After we grabbed our cup of joe from The Hide Room, our daughter took us to a bagel shop called Hank's. While my life pahtner is more into sweets, I'm more into savory, so I was happy our daughter was taking us to a spot for a breakfast bagel sandwich. We also ordered a variety of Hank's bagels, which were a struggle to pull apart with your hands and even with a knife, but I really enjoyed my Everything Jalapeño Cheddar bagel. The star of my meal at Hank's was their Number 1 bagel sandwich. That alone warrants a 4.5 star rating. Hank's is located in Burbank, CA., specifically on Riverside Drive and Valley Street. Rose Street is another cross street. It's across from Sweetgreen and Philz Coffee. It's on the same side of Mendocino Farms and just down the road from Bob's Big Boy. The shop is neighbors to Tocaya Organica. Parking is street parking and neighborhood parking, which is where we parked and had to walk about a block to Hank's. There isn't any indoor seating, but there are outdoor covered umbrella seating in front of the shop. It would be challenging to have a large group dine there. The shop is all about their bagels, so the decor is minimal with tshirts hanging on their white walls, a glass display case showing their cream cheeses and other cold items, and a wire rack showing their Dirty Deli Style Potato Chips for sale. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and really helpful. We dined outside and the staff member who brought our food out was also courteous. Hank's is a shop where you order from their register and they call your name out when your food is ready. Hank's is a popular bagel shop with a lot of take out business as there was a steady flow of customers picking up on line, call in, or to go orders. For the variety of bagels we ordered, we ordered Rosemary Sea Salt, Salty Chocolate Chip, and I ordered the Everything Jalapeño Cheddar. The only issue I had with the bagels was how tough it was to tear or cut the bagels. Besides that, the bagels were very flavorful and tasty. Make sure to buy their plain cream cheese and liberally spread it on the bagels. The cream cheese made the bagels even more delicious. My Everything Jalapeño Cheddar bagel was too beautiful to eat. I love spicy, so maybe I'm immune to anything spicy, but I didn't taste any spiciness at all. There was a good amount of jalapeños on top, the cheddar doused the bagel, and I engulfed that bagel. The star of our breakfast meal was the Number 1 bagel sandwich. The number 1 comes with fried egg, choice of either spicy maple-glazed bacon or homemade turkey sausage, sharp cheddar, tomato, and aioli on an onion bagel. I selected the bacon and I loved it. I didn't realize this, but you can place any of their sandwiches on any of their bagels. Next time, I'm doing a sandwich with the Everything Jalapeño Cheddar bagel. The Number 1 sandwich is number 1 for a reason and I don't think you'll regret ordering this sandwich. All of the components combined with the bagel made for satisfying and yummy bites. I inhaled that sandwich and I thought that was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever eaten. We always love spending quality time with our Baby Girl. Spending time with her while eating delicious bagels and sandwiches at Hank's made for a blessed time before our long trek to San Francisco. read more

I've been here multiple times as I live close by. I'll start off by saying that being from the East Coast, it's hard to find a good bagel place out in LA. I've gotten the breakfast sandwiches and bagels with just cream cheese and both are very good. However, I think the price tag cannot be over looked. It's almost $20 for the breakfast sandwich. So if you get 2, it's a $40 breakfast, which is pretty pricy for a restaurant that isn't even a sit down place. This location has 3 tables out front, but we usually take ours to go since we live close. Everyone is always super friendly when we're there, and the line can get very long. I wish this could be my go-to breakfast spot, but I guess I'm not rich enough for that LOL PS: ALWAYS get your bagel toasted. The bagel is wayyy too chewy otherwise, much better when toasted. read more

Super bummed about this spot!! I was craving a delicious bagel so badly and we drove all the way out here to not a happy bagel place. :( Lots of street parking and wide open streets. We parked across and this place was BUSY. Line out the door! Took a while to even get inside this tiny hole in the wall. They have like 3 small tables outside. Super small tables. We luckily got a table after we ordered. Ordering took a bit since the line was out the door. I got the NUMBER 1 (egg, bacon, cheddar, tomato, aioli on everything bagel, toasted) while my bf got a custom one also toasted. Food came out pretty quick and was pretty sad. The fillings were delish BUT THE BAGEL ITSELF WAS SAD. Maybe I'm just used to crunchy/toasted bagels.. this one was insanely chewy that I felt like my teeth were going to fall out. We both asked for toasted and did not get that. I ended up picking and eating the egg and stuff inside and not even eating the bagel and tossing it. Super bummed and sad. Everything would've been so delicious if it had been toasted. Idek if they toasted them because of how chewy they were. Idk! Not my cup of tea, sadly. IG: @ammysalamii read more

