It was hard to decide whether to get bagels or go up the road to Hogly Wogly. Sometimes we would splurge and just do both. Then go cruisin'. Munch on leftovers all night. Good times. PS: Still cash only. It was entertaining watching the Millennials freaking out . Then looking bewildered when the cashier was counting back change. LOL !!!

The bagels are baked fresh daily and generously loaded with your choice of cream cheese -- and they offer plenty of great options. The customer service is consistently solid, and the staff works quickly and efficiently. Beyond bagels, they have an extensive menu featuring a wide variety of sandwiches and fresh baked goods. My personal favorites are the turkey club panini and the pastrami sandwich -- you really can't go wrong with either. Highly recommend giving this location a visit if you haven't already. As others have mentioned, this spot is cash-only with no seating, as it's designed primarily for pickup and takeout. If you're looking to dine in, the Studio City or Encino locations are better choices.

Plus the branding is cool. Anyway, onto the food and drinks. I ordered an iced matcha and the Marigold sandwich. The matcha was perfect honestly because they gave the option of sweetened or unsweetened. Also, the sandwich was delicious. I was so excited to see something with turkey bacon by default and not regular bacon since I can't have pork. The spread they use on there is really yummy. The menu has a lot of interesting flavors on it. There are some Korean-inspired dishes that I definitely want to try like the Kimchi breakfast tacos. Can't wait to go back! Note: 1. Plenty of seating inside and outside under a tent of sorts. 2. Plus they have a speaker outside so you can hear when your order is called. 3. There's a small parking lot but also a residential area next to it where there's street parking.

That said, the Madagascar vanilla latte was really good - smooth, slightly sweet, and definitely something I'd order again. The burritos were a highlight!! super big portions and satisfying. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality and size, which is always a plus. Staff was nice and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I'd come back, especially for the burritos and that vanilla latte!

The turkey isn't dry at all it's actually so good. Also, if you are sleeping on Western Bagel's iced coffee, DON'T! I went to fill my cup up and saw that they were out of their regular iced coffee and only the vanilla was available. Usually I wouldn't go for vanilla, but I did and I loved it! Great flavor. Thinking about it now I want another one. This morning I went for breakfast and got a lox sandwich. Be sure to specifically if you want your sandwich open faced or not. Delicious as always! Service is always friendly and fast! The whole staff is always so professional. I've been coming to Western Bagel since I was a kid so it will always have a special place in my heart! I love that this location has lots of outdoor seating.

This place is a hit. Try one of each and everything. I love that the sweets are not too sweet, the bagels are fantastic. No matter what you try you won't be disappointed. It's one of those that maked you wanna come back for more. Good quality oils, chocolate was super yummy. I wish they used dark chocolate in the "croissants " but still a big smile on anyone's face who tried them. Service I will say could use more smiles. I wish it was perhaps a bit friendlier but that's okay. Someone may have had an off day. Hopefully better next time. Ambience is cozy, even date worthy. Everything on display was picture perfect.

Was feeling indulgent so I went with the special stuffed pastrami Smoked salmon bagel - basically a warmed up pull apart bagel stuffed with smoked salmon, cream cheese, green onions - heavenly. I got the latke tots as well to round out my carb fest - they are good, little latkes dusted with parmesan and chives with alioi to dip in. Yeah, that was a lot. Maybe I'll go back to my regular Smoked salmon bagel or eggs next time.

Finally tried this place on DoorDash…read more I was delighted to see a fun take on a bagel sandwich with greens and pickled peppers. Added a side of potato salad. The new number 2 bagel was a fun idea but falls fairly flat. The greens were not cooked all the way or with the right seasoning, they were tough and bitter- there was nothing about the sandwich that was sumptuous. (As someone who just had avocado toast with greens and pickled onions and from Mississippi, I know good greens) I'd suggest making a pickled pepper cream cheese and having that support the greens and also cook the greens correctly. The potato salad was crunchy. The only service I've received here is when they told me they were closed and to leave. I wouldn't call it a deli of sorts by any means for ambiance.

Most recently I got the spinach bacon breakfast burrito and it was absolutely delicious. They also have croissant breakfast sandwiches that my husband loves. The croissants are HUGE and they have lots of donuts to choose from. We came by on a Sunday morning and they had plenty of options in the case. We got there around 9:30 and the longer we sat there the busier it got! Lots of families coming here in their pajamas for their morning coffee and donuts. A super locals only joint! I really liked their cold brew and that they I like put the Boba lids on top of their cups so there's no spilling! The one downside is that we had to wait quite a bit for our food (probably because it was a busy weekend morning) but that won't deter me from coming back!

This place is way more than just a donut shop..and I love it! The donuts are fresh with a great variety and reasonable prices, but what really keeps me coming back is the vibe. It's conveniently located off Balboa and Victory, has a decent-sized parking lot, and is perfect for quick stops or snack emergencies. And then there's Judy...the absolute sweetheart who runs the place. She's funny, warm, and you can tell her soul is fully invested in this cozy Lake Balboa donut kingdom. You don't just get donuts here -- you get jokes, good energy, and that "neighborhood spot" feeling. Come for the donut. Leave with snacks, a smile, and probably more than you planned to buy. Highly recommend!

Each time I've visited, the environment has felt uneasy. I understand they deal with a lot of teenagers, but that shouldn't excuse poor customer service. During my last visit, I watched the cashier answer a ringing phone in the middle of helping an elderly customer, talking over him and seeming irritated when he waited for her to finish. It was uncomfortable to see, and it prompted me to leave this review. Good variety doesn't make up for bad service. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're expecting to feel welcomed.
