Sam's has about four locations and has been around a long time. I've never been to this 'newer' location (3-4 years). Shocked to see the meager 2.5 stars. What gives? There are plenty of great reviews, so I don't get it. Count me in for fans of Sam's Bagels. Fancy? Nope. Trendy? Uh uh. Tasty bagels that are doughy enough but not overpower, yes. OK, I miss the slight bite on the crust that some bagels have. Still, Sam's is a solid contender for good bagels, and sandwiches. Tried a Lox Sandwich, which had plenty of flavorful, slightly moist (in a good way) lox. The tomato and onion all fine -- and they offer capers, which is a classic if not for everyone. A few seats inside, but more outside. And, it's very nice on the patio. Not too close to traffic, and it's easy to relax. Definitely recommend Sam's for straightforward, delicious, reasonably priced bagels and assorted sandwiches. read more

My coworker and I ordered bagels via DoorDash yesterday and they were really good. We both got the jalapeño cheese bagel with chive cream cheese. The bagel itself was perfectly toasted and still arrived warm and there was perfect amount of cream cheese added. Will be ordering from here again. read more

Sam's bagel offers a variety of bagels and sandwiches, from breakfast to savory sandwiches. I ended up getting the lox sandwich on the everything bagel. It was made and served quickly! I shared it amongst my friends as it was a quick meal before lunch. It was really good, had a good spread of cream cheese, and had a large amount of salmon. They do have limited seating and more so a to-go place! read more

We got the Lox Sandwich! This is pretty filling and tasty for only 10$. We went on a Saturday, so this was one of the few places open and we were very happy! The food came out quick and the worker cut it into 4ths based on our request! There was outdoor seating, but this spot is definitely better for grab and go! read more

I had a great experience at this bagel shop. The bagels were incredibly fresh, with a perfect texture and flavor that really stood out. You can tell they take pride in using quality ingredients and preparing everything with care. The cream cheese was delicious, and the overall quality of the food lived up to the shop's commitment to freshness and craftsmanship. A special thank you to Edwin, who helped me during my visit. He was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service, making the experience even better. I also appreciated learning about the shop's dedication to traditional bagel-making methods and its long history serving the Los Angeles community. It's refreshing to find a family-owned business that pays attention to every detail. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for authentic, fresh bagels and outstanding service! read more

I walked in today at 12:58 PM to an extremely dismissive man working behind the counter. I asked if I could please toast my bagel - he said no, the toaster is off now. I said it's 12:59 and he said it's off at 1. He was SO RUDE. However, i continued to stay and proceed with my order. I asked can you please add avocado - he said No we're out. He was just so dismissive. I said ok i'm leaving, you haven't been very helpful or nice. He said Ok bye, As a friendly neighbor, this behavior was really disappointing. Because of that man, he lost many customers. Or make it right read more

Really love this spot! I'm a local and have been here maybe 5 times now. Great bagels, reasonable prices, great service

Had no idea there was one over on this side. Absolutely love their bagels and spreads there's so many to choose from and every sandwich is so filling. read more

Great customer service! Shoutout to Edwin for helping I was running late for work, he was very helpful efficient and got my order out extremely quick! The breakfast beagle was great! And made it to work on time. read more

Delicious homemade taste and the best bagels around! Love that they offer minis for snacking or when you want to try a bit of everything.

This place is a go to when I'm in the mood for a bacon,egg and cheese bagel! I always find myself ordering the jalapeños cheddar and it all goes together perfectly! They got plenty of drinks even though I wish they had a chocolate milk option. The bacon is stacked and I'm never let down by the bagels I get from Sam's! If you didn't know they have a lowkey patio in the back to smash whatever you order too! I would give the bagel bfast sandy a 9/10 and Sam's itself a 10/10 spot. I've been coming here for years. Always fast service, all the guys workin there are all super nice and their patio stays clean! Wish you guys did a buy one, get one on Postmates though!! read more

Solid bagels and yummy schmears. The breakfast sanwhich was yummy and the prices were very reasonable.

