Went there last night to get 2 bagels toasted with cream cheese. What i ended up with were two lukewarm bagels with the thinnest spread of cream cheese ever. I couldnt even scrape up the cream cheese with my fingernail. Nothing!!! What a waste of $10 read more

I visited the Granada hills location as soon as they opened at 5AM with an urgent situation of needing 900 bagels ASAP for a work event. As soon as I explained what was going on their AM female manager (I feel terrible I cannot remember her name) she was incredibly helpful and so kind. She told me she didn't have all the bagels I needed but called the Van Nuys location and gave them a heads up that I would be coming over to get more from them. She was able to give me around 300 bagels which I dropped off to get our event started then headed over to the Van Nuys location. They had already started preparing the bagels for me. Rosie helped me and she was absolutely wonderful. They did inform me that their location was cash only which was also an issue. They found a workaround for me to pay the Granada Hills location with my card since I couldn't get enough cash on short amount of time and needed the bagels ASAP. it's so nice to see there is still compassion and human kindness in the world and for them to be so understanding and willing to help in my time of crisis. This is truly an incredible team and our event was flawless and no one would have ever known about our bagel crisis thanks to Western Bagel. I will be ordering from you guys for all future events. I would also like to add our staff LOVED the bagels and constantly being asked where they came from because they were so soft and delicious. Thank you so much! read more

I have so much nostalgia for the bagels here , back when my dad used to pick these up on his way home from work and they would still be warm in the bag. So Friday night at 10pm, I get a hankering for egg bagels - so we get there just as they pulled a fresh tray of egg bagels out of the oven. Omg ...this is last meal on earth level ... $18.75 for a bakers dozen, cash or check only (ATM inside too), open 24/7 (for real) and they do have a variety of neat flavors like strawberry , chocolate chip, cinnamon crunch etc. Worth every penny. read more

Always a delight coming to western bagel, love their selections and their strawberry cream cheese. They have other items but if you're just looking for a quick bagel fix, this place is your go to! Parking so quite small but usually empty's out quick as people do a quick grab and go. Staff is friendly and I believe they don't take card just cash but they do have an atm onsite. read more

The Service is fantastic. The Bagel was fresh and warm. The selection is wide and interesting

I have been getting my bagels at this location for more than 40 years, my recent visit i was thrown for a loop when the bagel professional informed me that it would cost an additional .80 cent per bagel to be toasted. When i first started buying my bagels at western bagel in 1985 a cost of a dozen bagels was 3.75 per dozen now at a-cost of more than $27 per dozen i find it insulting to charge .80 to toast a bagel since the toaster is on 24 hrs a day. Who ever came up with this policy should be fired. Shame on you , i don't know another bagel shop or donut shop or restaurant that charges extra to toast a bagel, shame shame on you. I own a fast food establishment for 42 years our main product are burgers, i do not or will never charge to toast a bun for a burger. Again shame on you. read more

Bagels are iconic. New menu items are good. Service is excellent, even if it gets busy. But...they do not accept credit cards. This is a major issue since some of us want to move towards cashless payment methods. The ATM is the biggest scam: $3.50 per transaction. So now my lunch goes from $14 to $17.50!! AND, $3.50 is more than a single bagel. Very disappointing. read more

I truly believe that they do have the best bagels available. Their different tastes are outstanding. The only downfall are their prices for very expensive. Also, I wished they had longer hours. read more

Love love love western bagel. I have been coming for years since I was a kid and it had been a while since I've been here and let me tell you it hit the spot. I had been craving a bagel for a long time and having braces had not helped. I've learned to eat a bagel without breaking a bracket. I got a onion bagel toasted with cream cheese and tomato open faced. Service was amazing and I was in and out within 5 minutes. I'm glad this location is open 24 hours read more

Western bagel is just so so, not my favorite bagel place around. A decent grab when your car is getting repaired across the street but the menu doesn't have as many options as some other places and nothing in particular stands out. Reliable decent bagel. read more

Friendly help ready before we were as it was our first time in a Western Bagel shop. The food was prepared promptly for us to take away as all orders are to go as there is no dining area within the establishment, which we knew going in. We both had egg on a bagel, she had a cheese onion bagel and I chose and onion bagel and added pepperjack cheese to my egg with a side of hashbrown patty. It was as expected for a nickel shy of $12 for our order. I'll likely return to try another of many bagels that caught my eye. read more

Poor customer service ,the workers don't care how they talk to you.Food is mid tbh especially with how much they charge.