The food here is pretty good for a little bagel shop deli. The bagel sandwich I got was packed full of veggies and a bit of turkey too. It's a bit on the expensive side I ordered just a turkey gruyere sandwich on jalapeno everything bagel and it's was $17.88 out the door. The service is a bit sketch, the first time I wanted to try it I went to the register and three staff were debating a $100 they received. I patiently waited and eventually they all just walked away never saying a word to me. This was after spending a good five minutes letting them sort it out. So I walked out not having ordered anything. Today was a bit better I was helped right away by someone and I'm glad I gave them another chance. It's a sidewalk deli so you're on Alameda it's kind of loud but if you have a hankering for a bagel sandwich and are in the area they are good. read more

EXPENSIVE!! Let me start my review by saying that the quality of the bagels I got today, wasn't worth the price that I paid. 3 bagels & an Orange Juice costed me $39.00 even. Could have had breakfast/lunch for that price at Bob's Big Boy, a few restaurants down. Walked in today around 12:45pm and got a nice welcome from Shane H. He was pleasant, with a pretty smile. Very welcoming. These are what I ordered: #1 Onion Bagel that came with Spicy Maple Bacon, Cheddar cheese, tomato slice and Aioli. (toasted) #2 Everything Bagel (toasted) add Avocado (+$3.50) that came with Fried Egg, Braised Greens, Gruyere, Spicy Marinated Peppers & Aioli. I also got 1 Salty Chocolate Chip bagel ($3.00) and an OJ for $5.50. Both of the bagels were not well toasted and were very hard to chew. No public restroom, no parking and limited patio seating outside right in the front of the shop. I think I will stick to my Einstein Bagel or other bagel shops that's not as messy (bagel wise) & not as expensive as Hanks! Place was clean, and baskets were somewhat full. They close early. 2pm. There is no seating area in their shop. It's mostly a spot for to-go and pickup orders. read more

Let me tell you! These were by far some of the best bagels I've had. I grew up in LA and am so proud that a bagel renaissance is occurring on the west coast, especially in LA. I was fortunate enough to grow up eating great bagels and these are so far my favorite. Now to the bagels. They had a crisp crust with a slight chew, soft crumb and mild sourdough tang. Seeding was generous and flavor was well developed. Great micro-blistering on the crust. The service was also excellent. Quick ordering and quick delivery. Amazing customer service. A must stop for locals and travelers alike. read more

Finally made my visit to Hank's and it did not disappoint. My father described it correctly: the bagels are like a legit French baguette: harder on the outside and soft in the inside. Deeelicious sandwiches. I was recommended the rosemary sea salt, and man, getting some odd bites of salt was so nice! Tried the pizza bagel too. Reminding me of my childhood days when that was quite popular... we got number 3 and 6 and would come back again. Also bought a plain smear. It's not a big place. No seats inside, just a few outside. Not much room to move around. Be prepared to wait unless you get there early! read more

Hank's Bagels - ROSEMARY SEA SALT NUMBER 6 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burbank, California

4* Value 3.5* Food 5* Service 4* Ambiance As advertised, the service is friendly, making our morning meal delightful. Limited seating outside with no available space to dine inside, this small bagel and sandwich place is best for a pick-up and go, as seating is limited. The coffee is good, but it is not made to order. The sourdough taste shines through in the bagels. Our favorite bagel here is the everything bagel; rosemary, poppyseeds, onion, and garlic topings really enhance the flavor of our sandwiches. We ordered the turkey sausage and bacon sandwiches; both were flavorful, and the portions were generous. The turkey sausage was perhaps the largest I have ever had, and it was delicious. A little difficult to bite into our sandwiches, as the fillings fall out easily, which could be due to the texture of the bagel itself. I would like to try a basic bagel and cream cheese here to get a better insight into these crafted sourdough bagels. read more

Was heading to Burbank airport and wanted to grab something quick on the way. Hank's Bagels popped up and they had online ordering so we decided to give it a try. We're so glad we placed our order online because the line was out the door when we got there on a Sunday afternoon. I did a build-your-own bagels with an onion bagel, scallion spread, adding capers. The #3 is actually similar but is loaded with a ton more toppings (like sprouts, tomatoes, dill, etc.). My order was really good but I think I'll try the preset next time. The scallion spread is really creamy and yummy and works well with the lox and capers. My husband order the #2 (fried egg, braised greens, Gruyère, peppers, and aioli) and loved it! The peppers caught his eye since he usually likes things with a little kick. We were hesitant because of the braised greens, but it actually worked really well. It was basically savory breakfast sandwich in bagel form. Would recommend adding a protein next time to make it a more complete meal. This sandwich is really messy though! Come prepared with napkins. read more

