Western Bagel

Got here early in the morning on a Saturday to have breakfast while getting my car maintenance. I ordered the lox bagel with cream cheese and French roasted coffee. Really enjoyed the breakfast but It would much better if the lox bagel was garnished with some capers.

I had the worst bagels this morning. They were inedible. I get bagels from here all the time but these tasted like day old bagels. And it was at 6am on a Sunday so there was no excuse for the bagels to be stale. I’ll never go to western bagel again

Traditionally I love this place but today was the worst! Bagels were cold and hard, we tried to talk to the manager to tell him but their answer was that hey we’re just too busy today. No sorry, no regret, the customer service was non existent! This used to be a place I used to love, it’s a shame the management no longer cares about the quality of the food being served.

I love bagels and find it unbelievable that when you have10 people (not exaggerating) behind the counter (employees) and 3 customers buying couple of bagels it should take maybe almost 10 minutes it took them 31, min to slice 2bagels with creamcheese 31 min, need way better training or no wonder why it’s slow here

Tasty bagel, had the everything bagel with cheese and jalapeño and a breakfast bagel which was good for a quick morning bite. Was located across the hotel we stayed at visiting from San Francisco so it was good for us

Stopped by for some breakfast, not too far from our hotel. Got two bagels, the bagels where on the small side. Wasn’t he best bagel I had.
Wouldn’t recommend it.

A must when I visit LA is to stop at Studio City Western Bagel. This chic city café offered me a parking spot in front and a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. As I entered the store I found the same sincere and friendly personnel as last time. Love coming back and being greeted with such kindness by people who clearly love their work. The bagels not only smell but also look great and taste amazing. That’s the only hard part– What bagel to choose? Well I figured that out, order my fav salt bagel and a few mixed dozens to go. Stephanie the Manager packaged the bagels up that we’re fresh right out of the oven and ready to take on the plane. This café is decorated with artistic murals and nostalgic history including the company starting in 1947 from New York and moving to California. Western Bagel is fun, efficient and a must see attraction I love in LA !

As a New Yorker one of the things I miss is a good bagel and a shmear of cream cheese.
I have tried many bagel places since moving to Cali but none ever was up to par with NY bagels shops.
So when I discovered Western Bagel I didn’t have high hopes. I ordered my bagel and as I tried it I realized I found the holy grail.
The everything bagel was amazing. I then ordered a couple of the pastries to bring home and I have to say those were amazing. If you want a taste of New York, I highly recommend Going to Western Bagel. I have been to 3 of the locations and the quality is the same at of of the them so no matter where are you you live you can get a taste of New York.
Also a FYI, ask about the rewards card because once you go you will become a regular and those points add up for free food.

They screw up orders a third of the time. Don’t expect an I’m sorry, you won’t get one. You will get a blanks stair and then a long pause before they ask if you want another one, and that will be done with a tone and a tude. The staff sucks.

Trust me. Best bagel place in California. If you find another, please let me know! What makes the bagels so special? They are fresh and fluffy… oh so fluffy!
And the flavors are endless… I prefer the 100% whole wheat everything bagel breakfast sandwich with reduced-​fat cream cheese, locks, tomatoe, lettuce, onions, cucumber.
I recommend having any of their sandwiches open-​faced. They can be very messy otherwise.
Other great bagel flavors include oatmeal raisin, and their seasonal pumpkin was great… not too sweet but it did have that hint of pumpkin we all love.
If only there were more locations but alas, the only one we can get to is in Studio City… so we usually hit that up for breakfast or lunch each time we go.
They also have a great catering platter… something like a bagel platter with all the toppings for 12 people was 75 bucks… not bad at all.

Being from the East Coast, I LOVE me some bagels! When I moved to CA it was probably the thing I was most disappointed about with food wise.
I had my husband bring a bagel from NJ on the plane and we then bought a bagel from Western Bagel and did a blind taste test. My husband guessed incorrectly, but I did not. I still prefer my NJ bagel.
But, as CA bagels go, Western Bagel is my favorites. Try the Everything Bagel (ET on the East Coast) or the round baily. The coffee is hit or miss…
The line can get long on the weekends. Parking is is free in the back or in the underground parking lot.

