So this is why I usually go to the Western Bagel in Northridge on Plummer rather than this location on Sepulveda Boulevard. Today I went to the Sepulveda one as it was on my way to Costco. I always ask for the onion bagels to be medium color on top. So I say I don't want it too light but I don't want too dark. The employees at the Northridge store always get it right. Today at the Sepulveda store I said the same thing to the guy. Well maybe this guy's idea of not too dark is way off from mine, but as you can see from the photo the bagels were really dark. I don't like them too dark that's why I specifically asked not too dark and not too light. I didn't actually look at the bagels because I was getting the cream cheese. I guess I will have to check every time I come to the Sepulveda. On the plus side, the guy was nice. The employees tend to be very nice and I like the cream cheese. read more

Western Bagel - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Their bagels are super fresh, I usually get their jalapeno cheese bagel. Also their ice coffee is good and cheap.

***Large group to go orders beware*** Well this is bad. I am thankful they are AT LEAST open 24 hours. I came here at around 3:00pm on a Saturday to place an order for pickup the next day at 6:30am, (a Sunday). It was a large group order, so a bunch of Bagels, cream cheeses, & coffee. I then paid and left- and yes, I did this IN person- face to face with a non robot...or so I thought... FFWD to Sunday- I came to pick up my order and not only was it NOT ready, the order taker wasn't there and never initiated the order to BE there assembled for me at pick up. If you DEPEND on them to do their job so YOU can cater your event that folks paid money to attend and demanding to be fed these bagels and coffee- proceed with caution and make sure to arrive a good half hour earlier that your scheduled pick up time. They even treated me like poop when I asked for a discount due to their super sucky mistake. The order taker had my order printed on their order pad that prints duplicates... it's not like scribbled on a napkin- but they still lost it. Certainly not ideal, but they at least have a decent price and offerings ***IF*** you are willing to jump thru their icky hoops. read more

Well I love bagels so the fact that this place is open 24/7 deserves 5 stars!!!!!!! And it's about 10min from my house....yep I love it. Bagels were fresh and yummy. Cream cheese very nice!!!!! Only con: It's cash and Check only. I carrey neither really. I only use Check to pay my rent lolol ... read more

This is a must try place in L.A. and they have a delicious assortment of bagels and pastries. I have tried most of the bagels in here, especially when there aren't also of places open at 4am. The employees are very nice at every location. Must tries would be the Salt, Cinnamon Rolls, The Everything, Jalapeno with jalapeno cream cheese and their turkey sandwich on your choice of bagel. Their is not kuch else to say aboit thisnplace except its an overall great bagel chain with an outstanding assortment. read more

This was my first time going here - just on a whim looking for a quick breakfast spot nearby The place is small but don't let that fool you because the selection of bagels is huge. This is more of a Grab-N-Go place to eat, since there are no places to eat. Also, parking lot is very small. Also, always bring cash because they don't take cards. One item is a must: Cheese Bagel smothered with Cream Cheese in the middle. Gets you salivating for more! I definitely would come here again :) read more

Friendly staff, tasty bagels that are both crispy/chewy when toasted, and great cream cheese. Always a line in the mornings. Prices are REASONABLE. Location is not as big as the Woodland Hills location, but the selection is the same, except for drinks. Not as many cold drinks here. Also, there's nowhere to sit, you grab your bagels and leave. Oh, and it's cash only. For these reasons, it's 4 instead of 5 stars. read more

Western Bagel - Entrance - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Pros: - Open 24/7, so you can get bagels anytime you want. - The store is located right in front of the factory, so you will get fresh/warm bagels occasionally. - Bagels are so soft and chewy. Recommend: always have to get a pizza bagel when I come. It has a sweet/thick tomato sauce and is covered with some cheese (not sure what kind). I like to microwave mine for about 15 seconds, but be careful cause the middle can get hot! Cons: - Cash only - wasn't a fan of the Jalapeno cheese bagel. It had a weird taste to me. read more

Shady af. Tried to charge me $9 for a bagel w/ cream cheese and coffee. No seats or place to sit, cash only, crappy parking, slow service with an attitude. read more

