Best bagels I've had. And very kind and wonderful people. Recently they shipped bagels to a friend who was at the end of his life -- they helped me ship a package of his favorite bagels and Larrupin sauce to him. I was worried the bagels would not get there in time, but they did -- I was kept apprised of the shipment which really helped me process which really meant a lot to me. The nice woman who took care of everything was so kind and understanding. read more

I grew up in Humboldt County, but moved away a few years ago. Whenever I come to town, I go get a bagel before I even go to see my Mom. Thank god you can order bagels online. read more

Los Bagels is a go-to place when visiting Humboldt Nation. They have some tasty baked items, but what do we all go there for: bagels. Actually, the last two items I had there were "slugs". They're basically "everything" bagels which aren't rolled into a circle, but kept as a straight line....well, I guess they look like 6-inch long slugs! I get mine toasted w/ cream cheese and some Larrapin sauce. Man, that will smack you upside the head in goodness. read more

I met Bill at a #Humboldt event and was intrigued by the story. I'll be honest, I'm an east coast guy with a pension for H&H Bagels, but when I walked into Los Bagels I was sold! Great friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Bagel books for cooks and kids. Good local coffee and the fresh bagels behind the counter. I had a Sushi bagel sandwich on a Jalepeno bagel and it was fantastic! Wasabi cream cheese, fresh lox, sesame seeds and cucumber! A combination I would have never invented but I'm glad I discovered. Thanks Los Bagels for delivering a redwood experience that beat my east coast expectations for a great bagel! I'll be back! read more

I got turned on to this place when I saw an advertisement in their window about homemade matzo. They were out, but then I knew a good place to take my honey for lunch when we got to Eureka one afternoon on our way to a concert at Humboldt State. He's Jewish, and knows about stuff like that. Anyhow, he had the bagel with lox, and I forget what I had, after I got a bite of his. I've never had lox before, and it was insanely yummy. We got some hummis to go, to use the next day for sandwiches....but ended using it for dip all afternoon, and it never made it to the next day. I wish I was in Eureka this afternoon - I'd be dropping by for a take out snack.... read more

I'm probably biased having grown up in Humboldt (or maybe we're just extremely lucky), but these are the best bagels I've had in my life. Good and chewy, not dry, perfectly seasoned. You also have to love the interesting fusion thing they have going on here and unique artwork. My favorite: toasted slug with cream cheese, fresh tomato slices (they always have excellent ones), and thin red onion slices. Last time I went home I tried to convince my boyfriend to drive here just so I could bring some back down to the bay area with me. read more

My favorite Bagel restaurant in the country. I own the cookbook and make their guacamole recipe at least once a month. How many times did I roll into their patio area, claim a seat, and sit there with my cream cheese, lox, and guacamole bagel waiting for the ever-possible close friend to show up after a long night at play? You people who've lived the Arcata scene know what I'm talking about. I have long-since moved away, but the memories are clear and this bagel shop will always rule in my book. read more

We visited Los Bagels while on vacation last year and we STILL talk about it. The guac and lox bagel was memorable! We sat in the little corner of the shop, by the window, and people watched while we ate. It was the perfect start to the day. (We were road-tripping down from Portland.) read more

The bagels here are pretty good, however, the inside of this restaurant is a bit dingy and I would go so far as to say dirty. The seating is also very tight. This is a good place for a quick grab-and-go meal but not somewhere I typically would want to sit down for a prolonged period of time. Beyond all of this, the radio commercials are straight up annoying. read more

This is a popular / busy place. They do have a huge variety of bagel options, including a gluten free everything bagel. The coffee was acceptable. read more

I miss this small shop. I'm not a bagel person, but i do enjoy eating their croissants (or "kwassant"), especially their chocolate one. Yummy! What I enjoy the most is their mexican hot chocolate. For those who havent tried mexican hot chocolate, it has nutmeg and cinnamon mixed in. I've yet to find another coffee shop that can match Los Bagel's hot chocolate. When i come back to Humboldt county, I'll be sure to come back to this shop. read more

They have great variety, I love their veggie delight on a toasted slug. Can't go wrong! Service is always quick and friendly. read more

Los Bagels - Veggie delight , I get it every time! - Bakeries Near Me - Arcata, California

This morning was the best experience I've had there. The two guys working were very cool. Last few times I had nervous/uncomfortable people makin all sorts of mess. Maybe I should limit my visits to Friday mornings only. Espresso drinks are great, cookies/pastries good, & well, the bagels. Yeah. Get some. I would've left 3 stars, due to past experiences, but the employees today really came together, battling for a victory that could define their dreams, like in last year's release of Step Up: All In. read more

We have breakfast at Los Bagels almost every Saturday morning. As locals, we love this place. The bagels are unique and the topping combinations are endless. Try the slug bagel! Their pastries are top notch. A must eat if you are in Humboldt. read more

