Was it good? Yes. Worth the wait? No. There are pretty stingy with their portions compared to other bagel spots. But the same price or even more. So take that with what you will! Other places might taste a bit better too.

I'm still looking for a bagel that matches up to NY's Apollo Bagels and these aren't it. I got the Grampa Sam ($21) which is an everything bagel with plain schmear, nova salmon, fried capers, pickled onions, dill and lemon. The crust was too hard and there wasn't enough chew to the bagel. There wasn't enough schmear, which was too whipped and wet, and I thought that the lox wasn't plentiful enough. Especially for that price. Glad I went during an off time so I didn't have to wait too long.

Super unique bagel spot! My personal favorites were the Deanna Michelle and uncle Dave! The shmear here is really good and the bagels are named after family members which is a cute touch. Bagels themselves are on the thinner side and have a nice crisp. I prefer these to Layla bagels which are more chewy so it's harder to bite.

4.5/5 New favorite bagel spot -- they use 72-hour fermented sourdough to make every bagel. I got the Kathy & Rick: Cantabrian anchovy butter, chives & pickled guindilla peppers served open faced on the freshest available bagel. It is so perfect chewy and crispy (not bready) and not too salty. Mine ended up on an everything bagel but I would love to try the other flavors. No line on a Friday around noon. I parked in the neighborhood side streets about a block behind the restaurant Tip: No substitutions and no "toasters". They are baking bagels all day and serving them fresh!

Right next to my to-go bakery, obv Mustard has come into my attention since few months ago when they first opened their door. The line kinda terrified me though plus some reviews saying they're out of stock pretty early in the day. Besides, the opening window was indeed relatively short. Finally making my way there, the line was actually moving swiftly even on busy weekend. Seats were limited for dining on the spot, but if you came in small group (ideally 2), it's not too bad of a wait. You'd order first, got a number, then they'd deliver your order to your table. We tried Grampa Sam, their open-faced salmon bagel served with schmear and fried capers. My husband loved the fried capers and did find it making this menu unique. I did try it and compared to other salmon bagels in town, my personal preference would fancy the others that featured more components beyond salmon and schmear. Don't get me wrong though, Mustard's pretty good and their everything bagel was yum, being at the right balance of crispy coating yet chewy inside! My fave was my own order of Harry's special, the seasonal sweet option with sesame bagel, miso honey butter, and lemon vanilla mascarpone. Sweet, bit of salty hint, and light airy cream mixed with super fresh strawberries! Personal favorite now and I hope they stay longer.

Quality, fresh bagels with unique fresh toppings. They don't dethrone Courage Bagels, but they're in second place for me. The male employee who took our order was kind and had a funny sense of humor. It's a small place that you have to line-up to place your order and pay. There were available seating at one of their sidewalk tables, so we enjoyed our bagels and drip black coffee (no sugar or creamer available at this place--which is fine by me because I drink my coffee black, but I'm not sure how that's going for others?). They give you an order number and they bring your bagels to your table. Grab some napkins, they're messy but tasty! Street parking available near and around Mustard's Bagels. Go give 'em a try!

Bagel with avocado, pickled red onions and hatch chilies

This bagel pop-up is really good. The bagels are a good consistency. A little chewy, but not too much. With fresh, creative ingredients in the toppings, each bagel is a work of art. For now they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but that may change in a few months.

The Glanville Boys can touch anything and make it the best! If they got into...well anything, it would be excellent, exceptional, amazing. This is not exaggeration. Kyle changed the LA Coffee Scene back in 2011 when he introduced G&B Coffee not just riding 3rd wave coffee but slaying 3rd wave coffee! Introducing Mustard's Bagels. What's the big deal? The Glanvilles...that's the big deal. Not just a bagel, but if Michelin had stars for bagels, this would be a 3 star bagel. This is not your Bobbe's bagel, this is something altogether different and amazing. Service definitely is top notch, given to the complete experience that The Glanville Boys have a reputation for. Ambiance is lively with outside seating and music bumping. If you think that it's just bagels, you have something more interesting coming to you. Mustard's is another great business model by The Glanville Boys!

Salmon
Alex M.

