03.14.2026 We were in town for a track meet and this cute little bakery was conveniently located across the street from the hotel we were staying at. My daughter had to be at her meet by 6:45, so I showed up at 6:15 to pick up some bagels for breakfast. No one was in there when I arrived but the employees seemed to be working on take out orders already. Their menu had the right amount of breakfast type of bagel sandwiches that I was looking for - a bagel with cream cheese, a bagel & egg only sandwich, and a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. The bagel consistency was nice and chewy. The only qualm was with hubby's order. I asked for easy on the cream cheese and his bagel ended up with A LOT of it on his bagel so he had to scrape it off. Usually I'd eat the extra cream cheese but I had a bagel breakfast sandwich instead. *Note for next time: Get the bagel sliced and toasted with the cream cheese on the side I also picked up a loaf of their sourdough bread. Hubby is picky about sourdough but he really enjoyed the tang/flavor of their bread. It would definitely be somewhere to stop by when we're passing through or in the area again. read more

We are reviewing bagel shops around the South Bay and this has been one of our favorites. For me, I love a rye bagel and only had been able to find them at Goldsteins which sadly closed years ago. Pumpernickel is more widely available but not a good substitute. Bagels are chewy and very flavorful. We usually buy a half dozen with a cream cheese tub and toast them at home. What we don't eat that day go in the freezer. The staff does an adequate job taking orders but it always amuses me how 3 varieties of 6 bagels becomes a memory challenge that requires multiple times repeating the order. This has been true at every one of the half dozen bagel shops we have visited. There is plenty of parking behind the store and the seating inside is adequate as well. The electronic menu boards suffer from the same shortcoming that every establishment that uses them. You need to wait until the screen that you want to read pops up again. Would recommend for great bagels. At this point, haven't tried the sandwiches or anything else on the menu except for the rye bread loaf which didn't pack the same punch as the bagels. read more

I like the service, the convenience of this place. Been coming here since a kid and never had this place disappointed me. Always have good bagels and a good selection of sandwiches. read more

Meh, I don't think I will go back. Got their latte, tastes very watery. Big space . I didn't try other food, they do have a deli section. Service is just fine. Nothing above and beyond. They make your drink and you leave. read more

Manhattan Bread & Bagel - Whitefish Bagel Sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Great bagel shop and they sell bagel breakfast sandwiches at a fair price. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in the MB area

I have visited this spot multiple times due to it's proximity to my home/office but no more. If they had gotten my order wrong once, twice, three times maybe even four times I probably would not have taken the time to write a review. (I have inly written one other review in my life.) However, they have consistently gotten the exact same order wrong-even through its written correctly on the receipt-over a dozen times! No hyperbole. I've called them and recd an apology. "So sorry, we have a new person", yada, yada yada... same thing happens weeks months latter. Don't bother going unless you don't really mind a screw up on your order. read more

I have never liked the pasta salad. I always ask that it be left off my sandwich order. They put it on my order regardless. It tastes bad. I wish they'd find a better tasting recipe or forget it altogether. The rest of the food is fairly good but that pasta salad is awful. read more

MBB may be the only dedicated bagelry in Manhattan Beach as far as I can tell. It's a clean, contemporary restaurant with a wide selection of Jewish deli favorites. I enjoyed my classic bagel with cream cheese and lox. I also bought a couple tubs of spreads-delicious white fish and salmon spread. I even bought a container of chocolate chip cookies which were soft, chewy and delicious. Service was good, there's a nice amount of seating inside but I had takeout. There is a good sized shopping center parking lot as well. Highly recommended. read more

Been waiting 12 minutes for a plain bagel. Keep you guys posted. Absolutely ridiculous.

Stopped in today for a shmear (lox cream cheese) and everyone is so nice and hardworking! I got to work with Danny and Cassidy, who were wonderful while working their butts off! Thanks, you guys!! read more

Manhattan Bread & Bagel in Manhattan Beach is a gem. We were on the road to head to the airport for an early flight so we stopped by right when they opened at 6 AM and was greeted with warm, friendly service, which was so refreshing that early in the morning. The staff was quick, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Our bagel sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and the location is super convenient from LAX (under 15 minutes) making it a perfect stop before a flight. Highly recommend! read more

Always really backed up on the weekends, consistently missing quote times even for order ahead online. They need to prioritize in person over online to protect the guest experience. The quality doesn't warrant the wait- there is just a lack of competition! Went 20 minutes past pick up quote for two bagels (40 minutes) read more

Please don't eat or drink anything behind the counter when you work with food. The heavy set woman with the ponytail braid and glasses was restocking the bread and cookie display while enjoying a drink at the same time. This is gross and unsanitary read more