Los Bagels is a must eat at place. It doesn't matter if you're a local or just passing through, if you're hungry for a bagel I would highly recommend it. These are the best bagels I've ever had. Having grown up in the area and then leaving for college I was sad to leave it but my family would ship me bagels they were so good. The shop has a nice Mexican cultural feel and carries things like Mexican sweet bread. The shop also carries traditional Jewish foods like Challah bread and matzah balls since the owner is both Mexican and Jewish. I can't say enough good things about this place. Just go. read more

Los Bagels - Today I had the Huevos Los Bagels with bacon on a multigrain bagel. It was delicious. - Bakeries Near Me - Arcata, California

This is by far the BEST bagel place I've ever been to in my entire life. I love the atmosphere and the corbels staff. My favorite is the seafood combo on the multicultural bagel, love how is topped with several types of smoked fish on top of a nicely applied pillow of cream cheese, piled high with chopped black olives and drizzled with larupin mustard sauce. Absolute perfection. My beverage of choice is orangina which pairs well with the seafood combo. I can't wait to return to one of my tastebuds favorite places. read more

Great bagels! Love their hummus and salmon spreads. Usually pretty quick even if the line is out the door. Good coffee too and sweet treats.

I'm in love with the slug bagel. Every bagel is good. Remember, don't forget your larrupin sauce.

Bagels are kinda pricy for what they are but they taste pretty good. Its always really hot in there and crowded and its why I gave it such low stars because its almost a suffering amount of heat in there. The food is good though but I don't think its good enough to justify the price. read more

wow.... My first impression was "Nice they have papel picado and are also selling bags with labels saying 'hecho en mexico' this place might be my new bagel spot" I then took a look around and see "slug slime" on the menu hmm very interesting... I take a look at the menu in search of something Mexican related because how can the owner profit from selling Mexican made things but not Mexican styled bagels aside from just adding chorizo. I was very disappointed... It almost felt like naming it Los Bagels was to justify selling culturally Mexican accessories inside. read more

I've been eating bagels my whole life. I grew up in NY where bagels for breakfast are more common than donuts or cereal or bacon egg n cheese sandwiches. That being said I would not consider myself the be-all-end-all of bagel knowledge. The truth is bagels vary from place to place and everybody has thier favorites. That was a long backstory just to say, these bagels are OK but very expensive. If they were average size then they would be overpriced but, seeing as how these bagels are about 2/3 the size of a normal bagel, it's pretty much a rip-off. I dont know what it is about Humboldt but it seems that every category of food (sandwich shop, bbq, bagels, etc) has just 1 decent place and that place charges an arm and a leg just because they can. Isn't it supposed to be about peace and love up here? If Los Bagels were located anywhere else I would give them 2 stars. However, as bad as the pricing may be, they could make worse bagels and charge the same amount and people would still have to buy them. So they get an extra star for not going total Robber Baron on us. read more

This bagel joint is the bees knees. The bagels are soft yet crisp on the outside. The sandwiches are a fusion of delicious flavors. "The Cucumbin," my sandwich of choice on a Parmesan bagel certainly hits the spot. It has cukes, cream cheese, larrupin (a kind of mustard), and their slug slime sauce which is tangy and sweet. The service is friendly and the restaurant is sunshiny and well decorated. The one thing I would caution is that the cream cheese application is a bit heavy- if that's not your style, be sure to ask. read more

What can I say? I always get a slug... because I can. Garlic. Pesto cream cheese and chopped black olives. I love the dense Jewish type bagel they make. Neat trick: buy the day olds, freeze them. Take one out nuke it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and then cut and toast it. Same perfect texture. Great for those of us who don't live locally but still want some bagels occasionally. I've been getting bagels from here since I was born (almost). Coffee is decent but not out of this world. Bagel makes up for it though. Still 5 stars. read more

I was in Humboldt County for the weekend and went twice to this place. The bagels were okay. The first time, I ordered a multigrain raisin bagel, and the second time I got an onion bagel. I just wasn't impressed because it wasn't anything stellar. Locals rave about this place, but I didn't get the the hype. The customer service also left a lot to be desired. I think this establishment could benefit from using a number system to prepare orders. Everyone was huddling close to the counter waiting for their order to be called. The people working the counter weren't very friendly, though I get they were super stressed dealing with the crowd. I did like that they are fairly quick, and I loved all the merchandise they had available for purchase. I got a cool bag and free calendar with my purchase. read more

Love this local bakery. Bagels aren't just for cream cheese. They have super creative toppings. My favorite is the veggie delight. Must top everything with Larrupin! It's a locally made mustard dill sauce. Excellent pastries and coffees too read more

Get a slug, and you'll be hooked. This place is a Humboldt Original. I love their products, their restaurants, their style, and their quality. Location: 3.5 stars Atmosphere: 4.5 stars Service: 3.5 stars Menu selection: 4 stars Return-factor: 5 stars Last impression: 4.5 stars read more

