    Potato Bacon Calic & Elote Calic
    Brendan G.

    I've always wanted to try stuffed bagels and this place did not disappoint! I tried the Bacon Scallion Bagel and the French toast bagel; would totally recommend. I've also had their tater tots before and those are amazing as well. Many options for everyone, including sandwiches and other desserts! This place is quite popular so there definitely is going to be a wait. There's seating inside and spacious seating outside, (perfect to start your mornings) and parking in the garage that's next to it! They also have a $5 quick meal if you get there before 10am ;)

    Calic Bagel was highly recommended to me, and it did not disappoint! This is the cutest little spot to have a delicious, light, and fresh brunch. I had the Vegan Sun, so instead of sun dried tomato cream cheese, there was hummus, which was so complimentary to the rest of the ingredients. I would love to see Calic Bagel have some more vegan options, I think they'd do great! The ingredients were all so noticeably fresh and high quality, I would definitely recommend this spot. I love their branding/decor, it's a bright, vibrant location with great vibes and friendly folks! I also appreciated their clean restrooms and how attentive staff was to wiping dining tables down for the next guests.

    Finally back to try more stuff here. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. This time I got their new truffle tots, blueberry cheesecake, cinnamon raisin bagel, and potato and pizza stuffed bagels to try. The truffle tots just tasted like normal tater tots. The blueberry cheesecake had a crunchy buttery biscoff crust with a super light foamy whipped airy cheesecake. Wasn't getting much blueberry flaves tho. The cinnamon raisin bagel had a nicely crisp exterior, pillowy fluffy full interior, with warm cinnamony flaves and pops of sweetness from the raisins. The potato bagel was filled with smooth mashed potato's that had bits of savory bacon in it and was topped with some cheese. The pizza bagel was stuffed with like this bright tomatoey rich cream cheese and topped with pepperoni and melted cheese. Overall these were lowkey pretty good. Truffle tots $7 Blueberry cheesecake $6.50 Cinnamon raisin bagel $3 Potato bagel $9.50 Pizza bagel $9

    Calic offers delicious bagels with a lots of innovative twists. Their calic bagels are stuffed with cream cheese and offered in plenty of flavors from signature garlic to habanero. They also have plain bagels, matcha smears, and breakfast bagel sandwiches with steamed egg. Everything was really tasty and original! The line was out the door on the weekend and probably took 10 minutes to order. There's a parking lot downstairs with the entrance in front of the actual bagel shop. The inside is pretty small and casual. They also offered complimentary black iced tea after you order at the register!

    The staff here are so sweet and really helped me decide on what to get. I ended up going with the garlic bagel, and I'm so glad I did. If you're only visiting once, definitely get the garlic bagel since that's what they're known for. They also have a clean bathroom inside, which is always appreciated, and a nice outdoor area to sit and eat. Overall just a really pleasant experience.

    Calic Bagel (short for California + Garlic) is a super popular Korean-inspired bagel shop located in 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.

    i've had the opportunity of trying calic bagel quite a few times and each time it's pretty enjoyable! i really like their stuffed bagels, of which i've tried the signature and the pepperoni pizza one. the last time i came i got the chevys pollowich and that was pretty good as well. i do wish there was a bit more sauce just because im a sauce girl, and the chicken was a tiny bit dry. other than that, the employees were super sweet and the space itself is cute. there were some people doing work, so potentially a good place to study as well!

    YES!!! Definitely lives up to the hype. I got the signature garlic and habanero garlic to try. The habanero was perfection. If you like spicy it had a kick that lingered giving the bagel an extra punch. The signature garlic had a hint of sweetness paired with the tangy garlic. Both were delicious and perfect for sharing alternating between sweet and spicy. There were so many flavors to choose from I can't wait to come back and try more!

    My husband's cousin told me about Calico. She brought me here for my birthday. Ok, so I must start by saying I've been trying to get her to try matcha for the past several years and she finally tried it on her own here and loved it. 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.