Great food and the lady that helped me and my friend at 2am was so sweet. Really nice people and great food. Good energy. :))

First time coming to this location and I had a bad experience. I ordered 2 bagels & once I was ready to pay the girl only handed me one. I told her I had ordered two so she went ahead and made our second one . She didn't seem bothered but once I got home & saw my orders I was so disappointed !! The girl put an extreme amount of cream cheese on our bagels to the point where we had to scrape a lot of it off. It didn't know even look appetizing at all ... I guess she was feeling a little too generous with the cream cheese. SMH read more

The best bagels in LA bar none. Been coming here since the 50's when I was a child with my grandparents. Always get a dozen everything bagels. read more

So convenient that it was next to a car dealer shop. I was stressed and hangry. I go over, no seating. I order a turkey sandwich since I haven't eaten all day. When it comes time to pay, I find out that they take cash or check only.... soooo convenient. I luckily had a bill in my purse. I leave and then realize that I was given chicken instead of turkey, but it was too late and far to turn back around. read more

I've been here twice this week and both times I've been unfortunate enough to be attended by the same cashier.... Ms Cassandra whom is the most unpleasant person. I know you're at work and work suck but you don't have to be an ass to customers who aren't being rude. Anyways she goes out of her way to make sure you know she doesn't want to make your bagel I ordered 4 bagels and she put them in a bag and gave them to me I said I wanted them prepared and she starred at me and then said cream cheese? yeah I said prepared right. Anyways she processes to ring me up takes my money then stabs my change back in my palm with her long-ass nails and goes ahead to make my bagels I came back hoping she wasn't there because she was so rude first time but it was late at night I was hoping she was night shift only but no there she was ready to make sure I never want to come here again and I guess I won't I guess I'll have to start making my own bagels or find a new place ‍ read more

I have eaten here on occasion it's usually a lot of money for a bagel and today was no different. I got a bagel sand-which consisting of 2 oz turkey, mustard and mayo on a cheese bagel with a small thing of chips and a small drink for $11.00 which I think is a lot for so little. But the Owners have to charge a lot to pay for their bentleys each of them drive and not to mention they refuse to turn on their a/c lower then 78 so while I was waiting I was so hot I to step outside while my bagel was being made as it was cooler outside at 85 then inside that place. I feel bad for the employees that work their it's like a sweat shop but then again the owners have to pay for their Bentley read more

Western Bagel - This small bag of chips and 2 oz of turkey cost $11 that is just ridiculous ... yeah it tastes ok but good grief - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Great bagels in Los Angeles and close to my house, just remember to bring cash (as the ATM will charge you). And since this is the factory they always have their full selection! Delicious bagels, and decent parking. read more

I had a bad experience at the Granada location so I went here came to a lady in a white shirt who was rude and it was CASH ONLY? she did not even tell me....She also was just bashing workers and talking badly of others idk what kind of people they are they need to take customer service classes and most of the girls were rude and gave me attitude on my Wednesday afternoon trying to enjoy my day ... Idk how they even work there I was so mad I had to pay the atm to charge me for a burnt bagel the meal was not worth the price read more

This place was my go to but after tonight never ever AGAIN ur 24/7 have bunch of bagels ready your always out of my fav bagel all the damn time the Everything Cheese Jalapeño or everything cheese it's not that hard .Calling corporate the rude ass employee too. read more

Great fresh bagels, as always, but it seems the store is a little smaller than I remember pre-COVID. Always a valley go-to! Will be back the next time we're in CA! read more

My 1st visit here. I was taken back for a few seconds. I wasn't sure what I wanted. Their large selection of bagels and busy morning was a little uncomfortable for me but once I was able to chose my bagels, I was happy and I must say truly the best bagels I've ever had. read more

The best bagels in the USA bar none. Best egg, salt, onion, poppy seed and all others with many choices of spreads and coffee. We have loved Western Bagel for many year. If I remember correctly from the 1960's on. Even now when in The Valley from Sacramento I need to stop and bring bagels for our family. The Wizard of the Zapata Legions of the North... pd read more