This place has seriously fallen off. The bagel sandwiches look like airport heat lamp sandwiches and they are rubbery and awful, I don't know who is running this place but they need to be fired and they need the business needs a total refresh and commitment to quality. I would go anywhere but here for a bagel of quality. read more

Was in town and grabbed a quick bagel for breakfast, got the cheddar jalapeños bagel. As you can see from the picture, they dont even bake in the cheddar or jalapeños into the bagel, they put a slice of white cheese and some jalapeños pieces on top of the bagel. The cheese and jalapeños fell off right when I opened the aluminum foil. Has to to be the worst and laziest cheddar jalapeños ever made. It's funny because there website say these are only available Fri-Sun, they must have a specialists the is able to place a slice of cheese on a bagel only on the the weekends. I would give negative stars if Yelp allowed that. Do better, lazy AF. read more

Finally went to Manhattan B&B after hearing great things about it for years. I was thoroughly unimpressed. First of all, I ordered a bacon and egg bagel. There was such a tiny amount of bacon there wasn't even one full strip on my sandwich, literally could not taste the bacon at all it just tasted like egg. Secondly I asked for the bread to be scooped out and they did not scoop it literally at all. Third I ordered a cappuccino and the foam was super airy it was not creamy at all. My friend ordered a lox bagel and they put like 5 capers on it. She also ordered a black coffee and it was WATERY. Lastly, it was not air conditioned inside. My friend and I were sweating bullets and it wasn't any better outside because they don't have any kind of awnings or umbrellas. Overall 0/10 experience and I will not be back. Do better. read more

Came in to get some bagels with a friend. Inside is bright. Decent amount of seating. There's also a small patio area with a few tables in front. I got the herb and spice cream cheese on an onion bagel. It was really good. My friend got the lox bagel and it was tasty. Small parking lot in front. Service is kind of slow though and staff isn't all that friendly. We waited a while for our order then my friend went up to ask and they said they gave it to someone else. Didn't seem apologetic about it and seemed more annoyed to have to make it again. Overall good bagels but service is lacking. Probably better as a to-go option. read more

Customer service here is awful. And the employees feel free to vape inside the store. One guy walks around like he owns a place yelling at employees. Not a very good place to visit. Noah's bagels is right around the corner. They are much more friendlier and taste better read more

Excellent for a quick lunch or breakfast. Friendly staff. Comfortable seating inside and out. The 1/2 sandwich is perfect for seniors; if you ask, they will substiture greens for pasta salad for no extra charge. read more

I ordered ahead of time hoping to grab and go, it was not the case and still took 35 minutes. I had an order of two sandwiches which came out to over thirty dollars, one chicken and one ham, neither of them actually had any meat inside of them. Would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Josh is absolutely amazing! He goes out of his way to make sure I'm taken care of as if I'm part of the family. Josh is a big part of why I come every Saturday. The bread and baked goodies are equally amazing but the customer service is top notch. read more

Poorly run business. They can't figure out how to set up and run a checkout line. Very cheap management. Iced coffees are in soda cups? Portions in salads are tiny. Quality changes every visit. My last sandwich was slop. The prices are exorbitant. Staff is...not great. The only reason this place is still in business is because there is no competition in the sandwich space in Manhattan beach. You're much better off going to a bland corporate chain like Noah's or Starbucks for a sandwich or bagel, which is a shame. read more

Great bagels and salads and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a visit.

This place is awesome. The freshest bagels, made in front of you. (If you look closely behind the cashier, there is a vast of boiling water) The prices are decent. Great selection of bagels and sandwiches. I was there for a week on business. I rarely eat bagels. Lots of carbs in the morning. My coworker and I went there EVERY morning before work. We would grab a breakfast sandwich, coffee and sit outside enjoying our hearty breakfast. The staff is very friendly. They offer free coffee refills, which I did not know until I came up to the cashier to buy my boss coffee to go. They offered free refill. It's a laid back atmosphere. Lots of room to sit. Free parking out front. I highly recommend! I will be back in LA next month and plan on going everyday. Hope to see you there! read more

This place has one of my favorite breakfasts ever... crème Brûlée French toast ... OMG do not sleep on it. They also have great bagels and a variety of different cream cheeses. Get the chocolate chip cookies!!! Service is on point and it is always decently busy. No parking problems. read more

Picked up some sourdough and chocolate chip cookies for the fam. I came here to get a little work done. After ordering my Egg Bagel sandwich along with some coffee, I settled and started working the WiFi is fine here but I did have to keep re-joining. My Egg bagel was decent and reasonably priced considering prices these days. But I would have to say the coffee was bland and not strong enough for me. I say this because I had my second cup at another location and the coffee was great. Parking in the strip lot but it does fill up quickly. read more

