A new café venture will be moving into an old bagel store space in Costa Mesa, according to county records. The business, Ali’s Bagel & Coffee, has filed plans showing its intent to set up shop at the address 2947 Harbor Blvd, but details are scarce.
Ali’s Bagel & Coffee has been navigating the approval process with the Orange County Health Department, but multiple submissions have been repeatedly marked “unable to approve” through September and October. The county is currently waiting for additional revisions before the venture can move forward in the space.
No timeline is known for when the company will debut, and the owners did not return requests for comment. Business filings list Ashley Michelle Hernandez as CEO and Marcelino Hernandez as a director, and a paper trail for the entity first began in February. Its social media shows no updates beyond an initial post, and locals are chiming in, wondering when doors may open, but no response has been given.
Previously, the location housed a similar concept that operated under the name Deli & Bagel Cafe. Yelp has reported that it has since closed.
