The food was outstanding, definitely one of the best bagels I have had. Absolutely the best in the South Bay. Also their Vietnamese coffee is such a refreshing drink that will wake you up. Definitely coming back soon! Al's their service was really nice and welcoming! read more

5th Ave Bagelry - Turkey - Bacon Sandwhich - Bagels Near Me - Torrance, California

I tried the turkey sandwich. Easy to eat, tastes good and it's got enough meat to call it a sandwich. It was packed but still it came out quickly. Parking isn't too terrible but the slots are narrow. I would do it again. No complaints. read more

This was a solid bagel spot. It's a small mom and pop business that just focuses on bagels and bagel sandwiches. It's a casual, no frills type place. The service was friendly and they were quick with orders. There are a few tables to sit at but otherwise it's more of a to-go spot. I only ordered an everything bagel and a sesame bagel. Both were decent sized and super soft to the point where I could cut it with a plastic knife. It was soft enough to eat as is but I like a good toasty edge. I appreciate the toppings were on both sides. There's nothing as disappointing as splitting a bagel with someone and getting stuck with the topping less bottom half. Grrrr... I'd definitely return for a bagel sandwich next time. read more

Sad to write this review :( bagels are not bad, you do have to ask for them to be cut in half though. I'm more disappointed because the chive cream cheese is not chive but more green onion cream cheese read more

Disclaimer: I'm from New York. I've grown up eating bagels my whole life, including my family making them at home. But I'm also not a bagel snob. I don't really care how big the hole is, how fluffy or cakey the bagels are, where the water comes from, etc. I just care if it tastes good. That's it. Driving through the South Bay, I saw there was a bagel shop up the road, and decided to check them out. Whenever I go to a bagel shop, I check for 2 things: 1.) Variety. Do they have a good selection? Maybe I want an everything bagel, maybe I want a blueberry. I gotta see them first hand to know what I want. 2.) Orange Juice. There's nothing like a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice to go with a bagel! Check and check! We're in business. The shop had customers seated at the tables in the front, enjoying conversation over breakfast. This was a good sign. The owner immediately greeted me and asked if I had any questions. He was a very friendly guy, as was the wife and daughter. I'm pretty sure this is a family business, which is very cool, and something I want to support! We had a chat about bagels, New York, Philly, and Los Angeles while the bagels were being made. It's nice to have shop owner who's friendly and personable, especially when they're making your food. The prices are a little higher than usual, but still competitive. So it's fine. The bagel sandwiches were wrapped in Boar's Head foil and given to me in a brown paper bag. I felt like a kid getting my lunch for school. It was very comforting! I grabbed my OJ and headed out. When I opened up the package, the heavenly smell of bacon, egg, and cheese wafted up and filled my car. Purely divine. The bagel sandwich was delicious. The bagel: not too hard, not too soft. Its flavor blended well with the egg, cheese, and bacon (which was nice and crispy). And the orange juice was the perfect chaser. I'm glad I found a new bagel shop to add to my list, and will be sure to check them out again soon! read more

It is such a treat when I get their bagels! I absolutely love The Works bagel with plain cream cheese - so much so, that I usually need to grab a second one! read more

Super honest review: the service was really good and they seemed like really nice people. The lady was very helpful and friendly :) There were many choices so we tried to get a little bit of everything to try since it had such great reviews but I think I agree with the guy who said the bagels feel like they are from Walmart. The spinach one was quite hard and dense even after toasting. And while the others felt soft, they were sponge-y and cakey. Honestly feel like Noah's is better but it's always good to try a small business when possible! As for ambiance, there's a little bit of seating but not much as it's a pretty small shop. There's tons of parking as well. Try it for yourself but personally, it wasn't for me :( read more

I would call these bagel adjacent. If there were such a thing as a baguette bagel, this would probably be similar. The inside texture is airy and the outside is crisp. I would have preferred more lox cream cheese because it is fairly thick and a bit dry. I'll have to try one of their breakfast "bagels" to see if added ingredients helps. The service was pleasant and prompt. Overall, I would try it again, but ask for extra cream cheese. read more