Bagels are still good, but I have a gripe. When you buy $40 worth of bagels and cream cheese, they should slice them for you WITHOUT CHARGING AN ADDITIONAL FEE. This is some really ticky tack nickel and diming for something that takes them virtually no time using a slicer they already own and otherwise use. This also demonstrates a lack of care toward their customers, given that so many people visit ERs after trying to slice through bagels (and accidentally also slice their hands open). It absolutely colors my view of Hank's, and it costs them at least 3 stars for stinginess and lousy customer service. read more

Hank's bagels are excellent on their own. While I prefer Bagel Boss cream cheese, you really can't go wrong with Hank's they have the authentic taste of a real bagel. read more

First time here & I'll definitely be back. I got the #3 Nova Lox the works on an everything bagel. It was LOADED and sooo delish. Nice staff and quick service. It's street parking only which can be a pain in the area but worth it. There's a few tables outside to sit at and a door for pickup orders. read more

I ordered a pickup through Hank's online system and it was super easy. The order said it would be ready in about 15-20 minutes, which was perfect because that's about how long it took me to get there. Parking was a little tricky at first, but if you go around the back on a side street, you can find a spot pretty easily. The place itself is super cute and very pickup-friendly. There's a clear spot to check in and let them know you're there for a pickup order. I told them my name and my order was ready to go. When I got home, I was sooo excited. I ordered the #1 and added onion absolutely delicious. The bacon had just the right amount of heat, the bagel was perfectly soft, and the aïoli tied everything together beautifully. I'll definitely be back, and my sister will be coming here even more often since she lives nearby. read more

I stopped by Hank's for a bagel and coffee. The rosemary sea salt bagel did not disappoint! They did pile on the cream cheese just a bit too much--enough for two full bagels. I had to wipe some off! Nevertheless, the bagel and cream cheese was delicious and filling. The coffee was perfectly brewed. Service was fast and friendly! I will definitely be coming back to try a sandwich for lunch. read more

When the food is so good but you cannot support their business because of actual slave labor. Never seen such sweaty stressed out kitchen employees in my life. I actually feel guilty buying food here, the management is obviously just trying to squeeze as much juice as humanly possible from these poor human beings probably making minimum wage. I can't support this. read more

The bagels were just okay to me, nothing special. I specified that I wanted both bagels toasted but only one was. The untoasted one was really hard to bite into and the cream cheese just exploded everywhere. Maybe I got unlucky but I'm not sure I would go back. read more

I love these bagels! Easily my favorite place to get a bagel sandwich and they never disappoint. I recommend ordering ahead of time since they do take a while.

Service is quick and they are timely with pickup times. read more

This bagel was sooooo good!!! The ingredients were so fresh and the angry cc and vegan aioli are delicious.

Hank's Bagels - NUMBER 4 with angry cc - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burbank, California

Definitely yummy but needs to be eaten right away otherwise the bagel becomes hard to chew. Not a New York bagel or even close but decent for an easy breakfast or lunch. Parking 5/10 depending when you go you could easily grab a spot or it can be complicated and involve a walk. They don't have their own lot so it's street parking. Online orders seem to be huge here so even though you order in person and don't see a lot of people be prepared to wait, you'll see a lot of people come and grab their online orders. I tried the Rosemary sea salt bagel, it was decent but a little on the saltier side. I got this with their turkey, aioli and veggies, pretty decent but messy. For being a bagel shop I expected cream cheese on their sandwiches but instead it's their signature dressing which is very delicious just messy and runny read more

If you're looking for a "bagel" made for the Iron Jawed community, that is immune to all bread knives, then look no further. Any attempt to cut (as pictured) or apply any bite pressure will result in a cream cheese blast radius of 4 quarts of cream cheese covering your plate, hands or entire face. This should only be consumed in the privacy of your own home, alone. Make sure you're not even eating it in front of your partner if you have one-- don't want to give them the ick. Just grab some bagels & Philly cream cheese from the grocery store. read more

I would like to start with that the staff was lovely and very helpful. However, I will not be purchasing bagels from here again. All I ordered was a flavored bagel, toasted with plain smear. The bagel was slightly warm, not toasted and the cream cheese was the consistency of sour cream. It was the most disappointing bagel. What made it offensive was the total was almost $8 for this depressing sandwich. No thank you I'll take my bagel crave elsewhere. read more

Last morning in Burbank and we were craving a solid breakfast bagel sandwich. Quick search and we found this spot. Found some street parking nearby and walked in around 9ish on Monday morning. Quite small inside but they have a great system!! Smelled so fresh with all their bagels! Quick peruse of their menu and we decided on their #1. The gentleman at the register was very sweet and greeted us as well! I got mine on a toasted sesame seed bagel while my friend got hers on their rosemary and sea salt bagel. This breakfast sandwich was so so good and filled with so much!! Their eggs were perfect as not too runny, the thick maple glazed bacon strips were crispy and sweet, and the bagel was everything you want in a bagel! Great flavor, tasted fresh, and toasted was amazing! Oh and the aioli gave it a lil extra delicious pa-zazz! Will definitely be back!! read more

I've only ordered delivery through Hank's so I can't speak on the actual restaurant and seating but the food here was great!

