    Everything bagel with plain cream cheese and OJ
    Yolanda W.

    I have only had Hanks bagels from their food truck because they have been at my place of work for events several times (you could probably guess where I work from the last pic ) And every time.......they never disappoint The customer service is always pleasant and fast I usually get the everything bagel with the plain cream cheese and their freshly squeezed OJ reminds me of home. Don't forget to toast your bagel!

    NUMBER 1 with Strawberry Jam
    Bobbi B.

    Get the number 1. Add Strawberry Jam. Just trust me! This sandwich was so delectable I thought about it for 24 hours straight, literally. I had the sandwich for the first time yesterday. Thought about it all day long, went back again today. I'm eating the sandwich right now and am just delighted. Never have I ever had such a flavor explosion! I told every single person I know yesterday to go to Hank's bagels and get the Number 1, add strawberry jam. Thanks Hank!!!

    The amount of turkey versus other stuff.

    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.

    Everything bagel and Rosemary Salt bagels. So good. Soft and chewy. We brought them home to lightly toast them. Smothered with scallion cream cheese and butter. Wow so much flavor. Quick counter service with some table seating on the sidewalk. Delicious and yummy breakfast.

    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

    My friend put me on hanks and im obsessed! The underrated standout item is their potato salad! Their sourdough bagel varieties are great and i really enjoyed the lox bagel. It's quite pricy however but huge. If you're a bagel fan, worth spending the money to try them. If you're not a bagel fanatic, you'd probably be okay with getting more affordable options. Service is always lovely and it's typically quite busy. Not much to say about the ambience because it's small but You can find limited outdoor seating if needed.

    Orange Juice & a cup of ice..
    Shushanik P.

    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.

    Everything Jalapeño Cheddar bagel.
    David L.

    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.

    First time at this location. I have been to the one in Sherman Oaks a few times. Love their bagels. Always fresh and delicious. The sandwiches are so good. They are fully loaded with good ingredients. The white fish bagel sandwich I ordered today was amazing. My husband and I loved it. The lox was good as well. It's my most favorite everywhere I go. Again it's fully loaded here at Hank's. It's under $20 and it will make you full. Easily sharable if you are not too hungry. Customer service was friendly and welcoming. There are a few tables outside on the curb which was nice to seat and enjoy our bagels. They serve coffee and iced drinks. It's a great place of you are craving bagels. Freshhhh baked daily every morning.

    ROSEMARY SEA SALT NUMBER 6
    Kaori T.

    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!

    I had the Lox Bagel, and it was delicious! The smoked salmon was fresh, and the bagel itself was excellent. My only suggestion would be to go a little lighter on the cream cheese next time, as there was a bit too much for my taste. Aside from that, everything was fantastic. The bagels are great, the lox was flavorful, and the service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. Great food and even better service--I'll definitely be back!

    Turkey, aioli, sprouts, tomato, and pickled onions on an everything bagel
    Hailey Z.

    I've been on the hunt for the best bagel joint in my area. I had to build my own, there's an up charge for everything which is crummy, and by the time I was done my sandwich was $17 and some change. It wasn't gold dipped, but it was incredibly good. My husband got an egg salad sandwich on an onion bagel and he would like to try something else, but he said the bagel itself was very good. My teenager said that there was just too much going on the top of her everything bagel, but said the schmear was great and the bottom of the everything bagel itself was also great. I also got half a dozen with everything, onion, chocolate, and plain bagels with a container of schmear to go and it's very hard to tell the differences between the plain, chocolate, and onion bagels from looking at them. When you arrive, there is no parking lot to park in, only street parking. Street parking is difficult if you want to park right in front of the place, if you don't mind a walk, you can find a spot in the surrounding area. Employees are kind. The place inside is tiny, there are spots outside the sit to eat if you wanted to eat there. I can't wait to try this place again so I can try something new.

    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.

    Will they scramble an egg so the yolk isn't separate/runny?