Excellent Bagelry. Small place with limited seating, but clean and very friendly staff. We were looking for place that we could pick up a quick breakfast and also to keep for lunch. This place was perfect, the fresh breakfast bagel sandwhiches were delicious and the lunch bagels held up well and was great for our lunch. We got two breakfast sandwiches, Denver and NY. One on everything bagel and another on a jalapeño cheddar. Both bagels were soft and fresh, plenty of filling. Both great to eat right away when they're nice and warm For lunch, we got the pastrami on jalapeño cheddar and turkey on garlic bagel. I really enjoyed the pastrami and all of its fillings. The sprouts were nice touch. The turkey was good, standard sandwhich. I made the mistake of throwing them in my backpack since we did a lot walking and wow the you can definitely tell there was garlic on that bagel as my backpack still smells like garlic days later All in all, I'd consider this place a hidden gem. Fair prices, delicious bagels. I'll be back, maybe take some sweet bagels home and their spreads. I do want to try the Vietnamese coffee next time read more

So maybe all these people who give this place 5 star reviews have never been to New York and had a proper bagel.....since the bagels here taste like the substandard bagels one would buy in the refrigerator section at Walmart. They don't boil their bagels here which is an essential step to making a legit bagel that they don't do! Bagels have been one of my favorite foods since I was a little kid. I'm just trying to watch my calories nowadays, so I don't eat them all the time. When I do eat them I have expectations for how a bagel should taste and I unfortunately must say I was very disappointed in the bagels here. (It was my first time coming here to try the bagels). First of all, let me preface this by saying I do love a good bagel with cream cheese and especially a bagel with cream cheese, capers, onions, lox (aka smoked salmon) etc. However, often I'll just opt to eat a bagel like an apple - just whole, uncut and biting into it like one would do a bread roll. By eating a bagel purely that way I have a good palate for how bagels should taste both in flavor and texture. The bagels here are not made the traditional way and instead they are baked like a bread roll and they are NOT boiled the essential way a bagel needs to be to create the signature chewy texture and glossy crust. However I could have maybe let that slide since I was hungry and that would have been fine since a soft fluffy center can makeup for the outside being subpar (the outside is soft with a weird doughy mushy coating - clearly skipping the essential boiling step), HOWEVER what I couldn't get past was the ucky flavor. The dough was just so sweet! I got a sourdough bagel and it didn't even taste remotely like sourdough because it was so sickening sweet. I also got a plain bagel (thinking maybe I accidentally got a 'sugar bagel' instead of sourdough) and that plain bagel, if you can believe it, was even sweeter! After a few bites just threw these bagels away in the trash since they weren't worth the calories and I literally googled the next closest bagel store (across the street a block!) and drove there because I had already decided I would be eating bagels today - just not these subpar bagels. If I wasn't a nice person, I would give this bagel restaurant a 1 star and never return!!! However, the employees were really nice and I feel bad giving a 1 star reviews when there is good service and nice people who are the owners/workers (I reserve giving my 1 star reviews for when the entire experience is horrific), so I'm going to give 3 stars but it's 3 stars for the nice people running the store and ZERO stars for the taste of the bagels! Maybe instead buy a pastry here? Their dough is so sweet it's probably the same dough for the pastries?! However, I for sure won't return! read more

stopped by to try this new bagel spot! I loved the classic 5th ave - lox, cream cheese, capers on a sesame bagel is the best combo! they have a ton of different bagel flavors and sweet and savory combos. we also got a vietnamese coffee and iced chai which were pretty good! the salt bagel was *very* salty just a warning but i would still be back to try other bagel combos. more of a grab and go place, there's a few tables inside and out. read more

Bagel quality is excellent, pretty tasty. I started picking on it while driving and next thing you know it , I was munching half already without the cream cheese spread Don't want prepackaged store bagels, too much weird stuff added in it. I bought 4 they gave me a free , I was there 45 min before closing . Got their pan chocolat , not bad. I always get mine at the Farmers market and at the pastry Bakery at Korean market area. Now I know where to get good bagels. . read more

This place is a hidden gem! Absolutely delicious bagels, a variety of different cream cheeses, bagels, and drinks.