I will be back and next time will try to go in person! read more

I agree with the other reviews saying the bagels are hard to chew. While I appreciate that there's a lot of stuff that comes in the bagel, it does get pretty messy. I ordered the number one and an onion bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was a lot of cream cheese! Maybe I didn't order the best item, but the flavors were a bit disappointing. Also just a heads up that they do run out and close early when it is busy! read more

It's nice when it rains ...it hardly does in LA You smell the "Petrachor" in the air ... from the wet pavement ... says the Bagel girl handing me my bagel... "The Petrachor" I ask... She says ... "it's the smell of rain when it hits the ground..." "Petrachor" I add... I tell the girl..."you gotta have a nose for the streets to smell the Petrachor on pavement - you're a street connoisseur " She laughs... (by the way that exchange never happened - it happened in my mind) But she DID educate me on the word... "Petrachor" So not only do they perfect the art of bagel making ... they're future American novelists as well... Pure professionalism oozing out of every corner of this place... There's a gopnick looking dude in the back tending to the ovens... he doesn't say a word.. all business... Every freshly baked bagel is done every morning to perfection...thanks probably to the gopnick looking dude in the back ... How did I not know about this place before... It's like I got a new lease on life... I Got a coffee... And my wife wanted an avocado shmear sesame bagel non toasted ... "good" she says... And that's ALL she said... Back on the road again...

Bagel time. Bring your dog(s) and head straight to Hank's, on Riverside Drive where Burbank meets Toluca Lake (just a few feet from Bob's Big Boy). Run don't walk, as many favorites are gone by late morning. I'm a salt bagel guy and these round ones hit the spot. Perfect blend of toasted chewy bagel and plenty of salt. Cream cheese spread, yes thanks, and they do not skimp; it's busting out all over the place when your bagel top and bottom are smashed together. There are lots of bagel sandwich options and toppings (onion, cucumber, avocado, bacon). Almost minus one star for outdoor seating only; I don't like to eat outside but they made this as pleasant as it can be, with a few tables outside to watch the Range Rovers go by. Extra charge if you DON'T bring a dog to Hank's. Arf! read more

Good bagels, even if they use 2 cups of cream cheese. I also like the potato salad but the last time I got it they used huge chunks of potato. Like they just quartered a mini potato and chucked it in. All I could taste was plain potato and skin. Ya gotta make the pieces way smaller. Idk, if you're into that then this is the place for you. read more

Hank's Bagels - NUMBER 6 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burbank, California

As a New Yorker it's very difficult to find a good bagel in LA, that can meet my expectations. Reason why I don't even bother consuming bagels in SoCal. Last time I ate a very good NY style bagel was at Bagels Lepu in Mexico City, from a former NYC Jew who launched her own bagel shop/cafe. But Hank's is the closest thing to a NY style bagel with the exterior texture and chewy inside. It's not perfect as an Ess-a-Bagel on 1st Avenue in Manhattan, yet it'll suffice for Cali standard. My go to is the rosemary sea salt and bialy bagels for take-out. read more

As a former New Yorker, I've been eager to try all the bagels across LA to see if they measure up to the bagels I loved during my childhood and teenage years. Hank's is good, but I found it a bit overwhelming. I got the Number 3 (Hank's gravlax, scallion cream cheese, capers, radish, pickled onion, salted cucumber, sprouts, tomato, dill). It's a hefty sandwich. I got it on the EJC (everything bagel with jalapeno and cheddar). There were so many bells and whistles that I didn't really get to taste the bagel. When I go back next time, I hope to evaluate it on a more plain bagel. read more

Stopped by to grab a bagel while visiting from Boston as we don't have good bagels here. You can order either a bagel or a bagel sandwich.

Ive been coming to Hanks since 2021 (Sherman Oaks location) and was so glad when the burbank one opened. Bagels are so tasty. Rosemary seasalt is my favorite. The staff are always on top of things and are pleasant. The one ding is that EVERY time I've ordered hot coffee (many, many times) it seems like the lids don't fit the cup correctly and I end up with hot coffee all over my hands. read more

These bagels are huge and delicious. We picked up No. 3 and No. 5 - both with toasted rosemary salt bagels. They were so good and the filling was STACKED. Pickup was quick, we ordered online just 10 minutes prior. My only caveat with the bagel was that it was a little too tough. It made it difficult to eat the sandwich and you'd be gnawing into the bagel just to get a good bite. And you end up with the filling spilling outwards when trying to take a bite out of the bagel. Not the worst, especially because it was delicious - but that's why I docked it down by a star. read more