The greatest bagel on the west coast. A must have. Been going to this location since the 1980's. Granted, they haven't updated the building in a long time so it's a little grimey inside but the bagels make it all worthwhile. 24/7! read more

This is where you go to get FRESH (I mean straight from baking fresh) bagels. If you see them dumping a hot batch into the display case, consider getting that flavor. The staff is always nice he efficient, and the stock is well kept. Don't forget to tip the excellent service on your way out! read more

That wonderful fresh baked smell gets me every time! Ordered the hot turkey s on a onion begal and it did not disappoint! Turkey was carved right off the bone moist and delicious! A little pricy but worth it! read more

My boss wanted to treat the staff today for "International Women's Day" so we came here. Now we norrmmmaallyyyy go to Panera Bread but she wanted to give Western Bagel a try. (I warned her it wasn't all that to begin with) Strike 1 - If you buy a dozen, you have to buy cream cheese separately. Strike 2 - They CHARGE you to toast and slice your bagel (C'MON NOW. That's like going to Taco Bell and they charge you for sauce #theytrippin) Strike 3 - The lady must've been having a bad day, because she was ridiculously aggy and RUDE. Moral of the story..... STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW. I wish I knew her name. read more

I was shocked and disappointed to have gone to this original location for the first time - a special trip on an early Saturday evening - hoping to get their best & freshest example of their bagels. One I got was dry and tough, the other is hard as a rock and will need to be treated before it can even be eaten! read more

Why on earth did they drop their delicious, fresh handmade muffins for pre-wrapped ones from a third party, which are much smaller, less fresh and less flavorful? If they're trying to save money by lowering quality, they're driving away customers as well! Very disappointing! read more

I frequently go to Western Bagel since they have such a good selection of awesome bagels with numerous ingredients. I signed up for their bagel club so that I can get free bagels after a certain number of trips. I especially like the everything bagel. They are so loaded with all kinds of goodies. I am a big fan of their cream cheese. The Jalapeno is my favorite. They also have strawberry, lox and even creamy dill as well as plain and whipped. They also have a good selection of breakfast sandwiches made to order with fresh sliced Turkey Breast, Ham and at times they have some roast beef. They coffee is ok but not the best. I won't complain about it since each person puts the amount of cream and sugar that they desire. The lines are nominal and move quickly with their single line system or even with the express line that is for bagels or coffee only. The service here is generally pretty good as the employees are well trained to give good customer service. The parking is ample and the stores are well lit. I will come back to this location when in the area. read more

Bullet S. and I stopped by this place because I was craving for a bagel. The girls who worked there were very friendly and nice. I asked for a sample of their bagels...and they gave me a WHOLE bagel! Wah?!? They had a lot of different types of flavors so it was very hard to choose a bagel...I ended up just letting the girl choose a bagel with their cream cheese for me. I had the spinach cream cheese with onion bagels..it was delicious. She was very generous with the spinach cream cheese. There's plenty of parking in their parking lot. great service. Will definitely be back! :) read more

This place gets major brownie points for being 24 hrs. Plus, the bagels are always fresh since they're baking new batches around the clock. They also have good deals from time to time (1 dozen bagels + cream cheese = $7.99). But as much as I like this place, there's some shady things going on. First of all, they only take cash, which is ridiculous since other Western bagels have already become credit card friendly. Secondly, they always seem to be understaffed and of course the one person who's working is super slow. Thirdly, they're located in this huge factory-looking building and there's ALWAYS cops around here, going in and out of the back kitchen area, which makes me believe that there's a sex trade going on here. Or maybe even drug trafficking! I may be way in over my head but that's my theory. read more

This is THE Western Bagel. Located in a highly industrial area of Van Nuys it's most definitely not much to look at but once you enter the doors the smells and sights put all doubts aside. There are two large glass bakers display cases filled with beautiful bagel deliciousness and one filled with specialty bagels and pastries. Everything here is so fresh because it literally gets made steps behind the counter in the factory. If you are in there more than ten minutes chances are you will see someone sweep through those magical push doors holding a heaping basket of bagels and dumping them into the case. I have tried EVERY(Yes every) kind of bagel here and they are all delicious. Egg, Onion, Everything w/ cheese, Cinnamon Raisin and my new splurge the Cinnamon cheese danish... Mmmmmmm. The bagels here totally take me back to being a kid so now I bring all of my friends here when they are in the mood for a late night (did I mention they are open 24 HOURS!!!!) carb fest. NOTE: Cash only so come prepared. read more