I kind of hate Los Bagels, but only because they have ruined every other bagel place for me. These bagels are chewy and almost dense -- a much better mouthfeel than anything I've found in the Bay Area. Plus you can get them with Larrupin's. BEAT THAT, POSH BAGEL! Even better than the bagels though? The corn-lime cookies. You might be thinking, "WTF? Corn-lime cookies?" I know I did. But they are made with cornmeal, giving them an amazing texture, and paired with tart, tangy lime juice/zest. They are sweet, but refreshing and light (probably deceivingly... I suspect there's a heckuva lot of butter in them). I could probably eat a dozen. I routinely eat a half-dozen. Go eat at least one for me. read more

I salivate at the thought of Los Bagels and no visit to the area is complete without at least one stop there. It's the atmosphere, it's the Hispanic-Jewish-Kosher thing, it's the cool staff, it's the local products, it's the mural, it's just such simple baked goods and everything else they have that are perfect. And I will admit that a small part is my missing living up there, but still, the place is great. And the Mexi-mocha? Seriously, can I just stick a straw in that giant Thermos and take my time workin' on that? read more

So my sister brought down some bagels from Los Bagels, I thought to myself, big deal a bagel is a bagel.. I was so dead wrong. These happen to be the most scrumdiddlyumptious bagels I have ever tasted. I'm not one for Everything or Onion bagels, but they are so freakin good!! I like the Cheese Bagels and the Cinnamon Raisin ones too!! So cant wait to go there, on my next trip up to my mommas! So Los Bagels- Props to YOU!! all the way from San Diego! Oh and Word to being a Mexican themed Jewish Bagelery !! Us Mexicano Jews are a very rare breed! read more

There are nothing like Los Bagels Bagels. I recommend getting a slug toasted with cream cheese and a side of Larapin sauce. Ask for the Larapin sauce on the side or it might get a little messy while eating. If you want to get additions like salmon or lox then prices start getting a little expensive. A definite must try for anyone living in Arcata read more

When I first told my sister I never had a bagel from here, she thought I was crazy. Finally, today I got to try it. I'm not one that really likes cream cheese, but wow has Los Bagels changed me. Got a bagel with cream cheese and lox for lunch. Seriously, delicious. From the soft, amazing bagel, to the perfect tasting cream cheese, and the perfect lox on top... Best bagel ever. read more

Our first time here, I tried the Wild Turkey with the sun-dried tomato spread (very flavorful), while my boyfriend had the seafood combo (which he enjoyed), and we both tried the mexi-mochas (delicious!). We are looking forward to coming back here :) read more

We love this place and have been enjoying their bagels, slugs and slug slime... it's a topping for years.

Great food, delicious Chai, and a welcoming, fun group of people serving behind the counter. Overall, really enjoyed this location and the vibe it has. read more

Great place to grab breakfast. We always go here when we are visiting Arcata. Their gluten free bagels are good and their house made guacamole is the best. Super crowded on the weekend so go in with a relaxed attitude and will be glad you did. Worth the wait. read more

On a vacation trip, we decided to stop by Los Bagels. We love how welcoming and enticing the atmosphere is. The cultural displays are very appealing. We weren't even ready to order because we were so caught up in the look of the place. When it came time to order, my daughter said "surprise me" and gave the server some of her favorite ingredients and he threw together a yummy surprise just for her. I love how they were able to roll with her on this. read more

Was really disappointed that the bagels took more than 15 minutes to receive. By then, the "toasted" bagels weren't even warm anymore. Note that we were the only ones in line, so being busy shouldn't have been an excuse. They also skimped on the lox and cream cheese. read more

On a road trip with my boyfriend, we stopped in Arcata for a few days to go hiking in the Redwoods. We came here for breakfast both days and it was so good. We split n shared a Cucumbin and Seafood special the first day and they were both Delicious. The second day my boyfriend decided to get a Veggie Delight with a curry spread at 7 am. I don't recommend doing that! But the Guac and Lox more than made up for it. Too bad the nearest location to LA is so far! I'm giving them 4 stars because as good as it is, $8 for a bagel is a bit much. read more

A hometown favorite! And a MUST to visit! :) My favorite: A slug, toasted with cream cheese, tomato, and a side of the famous larrupin sauce! YUM!!!! Now if only they would be open between Christmas and New Years (hint hint) for the out of town locals to come get their favorite grub every time they visit! read more

This Jewish/Mexican bagel shop is the "cream cheese" of the crop! Absolutely fantastic! The selection of bagels is wide and super delicious... not to mention you can get one for a mere .85 cents per bagel. I've tried the onion and the garlic bagels. My friend has told me that the sesame bagels are wonderful too. Los Bagels also has a selection of sandwich and specialty bagels. I've been twice and I tried a Thai bagel and a Cucumbin when I was there. Including a cup of orange spice tea, I was able to eat for under $5 both times. I can't say enough about how delicious their sauces are either. My room mate introduced me to their Larrupin' Goods, a Swedish mustard dill sauce. It tastes fantastic on practically anything you'd eat mustard on and then some. When I was at Los Bagels, I tried the jalapeno jelly. Equally delicious. If I lived in Eureka, I'd be eating a Los Bagels A LOT to say the least. Great way to start the morning! read more