    Potato bacon for the win first of all! Sorry had to get that out first. I got here around 11am the line was slightly long not to crazy so we waited you can look around and check out the trinkets while you wait. Then you get to the register and they have tablets to pay and order. I got a classic garlic and then the potato bacon and an iced biscoff cookie I forgot which one it was. I didn't really like it enough to remember the name 3 out of 10 iced latte. But the food was amazing. The size of those bagels were huge!! I really liked the garlic bagel but enjoyed the potato cheese and bacon bagel wow u can taste the flavor in them. Honestly it was great

    Got the lox with an everything bagel and loved everything about including the freshness of the salmon. I also got the Calic Experience Box with 2 Signature, 2 Habanero, 1 Pepperoni Pizza, and 1 Bacon Scallion. I tried the Signature and Habanero first, and I really liked the kick from the Habanero. The Signature was also really good and honestly a must-try for first timers and you can't really go wrong with it. The Bacon Scallion was super flavorful too. Everything was really good, but definitely on the heavier side. I'd still come back for sure. They validate parking in the lot, and there's plenty of seating inside even on a weekend, which was nice.

    totally worth the hype!!! we came on a Sunday morning and it wasn't busy! originally i was gonna try the garlic one but i chickened out last second because i'm not a fan of cream cheese. instead, i tried the pizza stuffed bagel and it was SOOO good. the honey garlicky glaze on the bagel was a whole nother level, yall need to try it for yourself. my bf got the breakfast becky which was also very good. it had bacon egg cheese arugula and gochujang aioli and i feel like all the flavors worked really well together. will be coming back to try the garlic one!!! they have ample seating inside :)

    I ordered the habanero calic, signature calic, pizza calic, matcha latte and a biscoff latte. Starting with the bagels, I think I am in between the signature calic and the habanero calic as my favorite. The signature calic and the pizza calic both have a bit of a sweet after taste. Can't put my finger on it but it's slightly sweet. The habanero calic did not taste sweet. The cream cheese is amazing. The garlic isn't overpowering. The dough is perfect. Overall satisfied with the bagels and will be reordering. Now for the coffees. The biscoff coffee wasn't as sweet as I thought it was going to be. I definitely prefer sweet coffees but it wasn't extremely bitter, just my preference. Still very good! The matcha latte was flavorful. I ordered ahead since it was my first time going and was glad I did because there was a long line upon arriving. Just a tip. My order was ready upon arriving.

    Do they have a gluten free option? Unable to tell from the Toast menu, but one review mentions it.

    Are there any eggs in the bagel, like the dough or anything else?

Service was impeccable. The host and servers were attentive to us to see if everything was okay. Food was delicious and all that came out from the kitchen. It seemed intimidating when I saw chili crisp in a lot of dishes on the menu. However, that wasn't the case when we received the dishes. Each dish had other ingredients that married well with the chili crisp, allowing it to have a small hint of it there without overpowering the dish.

    I have returned! For brunch this time…read more FLAVOR (4.5/5): 1. SMOKED SALMON MOUSSE AND CRUMPETS: One of my favorite dishes that we ordered. Great sampler plate - the pickled onions and jalapeños added that kick to the mousse. I have no idea how they make the crumpets, but I could have eaten 5 of those. The tomatoes on top of the mousse were delightful. 2. POTATO CREPE: Our server said this was one of their most popular dishes and it did not disappoint. It honors the original Banh Xeo while offering a fun "brunch" twist with the crispy potato shell. Admittedly a little oily and messy, but I can get down. 3. HOUSE MAPLE SAUSAGE: We knew we needed a little bit more in our order but didn't want to commit to a full dish, so that's where the sausage came into play. Definitely should try this with the crumpet and pickled veggies. 4. OOEY GOOEY CINNABON: The cinnabon was unfortunately a bust - it honestly just reminded me of cinnabon, but with no unique twist or flair that I could note. I would skip this and maybe try the pb&j sourdough pancakes instead. SERVICE (5/5): Service was good! AMBIENCE (5/5): Fun brunch spot with options for outdoor seating. The interior is nicely decorated and feels very open. PARKING (3/5): Street parking - managed to snag something on a Sunday. TAKEAWAYS: I've had two experiences at Girl & the Goat so far - one for dinner and one for brunch - and I think I preferred the brunch experience by far. Enough so that I'm considering revisiting their dinner menu to see if they've changed or I've changed... who knows?

