Great cold brew and great bagels, this is hands down the best bagel shop in the South Bay.

Love their cheddar hot honey bagel but have had issues 2x with my order here. After ordering the first time for takeout, I unwrapped my toasted bagel and cc to find that the bagel was warmed not toasted, not crunchy at all and the cc had melted allllll over the bagel wrapped in paper. It was a mess. I ended up scraping the cc off and retoasting the bagel at home. Second time we ate in and even asked for extra toasted bagel and same issue. They also don't slice the bagel down the middle so you are left to using a flimsy plastic knife to make it edible -- the drippy cc was an issue again. Coffee is good but would be nice to have espresso options. Overall pretty expensive for this experience. They're still on the new side so I hope they can work a few kinks out. Otherwise fast service and clean facility. read more

I've been wanting to try Uncle Stevey's for a while now and this morning my wife and I finally made the trek over.....it was about a 30 min drive but completely worth it! The bagels were absolutely amazing! The texture was perfect, soft but crispy at the same time. I had the jalapeño bagel with lox and there were plenty of jalapeños in the bagel with a nice portion of high quality lox. My wife had the everything bagel with cream cheese it had plenty of seeds and spices! Even though it's a bit of a drive I'm definitely going to be coming here again. Honestly I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to enjoy bagels at other places after having had the best at Uncle Stevey's. Truly a next level bagel! read more

Always a great experience! The hot honey cheddar bagel is my favorite and an absolute must try. Highly recommend

I bought onion and garlic bagels to go and they were pretty solid, however, they were dripping with oil - not sure why... I also picked up some chive cream cheese. The chive cream cheese basically lacked chives - maybe 1/2 dozen small pieces in the entire container for $6. I'd rather get Philadelphia Cream cheese and at least get the chives and flavor. Service: Waited at the counter for an about a minute or two for someone to come out from the back. Didn't see a bell or anything to ring... then 3 or 4 employees wandered out to help me... I almost walked out. Hope the business does well - but they defiantly need to up their game. read more

Picked up some bagels here and they were delicious. They definitely had some flavors that I hadn't seen at other places and had some tasty cream cheeses to accompany them. They have a nice seating area inside for those who want to dine in and service was friendly. Definitely eat them fresh the day of purchase! read more

CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! I had been wanting to go for months after hearing about it and finally had time today after dropping off fam at LAX. I had the CHEDDAR HOT HONEY toasted bagel with a green herb cream cheese--SO GOOD. I also got a dozen bagels to go since they had some unique spins on classic flavors (everything, jalapeño, etc) and some really innovative flavors I had never seen before (zaatar, black and white sesame, berbere, cheddar hot honey and more). Classic schmear or unique flavors they blend in house are also part of the mix! They'll even give you freezer bags to help keep 'em fresh. Uncle Stevey's felt like a revelation because I've never seen anywhere else be this curious about and creative with their bagel making while still honoring the classics. It's like bagel flavors were the same for a hundred years and then Uncle Stevey's came along and was like "but why?" read more

So we've only tried the bagels and cream cheese so far on a couple of occasions, but these literally are the best bagels that I've had anywhere close to here if not anywhere ever. The place is big. It's nice. Everything's baked fresh. These are unique bagels. These aren't your typical deal. Highly recommend trying them. Enjoy. read more

The Rosemary olive oil bagel is the best bagel I've ever had. I haven't tried anything else bc I love it so much but I'm sure everything else is just as delicious. It would be amazing if they had some music though. read more

Best bagels in the Southbay! "East Coast-style bagels perfected on the West Coast," as the LA Eater review mentioned and I agree that the bagels sport a bubbly, crackly exterior and toppings are tightly packed on both sides. My favorite is the rosemary olive oil. Arrive early as they are only open till they sell out which is often. Easy street parking, eat in tables and chairs or bags to go, friendly owners behind the counter, grabbed some merch too, fits in nicely with the small beach town, laid back, neighborly El Segundo vibe. read more

Was craving bagels one day after the gym, so decided to try out Uncle Stevey's after seeing everyone rave about it. It's a cute cafe, and they had a small variety of bagels to choose from. But it does look like some flavors sell out. So I ended up with a black and white sesame bagel with cream cheese and lox. The bagel is on the thin size, and I felt you kind of had to rip the bagel as you bit on it to get a bite in, so it's a bit harder of a texture than I usually like with bagels. They gave a good amount of lox, which was appreciated, but for the price and what you get, I can't say I'm sure it is worth going back. 3.5 out of 5 for me. read more