Sooooo, i couldn't imagine a better bagel spot in the Valley. Always great customer service and pretty cheap prices for what you get. The whipped cream cheese I's the best ever and so is are flavored ones. read more

24-hour places are hard to come by and fun late at night. The corporate location of Western Bagel in Van Nuys is both. They have bagels, pastries, sandwiches, hotdogs, hashbrowns, oven-roasted turkey, grilled cheese, eggs, lox, coffee, and orange juice. The staff there is really on the ball and efficient. I enjoy the atmosphere of the giant tanks of carbon dioxide for the bagel-making process. You have to get it to go because there's no sit-down tables, so I just ate in my car. Located on Sepulveda near Saticoy, it's nice to know that this 24-hour Western Bagel is still here after all these years. read more

First note * it's open 24 hours !!! (At least that's what the sign says) Second note * cash only ! Thirdly * is this place for real ?!?! I mean, it is 7 o'clock in the evening now, it's been raining all day, and people keep walking in and getting bagels consistently. They must be doing something right, I literally made a U-turn and came to scout this place out. Located In an inconspicuous neighborhood, with out so much of a curve appeal but you get out of the car and the smell just hits you !! Yes, yes!!! Fresh !!! The bakery is attached in the back and they are going nonstop around the clock producing amazing bagels. What else can a man need? Super bagels !!! read more

Incredible Bagels; one of two best bagel shops in LA...and that's saying something . Western Bagel is much more accessible as there are numerous outlets in the valley. Excellent bagels! read more

Price is redúceles awful customer service first time going and uuum nope I love the cream cheese

I had no idea a place could mess up bagels until today. Tastes like chemicals. WILDLY BAD. Edit/Update: Dear Western Bagel, I don't appreciate your response. Get off your pedestal. Rude much? Mistakes do happen: Me choosing "LA's oldest" bagel shop. Guess all these daily customers you speak of prefer mid. Now kindly stop gaslighting customer reviews, I don't plan to email you details of my experience: I said it! IT WAS BAD! Worst tasting bagels I've ever had, and "I stand by that." read more

So disappointed. Drove 2 1/2 hours from the desert to get a supply of garlic bagels (2 dozen) only to discover 2 1/2 hours later when I got home the clerk behind the counter gave me sesame bagels (which I could have easily gotten in the desert). I wasted 5 hours in traffic and lost over $50 in merchandise. (He did get the order for a dozen bialy sticks right.) Unfortunately they only take cash at this location which means I can't even complain to my cr card company. Wrote to Western Bagel and can only hope they might send me a correct order. read more

CASH OR CHECK ONLY! We love coming here for fresh bagels. They are open 24hrs and the bagels are always delicious no matter what time of day. They have lots of different cream cheeses; including a vegan one too which is nice. read more

First time trying the Italian bagel, it was a nice little pick me up for lunch. Also, this Passion Fruit juice hit the spot! No cards accepted, cash & checks only! So to my Apple payers, it won't work here. There is an ATM machine inside! Giving 4 stars for that ! Other than that, bagel was 10/ 10 read more

Open 24hrs and serving fresh/delicious bagels... this place is incredible. Offering a huge bagel variety and various bagel sandwiches, this specific Western Bagel is a bagel lovers dream. I specifically love their cheese bagels (a bagel with cheese melted on top). Friendly staff, clean bagel showcase, and a refrigerator stocked with a wide variety of cream cheese and spreads. This place is a bagel lovers paradise!! (cash only fyi) read more

I love bagels! Like I can have it everyday with butter or cream cheese or even with peanut butter and jelly but how small are they getting? Smaller than the New York bagel for sure ... see picture I took. Hubby bought bagels from New York and what a difference in taste and in size read more

Sulema provided EXCELLENT service. You will never find a better employee than her. I remember before she took my order there was a VERY picky customer who was requesting the craziest things, but Sulema was sweet and patient and provided the most amazing service ever. I will be back!!! read more

The only reason why I'm giving this place 5 star was because one of the employees really turned this experience around for me. My roommates came in the night before for some lox sandwich, came home and was a weird odor to them. Called right away and spoke with Jose and assured us to replace the sandwiches the next morning, however, he did say Rosie was going to be there. So I went the next day and had the sandwiches remade. I asked to speak to Rosie and they said that she's busy and can't come out and Jose is off for the day. So the employee, which, I totally forgot her name, which she totally saved them from getting a 1 star said she needed to speak to her manager regarding the replacement. Then I guess the gates of heaven has opened and comes out Rosie from the back and said, ummmm...do you have a receipt? Not even a "hi good morning" I explained to her that we called in yesterday and talked to one of her assistant managers named Jose, she then said, she spoke with Jose and he said it was only 2. But I thought he was off? So...this is awkward. I wasn't really in the mood to get into a verbal argument and so I just took the L and was ok to pay again for the extra 2, but the way she addressed me so aggressively and making it seem like I was trying to 1up a $5 bagel on her seemed super unprofessional. Look, this is your job, as a manager you are supposed to de-escalate the issue not escalate them even more. So I had to check her and said, "is there a problem?" Because she really needed to fix her attitude. I'm not coming into your home and kicking it, this is a place of business so Rosie a word of advice, be professional. Anyway, the employee helping was super amazing and that's why I decided to leave a 5 star. I sure do hope someone in the higher ups read this, so they know I mean no malice, but if when people get too comfortable in their position they tend to act like a God, or in this case a Goddess. So do us all a favor Rosie, get off your high horse and be thankful for this opportunity and take it a lesson. Thanks! PS. I will find out this employees name and will do another review. She deserves the credit. After all Rosie, she really saved you. read more

