Sweet Treats Escapes
A long-running Corona bakery that doubles as a bagel shop, known for oversized, inexpensive bagels alongside Italian-American bakery staples like pound cake and cookies. Regulars treat it as a morning carb stop and an afternoon sweets run, with coffee and savory items filling in the gaps. Online feedback shows some unevenness in service and pacing, but strong value and fresh output when the ovens are humming.