Uncle Stevey's Bagels - Bagel with lox - Bagels Near Me - El Segundo, California

HOW does this place have good reviews?? If you like heavy, greasy, artificial bagels then this is the place for you. Bagels do not taste fresh at all and make you feel like you've just eaten a Big Mac at McDonald's afterwards. It is easy to tell that they don't use quality ingredients. Tastes nothing like a NY bagel... I really hate leaving bad reviews but felt like it had to because it was that gross!! I would avoid at all costs. read more

Nice bagels, but visit early in the day as they sell out. Service was fast and they offer a nice selection. Sandwiches to go looked very good. read more

Was really excited for this place. The bagels are great but expect to wait forever for a simple order. After having a 30-45 minute wait multiple times for a simple toasted bagel with cream cheese with only a couple customers in front of us, we've given up on this place. read more

Best bagels in the South Bay for sure and some of the best in LA. I generally don't eat plain bagels (why would you when there are so many yummy toppings to choose from??) but the plain bagels here are no joke unbelievable. So good. Service is always friendly, but can get a bit slow when it's busy. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could because the bagels are pricey. Too pricey for anything except an occasional indulgence, which is too bad because I'd love to eat them daily or weekly if I could. Overall, a fantastic addition to the South Bay food scene! read more

Tried both the lox bagel and the egg & sausage bagel--and wow, they were so good! The lox was fresh, silky, and perfectly balanced with creamy schmear and the hot honey bagel gave it a different flare. The egg & sausage bagel was warm, hearty, and ultra-satisfying--like the ultimate comfort breakfast in a bun. Both were packed with flavor and made with real care. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Great, family friendly spot in El Segundo. The bagels and bagel sandwiches are tasty and the coffee is strong. We love coming here on the weekends! read more

Really good bagel. Got there around 11 and they were just selling out. The owner let me in and I purchased some plain water bagels. They were crunchy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside. I think they will have a better handle on keeping up with the demand. Get there early for best selection. I'm going back Can't wait to try some of there other offerings The owners were very welcoming. Uncle Stevey's will be a great addition! read more

Two things- I was in town for a robotics tournament my high school boys were in. I bought a couple dozen bagels for the team and coaches and I can't tell you what a hero I was to everyone who couldn't stop telling me how amazing the bagels were! Major score and points for me! I've bought the team many meals and never got that level of praise! Secondly- I also bought an avocado topped bagel and a rosemary bagel with lox for myself and I was FLOORED because they were incredible! I couldn't believe something this good was in a small shop in El Segindo! I told the person at the front how great they were and the owner happened to be there so she had me talk with him and I told him that I've had every great bagel in LA and NY and that combo was "just about the best I have ever had- definitely the best in LA". He was nice and humble and didn't believe me but it was true! He said he gets the lox from New York and the Rosemary bagel is one of his popular ones. I thanked him and said I will certainly come back next time I am in town! read more

I like the place a lot. The bagels are really good. The last two times I've been there though they get the orders completely wrong. Make sure to check your orders before you leave. read more

Easy parking, on the street or public lot across the street. Nice and easy service. Now the food, wow, the Irv was amazing. The pulled turkey tasted sooo good and the black and white bagel was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the outside. We also got the Marion?, which was also pretty tasty. The guacamole had the right amount of lemon. I just wished they had hot sauce or pickled jalapeños, but even without it, it was great. read more

Love Uncle Steveys bagels. Best bagel I have had outside of New York. Surprisingly decadent coffee for a bagel shop. It's not the Folgers or tasters choice you would expect in a bakery. It's gourmet shit (Jules Pulp Fiction voice) Would give them 5 stars if they had some other cream cheese options outside of the standard original. I'll still be coming back, weekly. read more

Such a cute spot in El Segundo. The bagels themselves were delicious, but the bagel sandwiches really hit it out of the park in my opinion (I had the Lew). I wish I had more to say, but the experience was so fast and easy there isn't much more to elaborate on! A great place to stop in quickly for a breakfast bagel sandwich. read more

