2nd time in and it's the hottest freaking shop I've ever sat in. I sear, I was sweating while eating my bagel. Get it right guys, that's crazy. The bagel? For what ever reason, not as flavorful as other places I've been- maybe it was the fact I was sitting in a 90 plus degree dining room. SMH. read more

Western Bagel - Everything Bagel w/Locs , tomatoes , cream cheese and capers! Good morning LA! - Bagels Near Me - Studio City, California

Bfast bagel review only. If I was reviewing smells, they'd get 5 insanely intoxicating ones! Bfast bagel gets the job done, but prob best for if you're on the go and need something substantial that isn't fast food. No fireworks or standout ingredients (other than the bagel, of course!). Do appreciate that they have a selection of cheeses instead of just your standard American or cheddar and that the egg didn't overwhelm each bite. Great, friendly staff that works through the line quickly and parking lot in the rear! read more

Today I was helped by the manager Eduardo he is the BEST! Eduardo made my breakfast so delicious and to perfection, he is so nice and has the absolute best customer service! I love Western Bagel the Egg a la Bagels are my favorite. I have been going to all the different Western Bagel locations for a very long time and no manger has ever been as great as Eduardo, making customers happy is his #1 priority and it shows! Thank you Eduardo for always being the best you warm my heart. read more

My review is based solely on their customer service Worst location, unfortunately they're the only decent bagel place around. So I'll go just for the food. Customer service is unbelievable and like others have said if you call ahead, they still make you wait in line. They badly need a new attitude and system for orders Don't expect a quick order or prompt responses. I've waited at the counter asking for sugar (which is what a sign by the coffee told me to do if I wanted sugar) to have 2 employees stare me in the eyes and then turn around and ignore me. Eventually instead of waiting to see if they were ready for me, I just said it to the next employee rushing by MANAGEMENT, this store probably does well in your eyes but please help with the customer service, get rid of bad leadership within your store. read more

You shouldn't have to wait 25 minutes in line to buy a bagel. They need better management and more employees working the counter at this store. Also a dedicated line for people just buying bagels and not hot food. Won't return. read more

Let me just start off by saying we came to Western Bagel at 1:00PM and they still have a full selection of fresh bagels. Everything from blueberry to Cheese Jalapeño. Basing this review solely off their food I give it a 5/5 they had some of the best bagels and ingredients I've had since living in LA. We got three bagels: Lox on Rye, Tuna on Salt, and a cream cheese & Jelly on Sesame. They were all so good with fresh and crisp ingredients that you could taste with every bite. The atmosphere is very homey, but I would give the seating area a 3/5 as there were crumbs and trash in between the tables. read more

After literally cleaning up crap all night, this morning, and after work I realized Western Bagel's 245 calorie sandwich was pretty much the best thing that happened to me today. I can't believe I forgot about Western Bagel. I totally love their alternative bagels that only have 110 calories each. I needed that after this past weekend! My poor dog, Benny, is sick and he did the worst possible thing to you know whose white carpet. It was probably 3am and I ended up stepping in it because I am blind! Imagine trying to get a hold of your glasses with crap on your foot! So, I cleaned it up - shoved Ben in the bathroom and tried to get some sleep before my 5am alarm clock went off. After snoozing for one hour I rushed into the bathroom to step in it again!!!! My gawd! Ben had to stay in the bathroom all day. After work I made sure to look first before I stepped. Good thing, because he did it again. Poor guy! Tomorrow off to the vet. Gotta go, because I have to figure out how I am going to transport a stool sample. Ugh, makes me not want to eat anymore. Pictures on my blog... not of the poop, of the bagel! read more

I had just finished an hours-long salon appointment and knew I had a long drive home during rush hour traffic. I just wanted something to tide me over until I got home. I've always liked Western Bagel and was happy this one was close-by. I ordered a coffee and an Everything Bagel with grape jelly. The coffee was good, but the bagel was burnt. Also... I had expected my bagel to be buttered, but I guess in Western Bagel, one needs to stipulate everything. I can understand that. It's a custom bagel place, so my bad. The shop was clean, the accoutrements counter was clean. The order-taker was friendly. I would have been happier with a non-burnt bagel, but it was ok for a pit stop. read more

WORST PLACE EVER! No respect at all for the drivers. Always the same shit. Is it so hard for those stupid workers to put the right time when confirming the order????????? read more

