    This warm, cozy, nostalgic bagel shop sits right in front of their impressive warehouse. It's amazing that this little shop carries bagels people all over the U.S. are eating in the morning and in between busy schedules. They have a great selection of fresh bagels. I was already a fan of their cinnamon raisin, but this time I also got to try their strawberry. There is a small selection of sweet treats too. I had no idea they carried conchas. The staff here is extremely attentive and kind too. I would recommend checking out this spot as someone who loves bagels and is interested in the history of the San Fernando Valley.

    I love Western Bagel but our recent visit to this location was a little disappointing. First off, I ALWAYS forget this location is cash only so I have come in on a couple other occasions and had to leave because I didn't have cash (they do have an ATM but I'm an apple pay girlie). The bagel itself, was delicious! The lox on my bagel did not have the best flavor unfortunately. I was also super bummed that they don't have iced coffee! The location in Encino has iced coffee and I love it so much, so I assumed all locations would have it. I guess the locations differ. Service here was good and quick! It's never really that busy and there is plenty of parking in the lot.

    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.

    Improvised Iced Coffee

    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!

    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 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 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.

Makes your soul happy. After looking at the menu, which is hefty ish, went up and placed my order. The Weezy, with a creme brulee top, freshly bruleed to order, was decent. I was looking for that glassy, crackly brulee you get from the actual dessert, but that was not here. Flavor wise, it tasted like a regular cinnamon roll with a little burn to it. Not my favorite. The X, which comes with cinnamon toast crunch on top, was pretty good, with the extra cinnamon from the cereal, though some of the cereal pieces tasted a little stale. Still a tasty bun! Finally was the Missy, with strawberry shortcake crumbles and fresh strawberries. Probably the winner in terms of flavor and everything going on. You get the regular bun underneath with the cream cheese glaze, then the crunch from the shortcake crumbles filled by those pops of fresh strawberries. Just a great bite and, honestly, not overly sweet compared to the others. Overall, nice and friendly staff, great vibe, music was on point and creative cinnamon rolls. Definitely get the Missy, pass on the Weaxy and, if you love cinnamon toast crunch, get the X.