The bagels here are the reason i come here. rye bagels are my favorite thing to eat in the morning and most places either dont make them or they arent good. The mornings on the weekend you can expect to wait a good amount of time. weekdays and non holidays usually it isnt too long of a wait. they also have an way to order online to save some time. Lots of parking spaces which is a good thing. the employees are very friendly and fast. overall if you are in a rush order online and pick it up, otherwise just sit and relax and have some bagels! The bread they make is also really good, especially the black pepper and parmesan bread. read more

Manhattan bread and bagel always seems to have a line out the door. The first time I visited I waited in that long line but now I know better and order ahead to avoid the wait. The regular drip coffee is not expensive and you get free refills. I usually get a medium vanilla roast and add half and half. The bagels are wonderful and chewy, I recommend having them fresh and not toasted to get the full experience. They have so many cream cheese flavors but my favorite is the chive cream cheese. They usually really load up your bagel with the cream cheese so you could share the cream from one bagel with another if you do not need huge amounts. There are lots of bakery items and one of these days I need to try their cup of chocolate chip cookies that I always see. Overall this is a delicious bagel spot. read more

This was my first time ever coming here, an impromptu choice and surprised by how good their customer service and thought the food was satisfying! They made some innocent mistake so I think to rectify their mistake they gave us a full size sandwich n gave my kid couple of cookies on the house. Very nice customer service. They were very busy when we came in so I think there was just a little misunderstood... Food order: * Order a tuna sandwich on sourdough bread and a cup of chili (chili was great, very flavorful. Usually not a fan of chili, but, I would definitely go back for their chili.) * turkey sandwich and chicken soup *blueberry bagel w/strawberry cream cheese. Their portions are generous, usually you don't get that much cheese cream and they generously lather it. And a full size sandwich and lots of inside fillings- Tuna salad. Ambiance is clean and pleasant. Overall, nice surprise to stop by, definitely would go back. Only Con- wish it was closer to PV... read more

The bagels are good but they mess up your order 90% of the time. Make sure to check the bag before you leave!!

This is specifically for the thanksgiving pies. We ordered an apple and a pumpkin pie and both were bad, but the pumpkin was particularly terrible. A weird taste and a very odd texture. Crusts were the same. We feel qualified to judge-for years we've had homemade by a family member who couldn't make them this year. We know what pie is supposed to be and we were so surprised that a bakery would make such bad pies. We were so bummed we didn't just get them at Trader Joe's or Costco. read more

Similar experience with many other reviewers. Service is consistently slow. There may be one or two people in line, but the line still takes a long time. Not sure if the orders are overly complicated or what, but this happens every time. Tables are dirty as others have mentioned because it doesn't look like they have anyone working the front to clean up periodically. Trash cans can be full as well. I come here for the lox bagel, and it is what keeps me coming back. It is a well sized portion with lox on both halves of the bagel, loaded with cream cheese, tomatoes, capers, and onions. Yummy. I'll try ordering online next time to see how that goes. read more

I love this place. Loved in high school loved it now. The go to is the rosemary chicken sandwich (back when Rubios was in the same lot). But the best part is the cold pasta you get with it. And you get an orange. $12.99 is a steal (didn't even know they did half sandwiches). Even Panera Bread can't beat this. You can switch out the bread (whatever they have on rotation). Shocking I never tried any others. Maybe pesto chicken. Haven't eaten a bagel either (wonder if you have to buy butter). I tried to find the cold pasta that comes with the chicken on the menu online. No avail. I wish the locations because they have a winner, but I guess not. However, that has its own charm too. Didn't know Toast had a points and rewards with them. One of the sandwiches I've ever been to. Highly recommended. read more

Best bagels in South Bay! Fresh and they literally put Noah's to shame. Scones are so good and fresh cream cheese

Hands down the best bagels in the South Bay! We've been coming here for years and everyone is always so nice and friendly. We hit a snag ordering delivery today and had the wrong order delivered via Uber Eats. I called to let them know and the kind employee not only fixed our order right away, but personally delivered it within 15 minutes! Talk about excellent customer service! read more

The bagels here are like no other! One of my favorite places and I highly recommend the food and their bagels. I ordered 2 bagel sandwiches this morning and they came packaged in plastic. I assumed the sandwiches would come wrapped in paper. I understand it's my responsibility to ask, and I didn't but why couldn't they be wrapped in paper? This plastic packaging is horrible. This would deter me from purchasing in the future. I really love this place but the plastic is a problem. read more
