This isn't a restaurant more so a bagel stand. Outdoor seating only. Ambiance is - take your food and sit outside. Which is fine. It's California so plenty of bagels OPTIONS, which is good for the consumer, not so sure if it is for the business model but that's not for me to decide. What makes this a 3 star review is the cream cheese option, or the shmear. $2 for shmear is outrageous. The app doesn't give you the option to have it on the side - I don't know how clean your knife is. If you're going to charge me $2, at least give me the option to have it on the side. I'd much prefer that option than the OPTION of 34 different types of bagels that probably are thrown out at the end of the night. Then when you want cream cheese on the side - there isn't a small packet offered for a nominal fee, but rather a minuscule $2 option or a $5 tub of cream cheese. No thanks. Silly. I'll just go to Trader Joe's and stock up on whipped cream cheese for $2.99 Bagel is good! Love the plain, everything, and cinnamon raisin!

They serve bagels with a focus on the trade exchange. The TV screens and decors are related to that of trading, stocks, and news about the market. The service is great!

Totally worth the cost because it came with a lot of smoked salmon. I'd love to come back here again in the future!

1. Another perfect Los Angeles day. Woke up and the weather outside was yanking me out of bed…read more Before I could even put my clothes on, I could feel Jess & Kora on the other side. Waiting for me. Waiting for us to get lunch at Belle's. Life was good. But what's even better than good? Great. Life was about to be great. 2. On the way in I saw a strange man outside wearing sunglasses. He looked at me. Friend or foe? I ran through a list of my options. Run. Stand my ground. Kiss. But then I realized I recognized him. This wasn't a stranger. This was a friend. 3. "Hey," I said. "Hey," he said back at me. Casey. We knew each other. I mentioned I was about to dine at Belle's and he immediately complimented the establishment. "Do you know who Harry Mack is?" I told him I didn't. "He's a freestyle rapper on tiktok. I saw him eating here once. I told him I like his videos when we were both in the bathroom." In the bathroom? Or in the line for the bathroom? I didn't follow up with any questions and left the conversation bewildered. 4. I sat down inside, waiting for Jess & Kora. We had eaten here together many times and this excited me. Nothing quite like eating lunch with your friends. The only thing better would be if you were getting massages from beautiful men and women. The thought brought a smile to my face. The kind of smile that hurts your cheeks so much that you wish pain was only temporary. 5. Jess showed up. Shortly after Kora did as well. The boys were back at it again. I looked around. I could tell everybody was aware of who we were and what we were doing. I even caught a stray look from a table of three men that was tinged with a tear. Jealous of the friendship we so effortlessly commanded. It was as if we were massaging each other's minds with our words. This is the kind of experience one can expect while in the presence of Zed C. from Yelp. The kind of experience you read online and think is fake but is actually realer than reality. The kind of experience that can only be contained with two slices of bagel. 6. From the jump, we were talking Area 51. The laughs were as plentiful as the refills on our cups of coffee (frequent!) But the happiness could only take us so far. It was only a matter of time until we began looking at the walls and the photos that covered them. Photos of people, of bagels, of everything that wasn't... us. There wasn't a photo on the wall of us. Zed C. from Yelp and Jess & Kora. I don't believe in divine justice, but we do what we can to form some level of fairness in a galaxy bent on chaos. Entropy consumes us all but... if Belle's could put a photograph of the three of us on their wall... maybe hope isn't just a false promise of what's to come. Maybe life could exceed great and become... excellent. The same tear I saw in the stranger's eye populated Jess' eye. Kora's eye. & mine as well. We shut our eyes and pretended that this moment never happened. The boys were back at it once again! 7. Our food arrived. I had ordered the ECA, the egg, cheese and avocado mash bagel. Everything. At home I only get plain because the seeds go everywhere making my kitchen into a literal hellscape. Here at Belle's? I indulge myself. So what if a seed doesn't land on the plate. They'll clean it up. They always do. It's why we keep coming back. That and the quality of the food. The ECA is encased in a god-tier bagel with the type of eggs that are so fluffy you could've sworn you bit into a cloud. Every bite is a reminder of the strength of modern civilization and the many sacrifices we make to be a part of something bigger (and tastier) than our own selves. 8. Eventually the conversation spilled over the edge and one of us waved a server down. One that we were friendly with. "How can we get our photo on the wall?" She wasn't receptive. But she offered a possibility... "We could put a mirror on the wall and you'd see yourself on the wall." Jess laughed loudly and as she left he told us, "She thinks we're stupid." & you know what? If she did we'd be okay with it. Because that's the type of guys we are. We roll with the punches and get down with the lunches. 9. I'd like to quickly respond to the review written by "S A." in which they said "This place is NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY" because they were forced to wait in line like everybody else. Because of their "hungry kids" they wanted everybody else to get behind them. Sounds like your "family" isn't RESTAURANT FRIENDLY. Maybe it's about time you got in line and learned to respect the rules of the culinary tradition known as "waiting until it's your turn". 10. I left Belle's feeling better than I did when I walked in. I was refreshed, I was quenched. I patted my belly and let out a sigh. Life was great. It was all downhill from here. Then I turned around and looked at Belle's. A reminder of what was to come. The boys would be back at it once again. I smiled a final time. This time it was permanent. I've never stopped smiling since.

