I love this place and they have the best vegan cream cheese! Service is also great, not like overly nice but the place is busy, so I totally get it. Don't give an attitude and u won't get an attitude I always get the garlic bagel with cream cheese and lox, it is kinda pricey but if ur ordering multiple bagels u can always snag the packet of lox in their fridge to get more bang for ur buck. My family and like to get the $7 bagel sandwiches too and sit outside with the tables and chairs, super nice place. read more

TL;DR - Bagel store that is part of a northern LA chain that does its specialty, bagels, very well. This is the first entry in my "Hometown Reviews" series, a reoccurring series in which I review some of my favorite places from around my hometown of Santa Clarita through the rose-colored glasses of time, distance, and the occasional visit back to my childhood home for the holidays. I was first exposed to Western Bagel as a child when my parents would visit to get a few plain bagels after going to the Hometown Buffet that used to be next door. Coming from a family of "boring" food eaters, I was considered the wild-one, an outcast, for ordering a raisin cinnamon bagel. We would enjoy our borning bagels from time to time, living in complete ignorance of the goodness we were missing out on until l one day I met someone on my daily commute to work who introduced me to the stores "Everything Bagel with Cheese and Jalapenos". She added garlic and herb cream cheese, shared it with me, and my world was never the same. Now, I can't comment on anything else this store serves because I only get their bagels (after all bagel is in the stores name) but in my opinion they have the best bagels in the SCV, best in SoCal, and maybe the best in the country. I moved out of the SCV a while ago and in my travels have not been able to find a place that offers anything close to this. While this series is all about being a homer, even my girlfriend who is not from SCV, and actually hates most things SCV, loves this place. Both of us are constantly trying to find a bagel place as good as here in every city we visit, but have been unsuccessful thus far. To get in to the weeds of the store, they have a large variety of bagels, but nothing too gimmicky. They also have a few options of different flavored cream cheese for either your bagel or for purchase if you find one you want to take home with you. As mentioned in other reviews they do serve some sandwiches and coffee but I have not tried either. My GF tells me the coffee is good, but nothing amazing. You may notice that many of the one star reviews about this location are petty complaints based on a specific complaint, mostly about special requests or conditions (toasting charge, dogs inside the restaurant, inventory control, ect), not the entire experience. Nothing upsets me more than one star reviews that congest Yelp that have nothing to do with the actual food or service and more to do with the entitled nature of modern customers. I understand that some of these things are negatives, but you are really going to give a place a one star rating because you don't agree with their prices? That is just egocentric. Ultimately these vindictive reviews unfairly affect the companies rating without providing an accurate picture. Do yourself a favor here and enjoy an amazing bagel. Overall the bagels are great, the staff is nice, the place is kept clean, and I have never had any problems sitting outside enjoying a bagel with my leashed dog. read more

Best bagels around. Grab a dozen and they give you one for free. Not many bagel shops left. Just got a dozen this morning and they were still warm can't beat it. read more

I appreciate the COVID safety measures that Western Bagel are following, especially since this place is not very big in size. I have been here a few times and the staff were friendly during each of my visits. I typically grab my order on the go; therefore, I appreciate the fact that they never have me waiting longer than necessary even when it is somewhat crowded. The one thing I would suggest is incorporating spices or something additional to the eggs or bacon. Without any condiments placed on the breakfast sandwich, it is a little dry. I have been to other bagel places, like Bruegger's, and their breakfast sandwiches are not as dry. Just a suggestion if you would like to make small improvements to your products, especially for the price of a breakfast sandwich from here. read more

Oh my gosh. $4.50 for ONE BAGEL! I got a CHEESE (.90 extra) jalapeño bagel toasted with cream cheese. Additional .90 for cheese for one bagel? I'm blown away with what a bagel cost us nowadays. read more

Amazing!!!! Loved them and the specialty service I was given... had a special "pregnancy request" mobile order and they came through. For sure my new breakfast craving spot... read more

The bagel itself was good, the restaurant was fairly clean. It's well lit with natural light and they have a great music selection just loud enough to hear but not having to shout to talk to anyone. I can not say I had excellent service. Brooke helped us and she got our order wrong. She had an awful attitude the second she helped us. When I told her there was a problem with our order, she rolled her eyes and looked extremely annoyed. Everyone else working here was pleasant, friendly and seemed happy. Brooke needs an attitude adjustment and needs to be grateful to even have a job. I would still recommend this place dispute the poor workmanship but the bagels are a little pricey. read more

I have lived in Santa Clarita about 7 years now and never really come here. Well recently I stopped in to get an everything bagel with vegan cream cheese, onions, tomato and jalapenos BAM soooooo good!!!! Hooked about 4 days a week. The staff is super nice and friendly. There are a lot of regulars which I am becoming. They are taking good Covid19 safety measures. Great Staff, plenty of parking and tasty. read more

