There’s something magical about the aroma of freshly baked bagels, and at Yetz’s Bagels in Isla Vista, that magic is alive and well. As a lover of good food and vibrant communities, I couldn’t wait to visit this new spot that has quickly become a local favorite. With hand-rolled, boiled, and baked bagels crafted from a centuries-old tradition, Yetz’s isn’t just serving food—it’s creating connections.

The Story Behind Yetz’s Bagels

Yetz’s Bagels isn’t just any bagel shop; it results from founder Daniel “Yetz” Dunietz’s passion and nostalgia. After many trips to the East Coast, he got tired of loading his suitcase with bagels for the ride home. So he decided to craft his own, drawing from time-honored techniques.

Today, each bagel is hand-rolled, boiled, and baked, just like in classic New York shops. Walking inside, you’ll catch the mouthwatering smell of fresh bagels and find a menu filled with familiar favorites and creative options that satisfy every craving.

Why Yetz’s Bagels Matters to Our Community

Yetz’s Bagels stands for more than good food—it shows what’s special about Santa Barbara. It’s a spot where neighbors can come together over breakfast or lunch, share stories, and enjoy life’s simple moments. This kind of friendly place reminds us to slow down and really connect with one another.

Yetz’s dedication to making each bagel by hand and following age-old traditions speaks to what we value as a community: putting in real effort to create something meaningful. It’s not just about taste—it’s about the care that goes into every detail.