5/27/2026 4 Stars -…read moreminus 1 Star for lack in parking spaces. First time at Belle's. PEC Got it on a plain bagel. The bagel was fluffy and had a nice chew! Herby mayo, hot sweet peppers had a hint of spice, pastrami was soft and not too salty, egg was fluffy. It was a good bagel sandwich. However, I don't think I'd reorder this. LATKE Crispy and savory. The sourcream and apple sauce together was delicious. Absolutely loved the apple sauce, which had a beautiful texture and sweetness that was addictive. The star was the applesauce! SALT BAGEL, EVERYTHING BAGEL, CACIO E PEPE, EVERYTHING PUMPERNICKEL BAGEL All of the untoasted bagels except the Cacio e Pepe, had a firm outer texture, a bit hard to tear apart with hands. Inside the bagels were dense, yet had a light chewy texture and not dry either. Toasted, they were even better. The outer crust was beautifully crispy and the inside bagel was soft and chewy. The beet cream cheese was delicious with all the bagels! Cacio e Pepe was soft all around, unlike the other bagels. Cacio e Pepe had a light cheese and black pepper crust. It wasn't full of cacio e pepe flavor right off the bat, but still enough to know what you're eating. If you ate only the top bagel, I think you'll get the best of this bagel. Still good all around, even toasted. I think it will be great as a bagel sandwich. Everything Pumpernickle had a good pumpernickle flavor in addition to the everything seasonings. They did not skimp on the seasonings! Every inch of that bagel was covered in seasonings! Favorite Bagels: Salt Bagel, Everything Bagel BEET CREAM CHEESE Delicious! Smooth, creamy, almost buttery! This is whipped cream cheese with roasted beet puree. Light in beet flavor, it had dill in it too. I was hesitant in getting a tub because it was on the pricier side. But it was so good, glad I got it! SEATS / AMBIANCE It had a lovely East Coast diner feel when walking in. But still, the space felt a bit cluttered. There were booths, counter seats and outdoor seats too. It was packed inside on a Wednesday lunch. Got there before noon. CUSTOMER SERVICE Overall good, friendly service. Staff was smiling and that's always a good thing! Went on a Wednesday before noon, but it was nearly packed. PARKING Horrible. Just horrible. Street parking only. There's a few spots directly in front of Belle's, but it's metered parking too and also it was full. It's parking that always makes or breaks your experience when driving to LA. After driving around to find a decent parking spot, I finally found one close to Belle's, but after parking, I realized it was a loading zone. So hurried to get my food to go and just ate in the car. Overall, I enjoyed the bagels here and would love to return for their bagels and lunch offerings.

The echo inside was notable so we chose outside today. I am making this our routine start when I meet up with a homie every few months in this area.

The morning was cool, so I was going to go for "hot drip" but needed decaf today (sadly) so I chose an ICED LATTE. They do offer house made flavors, but I forgot to ask which they offer.

ICED LATTE: -- whole milk taste -- smooth -- not sour or bitter -- perfect java to milk color in cup -- tasty RATING = A+ Love the proximity to Colorado Ave but in a cooler tree lined spot.

