Whole wheat bagel with egg and extra butter and strawberries jam
Ilwoo H.

I wanted give this place 2.5 star if I could. This is one of the mu favorite bagels shop in this area. Very small Inside and if you go this place late there's limited selection of bagels. Always I ordered whole wheat bagels and extra egg and jam & butter. So good but I used lived in manhattan. I still didn't find out better than NYC bagels place. Sometimes they are not kind when they busy. Table wasn't clean sometime so you have to clean the table but you can grab bagel and go eat out side or go.

Everything
Yurim Y.

Had the Everything and Cinnamon Raisin. Everything was nice and I would give 4 stars cuz it came out hot out of the oven. However the crust was not as chewy like the best that I've had. The Cinnamon Raisins was so so, almost like it was from day old, not as cinnamonie. The Jalapeños Cream Cheese was nice and spicy and simple.

Sausage, egg and cheese
Katie H.

We enjoyed our breakfast sandies! I ordered the sausage egg and cheese on cheese bagel which I enjoyed more than the bacon my partner had! Friend also ordered the lox and was able to spruce it up with some tomatoes/onions/cream cheese/capers and she LOVED it! Food was made to order, bagels were good/fresh, and wait was short on a Saturday late morning. Forgot to ask for hot sauce which would have elevated a little - only things missing were a little extra flavor and outdoor seating wasn't cleaned! Otherwise for a quick grab-and-go, this is a great option! My sandwich was about $10 and can customize cheese/meat options

Amazing quality! I love to order the egg bagel it's very fresh. They have many kinds of cream cheeses love the jalapeño.

Sesame Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese

Ahhhhh if I only lived closer to Sam's Bagel, I'd be so happy!!! The bagels are so good! They are fresh and warm, thick with a hearty bite and soft interior. The flavors are *chef's kiss* divine! Can bagels be heavenly? I never thought so, until I came here. Put it this way, I broke my gluten-free diet for this! It was totally worth it. Service was prompt and friendly too.

Ok now here me out - these are probably a 4 star bagel not 5 BUT I'm gonna give Sam's a 5 anyway because I love this place!!! Something I value over virility and buzzy ingredients and a hyper curated product is RELIABILITY and AFFORDABILITY. This place has been there on my best and worst days and it never fails to make my day. I've never felt inspired to review them before but I pulled it up on Yelp today because I just had the BEST cup of FRESH coffee while picking up some bagels to go. At 1pm on a weekday! Im not sure why it's so rare to get a great cup of classic drip coffee after noon but it's the reality we unfortunately live in. But Sam's is the exception. Bagels are always fresh and tasty as well, our favorite is the pumpernickel. Staff is friendly and efficient. Don't have a bad thing to say about em. Well done, Sam's. I will always be a fan.

I would give them half a star if I could, I was waiting in line Christmas morning for a bagel and it's my first time so I wanted to support a small business. When I got to the front and ordered the main staff with long hair was just rude and gave me an my Dobermann a dirty look and ask that I remove my dog from the counter when she wasnt even on it. It made us feel extremely unwelcome when my dog was simply curious. I understand you having a busy Christmas morning but I don't like their attitude so I asked for a refund and he proceed to not give me a refund. It's all good tho cus this business is not getting me money either way. If you have an issue with dog then just put a sign in the front like all the other restaurants and I wouldn't have gone in. To have a bad attitude on Christmas morning is just the cherry on top. Very unfortunate but I won't be supporting Scam's bagel.

Everything toasted with plain cream cheese, small coffee.
Stacey B.

Cute place, small. Guy running the counter was the first non-pretentious LA person I've encountered all week. Shockingly friendly and actually smiled. Ordered an everything toasted and a small coffee. The bagel itself was cooked to perfection, everything a true New Yorker would desire- soft fluffy chewy & my favorite part- the poppyseeds were cooked into the dough. That said, an everything bagel without salt is a crime! Coffee was on point, nice and strong. I enjoyed this pairing at their outside seating on a crisp fall Sunday morning.

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.

A couple things to know before you go: seating is outside only, so you might not find a table during busy hours. There's also no restroom or place to wash your hands. They have refrigerators with juices, smoked salmon, pickles, and other goodies if you want to grab something to go. I'll definitely be back. Still plenty of bagels I want to try.

The only funny thing was my pastrami seemed to be swimming somewhere near Alaska, but I still liked it overall. Coffee was good too, although I wish the cup was bigger. Prices felt a little high, but at the same time I understand it's probably not easy running a small neighborhood business these days. Overall, really pleasant place with a cozy local feel.

I saw that they now offer Buffalo wings, there were multiple 8 by 11 print-out photos posted inside letting customers know. Since I'm a practicing Trytarian, I need to try (almost) everything at least once, especially in regard to food (except the deadly blowfish delicacy of course, dog, or cannibalism). I have a soft-spot for wings, but discipline myself to eat them only on special occasions or when an intense craving arises. But I gave in to give this new menu item a try. However, while ordering them I was met with an unpleasant surprise. I found it deeply heretical that they only offered ranch and not the standard blue cheese. I know there's a lot of ranch enthusiasts out there, I went to a college with a high-amount of Midwestern representation, and I too would often find myself participating in their "dipping fries in ranch" ritual. However, when it comes to Buffalo wings, my philosophy has always been blue cheese and crispy or GTFO. Nonetheless, I found myself unexpectedly eating (despite no blue cheese) and enjoying these Buffalo wings at Bagel & Slice on a late-Monday afternoon. Props to offering 8-pieces over 6. That felt generous and comfortably iconoclastic. But please get your act together and offer blue cheese in addition to ranch (if you must). Even the guy who ordered wings after me, while I was eating them asked for blue cheese. Locals and nearby Oxy students will certainly appreciate having high-quality Buffalo wings close by. But I cannot and will not endorse these wings until they are served with the option of blue cheese dressing.

The box they gave me was filled with a variety of pizza and bagels. For an early 5am breakfast, I had a bagel w/ cream cheese and thought it was delicious! For 2nd breakfast, I had a half a slice of margarita pizza and half a slice of pepperoni and those were also delicious. The pizzas are on the thin side...so, I don't feel too, too guilty lol Anyways, the service was quick. The shop is cute. There's some outdoor seating. I'd come back with friends and our dogs one day!
