    Cream cheese options
    Katherine P.

    Open 24 hours so they always have fresh bagels with lots of variety including different cream, cheese cheeses. the downside is they only take cash or check. Who writes checks nowadays anyway. Staff is friendly and move pretty quickly to get you in and out of there. There's no seating area in here which was fine with me as I just wanted to buy a dozen bagels and cream cheese and take it home.

    Bought a pizza bagel for my kid and some other varieties. Got back to my kid to give him his pizza bagel, and it was cold... I wasn't watching - and the employee didn't warm it. Or even ask...pizza bagels can't really go in a regular toaster either. So, I guess I'll go home and put the top part on the grill. It's just...it's a $3.90 bagel. A bagel, topped with a slice of cheese and a dollop of sauce. Also bought burnt bagel chips - guess that's my fault too. Idk, just starting to feel like Western Bagel is grossly overrated and overpriced. Instead of feeding the locals "direct from factory" bagels at a reasonable price - selling them at store cost was their choice. And cash only. Western Bagel chose violence when they could've swooped in to be the local hero. Ah well. For those that are just as annoyed, Pop's Bagels is legit. Think about it, for just a quarter more, you can get a decent bagel from a fancy place.

    Love their bagels, they are always fresh. The best part they are open 24 hour a day. The employees are always very friendly and helpful.

    The Mothership of all Western Bagel locations in LA, because this is where all the Western Bagel bagels are born. This is the SPOT and the bagels come hot right off the press, being freshest and most delicious, right to your plate 24 hours a day. The shop never closes and has good and fast customer service and a pleasant to-go style ambiance. My ultimate go-to is the everything with jalapeño bagel, extra toasted, with lox cream cheese and a tomato and served open-faced. It's phenomenal and Godly. As you take a bite, you submerge into a whole new world of taste -- cheesy-crispy initially and pillowy tenderness full of cheese, jalapeño and perfectly cooked dough flavor, as you start to chew. One awesome bagel and hits the spot at any time around the clock.

    TLDR: A quick in-and-out with tasty bagels and a morning cup of joe. Parking is easy, but make sure to bring cash, as they are CASH ONLY! - - - - - - Western Bagel is a nice bite on the edge of town, large streets but not as busy around 11am. I walked in for a quick bite with the everything bagel with lox spread and an iced coffee. They unfortunately don't sell lattes here. :( Additionally, there is no eating area, just a big room with bagel displays, a few snacks, a fridge with spread, and a small self service area. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Decades of experience may have helped them perfect their bagels because sheesh they were good. My only disappointment was that the generous amount of lox spread made it difficult to enjoy the bagel. There was probably enough spread there for three bagels! Although there wasn't iced coffee either, I appreciated that the staff improvised and gave me a cup of hot coffee with a cup of ice. The coffee was as expected, and it really hit the spot! A cup of joe to jog the noggin', bold and lightly bitter. Make sure to bring cash though, as they are cash only!

    If You Come Late At Night You Might Be Able To Catch The Bagels Straight Out Of The Oven (That's When They're The Best) This Is My Favorite Bagel Spot. Service Could Be Better, It Just Either Seems Like There Are New Faces That Don't Know What They're Doing Or Old Faces That Don't Want To Be There. Not Very Welcoming. Plenty Of Parking When They're Not To Busy And The Inside Is Pretty Spacious.

    You looking for a good bagel? You gotta come to Western Bagel!
    Morgan K.

    If you're looking for a "good old neighborhood" bagel store that's been around for decades with a little "good old neighborhood" attitude to fully handle all your desired bagel and cream cheese needs, then you gotta come to Western Bagel! I heard about this place from my neighbors...and I mean ALL of my neighbors from my block. ALL my neighbors who seem to ALL be LA Locals, who apparently have ALL tried their bagels...ALL have said the same thing to me: "You're from NYC?, well you gotta go to Western Bagel and try their bagels".... And boy, am I glad I did... from the moment I pulled into the parking lot, I was greeted with parked cars and bagel deficient customers waiting in line to get their bagel fix! I felt right at home as if I was back in NYC....but without the stereotypical New York City impatience and personal space invasion. That's already a win for me! Now, this place brags of old bagel dough history and their staff working feverishly to replenish the bagels already sold is a sight to see! The bagel cages are constantly being emptied and filled! This place is a factory. I'm not kidding, this location actually makes all the bagel dough that they distribute to their other multiple locations! I felt like a kid in a bagel shop....literally!! They got all the flavors you can need or want...and not one bagel cage was empty....because they are open 24/7 and need to be ready for anything at a moment's notice! How awesome is this?! That's crazy! I couldn't choose on which bagel flavor to get so I got one of each....yeah, I'm crazy...one of each...you gotta try them all right? My favorite? The Everything Bagel! I was reminded before I got there to bring some bagels back for the neighborhood! It's the least I can do since they told me about Western Bagel! Wha?, you got a problem with dat!?" See you here!

    When is the best time to get the straight out of the oven hot bagels?

    I was at one of the locations a couple of weeks ago, they were short on the variety that I wanted and said it will be coming out in 10 minutes if I wanted to wait. Therefore you never know when a new hot batch will be coming out

    I need to come back to try their cakes but their pastries are good! The selection is limited…read morethough, as they focus on cakes. I stopped by Sunday around 1 to pick up some pastries on my way to a friend's house. It's located in a plaza with a small parking lot. First thing you notice when you step in is that they have a lot of cakes on display. There's no seating either, it's strictly a grab and go place. Both times I came, someone was picking up a cake ahead of me, so that's definitely what to get here. I asked the cashier, and she said that you can either call or came in person to place a cake order. You can also come by and pick up one of their ready made cakes. Will keep this place in mind for the future. I picked up a number of pastries and tried some of them at my friend's place. Here's what I tried: Slice of vanilla roll cake ($2) - very moist but not much cream Almond croissant ($3.50) - loved the almond filling Sponge cake ($2.75) - delicious! Almond cookie ($0.35 each) - tastes exactly like the almond cookies I ate growing up Cream puff ($2) - this was the only thing I didn't like. The puff layers on both the top and bottom were dry Next time I need a cake, I know where to get it!

But last night I got the cake for my son's birthday, and I got him a 8" très Leche cake; it had slivered almonds on the side, all around and a layer of strawberries inside for $52 All the guests love that, including my son that enjoyed his birthday cake! Honestly, if I can give six stars to that Bakery I would! It is located in Van Nuys off Sherman Way, one block West of Sepulveda! A true treasure of Bakery

    Nice in-market bakery option for the Van Nuys area…read more I stopped by around 9:30 and they were still loading display cases with pastries but a good amount were available then and there The sole cashier was nice and worked fast to help multiple customers at once I ordered a variety of cheese pastries and savory pastries, about 24 total for $45. The pastries are all baked fresh and we're still warm when I got them! They're all good sizes and still relatively cheap like Porto's or 75C bakery I really enjoyed the spinach cheese pastry and although I liked the regular cheese, it seems they use a lower quality feta so it was pretty salty. They're sweet cream cheese pastry was not too sweet but tasted nice and my disappointment with the guava pastry is the food coloring because it was a neon red which it shouldn't be

This cafe is on the right side of the Jons Marketplace right when you walk in. I couldn't decide between the butter croissant or cheese puffs so I asked the lady working which one she would recommend. She said both were good but the cheese puffs are more savory. So I went with the cheese puffs, the bread was okay but I did not like the cheese at all. I think the butter croissant would've been better so next time when I'm back to the dentist.
