Amangela's Sandwich & Bagel House

Was hesitate to try a new spot since I’ve been up here only a few times, but this was the best decision I’ve ever made.
So much flavor in these bagels. Honestly the best I’ve had in California compared to New York.

This is quite possibly the cutest breakfast shop that I've found in Big Bear. The employees were very friendly and had great suggestions for what to order. They are able to accommodate special requests and specific dietary needs/requests. I will definitely be returning!

The Veggie sandwich had outstanding flavor, it was large, very sharable and came with a side portion of potato salad. This summer Tuesday at 11am the crowd was light, no one in line to order. The staff (I saw two) were polite and attentive but not friendly, they were politely transactional. My custom order was taken and delivered to my outside table correctly, after a 15 minute wait. The indoor facility was somewhere between could-have-been-cleaner and clean-enough. The tables were all clean though. Drinking water and plastic cups were available for self-serve. I'll return for the large portion, excellent sandwich. Oh, there's a 4% charge to use your Apple/Google pay or a credit or debit card, which I paid willingly for both sanitation and convenience.

The BLTA was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the bacon perfectly thin and crispy. I think the bagel was on the bread-y side and the accompanying fruit cup was a bit sad. Still a great option for a healthy breakfast/lunch in the area!

I went in on a busy Saturday and wish I would’ve called in an order. It was nice to see the place busy though! The menu on the wall was too cluttered to make sense of but the paper and online menu is very clear (and actually lists all ingredients).

My sandwich was really good, especially on the house favorite basil garlic bread! Cute cafe ambiance. Unfortunately my americano was overflowing and scalded my hand and was dripping on everything it touched. After it cooled down, it was pretty good.