    I've been here a few times and I haven't had a runny yolk yet. I didn't think much of it at the time, maybe I just got a slightly over cooked egg? Either way, based on my experience I think it's safe to say they can accommodate a request for a… 

    Are all the bagels vegan?

    Most, but not all of them. The couple of times I have been here staff confidently have been able to tell me which are and are not.

    Any gluten free options?

    No they don't have any gluten free bagels but they do have salads, drinks, and other items that are gluten free

    What is their angry cream cheese spread?

    Sweet and spicy (honey and habanero)

    Do you have bagel chips?

    Yes! Sometimes they do :) You can always check their online ordering menu to see when it's available.

    Are the bagels made with eggs?

    No. The only bagel made with eggs is the actual "egg bagel", which is a special only. Not part of the regular lineup.

    Can you call orders for pick up?

    Only during the week. They don't answer phones on the weekends because it's insanity. If you catch them in a slow period on weekends they'll take your phone order. Doesnt hurt to call and try!

    Do they have bialeys?

    Yes

    Is this a good place to grab a bite to eat and work on your laptop?

    When the weather is nice they have a great patio area thats very quiet and shaded. I worked there last week for 2 hours.

First off, the bagel itself deserves some love -- perfectly chewy with that classic NY-style texture (NY water really does make a difference). It had that fresh, slightly crisp exterior with a soft, satisfying bite inside. The Texas Brisket was tender and flavorful, with that rich, savory depth you want from good brisket. The Big City Pastrami Egg was equally comforting -- warm, creamy egg paired with soft, well-seasoned pastrami that wasn't overly salty. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Portion-wise, the filling might lean a little modest, but the quality absolutely makes up for it. It felt balanced rather than overloaded, and left us satisfied without feeling heavy -- perfect pre-movie fuel. If you're craving a well-made bagel sandwich with quality ingredients and classic flavors done right, this is a great stop. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

Decent coffee and beverage offerings so it's a good place if you're craving a bagel.

The bagel comes with cream cheese, salmon, dill, capers, tomato, onion, lemon and olive oil and black pepper. The combination of flavors is ridiculous. Every single ingredient is fresh and high quality. All of the ingredients add something to the bagel and make it a perfect bagel imo. I think this place must fly their tomatoes in straight from Eden, as in the garden. I have never had a fresher, great tasting and beautiful tomato as I did here. I know that's wild to say about something like a tomato but it's the truth. I don't even eat tomatoes in that form, it was the first bite of a sliced tomato I ate in over 20 years. It looked so great I had to try it, especially because I wanted to eat the bagel in its most genuine form. My Wife loves bagels, it is one of her favorite foods. It was her favorite bagel as well. We ended up going here twice. We went on our last day of vacation prior to heading to the airport. I got a plain bagel with butter and honey, WhatKevEats inspired the order.

My favorite out of all of them are the sesame bagels, but the burnt ones are pretty good too. I've had a sandwich here and while they are really really good, I personally feel it's better to just buy the bagel plain and the ingredients (or custom ingredients) and just make them yourself. It's not really that hard. I did that this time. I bought a bunch of bagels, then turned them into breakfast sandwiches. One thing that's random though is every time I'm craving a bagel, it just happens to be on the day they're closed haha. Then I have to remember that I wanted a bagel for the rest of the week and then go. But this time I did!!! I'm so glad I remembered because I absolutely love these bagels. The service here is really good. The ambiance is chill if you sit on the patio. It's nice. I don't usually turn my gps on when I come here though so sometimes I accidentally drive right by it because I miss the yellow umbrella. For some reason I can't remember exactly what street it's on but there's always a bunch of street parking so it's a nice place to go to. I should come here a lot more.

I love that it's family-owned; you can taste the passion they put into their food. Every breakfast sandwich feels homemade and fresh -- real QUALITY. The donuts are incredibly soft! They might not be covered in flashy decorations, but the freshness and flavor speak for themselves -- that's what makes them worth it. Thank you to the two ownere for your care and dedication. You've definitely gained a loyal customer -- I'll be coming back again and again!

    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.
