    Nova Lox
    Lucia L.

    Talk about ba-GOALS! As someone who's part of the LA breakfast bagel fanatic club, I'll have to be adding @popsbagelsla to my list of all-time favorites! This local bagel shop specializes in fresh, housemade bagels that feature a soft, fluffy inside with a perfectly crispy exterior and just the right amount of chewiness. I love how these bagels can enjoyed by themselves, with their signature cream cheese, or as an egg sandwich, pressed sandwich, or classic breakfast item. Both their savory and sweet options were absolutely standout, and I can't wait to be back again to try more off their menu! My only gripe (at least with the Brentwood location) is that parking can be difficult (street parking or valet), although that's a general Brentwood issue and not specific to this shop; and that orders (even for pre-ordered pickup/delivery) aren't fulfilled in a timely manner. I pre-ordered the day before and still waited 30 minutes past my pickup time, and there were other customers who had waited an hour for theirs. I do understand that this location is insanely busy, but perhaps a more organized ordering system + more staffing can improve order fulfillment and relieve stress from their employees. Featured here: Nova Lox the L.E.O. blueberry bagel with strawberry C.C.

    Plain bagel with plain cream cheese and lox
    Julia S.

    Delicious bagels, easy "in and out" casual atmosphere, quick service and pretty accessible location. Definitely worth checking out and grabbing a bagel during the weekend... or week day! We will be back! Thank you.

    the amount of cream cheese i took out of my "extra light cream cheese" bagel
    Lucy L.

    Bagels had great texture but for some reason, it was so greasy? I ordered a lox sandwich and asked for extra light cream cheese and there was an absurd amount of cream cheese, like they put extra cream cheese. The only thing that was "extra light" was the amount of lox and other toppings.

    Sesame w/ scallion cream cheese
    Yuri J.

    A bagel stop before the LA marathon. Super quick service and line out the door! Every bagel looked scrumptious - went with a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and it was a perfect ratio of schmear to bread. Bagel is chewy, not too dense, and loaded with sesame seeds. Delicious and divine!

    Everything bagel and cream cheese with the strawberry lemon lemonade
    Victoria L.

    The everything bagel with plain cream cheese hit the spot. The only thing was the bagel had just a little too much salt for me, but I would order it again. The store was closing, and the staff was trying to get out of there but the young lady who was helping me answered all of my questions and was pleasant. It's a cute little bagel shop with outdoor sidewalk seating in front of the store and on the side. Also, the strawberry lemonade was soooo good and it had some sliced strawberries in it, which was an added bonus!!!

    UPDATE the general manager messaged me first thing on Sunday morning which I consider to be extraordinary customer service. He was completely professional and really wanted to get to the bottom of what happened. Suffice to say that he appreciated the feedback and I do believe they will handle things different going forward. Review was one star which I will now change but I will leave the initial review below. Just in case anybody else experiences this. (Original review below) Kevin. I don't actually have to be present to pick up my too good to go order. That's why the app has this. You were insulting today and rude. Are you aware that this money goes to charity? And that it helps you guys avoid food wastage? Shame on you. Oh, the app does not allow screenshots with the confirmation code on it. I actually had to have some stranger take a picture for me so I could send it to my friend waiting while you were busy insulting her at your store.

    Chili crisp turkey sandwich
    Sofia S.

    I love Pops These guys are great, very friendly and full of energy! Today I got a delicious chili crisp turkey sandwich on a scooped sesame bagel! I will come back tomorrow for the sweet and spicy cucumber sandwich!

    Cinnamon raisin bagel
    Emmie H.

    This is a pretty good bagel stop but I just have to say right off the bat the drinks are not worth your time -- way overpriced and not as good as so many other places within just a couple feet of this place. I had a cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese and the bagel had an appropriate amount of cream cheese. It came out quickly and there were some places to sit outside. Overall, not the best bagel I've had but pretty solid. Drinks are average but also average $8 so I'd recommend a skip.

    Delicious bagels
    William W.

    Overall, decent bagels, but honestly not outstanding. This bagel shop is located in a charming, neighborhood village-like area of Brentwood that is a vibe itself. Parking was difficult to find and many of the lots are valet-only :::cringe:::, so had to park several blocks away Solid variety of classic flavors (plain, sesame, etc) and some unique. Bagels themselves tasted meh; also, they were shaped more like oversized rolls than bagels, if that makes sense. Staff were welcoming, super friendly and helpful. Overall, a 6/10 experience.

    In the depth of this bag lies greatness in the form of a bacon, avocado, cream cheese (sesame) bagel.
    Shannon N.

    I had heard about Pop's a while back, and even saw photos of items I'd like to try, but timing never worked out until recently. Going on a Saturday around 12:30, I figured I'd be okay but there was still a decent amount of people around, and sadly not a lot of stock. I did remember seeing some pictures of a bagel with cream cheese, avocado and a topping of glorious, crispy bacon. Since they were out of plain, I did this with a sesame seed bagel and this was amazing. I also gave in and bought a sesame with butter since that is my default. My only downfall is I couldn't enjoy this until an hour or so later after purchasing, but it was STILL delicious. Service was fine, and this took about five minutes for the bacon option. Although I want to kick myself for paying $12 for essentially 'a bagel with topping', it was so much more than that. I cannot wait to be back!

    Egg and cheese? Not sure what type of cheese this is

    Bagels w cream cheese good but no Vegetable Cream Cheese at a bagel shop, very odd. Egg and cheese looks off also. Not real cheese but cheesy wiz or something for like $15.

    Monica S.

    Pop's Bagels -- Keeping it short and sweet: this place is phenomenal. The food is amazing low key pricey, but honestly worth it. The staff is always friendly, and the Brentwood location is great. They also have a cute little outdoor patio, though every time I've been in the mornings it's been too cold to sit outside. Hopefully one of these summer days I'll finally get to enjoy breakfast out there. :)

    Where's all the cream cheese
    Tina L.

    It's ok but the hype... hmm. I'm going to add a photo and you can tell me what you think about the bagel. The bagel hardly has any cream cheese. I'm not surprised because it is LA. Super dense and thicc. Needs way more inside goodness. Felt like I was eating dry bread. 2.5 stars and will not be back.

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.
