When you see food on IG and think...i'll need to add that to the list of places to try on my next…read moretrip. We almost skipped it but so thankful we added it to our first stop on our last day in SoCal. Aside from their top choice garlic stuffed bagel, we tried the LA Lox which was melt in your mouth lovely with crunch of pickled onions, cucumber, tomato and lox. Our to-go order included extras like French Toast bagel that comes with syrup. Hot drinks like cappuccino and ceremonial matcha also made it into our cart. Everything was beyond better than any bagel we've had. The hype is nothing to shrug off. Articles written about this establishment are posted around. They even have a flyer like handout that you can take that tells the story. It was a crowded place for sure. Locals were pouring in for all the.good things. Atmosphere is very casual, relaxed with high and low tables inside and plenty of patio seeding outside. Parking could be challenging. There is an underground parking area with limited parking. Aside from that, street parking is hit and miss. Ordering is managed through the touch screen available at the front. The staff is very helpful and friendly and able to answer questions. They take your name and phone number and you get a text message when your order is ready as well as staff notifying you by calling out your name. There's also a digital screen showing you that your orders in progress and what's been completed. They have complimentary water and lemon iced tea. They also give out samples of bagels for customers. Pricing is on the high side, but for the type of bagel and satisfying eats and drinks it's acceptable. We will always do our best to come to this place when possible. We wish it would expand to NorCal. Until next time we are smiling with gratitude for the experience.

Took my dad out for his bday and got him some yummy stuffed bagels…read more He really enjoyed this one! Our order: 1. Signature Garic Stuffed Bagel 2. Habanero Stuffed Bagel 3. Bacon Scallion Stuffed Bagel 4. Truffle Tots 5. Biscoff Latte My ranking of the stuffed bagels: 1, 3, 2 Dad's ranking: 1, tied between 2 and 3 Dad says the tots were okay, which was surprising bc he devoured them Biscoff Latte was yummy but lowkey kinda small for $7 imo, but my dad likes how it wasnt too sweet :D Line was hella long but manageable. If anything, ordering online might be the way to go Overall, super yummy and dad wants to take mom here next time

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.

Been meaning to try this place! We frequently visit the Village but this is mostly a breakfast…read moreplace so they close early. The times we were there were in the evening and never got to try it till this past weekend! The vibes of this place is absolutely beautiful! Love the garden chairs/seating outside and the beautiful inside. The bagels are all on the wall which makes it look very beautifully presented. I got an everything bagel with regular cream cheese and an iced cinnamon bun latte. My bf got the super seed bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a raspberry matcha latte. We sat outside and our food and drinks came out so quickly! Love how loaded they make the bagels with the cream cheese, just the way I like it. The drinks were great as well and not as sweet as it sounds! Such a great breakfast spot and would definitely love to come back! IG: @ammysalamii

Nice place for breakfast with a relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly, the prices were…read morereasonable, and the food was very good. I had the grilled salmon salad with lettuce, avocado, and cucumber. It was fresh, healthy, and really tasty. My wife had the avocado toast. It wasn't a big portion, but it looked great and tasted good. We came after our workout for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is the cleanliness. I understand it's hard to keep everything clean when a restaurant is busy, but this time the place was almost empty. There were food crumbs on the floor around our table and some tables still had leftovers on them. It wasn't very pleasant while eating. I'll probably come back because the food is worth it. If the restaurant is cleaner next time, I'd be happy to give it more stars.

Bagel Broker is a neighborhood staple in the Fairfax/Grove area…read more Obviously their bagels are fire, but also their portions are also a bit more generous than competitors. So more cream cheese and more lox basically... Easy parking , friendly service , definitely a go-to.

Place is alright…read more Long line and uncomfortable space inside to wait. Parking is a tiny, cramped lot so probably difficult to park on busier days. Bagels didn't stand out enough to balance out the inconveniences. Ordinary bagel spot but you know how Los Angeles is... people line up for just about anything and set you up to believe the place is fire, then it's just ok. I think it's just general overpopulation at this point. While our bagel was good - stuffed with cream cheese for those that are not lactose intolerant - it was not anything special. No stale bagels but that's the bare minimum. I've had better from chains and I would have expected something that tasted like it was made with a little more love. If I'm in the area, I may stop by again to get a coffee or a sandwich but if there's a line, I'm not waiting - ain't worth it.

It's like Courage, but a gazillion times faster. And closer to home. And with better parking and…read moreseating. So like, a gazillion times better overall. I don't like pitching businesses against one another, but I can't describe it any other way. I hadn't realized for years, but I happen to live only a few blocks away from this neighborhood gem. Lucky me. I went on a weekday brunch-y hour and was able to get an elite parking spot and an outside table in the shade. It was perfect. A little too perfect because now I think about the egg salad every morning. Also, I'm a sucker for brick buildings and friendly people. So this... This little bagel spot? It's a 15/10 in my book. Will return.

You go inside, place your order, then pick your order up outside at the window and there is some limited outdoor seating. My lox bagel sandwich was delicious and I also enjoyed the bagel I bought to go for breakfast the next morning (it stayed fresh). I also bought some dessert pastries here for my kids and they said they were very tasty. They boil and bake their bagels here (boiling is a must for me - can't stand just the baked bagels - those aren't real bagels!) Even though it was crowded the service was fast enough. There is plenty of free street parking in the neighborhood - you just have to walk a bit but nothing major.

He is honestly the best thing to happen to Boichik Bagels! He's so sweet, attentive, charismatic, and genuinely seems to care about both his work and the people coming in. I've definitely started coming by more often thanks to Chris and his uplifting attitude. He really makes the place feel welcoming. And the bagels themselves... WOW. The onion and garlic bagels are SO good, and the chive cream cheese is incredible. I'm absolutely obsessed. Thank you, Chris, for making the experience so much better every time I stop by!

Boichik Bagels gets a lot of things right... and a lot of things wrong. Let me explain--…read more My date and I arrived and ordered a regular bagel with hatch cream cheese for her and an onion classic with lox, tomato, onion and capers for me. We take our number and go sit and wait at the small blue tables outside like most everyone else. Strike one was their being out of fresh made orange juice, something that should NEVER happen at a bagel purveyor... oh, and my coffee? Was only technically that. Seriously. It tasted more like tea to the point that I questioned whether or not they in fact got my order wrong and it was that. Flavorless. (2/10) I like my salmon bagel and the ratios were pretty on point with there being maybe just a tad too much cream cheese. For $20, this was what I expected and I appreciated the quality olive oil drizzled over the quality ingredients to keep it all moist. Loved the tomato and capers. It's a big meal and half of it went home for later. (8/10) My date's bagel was a nightmare though. Thick wedge of cream cheese on a barely toasted bagel, she had to wipe half of it off just to eat it. And as for this being a "hatch cream cheese?" Like calling my brown water broth 'coffee,' I'd suggest that it only technically met up to the definition: there were 2-3 little chunks of hatch chile. Seriously. Two or three. The white cream cheese hardly had any smell or taste of hatch chile. I know as I ate the other half she took home. Dispel any fantasy you might be harboring of that cool, greenish cream cheese with real chunks of smoked hatch chiles because that doesn't exist here. (2/10) So there you have it. For close to $40 when you factor in tax and tip? This was barely a 3 star bagel experience. Order with care and intention.
