    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!

    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 want to raise a concern that reflects a broader operational issue rather than a single…read moreinteraction. There appears to be a pattern of inconsistent customer service and engagement that, intentionally or not, creates unnecessary friction for customers attempting to place orders. As a long-standing customer of Noah's Bagels, it is concerning that employees are not adequately trained on the functionality of the company's own app or how it integrates with delivery platforms like DoorDash. Customers rely on staff to provide accurate, basic information about ordering options, and that expectation is currently not being met. In a recent interaction today, I attempted to place a delivery order and asked for very simple modifications as I always do, specifically adding onion and having sauce on the side. I was told these options were available on both the Noah's app and DoorDash, which was not the case. When I sought clarification, I was rudely and initially directed back to the app with incorrect information, and ultimately told to come in person if I wanted those basic requests accommodated. This response overlooks the main purpose of delivery services, and was condescending. Customers choose delivery because they are managing time constraints and responsibilities. Suggesting an in-person visit as the only solution defeats that purpose entirely, and is frustrating when someone is also responsible for a lunch order for others, and a customer's time is limited. As a result of this interaction, I lost approximately 15 minutes navigating inaccurate information, only to be left without a viable solution. More importantly, the tone of the interaction conveyed a lack of ownership and accountability, and was very immature and dismissive. Also, to be clear: this is not simply a customer service issue at the individual level. It points to a need for stronger training, clearer internal communication, and accountability around customer experience, and product knowledge. Employees should be equipped to accurately explain ordering channels, app capabilities, menu items/ingredients and be able to come up with reasonable alternatives when issues arise. As a manager, being on top of these things, would significantly improve both efficiency and customer satisfaction, especially for loyal customers who are willing to pay for convenience but expect a baseline level of competence and support in return. Lastly, please be mindful that, for example, turning away an average of 10 potential delivery customers per day due to your staff providing unhelpful and discourteous service, who are willing to spend $25-$50 per order, can result in significant annual losses for this store.