So I've been here before for breakfast but never I think for lunch. I'm not usually around a Western Bagel at lunchtime nor do I think of Western Bagel when it comes time to eat something around lunchtime so the stars just happened to be aligned perfectly today I guess and things worked out. I was in the area with a friend running some errands and he suggested that we stop in here for a quick bite and I'm glad we did. I originally was looking to get a roasted turkey hot bagel sandwich but the server girl explained that they were out. So I went to my next fail safe... pastrami. OMG! It was amazing too and I'm so glad they didn't have turkey after all. Haha! And the mustard they used there on the pastrami was like nothing I'd ever tasted before... delicious! The store was nice and clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend eating here for breakfast, brunch or lunch and I too will back! read more

I usually wouldn't take the time to post about a shitty bagel but being from NYC and Montreal, two bagel Meccas, I feel it's my duty! This the second time I've been to Western bagel. The first time I ordered the salmon cream cheese on a bagel, which wasn't great but I thought I just ordered wrong. I went back yesterday, when it was not crowded at all, and ordered a toasted bagel with garlic cream cheese. I sat down to eat in. It took them almost 15 minutes to bring me my bagel. The older guy who brought it to me on a tray with all these other orders, and when I too a bite it was ice cold. I brought it back inside and complained and the same man just took it from me and didn't say anything at all. No "sorry, I'm giving you another one" no nothing ?? Another person at the counter ended up making me another bagel which I waited for on the spot but it was evident they make all the orders at the same time and Then bring them out. It's a bagel, people! It shouldn't take that long to toast one bagel, smear on cream cheese and serve while it's still warm. The bagel is tiny too. Won't be returning. read more

I won't be back I walk in, I say "Hello", to the two employees behind the counter.....They both look up at me from making a sandwich.....No response, nothing, then they go back to making the sandwich? So, I figure, o.k., they're too busy to greet a customer?? After standing there for about 4 or 5 minutes waiting to order a coffee......I left. They just watched me leave........ After I left....the guy gives me a "Thumbs Up"?? Through the window? I would have rather had a coffee. read more

Literally writing this review outside of Western Bagel Studio City. I just arrived right at 3:01, unaware of the actual store hours because they haven't been updated to Yelp. The employee closing the door on me, just apologized, but can't help me get a bagel...? There's only one other customer finishing up their order in there, and I only wanted a bagel to go. Please update your hours, so I didn't have to spend money on metered street parking outside your door to be rejected at 3:01. read more

Bagels are outstanding here, even if they aren't as traditional as some others. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Best bagels I've ever had. Period. Perfect for bagel sandwiches or with traditional toppings. This location has the problem of a very long line on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Sometimes it feels like it's a 20 minute line. Perhaps a couple more staff during peak times? Coffee is just mediocre. We used to go to the Coffee Bean next door to get the coffee, but that's now closed so we have to suffer through the WB coffee. It's often not promptly replaced, and they also don't have Splenda out (you have to ask overwhelmed employees for it). These are problem areas that need to be addressed by management. Splenda is about 20 years old now, and being paranoid about it being stolen is so year-2000. Just place it out there! read more

They need to separate people who want a sandwich from those who want bagels and will be out quickly and should not have to wait for sandwiches. The bagels are great. read more

Best bagels around. My fave is the cheddar jalapeño with jalapeño spread and add tomatoes. Always fresh and great service!

Sign says they now close at 3pm, got there at 2pm. Doors were locked and employees were just looking at me trying to get in. I waved them over and they just ignored me? Whats going on here?!!! read more

Yummy fresh bagels, my son and I have stopped by this Western Bagel location a few times for a morning bagel. Service can be a bit slow at times and a bit disorganized with customers all over but the bagels are always fresh and tasty. The coffee/ lattes are not my fav - many people go to the Coffee Bean a couple doors down for their coffee and stop in here for their breakfast. Free parking in back, metered parking out front. Indoor and outdoor seating. read more

been a customer for many years but their pricing is very high, 6 bagels & a small cream cheese for $27.00 it is "round bread" after all & they charge a toasting fee, I asked them to warm up one of them & they charged LOL. Other than that, still fresh & still tasty "bread". read more

So I came here a coupla hours ago with my sister for lunch. So awesome. Sat outside... nice sunny day. The things that stuck out were the Strawberry Bagel with Strawberry Cream Cheese... so fricking good. Absolutely amazing!!! And my money-maker... the Onion Cheese bagel with Lox and Salmon Cream Cheese!!! Heavenly. My sis got a Plain Bagel with Cream Cheese & Sundried Tomato bagel with Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese. Amazingness!!! read more

