyone was so chill, helpful and nice. The food was delicious.

Fresh bagels and vegan options such as vegan lox!

Bagels so good you’ll imagine you were back in New York. 🥯 Local owners are also the baker. Be sure to try their other amazing pastries! 🥖🥐Also of note, they have gone above and beyond to be proactive in making the restaurant safe for customers and staff alike. Really one of the few places that is taking the threat of COVID-19 seriously. 👏🏻

Great bagels. Really nice staff.

I believe it is impossible to go into this bakery and only buy what you came in for...everything looks so good and it is.

Really awesome customer service from everyone there, and food tastes great as usual

Coming from NYC, I know my bagels! This bagel is minuscule compared to the ones from NY also the service was very slow. Got the Black Russian and the everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese.

Yum! Love the bagels and also the twice-baked sourdough bread! The best bread in Palm Springs so far!

The bagels are sooo good! The bagels are soft but have the thin crust on the outside that give you that soft crunch--the way bagels are supposed to taste. They had many varieties when I went during a holiday weekend so I can only imagine the selection when its not as busy. I got the bagel, egg, cheese sandwich and it was delicious. Egg bagels are incredible.

Great bagels. Not huge. Just right! Very authentic. They also have gluten free options. Gluten free is not included in the 1/2 dozen special bagel pricing when you buy a bunch of bagels. Just to know. Really good. Look at that Lox schmear! Chucks of lox! Nice guys behind the counter

Menu says toasting unless declined. It does not however mention they charge .25 for this. Also 1.40 for butter? Id give them two stars if the customer service had a pulse of any sort but thats DOA. Also cashiers need to speak, not mumble through the masks and shower curtains. Owner was standing right there so he clearly does not care about customer service.

Best bagels around. Lox spread is delicious!

Finally found a quality bagel shop in Springs! Love it!

Best selection of bagels and bialys as well as pastries.

Amazing bagels, great breakfast sammies, and delish coffee. Yum. Dont be intimidated by the line! It goes fast and is so worth it.

Super friendly staff. Never thought I’d compliment a bagel outside of the NYC/ NJ area but I gotta admit these are good. My only complaint would be the bagel slicing machine. That thing always gives me one skinny side and one fat side.

Great bagels and great owners and staff. We stop by here every time that we visit Palm Springs. Always a great experience and awesome meal.

Great bagels. Great service. Worth any wait in line.

A great local place. Wonderful variety of sweet and savory bagels. Have them plain or with a variety of spreads or as part of a breakfast sandwich. Prices are very reasonable as well. Townie is a very appropriate name. I was visiting from out of town but you could tell this was a regular stop for a lot of locals. Word to the wise, a lot of the specialty bagels come out of the oven around 7:30. The line builds quickly at 7:20 to get the hot bagels

The young man who works at the counter on Sunday mornings is extremely rude and unpleasant.

Oh my!!! Cant say enough about Townies. Fantastic service, very friendly & patient....(couldnt make up my mind). So many choices and freshly baked bread AND bagels made on the premises daily . . . as well as fresh Joshua Tree coffee beans, YES!Very comfortable seating inside as well as outdoor patio seating.

Very good bagels and coffee. There was about a 10-minute wait in line the 2 times I went.

Bagels are good and service is efficient. Bagels are a little in the smaller side but they are very tasty. Their pretzel bagel is really good and not something you see everyday.

With over 300 reviews and a 4.6 star rating, you can assume that they are going to be reliable. I can tell you firsthand that they deserve the rating! Excellent quality. Great variety. Clean and fast. The girl who took my order was sweet and kind. Overall, they deserve 5 stars in my book

Not as great as reviews state. Staff justok & bialy was as thick as a bagel without much fresh onion/etc.