Some of the freshest bagels in L.A. with a selection that has something for everyone. Family friendly as well as dog friendly. You can kick it on the patio if you like. Does get a bit busy on weekends. Maybe because they got Dat Stuff!

So I’ve been here before for breakfast but never I think for lunch. I’m not usually around a Western Bagel at lunchtime nor do I think of Western Bagel when it comes time to eat something around lunchtime so the stars just happened to be aligned perfectly today I guess and things worked out.
I was in the area with a friend running some errands and he suggested that we stop in here for a quick bite and I’m glad we did. I originally was looking to get a roasted turkey hot bagel sandwich but the server girl explained that they were out. So I went to my next fail safe… pastrami. OMG! It was amazing too and I’m so glad they didn’t have turkey after all. Haha! And the mustard they used there on the pastrami was like nothing I’d ever tasted before… delicious!
The store was nice and clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend eating here for breakfast, brunch or lunch and I too will back!

No matter the legal code… I think it should be absolutely criminal to be a place that (a) serves coffee and simultaneously (b) does not have a bathroom. I can think of no deeper restaurant torture. Well. Maybe water boarding. But besides that. Nothing.
The bagels are OK… but as I am from the west coast, I feel kind of lumped into some sort of backhanded slam: Western Bagels (western of what, I’m not sure) are not what I would call AMAZING… they actually just look kind of sad. Everything is west of something else, I suppose (that’s deep, yo), but my feeling is that someone from the east coast moved here, created Western Bagel, and is silently laughing every time someone buys one:
«I can’t believe they buy this, crap… stupid westerners.»
All this being said, I have still been here three or four times… they have GREAT hours and always, Always, ALWAYS have had some sort of a freak show of a patron ordering in front of me. Now, while I *am* from the west coast, I am not from Hollywood/LA…so the entertainment alone of watching somebody trying to order bagels when he/​she is coked up out of his/​her mind is great:
«I’ll have a unicorn bagel with a side of Owen Wilson, please. And don’t give me Luke Wilson again… I nearly puked last time, bro.»
I just hope these people don’t need to pee… because then, Western Bagel… then you are going to have a «I am on drugs, hungry, and now caffeinated up» type of argument. Nobody wants that.
Well…maybe I do.

To be honest, I visited this place due to convenience. It was the closest bagel shop to the hiking trail my friends and I just completed, so I figured I give it a chance.
Upon entry, I see a long winding line for bagels at 10 in the morning. While it was technically still early, I just cannot comprehend why there would be a line… Unless the bagels were really extraordinary. Fortunately, the line went by really quick and I was able to order a Jalapeño cheese everything bagel with egg.
I give them 3 stars for being very accommodating of my order. I dock the location 2 stars because of the long wait to get my order and the bagel was a too salty and surprisingly too greasy. For waiting as long as I have, I expected the food to be well made, especially since it was simply a bagel, but it definitely fell short to my expectation.
I will only try this place again if it is conveniently close to me.

I had just finished an hours-​long salon appointment and knew I had a long drive home during rush hour traffic. I just wanted something to tide me over until I got home.
I’ve always liked Western Bagel and was happy this one was close-​by. I ordered a coffee and an Everything Bagel with grape jelly. The coffee was good, but the bagel was burnt. Also… I had expected my bagel to be buttered, but I guess in Western Bagel, one needs to stipulate everything. I can understand that. It’s a custom bagel place, so my bad.
The shop was clean, the accoutrements counter was clean. The order-​taker was friendly. I would have been happier with a non-​burnt bagel, but it was ok for a pit stop.

Good bagels which tasted fresh. We always order garlic bagels with lightly spread cream cheese, perfect flavor, with perfect service.

Great bagels! Service is good as well. I have been coming here for years and really cant say a bad thing about this place.

I’m a fan of the bagels, but parking can be a nightmare, especially in the morning when everyone is trying to turn on Coldwater Canyon.
Overall, a solid experience and I will definitely be going back for bagels!

Today I tried lox for the first time. The bagel (plain) was very fresh. The salmon not too fishy and was fresh. The lox was 4 stars but the coffee was 2. It seemed watered down. At 7am coffee is the most imporant thing!