Whhhhhy is this location so terrible?!! I don't know if the young people that work there just don't care.. I honestly don't know what it is.. every time I order from here it comes looking trashed... the bagels are burnt.. it genuinely looks like the put the bagel together, punched it, then put it in the bag... the bagels taste old.. it's just bad all around... read more

When I ordered the Jalapeño Cheese Bagel and the gentleman serving me asked "Just the plain Jalapeño Cheese Bagel?" I was confused, but I looked down to see the "Everything Jalapeño Cheese Bagel"- I've never seen that before, so I asked for that and he said "Great choice!" with an unrivaled sense of pride. Then he upsold me on the jalapeño cream cheese. It was a little pricey- the bagel with cream cheese cost a dollar more than what I saw on the menu, but the service was great, the "Everything Jalapeño Cheese Bagel" was delicious, and I left 100% satisfied. read more

Barely enough lox. Doesn't even cover the bagel. What the heck? When I pay $12 for a sandwich, I expect the protein to be adequate. read more

It would be nice if you updated yourself hours online so that people know you are closed early due to Covid. I drove a long way to come here and specifically checked online and it says the location is opened until 5pm, it's 3pm and it's closed with a stupid sign on the window. I don't understand why everything in SCV closes early due to Covid, it makes no sense at this point! read more

I'm not gonna lie, their bagels are delicious. HOWEVER, I stopped going a while ago because they got my order wrong 4 times in a row. I gave them another chance today and they got my order wrong AGAIN! Super simple orders, they just aren't paying attention. Get it together Western Bagel!! read more

ALWAYS AMAZING! I have never had a bad or even slightly negative experience here. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The food is always fresh and delicious. The location is a little out of the way, but it is so worth it every time. I like to buy about 4-6 bagels at a time because they are perfect for snacks and lunches throughout the week. read more

Very personable employees. Fresh food. Great portions. The classic breakfast sandwich is awesome.

It's difficult to find good bagels in this area so I was super excited when coming across Western Bagel. They bake the bagels fresh and you can tell in the quality. We had bagel sandwiches and they were really good! My only complaint (not about the food) is that there were no public restrooms. That's a little odd for a restaurant so if you're sitting and eating a full meal there and drinking, just be aware! read more

I haven't been here for about 5 years. I loved the variety of bagels they have. The cream cheese was nice and fresh and they have some with flavors as well. The bagels were delicious! Will definitely become a more regular customer now. read more

Always have the best hot turkey sandwiches. Other locations often run out but this one always has them on deck. Poppy seed bagel is my favorite. Anytime I am hungry, I know I can come here for friendly service and dank food. Only a 3 minute drive from the Valencia mall. Ample parking. Workers are not light handed with the cream cheese either :) read more

First time here just the other day and I loved my breakfast sandwich. It was delicious.

Excellent, fresh bagels (went on a Saturday morning)! Fantastic customer service!! Also, it's pumpkin season everyone. Their pumpkin cream cheese is to die for!! I don't like EVERYTHING pumpkin, but their pumpkin cream cheese was lip smaking, delicious!! read more

Old school, classic bagel shop with delicious bakery items and great service. They have a bunch of different flavors of bagels and shmears, cookies, a deli and other stuff. Just the smell of the bread makes my mouth water and I have yet to be disappointed. read more

See all

I've been coming to this western bagel for years and they're always great but today, Taylor went above and beyond to help us. She was so sweet and refreshing and honestly, she set us up for the rest of the day. As always, the food was great, the coffee was great and it was fast! read more

Great sandwich shop. A hidden gem for finding great sandwiches. The Traditional Sandwich, is a classic!

first time here and the service was ok. my family and i were in line when one of the employees which seemed like the manager helped out a white lady that was behind us instead of helping us out. (we're hispanic). we waited, didn't say anything, just proceeded to order. the food was good, but the experience wasn't great. read more

I gotta be honest. I never, ever really crave a bagel. I like them, and I'll certainly eat them with some cream cheese if someone offers, but I have never said,"I need to have a bagel now!" That being said, we came in on a weekday because my wife was having a Western Bagel craving. I know, weird, right? Well it kinda was for me. Nonetheless, I found myself there one late morning. The place had a good amount of people inside, there was a short line. They have outdoor seating. Service was good. They even offer to give you samples of different bagels if you want. I sampled a small piece of the pumpkin bagel they were offering. Not bad. We ordered two turkey bagel sandwiches, a coffee and a smoothie. Sandwich comes with a sliced pickle on the side, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard and a good amount of turkey. It's not the deli sliced turkey but the thick chunks like you have with Thanksgiving leftovers. It could've had more flavor and was a little dry but it wasn't bad and you get a lot of it. More than most places. The coffee was some mocha blend but I really wanted the macadamia hazelnut but that was only available in decaf. As any parent can attest to, decaf is really pointless (haha). Anyway, the total came out to $21. It was a little more than I expected for 2 drinks + 2 sandwiches, but its not like its gonna break the bank. I mean, you can get two foot long sandwich combos at Subway for less, right? I'm sure I'll come back, unless I get divorced, but I'll most likely order a different sandwich. Maybe I'll try their paninis. read more