This is my first time at this establishment as I was getting my car serviced across the street I thought I would have a bagel which I ordered and when I asked the gentleman for a knife to spread the cream cheese on my bagel he threw it at me and walked away and the bagel was probably one of the worst bagels Ive ever had I ordered sourdough it tasted old and there was no sourdough at all in it so the combination of the quality of the bagel and the complete lack of customer service I love to give this place a zero but unfortunately theres only one star dont waste your time or your money they have no clue what customer service is here a little bit goes a long way and theyve obviously never learned it

Always pleasantly surprised when we can find tasty, real bagels (not just bread with holes) on our trips. Townie didnt let us down. Took ours to go, and service was fast. Got mine with lox spread, and it was really, really tasty.

The bagel options were great, the service was great!

Awesome little breakfast spot. I got a fairly standard breakfast sandwich on a freshly made bagel and it was divine. My wifes breakfast and her tea were also great. They have a lovely lawn right outside where you can eat if it is a nice day (plenty of those in Palm Springs). Only one star off because it was a bit pricey for a breakfast sandwich at a counter-serve spot. But well worth stopping in for a treat, particularly if you love well-made breakfast.

Top notch and authentic bagels always made with pride and love. The team here is friendly, skilled and efficient - even when there are a lot of customers (which frequently there are). They offer a great range of flavors but its recommended that you come in before 10am to get a full range of choices. There are tasty hot and cold coffee and tea options. There is comfortable seating inside as well as a couple of tables outside in the shade of the northern end of the building. Its not unusual to share a table with strangers which creates a wonderful opportunity to make new friends in this very community oriented bakery. 🐻👍

As a New Yorker, when I was told wed be getting bagels in Palm Springs, I wasnt expecting much-- but this place proved me so wrong! Really great fresh bagels, a little different then the ones Im used too (the inside was less dense, the outside was a bit chewier than NY ones, but I actually found I liked both these things a lot, its quite a good combination). Some seating, Id suggest getting take out.

Great employees

Great quality bagels and love the cream cheese. Locals Andy and Bill know how to produce an amazing bagel and provide all the essential accruments during the lock down. Thanks for keeping us fed!

Such an amazing little place. Very cozy and a great place to just sit with friends and chill. They have a great variety of bagels and all the mix-ins. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have a good variety of drinks, coffee, and teas. Support a local place and go get a bagel! Great place, I would very highly recommend.

This is my hang. This is my office. “I can meet you at Townie Bagels at 11 AM any day but Tuesday—when they’re closed—or Thursday.” The bagels, of course, are the best you’ll find this side of the Hudson River, and the coffee is excellent, from a local roaster. If you decide to make Townie Bagels your hang or your office, please don’t sit on the sofa with a view of Sunny Dunes because that’s where I sit.

Very friendly service. We had everything bagel sandwiches. Were from New Jersey and didnt expect to get a good bagel out here. Townies surprised us with a great bagel. Good cappuccino as well. Thanks!

Wow! We really enjoyed this place. Stopped in because of the Dining Out For Life fundraiser and we had to be nearby in the morning and found it to be a great place to have a quick breakfast. Ran into some friends who eat there regularly. Who knew?Had a bagel with cream cheese and coffee, and my partner had a egg, ham and cheese sandwich. All was excellent. The place was especially busy because of the fundraiser, which the owner was honored to be a part of. He was super nice to everyone and making sure everything was going smoothly with the larger than normal crowd, which it was. I need to get up early to go there again!

Best bagels in the valley

By far the best bagels in Palm Springs, maybe even the whole valley

I was created warmly. I was excited! My first visit. My tomato was old and mushy. Very disappointing.

First I want to say I love the bagels and every chance I can go I do. This is however the third time I felt like asking for my bagel toasted was an issue again. Previously I have asked for my bagel toasted but they don’t toast to a light golden color. I was told on my last visit to ask for double toasted. I figured that would make sense to run it through twice. Today I ask for double toasted what I got looked like charcoal on the inside and deceiving on the outside. I did not dare say anything because the attitude would have been the same as when I was told to ask for a double toasted bagel. I wanted to know what was going through this persons mind when they thought a burnt black bagel is acceptable. I think they must have laughed when they served that burnt bagel. I tried so hard to eat that lox bagel but I could not. What a disappointment for a much anticipated visit.

