Shirley's Bagels, located in Laguna Beach, CA, is renowned for its commitment to quality and authenticity, having been voted Orange County's best bagel. Founded by Shirley Merrifield, known as The Bagel Lady, the establishment has preserved traditional bagel baking methods, ensuring a delightful chewy texture through the bake and boil process.

After Shirley's passing, the business was taken over by Donald Dikmak and then transitioned to current co-owner Carlos Perez in 1998, with family members Emily and Albert joining him later. Together, they continue to innovate the menu while honoring the legacy of Shirley's beloved recipes, all within a proud family, veteran, woman, and immigrant-owned framework.

Extra extra, Turkey Avocado makes the front page of the Yum Yum news. It was so good that I felt like a dog eating some accidental scraps that fell. I didn't even look up to notice anybody...