Relieved to read other reviews about others having a terrible experience with the guy who works here. I e been here a few times and he is so rude every time. The bagels aren't good enough to warrant going here to put up with his attitude. The bagel is fine read more

Small shop with great bagels and wonderful customer service. I stop by here every Sunday and can safely say this place stays consistent in quality. Be sure to check them out if you're in the area! read more

Don't know why everyone's tripping about the worker, he was super nice to me and quick/efficient. This isn't a five star restaurant, it's a bagel shop. The bagel was good too. read more

New York style bagels that are just like the real deal in NYC! I lived in NYC and have high bagel standards. Sam's Bagels are just as good as the ones I've had in NYC! They are huge, fluffy, and fresh! The everything style bagel is loaded with everything seasoning, just how it should be. Another bagel that stood out to me was the jalapeño cheese bagel because it was cheesy and had a little kick. I also tried their lox and the lox cream cheese. The lox had great smokey flavor and were tender. The lox cream cheese had the same smokey flavor and it was very good! Everything I had from Sam's was delicious! read more

Don't go to this place The person who works there is super rude. Also the bagels are not fresh. They're not clean read more

This is the second time I ordered delivery from them, last week I ordered a bagel and paid for a large container of lox spread and they sent cream cheese, and today I ordered a lox platter and they sent everything with the platter except the lox?? So I just paid $18 for a bagel with cream cheese and onion, lettuce and tomato? I'm pretty annoyed. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would . Came in on 6/25/24 around 10am and placed an order with a man at counter, we placed a big order and asked him to repeat the order and he did not want to and advised he got it all with an attitude . Went home and surprise !!! Order made was incorrect, but the receipt was right . We ordered 3 breakfast sandwiches and only got 2 , out of the total of 7 bagel orders, we called the location and the guy who we placed the order with was in denial that they messed up and was yelling / very argumentative. He hung up on us 3x and when I asked for his name another time I called, he hung up again . This is not an experience anyone should encounter especially as customer service. He needs to find a job that does not require to encounter customer service. DO NOT WASTE YOUR ENERGY !!! VERY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL. read more

So I'm Hispanic, but the guy who is at the counter is nothing but rude. He has no customer skills what so ever. I go to the one on Larchmont and they're nothing but nice. But this guy , you can't even ask a simple question "do you have any more bagels ?" Because he is screaming at you and saying I'm closed. Nothing curtious, just aggression ! So sad because i love these bagels. Larchmont I'll be going to you even if i must spend more gas! read more

A rude and very mean man just assisted me and he fought and argued with me about welcoming me this morning. What a horrible way to have a business with rude employees. I will be contacting the BBB as well as the health department as the place is also very dirty. This is the worst bagel place I've ever been to as well as they claim to be kosher. Wouldn't you think that they would have a higher standard? He also went behind the counter with my bagel after arguing with me and being disgruntled. I completely don't feel comfortable even eating this bagel as it has his nasty energy affects the food. I wouldn't be surprised if he threw the bagel on the floor before he made it for me. That's how bad this place is. Please recognize that you have 2 1/2 stars. Wouldn't you think that something is going on here? Listen to what people are saying, and correct yourself. read more

I order from doordash first time great. 2nd and 3rd time they just put i. What you didn't order..shame on them I gotta refund from doordash sndI hope you do the same if this has happened to you read more

I love this place. Moved into the area about six months ago and was recommended Sam's for a great bagel. Well I've gotten bagels but what I really like is the lox and bagel, cream cheese with tomato, capers and onions. Very reasonably priced and the quality is excellent. And the best part is it's walking distance from my new home. Highly recommend it. Might be best to get there a little earlier but all the bagels are great. read more

Soooo excited this place opened - pretty sure it's another location from the one on Sunset and I couldn't be more stoked! It's so close to home and there's no crazy line, great service, makes for a good morning. Plus the best garlic bagels read more

Most delicious bagels ever!!! I live near the area and i'm addicted to these I swear i could get one every day!! they are so thick and fluffy and toasted to perfection!!! and generous with the cream cheese read more

Bought bagels for me and my coworkers at 9am. All three bagels were dry and hard. The next day, my coworker ordered a Starbucks bagel through Doordash to make up for the lackluster breakfast the day before. Our guess is we got the day-old bagels and should have waited until 12noon for the fresher ones. Sad and traumatized. read more

Purely reviewing for the bagels & they are bomb and always fresh. Never ate there always gotten it to go and truly give me New York vibes. I'm a courage bagels kinda girl but these are bomb too. read more