This place is fine for a bagel and coffee. I ordered mine with peanut butter and it was really oily and messy. If i go back i will try something else. There is a nice outdoor seating area and plenty of parking.

Delicious bagels! Nice atmosphere! Friendly, fast service. We came here close to 7am and one of my bagels was naturally warm from the oven. The sizes are more traditional then then the commercially peddled ones (smaller). Still considered pricey for the US, but I do not think itd considered pricey for California or NYC natives. Outdoor and indoor seating available.

The place to go for freshly made bagels and other baked goods along with lots of choices to create breakfast or lunch bagel sandwiches. Good strong Joshua Tree coffee too.

Four stars because they forgot my bacon 🥓🥓

Bagels are exceptional... Chewy center and slightly crispy crust that bubbles just right when toasted. Generous with cream cheese & other spreads. Staff is friendly & helpful. Store & bathroom kept clean.

Great food both sweety and savory. Coffee is good and strong. Food comes out fast coffee a little slow.

Updated...my earlier review follows but reduced to one star owing to attitude of staff. Had a gift card that wasnt honored owing to their changing their system. Was told it would take a few weeks to fix. 3 visits and two months later, I told the staffer that they had to honor the card owing to state law. He mocked me and went to get the owner. The owner pulled out a printed list that had all the older cards on it--he proceeded to honor my card after he found it on the list. I wonder how many other peoples cards are being dishonored (the list was multiple columns and pages in length). I told the owner about being ridiculed by the staffer and he just ignored my comments. I havent been back since.Original review: Would get 5 but priced a bit on the high side. Bagels are authentic and delicious. Size is on the small side. Its obvious a lot of work goes into the making of their product. Many varieties offered and always fresh. Place is immaculately clean and service is prompt. Worth a trip...and another...

They have a great array of different bagels and breads. Very efficient at getting your order to you in a timely manner even when very busy.

I liked their bagel with egg and cheese. Also a latte. They have good service and their staffs were always smiling. Prices were cheap too.

This place rocks. You think you know a thing or two about bagels? Youve seen it all? Get your bagel fix here, my friend. While everyone talks about NYC bagels, Townie Bagels in Palm Springs just raised the bar. From now on, my reference bagels will be Palm Springs bagels.Dont believe the hype? Read all the other reviews and try it out. Forget your hotel breakfast - drive here instead.

The bagels are totally toothsome. They’re that delicious: chewy but with the perfect crunch when toasted. I had the everything bagel toasted with jalapeño cream cheese - smooth, spicy, salty, etc. Try one! I’ve been looking for reliable bagels to pick up and serve to guests visiting from out of town. This is the place. Also, value-priced iced coffee with just enough ice. 24oz for $3.70.

Appreciate the stringent and well followed Social Distancing practices of this local bagel shop!

This is such a very special shop for a few reasons. The bagels are incredible and made fresh daily. Theres a wide variety and you can get it breakfast style or lunch style all day or just plain cream cheese like I do. The staff is really friendly and theyre very fast getting your order ready. I highly recommend this really special little shop here in Palm Springs

So silly good. Just get the bakers dozen and get all different ones. You want to try them anyway. Just go straight for it.

Great house made bagels with delicious bagel sandwich options. Outstanding French bread and Everything crackers.

Wonderful bagels and baked goods. BB cream cheese veggie topping is the most unique and natural I have ever had. It is made in store using cream cheese and finely chopped vegetables such as carrots, red peppers, celery, red onions. I am addicted to it.

Good coffee and bagels

Ive had bagles nearly around the world including New York City Jewish bagel shops and this place is superb! I support local small businesses and this happens to be one. Staff is super nice and brings your food items to you.
