I've heard so many great things about Hank's Bagels, and it definitely lived up to the hype…read more Everything is made on their signature sourdough bagels, which have the perfect chewy texture and incredible flavor that sets them apart from your average bagel. I ordered the #1 on a plain bagel and swapped the cheddar for Gruyère, and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of fried egg, crispy bacon, fresh tomato, creamy aioli, and the rich, nutty Gruyère was perfect. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and the bagel itself stole the show. We also picked up a half dozen bagels to take home, and they were just as impressive on their own. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into making them. What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions, creating the kind of neighborhood atmosphere that makes you want to come back. If you're looking for an exceptional bagel sandwich or just want to experience a truly great sourdough bagel, Hank's is absolutely worth the stop. I can already tell this is going to become one of my regular breakfast spots

My go-to recently has been a sesame seed bagel and I try a different cream cheese each time, depending on my mood. I'm usually an everything bagel person but I've been trying to switch it up lately.

I hope that if the management sees this, they can upgrade their phone system. And I'm not the only one, I have multiple friends who also order from here and will literally give up on ordering because they cannot hear them on the other end. I literally tried ordering today, I had to hang up multiple times because they could not hear me even though my reception was perfect, so I went somewhere else instead. I would highly recommend for the owner to upgrade the phone system, I'm probably not the only one who thinks this!

Service: Not so great, employee didn't great back and looked pretty upset to be working lol. Store ambiance was ok I guess, nothing special. Overall: It was a waste of $5 for 2 bagels. Go buy a pack of everything bagels from costco, those are WAYYY better!

Well, this place doesn't have the most energetic staff. I placed my order and the girl who took it…read morelooked like she was half asleep lol. Then I asked another girl if they had lox bagels here, and all she did was look at me, smile, and walk away. Okayyyy... guess I won't be ordering that today. So I just stuck with a jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese. It was pretty good, not the best I've ever had. It wasn't really toasted, more like just warmed up. There was a decent amount of cream cheese on it though. The bagel itself had a good texture. Probably a little more jalapeños than I normally like, but still not bad. Overall, not bad, not great. But the staff could definitely use a little more pep in their step in the morning. If someone asks about your products, it would probably help to actually talk about it with the customer instead of just smiling and walking away.

Located inside the Valley Market off Ventura Blvd, this is 1 of the 4 Lodge Bread Café locations in…read morethe LA area. It's a few doors down from Blue Bottle and offers a quaint outdoor seating area to drink in the sun's Vitamin D rays beneath the patio umbrellas. You might've seen their mobile bakery food truck by farmers markets in Torrance and Mar Vista or around Culver City with their signature, artisanal loaves, pastries, and giant cinnamon rolls. After all, they're known for their daily, freshly-baked breads like the Seeded Grain, Country Sourdough (it's naturally-leavened), Jerusalem Bagel loaf, crusty Baguettes, and a Brioche Challah that's specially baked on Fridays. You can find a variety of deli favorites, avocado toast, salads, and shakshuka on their menu. At its core, Lodge is a fusion of classic bakery goods meets Middle Eastern heritage. Everything is baked in their intimate kitchen and the staff is super nice & helpful. Of course, it's me so I deliberated between the shakshuka or a bread-y deliciousness long enough to have my friend just choose for me. She chose wisely! The Veggie Sammie was chock full of yum, wholesome goodness, and nature's vitamins to soothe my achy-broken arm. With gratitude, I indulged in their freshly-baked seeded-grain piled high with avocado, sprouts cucumbers, tomato, lettuce & shmeared with a zesty pepper aioli + a pickle on the side. It hit the spot, despite me not being hungry. Our order was #86 and it was a gentle reminder that thankfully, I only broke my arm, and not my neck. So I can return next time to enjoy their shakshuka--or avocado toast.

Welcome to Lodge Bread - Woodland Hills…read more Located at the Valley Country Market shopping plaza with other great gems. Lodge Bread has shared outdoor seating, free Wi-Fi and solid service. They seem quite busy in the am, for the morning patrons and early risers. An abundance of bread, cafe style options, ready to go bites and delights as well as beverages. The aromas are amazing and they definitely have a great flow, though they did forget my cold brew order for some odd reason, they usually never miss a beat. Team Vegan Caesar Salad! And team Fresh Veggie Sammie! They have a variety of baked things, salad stuff, sides, sammies (sandwiches), toasts (including avocado) and breakfast meets lunch style items. It's a full crew at the lodge from 8am til 4pm daily. Definitely on the moderate side of coast, though being a small biz and one of only three locations in Greater Los Angeles, they definitely make the effort for quality as well as quantity. And I do love supporting small as well as Veteran-owned gems like this. A lot of the bread is dairy and egg free, which I'm all for - especially their Ancient Grain Loaf, Sprouted Rye, Focaccia and Olive Loafs. Parking is lot with up to 2 hour validation with QR code scan in and out at the business you visit. Street parking also available along Ventura Blvd/De Soto Ave where Lodge Bread resides. Dog friendly outside. Restrooms available. Very accessible. And open to all.

I asked an employee sitting nearby if smoking was allowed, and she told me it was because the patio is outside. I'm pretty sure that's a legal health violation (Los Angeles Municipal Code §41.50). The food itself was decent. The sandwich tasted fresh but the vanilla latte was a bit watered down. Overall, the smoking experience really took away from what could have been an enjoyable meal.