Horrible customer service! I placed an order for pick up the day before the holiday, I ordered at 10 am for a 2:00 pick up on Uber eats. Upon arrival for my pick up I received an order cancellation!! How do you cancel an order 5 minutes before a scheduled pick up!! Disgusting!!! read more

I was previously going there on Saturdays, and José was always personable, great. José must have quit or may have been fired (?). Now, this other rude guy appears to always be there. What attitude! What a p***k!!! I have had two direct dealings with him, and THIS employee should be cut from the payroll. I am going back to The Bagel Factory when I have a yen for these carbs. Not only has this Sam's Bagels raised their menu prices (expected with inflation) but the size of their bagels has gone from Lizzo to a Victoria Secret model. Can you say "Rip-off!"? Save your hard-earned money and go to a different one in the chain or a different bagel shop, altogether. Of those two dealings, I purchased once and walked out empty-handed the second time because of the paltry sizes, so-so selection, and the guy's a**hole attitude. On Friday, 9/22/23, simply out of convenience and a huge craving, I went by at 2pm and they were closed! I had tried the door which was locked, Mr. "I Hate My Job" is behind the counter and shaking his head "No" at me, as if I am somehow clairvoyant they may have sold out of bagels. Most bagel places have some product at the end of the day. If that happened to be the case, put an effing sign in the window letting customers know why the shop is closed before the usual closing time of 2:30pm. / If I am going to pay more, I expect consistency in size/quantity/quality. You, my fellow customers, should expect the same, in my estimation. This third time was NOT a charm. I am done with them, unless they hire nicer staff AND revert to plumping up their carbohydrate offerings. read more

Great bagels, bad vibes. If you don't mind interacting with the most miserable man in this city, the bagels are pretty good. He always acts like you are wasting his time, and every time I go in, I'm usually the only one there. Don't know exactly what you want the very second you walk in the place? Receive eye-roll and be made to feel like you're failing at life. Press the wrong button on the touch bad? Receive murderous glare and aggressive sigh (as if he is resisting violence). He doesn't yell or anything, he is mostly silent... but his angry vibes are so palpable, I think I have to wait a few weeks before going back, so I forget how uncomfortable it is. lol read more

Service is trash. Location is trash. Every single time i come here the workers are always rude. Bagels and spread mediocre. Why buy food from a business with shitty service and people? Too many yummy bagel spots in LA to come here. read more

The guy at the counter in the morning is always so rude. Don't expect friendly service when you come here. My card declined when purchasing a bagel and the large bothered sigh that left that man's mouth was really uncalled for. Come here if you want ok bagels and to interact with a grumpy man. read more

I'm not sure what it is about me that warrants this specific attitude I receive, EVERY time I come in, but today, I had to pay an extra for a mistake I didn't make. Messing up my order was no big deal at all, but asking for more bc of it, had me absolutely confused. Go to Larchmont, they at least smile when u come in. read more

I go here all the time and order either a bagel, egg and cheese or a bagel and cream cheese. Every time I go they are quick, nice and the bagels are always good! read more

We order food from here frequently , but as of late the gentlemen who works the counter has had a pretty bad attitude & overall disposition. I'm not sure if he's unhappy or hates it job. But you can for sure feel his negative energy through his attitude. I like the bagels but it's not worth dealing with this guy regularly I guess we'll cut back. read more

Terrible store. Went in for a bagel and when I saw my receipt I noticed they charged to toast my bagel. This place is a joke and is extremely dirty. I would stay away at all costs and go to another local shop. read more

Everything was reasonably priced, bagels were made fresh and received plenty of cream cheese! The staff was very friendly. Food was packaged neatly. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was the interior was a bit lacking. It was a bit outdated, no trash cans, and a bit dirty. To-go food orders is the best option for this establishment. read more

The bagel I ordered and took home and noticed how hard the bagel was which means it's not fresh. The son who isn't older than 14 took 5 min to get a small side of cream to go. read more

I come here all the time and the bagels are delicious. They say they are open until 2:30 but they ALWAYS CLOSE EARLY. Today was the 3rd time that I've come 15 min before closing and they are completely closed. If you want your bagel, don't trust there hours because they always close before 2:30 read more

The man who works there in the AM is very rude. He got angry and told me to get out of his store when I asked if he could tape down the beverage container lid. I deliver food. Most eateries take the necessary precautions to secure their food containers. And 99% of them are very organized and cooperative. read more