A true East Coast bagel experience in South Bay! This little gem has become a regular go to for our family and friends since it opened for some very simple reasons: 1. The bagels are simply delicious...as a native NYer, this is the closest to a real NY style bagel I've ever had. Perfectly crisp on the outside and with the soft, chewy texture inside. 2. This small business has focused on doing a few things really well (versus too many things so-so). This is reflected in the quality and taste of their bagels (usually 6 or 7 flavors are available each day). My personal favorites are the rosemary olive oil, roasted garlic onion, and cheddar hot honey. Hubby loves the sesame, cheddar hot honey and everything. 3. I'll admit I resisted trying the chocolate cinnamon babka bagel (see photo). But curiosity got the best of me...and yes, both hubby and I loved it. It is a sublimely sweet treat that I'm sure is going to be added to my regular order (I already ordered half a dozen for Christmas Eve.) 4. The owners (Tiffany and Tom) and the staff (shout out to Max and Jake) clearly care about delivering a warm, community experience. Coming here reminds me of the neighborhood bagel place I grew up with. Not surprisingly, Uncle Stevey's is already becoming a place where I regularly run into neighbors and friends. Tips: 1. These gems are baked fresh each day, so head over early to get the best selection. 2. Be sure to pick up a tub of the scallion cream cheese - so yummy! read more

Bagel is tasty but I ordered "an everything bagel, toasted, open face with cream cheese and lox" and they only put the lox on one side (see picture). Totally understandable, but when I asked if I could have it on both sides of the bagel I was told they wouldn't do that because I ordered it wrong. I would've appreciated them giving me an option to get my bagel how I wanted (whether that is giving it to me this time or letting me pay for the extra lox) instead of just giving it back and telling me "no". Pretty disappointed in the service, might not come back. read more

We've been here a few times now and everything we have had did not disappoint. The bagels have a great chewy outer shell, but are perfectly soft on the inside. The choices of toppings are great, and not something you see everywhere. The cheddar/hot honey and rosemary/olive oil were delicious, especially with the Marion, avocado and egg crumble. We hope that Uncle Stevey's is here to stay, if you have not been by yet, do yourself a favor and check them out! read more

This is now our go to spot for bagels in the South Bay! Lots of great bagel options and the nova/lox was fresh and sliced thinly just like we asked. read more

Interesting bagels, well made. But a VERY customer unfriendly business. Closes at 1:30 on weekends. Show up a little after 11 and they have only a few types of bagels available for the rest of the day. Look at you like you are crazy for wanting to buy a basic bagel when they are open for hours more. "No. Sold out." Not even a sorry. Will settle for worse bagels that are actually available to buy. read more

Best bagels in South Bay. They are pricey but worth it. We are walking distance which is great. I highly recommend the Uncle Stevey's lox sandwich. read more

Fantastic bagels and bagel sandwiches! We ordered for our crew and ordering and pick up were easy. Love this local spot!

As a New Yorker living on the westside of LA, I am enthusiastic about bagels. This morning, as I stood in line with friends, surrounded by El Segundo families, and chatting with one of the co-owners who was greeting everyone in line, I felt like I was back in Brooklyn outside of my favorite neighborhood bagel place. The Marion sandwich on a toasted rosemary and olive oil bagel was fresh, crispy, and well-seasoned. I also got a cheddar hot honey bagel to indulge in as a snack later today. Uncle Stevey's Bagels embodies friendly LA vibes, a beautiful aesthetic, and quality food. Get in line early - bagels sell out fast! I also recommend pairing with a coffee - they've partnered with a local bean company and make delicious brewed coffee! read more

Stopped by Stevey's Bagels on our way home from grabbing coffee near by . We originally bought a plain bagel with cream cheese and since my wife and 2 year old son liked the plain bagel, we bought 2 egg and sausage bagels. Good service and very clean spot. Tasty bagels wife and toddler approved. read more

it was ok--i've been craving Layla's bagel and didn't want to make the trek..i ordered online, with toasted bagel, and the bagel was really cold. Not as good as Laylas or New York bagels. read more

I ordered the Bacon Egg and Cheese on the Cheddar Hot Honey Bagel... without a doubt, the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. The shop is clean, modern and welcoming. The small details that most businesses overlook were not missed here. From the cute paper that my bagel was wrapped in, to the (incredibly clean and organized) condiment bar stocked with high quality options, Uncle Stevey's is a true gem. read more

I love the rosemary bagel! Deliciousness...the rosemary is mild. My husband had the everything bagel and lox. We will be back! read more