Bring cash or the cheap owner will charge you extra. I'm not good at the maths, so if someone can help me out and tell me what the grand total of my experience at Western Bagel was... $3.50 ATM fee plus $1.95 service charge from my bank. Two bagels and a small orange juice for $6.70 One of my biggest pet peeves is greed. Here's your 1 star. Gnosh on that, slick. Good bagels, though. I'll say that much. Parking wasn't bad, either. read more

Oh yes, Western Bagel has become better and better with each visit. Service has always been great, I usually see different people working but everyone is friendly or at least attentive and works fast. I've been at different times throughout the morning between 5am and 8am and at various crowd levels, but I have never waited more than 5 minutes for my food. Last time I ordered a cheese bagel with lox spread that was delicious! A cripsy cheese bagel with soft interior and full of creamy cream cheese and savory smokey salmon! This recent trip I received the Bagel Brad offer for a $4 turkey bagel a la egg and I decided to add cheddar cheese and lox spread (think of it as a smoke salmon eggs benedict!) Again a delicious bagel and spread, but WOW do they pile on the turkey! There was so much turkey on this it's more than what most sandwich places give you for a 6inch sub. The eggs were warm and fluffy too. And I could not forget the cinnamon crumb cake, so fluffy and lightly sweet! read more

Western Bagel - $4.00 turkey egg a la bagel special, on cheese bagel with lox spread and cheddar cheese. One of the best breakfast sandwiches around - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Always my go-to for bagels to go. Friendly staff and excellent bagels. In particular, I like the salt bagels. Getting there is tricky because of traffic and Roscoe Blvd is always a mess by the freeway but worth going. Only accept cash. read more

This is one of my favorite bagel places to come to! One of the only spots to carry egg dough bagels as well as they always give you the right amount of cream cheese. My only problem is the customer service. I'm nervous everytime I walk in to see what kind of service I am going to get. 80% of the time it seems it's a problem that I am there to order and the staff makes it seem like I am putting them out by just making my order. It's just disappointing as I do love the product here, the customer service just keeps me from coming in time to time. read more

I've been a loyal customer for 60 years and have noticed significant changes recently, including smaller bagels and a decrease in quality. Tonight, I received a tub of wild berries; the cream cheese was spread up the sides but dipped in the center where the sticker is placed making it appear as if I received a full tub, what are you people thinking? read more

Probably the best bagel spot in LA, great prices and variety.Grab a breakfast sandwich while you're there, you won't be disappointed!

Bagels are fine, sometimes they are out of what I want but that's business. Don't like that it's cash or check only. Seriously it's 2023 get some tech. Service was terrible. Got straight ignored for 5 minutes before the girl with glasses and name that started with C even acknowledged my presence. She first thought it was more important to get herself coffee, pay for it, then go outside and yell at someone before rudely asking what I wanted. Then to hear her attitude change for the guy behind me who ordered in Spanish... not to make assumptions but you see where I'm getting at. Can't post her full name as she wore her name tag on the side of her hat and not her shirt where people can actually see it. If you don't want to work there, don't. read more

What more can I say, bagels 24/7 at their production facility in Van Nuys. Strolled in, grabbed 7 doz of my favs before driving back home. Cheery people behind the counter at 4:30 am, not the typical retail experience. Everyone's tastes are different and I find Western Bagel to be my favorite, but they're smaller with more "chew" than others, so they're not for everyone. But I've been feasting on them for decades now, and never pass up on the opportunity when I'm in town. read more

Food was dismal and seemed picked over when I arrived at 2:30 PM. Service demanded use cash only on the the in storte atm that the landlord must make a significant payment from. I will continue to use the Chatsworth store as this one is trending down. I gave them back their food and had a nice lunch at home. read more

Cash and to go only at this location! Personally I love this location, as it is open 24 hours and sometimes a warm bagel at 1am is just what one needs. It usually is a bit crowded when I go around 7/8 in the morning, but it's always worth the wait. read more