Love that they make their syrups in-house and they offer sugar and ice adjustments free of charge. There are milk substitutions for +$1! Got the Vanilla Latte with Easy Ice & Single Shot of Espresso ($7.50). The vanilla syrup was just the right amount of sweetness and tasted so good! The coffee was not too strong and it wasn't bitter so it was really enjoyable! I could definitely tell by the taste that they use high quality coffee beans so this is definitely a must! The Blue Jasmine Matcha Latte ($7.50) was so amazing! It's made with almond milk with butterfly pea flowers, jasmine tea, and in-house jasmine syrup. The matcha tasted very good quality and most likely handwhisked. The jasmine was so refreshing and fragrant. I really enjoyed the bits of butterfly pea flowers and the floral taste it added to the drink. Overall, I really enjoyed both my drinks and would definitely return and recommend!

Which is why I said "yes" to checking this place out even though it was a drive for us. We're coming from the southbay of LA. The parking situation is pretty tight, but if you get there at the right time you'll find a spot in their underground parking area. It's an easy walk up to the bagel shop from there. They have ample seating outdoors. The indoor seating is first come first take and it looks like it's usually crowded. So if you come with someone have one of you order and the other snag a table inside for that air conditioned experience especially since it's still 95 degree weather days right now. THE FOOD!! The signature calic garlic bagel was fire THE BREAD WAS SO SOFT, freshly baked out of the oven. The cream cheese had a blend of garlic & parsley. It was out of this world delicious. If you're a foodie or a bagel lover RUN to this place for a genuine foodie experience you won't regret it.

Calic Bagel (short for California + Garlic) is a super popular Korean-inspired bagel shop located…read morein Koreatown. The shop was listed in the LA Times' "25 of the Best Bagel Shops in Los Angeles" in 2025. Their bagels are made using a Japanese baking technique called tangzhong (using pre-cooked flour in the mix). [Parking]: The shop is located in a plaza with a free underground parking garage. There were few available spots at 10 AM on Sunday. [Ordering]: There was a waiting line and customers ordered via a kiosk. Once the order was ready, customers picked it up at the counter. [Atmosphere & amenities]: There is a pretty large outdoor patio. Complimentary lemon iced black tea and iced water are available at the pickup counter. There is also a small condiment station with Zab's Datil Pepper Hot Sauce near the entrance. [Menu]: The most popular item to order here is the Signature Calic (one of the options from the Stuffed Bagels category). The menu also has a small garlic symbol indicating store favorites. Other favorites include LA Lox (bagelwiches), Breakfast Becky (bagelwiches), Bacon Scallion CC (schmears), Biscoff Latte (coffee), Maple Cinnamon Latte (coffee), and Banana Matcha Latte (matcha). The shop serves coffee from Groundwork. There is also an early bird $5 special from 7 AM to 10 AM Monday through Friday which includes toast & schmear + hot or cold brew coffee. *** Signature Calic (garlic stuffed bagel. Garlic butter dipped, filled with garlic cream cheese - $9.00): This bagel was overloaded with garlic cream cheese, but it was quite good and I definitely see the appeal. Biscoff Latte (Iced Only - blend of espresso, milk, house cream & topped with biscoff crumbs - 12 oz, whole milk, $7.00): The drink was surprisingly not as sweet as I had expected. While it hit the spot, I do think it could've been slightly milkier. *** While I do think the shop is slightly overhyped, they still serve some really good bagels. 4-star on drinks and 4.5-star on bagels.

No greeting, no smile--just eye rolls and short, dismissive responses. When I asked a simple question about the menu, the person behind the counter sighed loudly and responded with obvious irritation. It felt hostile and unwelcoming. Staff was too busy talking to each other in separate conversations. I understand mornings can be busy, but that's no excuse for treating paying customers with disrespect. To make matters worse, my order was wrong, and when I politely pointed it out, I was met with attitude instead of an apology. The staff member barely acknowledged the mistake and acted like fixing it was a huge burden. The CASHIER took the bagel out in her bare hand to show me it was in the bag. Talk about unsanitary! The bagel itself was average at best--definitely not worth dealing with such unpleasant service. There are plenty of places that serve good food and treat customers with basic courtesy. This was my first experience at this chain and I won't be coming back.