Love love love western bagel!! My absolute fav place to get bagels! The people are so nice and the line always goes by fast! The best bagel is the everything cheese bagel! Toasted with cream cheese (they always put a very generous amount of cream cheese) 10/10 would recommend read more

while the people here are very nice and the bagels are ok... this place really needs a remodel.. everything inside of this place is Old and Tired and it looks so dirty all the time. This location is always quite busy - I hope that if the owner of this location reads this takes this to heart as it really needs a refresh and update. read more

Went last Sunday and picked up a assortment of breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Everything was good, I would go back.

Unprofessional staff, rude, and slow. I spent 30 minutes waiting, when everyone that was in line before me went and I mentioned that I had been waiting here, they told me, so is everyone else. Yet, the people behind me were all gone... stay away from this junk. The place is dirty as heck too, wouldn't be surprised if there were roaches around read more

I love Western Bagel. Best cheese bagels. And the pizza bagels we used to get as kids. I'm so glad they're still around.

Always great! The line can be long on the weekends so ordering online is the way to go!

Some of the freshest bagels in L.A. with a selection that has something for everyone. Family friendly as well as dog friendly. You can kick it on the patio if you like. Does get a bit busy on weekends. Maybe because they got Dat Stuff! read more

I've been coming here since I was a baby with my grandma and mom. I love this place it's the coolest

Delicious bagels, pretty busy on weekends though so prepare for a wait. If your going to get a bagel with cream cheese, you might as well get another bagel without because they pile it on! My favorite is their Cheese Bagel- Yum! read more

Good bagels which tasted fresh. We always order garlic bagels with lightly spread cream cheese, perfect flavor, with perfect service. read more

Since the beginning of the pandemic and working at home, we get breakfast from the Studio City Western Bagel at least 3 times a week. The morning crew are so friendly and professional, and work together as a team, double checking to make sure your order is right, and helping each other to get you in and out as quickly as possible. You could not ask for a better staff and the food they serve is absolutely delicious too! read more

Seemed pretty bare and vapid, but the bagel was good, and I guess that's what counts. I wasn't helped for a while because there was only 1 cashier who was busy and didn't seem very enthusiastic, but I can't blame that. One of what looked like might have been the chef(?) or bagel cooker(?) came out and helped me. He knew what he was doing and made my tuna bagel himself right after I ordered it from him. They don't take American Express, too, which sucks. read more

Slow service even though there weren't many customers. Another customer took my order because there was a mistake with hers so I had to wait about 15 minutes for my bagel. Food was fine, was hoping it would closer to a NY style deli than it is. read more

In store is fine. Bagels very good. But online app is a disaster. They don't list certain items and pick up is NEVER ready when they say. I'm often waiting 20, 30, even 40 minutes longer than told, especially on weekends, while people on line get service much quicker. Please get it together people. read more

So I call ahead because I have other things to do besides standing in line for a bagel. I pay for the meter to run in to grab my order. There are two guys in front of me paying for their order. Once I get to the counter the cashier steps away, ignores me and proceeds to take orders from other customers. He then looks over at me, tells me I have to get in the ordering line of 12-15 people to pick up my order. What the fuck dude? Whats the point of taking orders over the phone? Why do I have to stand in the ordering line to pick up an order? Needless to say I won't be ordering from here again for myself nor any events I produce. Horrible service! read more

I like their bagels but the egg sandwiches are way overpriced for the size

The bagels are amazing. I don't care where they are from, the taste is good. Their cream cheese also hits the spot, especially their low-fat ones. It does take a bit to get food, as lines in the morning can be quite absurd, but in the area of Ventura they are located, there are a bunch of restaurants that get full in the mornings. Parking is easy, a huge lot in the back (free), and the people/staff are nice. read more

Picked up one and a half dozen bagels yesterday. For the first time the bagels were terrible. I don't know what has changed but I will not be purchasing Western Bagels again. read more

My daughter and I frequent this store, and since COVID they have been organized pleasant and clear as to their "flow" and system. Still seats out in the patio that are 6 feet apart. One salesperson was quite patient with me and replaced my old club card. I had the old one for tears and she was patient and kind enough to replace it and transfer the numbers. As a schoolteacher laid off due to COVID, it is nice to have a friendly conscientious store around the corner! read more