The place is super tiny with no indoor seating space but some outdoor tables. The server was super friendly and gave us a free orange cake slice which was delicious. The cucumber one with the miso spread was my absolute favorite. For a reasonable price you get such a fresh bite of the cucumber over a toasty bagel and some amazing miso spread to wrap it all together in such a magnificent combination. The chili oil also adds a nice hint of spice. My favorite by far. The salmon one was also really good. The everything bagel is also fantastic, crispy and freshly baked. The pickled onion goes super well and the cream cheese and capers make it a great classic. Not as iconic but it won't disappoint. Salmon was super fresh. Banana hazelnut bagel was not for me. There was a slight bitter taste and with the lack of sweetness it just wasn't what I was expecting for a little dessert bite. I appreciate it is not meant to be as sweet as Nutella but there was just a certain bitterness to it that I didn't love. There is limited coffee options and a few beverages offered but the flavor composition of these bagels make it a perfect choice to not feel too full after a meal and get your bagel cravings more than satisfied. Excited to try some of the other unique bagel flavors.

grampa sam

FIRSTLY, you must divorce the notion of what you are eating and your expectation for what a bagel should taste like, and then your experience will be completely different! The internet feels compelled to pit Courage and Mustard's against one another for the spot of LA's best bagel, but I think Mustard's wins only with regard to their line (the lack thereof) and their lox. The lox is perfectly salty with no fishiness or stringiness and it's truly a perfect buttery bite. The other toppings are also great, with the unique take on fried capers and bright, punchy pickled onions. However!!!!! The crunch to chew ratio is insane, to the point where this sht is more of a CRACKER than a bagel. I genuinely thought my front filling was going to come out with how crunchy it was. That being said, it was delicious, just not what I expected. Also -- if you're there in the winter, I'd probably get it to go even if there's seating outside, because it's on the stretch of Washington where you can feel every single breeze like the Big Bad Wolf is trying to take down Culver City.

Don't waste your time on the food here. Terrible service. The person working the counter was incredibly rude. They also won't let you choose which bagel you would like as your base on certain dishes. When I asked for a miso everything the person taking my order simply said, "no," without explanation. The food itself is truly mediocre to bad. I got the Granpa Sam bagel. The lox was so bad I took it off of the second half of my open face bagel to get it down. The fried capers are good, but there's no aspect of this that couldn't be made at home. The bagel itself is the best part, but INSANELY expensive ($21) considering it's the same price as Courage??? even if you're on the west side, don't waste your time. I would also like to note, the server threw the bagels down on the table! I will not be returning! Cofax is just down the street.

Deanna Michelle (cucumber salad bagel): 6/10; it does taste like the Din Tai Fung cucumber salad on a bagel. It's refreshing and light, just super messy to eat and the bagel is a bit too hard Weezy (cocoa hazelnut w/ banana): 4/10; unfortunately the pairing of flavors for this bagel was not it. The bagel was too salty for this bagel that is supposed to be sweet. Perhaps would taste better on plain bagel instead of a salty one but they don't allow adjustments.. Seasonal green tomato bagel: 7/10; the flavors on this bagel tasted the best, but again the bagels here are too hard and painful to eat. There are maybe like 10 tables outside and it's a bit cramped. Not ideal seating. Bagels came out pretty fast and there was no line on a Sunday at 10am.

Met with a warm greeting from staff I feel already inclined to come back sooner rather than later. I met a friend for sandwich, I enjoyed the Reuben and I am blown away. All of my tastebuds danced at the first bite. You fill out a sheet that is left near the counter by the menu's to either build your own or select one of the signature dishes. Note, they do also have Halal options which is a HUGE plus! Their Deli menu is meant to be enjoyed by all, handful of vegetarian options as well. I'd recommend extra toasted love to any sandwich or panini as it is an option on the sheet you fill out. Stepping into the back patio lounge area, there are many tables and seating places to choose from. Theres almost a sense of peace and serenity you experience while in the patio. Theres koi fish, shaded areas and a very cool pizza station! Plenty of seating, I noticed there was a late morning rush but there was still plenty of room for all to sit and enjoy the summer weather. My only side note that may deter people wanting to visit, parking may be hard to find given that this Market place is splat in the middle of a residential part of Culver City. There is a park a few blocks over from the market, grab your food and drinks and enjoy that open space as well if you're introverted but would still like to experience what Jackson Market has to offer.

Ordered an iced vanilla chai while waiting and it wasn't bad. When you first walk in you're greeted with fresh flowers. No one is rushing you to hurry up and leave. You mark up an order sheet and give it back to counter help to place an order meanwhile there's picnic foods refrigerated like salads and other condiments complete your meal. Definitely the kind of neighborhood market that is conveniently placed.