    I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

    This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at Zinc. I've been coming here on and…read moreoff for the past four years and have never experienced customer service this bad. We started with coffee. My boyfriend ordered a mocha, and I ordered a salted caramel latte. His drink was fine, but mine had absolutely no flavoring. As a former barista, I could immediately tell it was just a plain iced latte. I politely asked the waitress if they had forgotten the syrup, and she insisted, "There is syrup in it, but I can ask them to add more." I knew there wasn't any syrup, but I didn't want to argue, so I said, "Sure, please add more." A few minutes later, the manager came over and told me they actually didn't have salted caramel. So I asked if I could just get a regular caramel latte instead. She then told me they couldn't make that either because they were out of caramel sauce, the very reason they couldn't make the salted caramel in the first place. So why hand me a plain iced latte and tell me it had syrup when you knew you didn't even have the ingredients? Why not simply come back and let me know you were out and ask if I'd like something else? Instead, I was given a regular latte at the price of a flavored one (plus they later charged me for the syrup they never even added). For context, I had originally ordered a dirty chai, which they also couldn't make. So that's two drinks they didn't have, yet no one thought to communicate that before serving me something completely different. When I told the manager I'd look back at the menu for another option, she responded, "Okay... are you going to tell the waitress what drink you want?" I just looked at her, confused, and said, "Well... yeah?" How else was I supposed to order a replacement? The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude. Then it was time to order food. My boyfriend ordered the truffle burger, and I ordered the French toast. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they couldn't make the French toast. No problem, I told her I'd also have the truffle burger. She acknowledged it, wrote it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and what side I wanted. I ordered it medium-well with fries. So both burger orders were sent in at the same time. About 20 minutes later, the food arrived, but only my boyfriend's burger and an extra side of fries that we never ordered. At that point, we didn't even bother saying anything about the fries because we were trying to avoid making things more difficult. We waited another 20 minutes (even though it was so slow). My boyfriend finished eating, and my burger still hadn't come out. Finally, we asked for the check and requested that my burger be removed since it never arrived. That's when the waitress told us I had never ordered a second burger. I was honestly speechless. I reminded her that she had taken my order after telling me they couldn't make the French toast. She had written it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and asked what side I wanted. Her response was that she thought I meant only my boyfriend's burger. That explanation made no sense because my boyfriend's order had already been taken before she took mine. It honestly felt like we were being gaslit over something as simple as ordering a burger. To make matters worse, after we paid and were finally leaving, I looked at the receipt and realized I had been charged for the salted caramel latte that I never actually received. We had to go back yet again. Thankfully, a different employee, not the waitress or the manager helped us. They were friendly, understanding, and quickly corrected the charge. I'm not sure if management has changed, but this entire experience was unnecessarily frustrating from beginning to end. Everything that could have gone wrong did. Honestly, I should've taken the "B" health grade posted on the window as a warning. We ended up walking over to Blue Bottle next door for coffee instead, and I'd absolutely recommend going there if you're looking for a place that actually values customer service. After four years of coming to Zinc, this experience has me seriously questioning whether I'll ever be back.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

    Distrito Catorce is a gem in Boyle Heights that delivers on all fronts. The food was outstanding!…read moreFresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

    We were going to the Obscure Bar in the Arts District for the 6 cocktail we had no clue what at 8pm…read moreand while I had walked past this beautiful restaurant a few times roaming around the DTLA arts district, I had never actually eaten at Manuela's. This restaurant is set in the Hauser and Wirth art Gallery complex and since we got there early we toured the front gallery with an incredible assist from a docent named Michael who pointed out the most incredible pieces and steered us to the gallery at the back of the complex behind Manuela's. Both galleries are worth exploring. However, back to Manuela's. Our very friendly server sat us on the large wraparound patio and after my explaining my celiac issues and getting some guidance on their incredible menu, we shared the following after my friend ordered a delicious Sangria while knowing as a lightweight and cheap date I would be having 6 cocktails later, I ordered the Ta Ta Tatiana- Watermelon, ginger, honey, lemon, mint, bitters: Cast iron cornbread, cultured butter, wildflower honey Kusshi oysters, Nantes carrot mignonette Arugula, emerald beauty plum, goat cheese, spiced pecans, aged balsamic Hokkaido scallops, brown butter-bacon vinaigrette, mustard greens The oysters came out first and had a delightful and unusual carrot mignonette. Small and not like Louisiana Gulf Oysters, they were fresh and delicious. Next came the Arugula salad that was tart and tasty as well as a generous portion. The cast iron cornbread was ridiculously so good I joked that I would just order two of them next time. This joint actually makes their cornbread without flour which is sadly rare for me so not only was this a gluten free treat, it was light and just melted in blissful corn flavor. Last came the scallops in a brown butter bacon vinaigrette with mustard greens that was so perfectly prepared these might be the best scallops I've ever eaten, which can sometimes be dicey. With the sauce they could have served blackened, sautéed asphalt and it would have tasted good. Well done to Manuela's all around.