Just finished an egg bagel with cream cheese, tomato and red onion. Ahhhhhhh. I've frequented this particular Western Bagel and the location on Santa Monica Blvd in West LA so many times I've lost count. Stopping in before work when I was prego was a thing for Rice and I. Often, my favs are the jalapeno bagel with cream cheese (toasted? Hello, yes! who eats bagels untoasted?) or at this time of year, they've got pumpkin! And two things that go together like the moon & June are Pumpkin and Cream Cheese! These bagels are larger than some other little bagel shops I've visited as well. Sadly, here, you've got to be ready to pay cash. Cash? That's sooooo 1998! read more

24 Hours of yummy yummy bagels and cream cheese. I particularly like the EVERYTHING CHEEEEESE bagel with onion or garlic cream cheese. Last i went there, Pizza Bagels were all out, maybe because there were so many freakin Pigs there at 2am. They eaten everything up like the Pigs they are!!! hahahahaha Nomtastic! read more

Pretty terrible second experience I've ever had. I bought a small coffee that was only worth $2. After her pouring me the coffee she says she only takes cash.. we don't live in the 1960s anymore since 2018, businesses that only take cash is a joke. I end up having to withdraw money from an ATM she pointed to, and I spent more money taking out money rather than the price of the coffee. Pretty damn ridiculous if you ask me. I was going to leave one star but the bagels are pretty good, especially the onion bagel. Business advice would be to let me know before I order that they only take cash because nowhere inside have I seen any signs about it. If they upgrade to more 21st century machine this review might change but for now my experience was a joke and I felt scammed. read more

after leaving the bar, my friend says friend: "want some bagels?" me: "wtf, where the hell do we get bagels? its 1AM" friend: "western bagel! open 24 hours!" who needs bagels in the middle of the night? drunk bastards like myself? heh. i tried the jalapeno cheese bagel with cream cheese. it was pretty damn good but gaddamn do you want some bagel with your cream cheese? there was a shit load of cream cheese! like probably like a half a CUP hahahahaha oh and i believe its cash only. read more

Western Bagel - Jalapeno Cheese Bagel with Cream Cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This is such a cool find in the valley. Living in West la, I grew up eating Noah's bagels. It was not until I started working in the valley that I got to experience western bagels. This location is great in that it is open 24 hrs. They toast the bagels and give generous amounts of cream cheese. The line can get busy, but there are enough employees to make it move quickly. The staff is nice and can their job efficiently. There is a private parking lot and it's directly on the corner, so you can't miss it! The only downside for this location is that they are cash only. I k own the Encino location accepts cards, but this one doesn't. Other than that, it's a great bagel place and I wouldn't mind coming more often for my bagel fix! :) read more

I'm going to be honest, the menu seems intimidating. I don't want to be that person who holds up the line, but there's so many options. I went with what I was comfortable with in the end as I didn't want to be that "Umm umm" person. But definitely I will be back again to try their other bagels and spreads. Maybe with a game plan in mind. I ordered three baggies full of bagels that I literally took a bite out of each one. Each one as good as the one before. Kind of a disgusting thing I would never do but I just wanted to sample everything. Plus if there's any consolation to it now nobody will touch my food and when I come back from work it'll still be there. Plus plus if you ask me. They're very generous with their spreads but in the same regards they do charge you for it. It comes out to 3 dollars for a bagel with spread from what I can tell and about 1.50 for without. They also have some prebaked pizza bagel concoctions on the side that are 1.50 with cheese jalapeno and salsa baked onto it. Definitely a great place for on the go morning food. They only accept cash and checks that are issued within CA. read more

Every time we place an order ahead of time, they can't seem to get the order even close to right. This has happened time and time again. I love their bagels, but they can not seem to fulfill an order properly. read more
