    Food and drinks were out of this world!!! Super cute fresh feeling spot. Everything we ordered was so good! We tried the breakfast burritos, LA heatwave bagle and the chicken bowl all were delicious. Fresh and piping hot. We ordered a coffee, smoothie, fresh juice and matcha, again all were so yummy! Highly recommend!

    Super nice staff and dog friendly. Dre's cold brew was the perfect amount of sweetness with vanilla cold foam. Dre's breakfast sando was fresh delicious and hearty loved the aiole sauce and seeded pretzel bun!

    Just walked by and found a cute little coffee spot! The front is unassuming pink neon signage so I thought it was a salon at first! They have some pastries and other breakfast options too. We got some coffee and our order was prepared quick and served tableside. Cute and comfortable indoor area to enjoy your drinks and food.

    The food is phenomenal! The breakfast sandwich is huge and I really loved it, and they have a good matcha. Staff gives out free samples of their specialty lemonade every day, plus there's wifi for getting work done. The interior is beautiful with really tall ceilings.. it's the perfect place to hang out, get work done, have a matcha date, or eat lunch. Easter Egg: their logo emulates an original Banksy painting on the side of the building. I'll surely be using it as my daily office.

    Very Dog Friendly .. Lucy pulls me in to see the girls as they always greet her with treats ! The food is generously proportioned.. definitely can share. The interior I has a tropical vibe. They provide breakfast and lunch , lattes and pastries.

    Pineapple Juice and Cookie Butter Latte

    Walked by this place and had to go in! Such a chill, modern vibe. The service was fast and friendly, and they had sooo much options it was hard to choose. Ended up going with the cookie butter iced latte and my daughter picked pineapple juice. So much seating and perfect to chat, eat, work, etc.

    This place was a really cool vibe! I came here to study with my girlfriend and it was a good time! Outlets are there but just have to find the right spot. We ordered the breakfast burrito and protein waffles in which both were pretty good! I ended up getting the Cold brew with a vanilla cream foam on top. The workers seemed all nice and created a great atmosphere.

    I found this place trying to find something to eat before a concert at the Orpheum. This place is SUPER CUTE! I was greeted immediately as I walked in. The gal at the counter was friendly and patient with me since it was my first time. I told her I was hungry and wanted a filling sandwich. She recommended the Italian. And I chose a Dre's cold brew to wash it down. The sandwich was AMAZING! The cold brew had a vanilla cream top. The cold brew was good but I would have liked go the cream too to have been a little sweeter. Overall it was great! I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area.

    Dre's is such a cute coffee shop and it helps that every server or barista are sooo nice! But I do think $11-$13 for a matcha latte is on the steeper side. I would go back only if I was treating myself that day. It is very spacious so seems great for a coworking space.

    Wow! The bagel was delicious and filling! The coffee was my favorite though it was so creamy and the right amount of sweetness!! Staff were quick and friendly and the ambiance was nice!! It was spacey and looks like a great spot to study at while having a quick coffee and meal.

    Friendly staff alright matcha drinks. Kinda pricey but the staff and vibes are pretty chill! They have a large food menu which is a plus for those who want to grab a bite. Staff was really dog friendly which is a plus and lots of seating for those who want to get some work done.

    While out shopping in downtown LA, we came across this place. The ambience looked fun and inviting. There was a lot of people just hanging out. I loved the iced coffee that I shared with my daughter. I would definitely be back!

    Great place to grab a bite and drinks or do some work. Lots of seating available. Interior is super cute. I ordered a breakfast sandwich. And boy oh boy was that tasty. Comes with a runny egg. Bacon and sauce merrier every bite. It was delicious. Also had a matcha latte. The drink had great matcha flavor. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Burrito the salsa is so good

    I love this place so much! From the start up they were across the street serving only in the…read moremornings to growing their business into this new facility serving all day is amazing and it's no small task either! The quality of food is second to none. Not only are the workers and owners just simply fantastic, their food is too. Our favorites are the MCB (nova lox, tomato, onion, capers & plain cream cheese on an everything bagel) and the Loxsmith (nova lox, crispy salmon skin, radish, pickled fennel, dill & beet cream cheese on an everything bagel). The MCB shines above all the other sandwiches for me and it's our favorite breakfast in the morning. Every bagel has the right amount of chewiness that we all love. My family and I would walk and frequent this place every morning to start the day with their fantastic bagels when we lived in the area. Oh how much we miss the living in Highland Park with the awesome shops and restaurants this city has! They also do platters and we've ordered for pick up for our office meetings too and everyone loves it! You can preorder everything online and set a day and time to pick up.

    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.

They offer a few seasonal specialty drinks, including the Carrot Cake Latte, which was absolutely delicious--it really tasted like drinking a slice of carrot cake. The bagels are freshly baked with a great variety to choose from, and you can actually smell the bread baking in the back when you walk in. The blueberry bagel with blueberry compote was outstanding and one of our favorites. We ordered a large spread of bagels, heirloom tomatoes, vegetables, and accompaniments for a pre-wedding "getting ready" brunch with the bride and bridal party. Everything was beautifully packaged and ready for pickup on time, complete with utensils, napkins, and everything we needed to serve and enjoy the meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for our special occasion. We'd definitely order from Laila's again when we're in Santa Monica.