It was OK I think it's a little bit overpriced for what they offer but I was in a hurry and it was it was nearby. I paid 11.22 for a sandwich, nothing fancy read more

I LOVE them. I eat this for breakfast ALL the time. But today, which happens to be my BIRTHDAY. They attempted to KILL me. PLASTIC. read more

Just stopped in the Western Bagel and wanted an everything bagel toasted with Cream cheese. There current hours due to Covid said 9am-2pm. I stopped in at 12:50 and they said they would not TOAST My bagel or put cream cheese on it because they were closing in 5 mins. How long does it take to toast a bagel? And closing an hour early. Awesome first time experience. This place was recommended to me also. read more

An average bagel shop, nothing here will "WOW" you. However, you'll always find parking and if you can avoid the homeless people out front, Western Bagel should suffice. Its been here in the SCV for a long time and hopefully it's not going anywhere like KMart and HomeTown Buffet did. If you need bagels, this is the place! My go to bagel " jalapeno and cheese". read more

I've been looking for places to try bagels in SCV for a while and Western Bagel has always been on the list of spots to check out. Decided to come in on a Thursday morning and was craving a bagel breakfast sandwich. As I browsed their bagel offerings, my eyes came across the jalapeño cheddar everything bagel, and I knew I had to try it. I opted for sausage as the meat of choice for this sandwich. The service was quick and the worker who helped me was kind and cracked a couple jokes while I ordered. The sandwich itself was fresh and hot, and the flavor of the bagel was fantastic. I do think that the sandwich as a whole was a little dry and the eggs could use a little more seasoning, but other than that I was pleased with my first trip to Western Bagel. read more

I really like the bagels here and lots of choices. It's always so nice and cool inside which is great in a summer day. They're have lots of workers but for some reason they are really S L O W and take forever to give you a bagel. Don't know if they have 1 toaster or what the issue is. The workers don't have any customer service skills and come across as awkward and timid and don't greet the customers but seem to be trying. I've never seen a manager. It's also awkwardly silent in the store. No conversation, music and just people walking around in a trance. Apparently this is a company wide issue as my friend in the SF Valley said it's the same over there. Slow! Today they served lukewarm coffee then asked if they could just microwave it to heat it since the pot was made earlier and cold! Unbelievable when you're paying for hot, fresh coffee. Would have given more stars for the bagels if not for the weird worker element and pace. read more

I love this place so much. Friendly staff and yummy bagels! They have specials every so often, too.

The garlic bagel is the best. My family also loves the jalapeño cheese and the flavored cream cheeses are all good. The breakfast sandwiches pretty good. read more

The bagels are always fresh, they are reasonably priced, and the staff is very friendly and efficient

I order the Egg Ala Bagel from here a few times a week and I always love it. I never leave reviews for places, but I really like the service here and the food is always good! :) read more

Not for nothin' as they say, but I worked years at a bagel store in New York. So this ain't some rich Karen bitching to bitch and not understanding food service. But I ordered two dozen bagels and a bunch of cream cheese. Tipped 25% and asked if they could please slice the bagels in half. Something we used to do ALL the time. Came in to pick up first thing in the am, no line, ghost town. I asked if they were able to slice them. Got a pretty curt response "no we don't slice them for deliveries". First off I ordered for Pick Up. And also- what the fucks the difference between delivery or pick up. Then when I tell them it was a pick up not a delivery, she's says, well you need to call it in.... you can't order on the tablet... what tablet? I didn't order with your tablet or any tablet. I ordered a day in advance. Then she goes - we need two hours... I'm sorry what? Fuck I woulda thrown em more of a tip if they said , we didn't but we can slice them now. Well enjoy the tip, but with a bunch of other bagel stores nearby and a shop full of hungry guys for the next 7 months, you won't see me here every week... I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I mean I could care less about the fact the bagels aren't cut at this point. It was the fact that they just didn't want to do it, took the tip, no note about it when I ordered... and the fact she had a bullshit response and kept changing it just cause she didn't want to slice some bagels..... anyways. Sorry folks but yah get a tip for good service and yah get called out for the lame service. read more

I love getting an everything bagel with lox spread, a tomato, avocado, and onion. It makes me super nostalgic for the days I attended UCSC and would get a similar bagel at the Bagelry on foggy, cool mornings. It's super fresh and tasty!!! Today I got an iced coffee for the first time there and it was so so good! read more

A Valencia landmark. Great bagels. Efficient friendly service. Good value. Been coming here for 30+ years. Cinnamon raisin is my favorite.