We will definitely be back again! read more

The spinach parmesan and jalapeño cheese bagels were very chewy and dense . There were hardly any pieces of jalapeños or spinach to be seen, but there was a slight green tint to the spinach parmesan bagels (spinach "juice"). It costs approximately $2.25 for each "specialty" bagel, which is comparably a good price for freshly made bagels. They're not the best bagels but also not a lot of options in the South Bay so good enough. Plus, you will be supporting a small family owned business and they seem like a nice family. read more

I'm very picky about bagels -- if I have to rip the bread out of my mouth, it's a no for me. This one was exactly how a bagel should be: crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, with a clean crunch in every bite. The homemade cream cheese sealed it -- you can tell it's fresh by the hand-cut chives and bold, real flavor. An excellent bagel all around. read more

The good: They had containers of different flavor cream cheeses you could buy and take home. They had a wide variety of sweet bagel options like cinnamon sugar and blueberry. We got the raspberry danish and blueberry danish. The shop had inside and outside seating. They had breakfast bagel options as well as muffins. The bad: They microwaved rather than toasted our danish so it wasn't flaky. It was soggy but still tasted good. I was hoping they sold some donuts too but there were none. The interesting: They played Vietnamese music. read more

THE absolute BEST everything bagels in the South Bay- Fight me. I drive 20 minutes out of my way to get this bagel. Perfect texture and covered with a amazing amount of crunchy crust of everything topping. All the other bagels in the South Bay are so sad in comparison to this one. read more

The team is wonderful here and the bagels are fresh. Amazing options for bagels, cream cheese, sandwiches, coffee, and smoothies! Next time will be trying the viet coffee and some of the other sandwiches for breakfast/lunch. Not only is the food amazing due to their taste, quality, and options, but the team and service is impeccable. Truly great ambiance and becoming a new favorite local bagel/coffee shop. Ordered: egg, bacon, cheddar with jalepeno cream cheese on an everything bagel read more

I was in the area and was craving a lox bagel. I came across this bagelry and decided to try it! I grabbed a lox bagel on a poppy seed bagel. It came with a pickle spear! The bagels were a little over toasted but as a whole the bagel was pretty solid! The price point is around $13 for the bagel which isn't high. They have lots of bagel options some sweet some savory and some plain. I would've liked to order a sourdough bagel but they were out of those and a couple other options around the time we arrived. I tried the Thai tea and my boyfriend got the Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese coffee was strong as you'd expect it to be! The drinks were large and have lots of ice. They offer bagel spreads of different flavors to buy separately and fresh squeezed orange juice. They have a couple small tables inside that seat up to two and also another two tables out front. The man, who's maybe the owner, was very kind and the food came out pretty quickly I don't think we waited more than 5 minutes. Solid spot! Overall Rating: 3.8 read more

There's a lack of good bagel shops in the south bay! We have donut shops everywhere but their single flavor bagel often prewrapped with cream cheese ain't gonna cut it. Good bagels, good sandwiches, good coffee and other drinks. It's not your fancy courage bagel/fancy California bagel, but it's also not priced like that. Great place to start your morning. read more

I am so happy I didn't miss out on this breakfast shop! We just wanted something quick and easy for breakfast/brunch. Since it was already noon and there was a line, others had the same idea. The shop is small, but efficient. Nothing fancy, but it doesn't need it. The food and drinks speak for themselves. The wait wasn't long to order or get our food. I had the New York omelette on a jalapeno bagel with a medium mocha hot coffee. OMG. Bagel was perfect, omelette was hot and the coffee the right amount of sweetness. I ate the whole thing without pause. Hubby had a jalapeno bagel with cream cheese. He was pleasantly surprised to find it quartered which made eating it less messy and enjoyable. He also had the Vietnamese coffee (hot). He said it was good, not burned or bitter and strong enough. (High praise from him.) The variety of bagels surprised me. I wish we lived closer. We would definitely be stopping by for fresh bagels a couple times a week. read more

Hidden gem located in Torrance! It's a small place with a few tables inside and one outside. Not super fancy, but has quality food. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. I was impressed by the bagels! It was soft but crispy. They hard a large variety of bagel types and smears. Husband and I tried the 5th ave bagel (lox bagel). It's open faced with tomatoes, onions, dill and a pickle on the side. We also had the bagel, egg, cheese and sausage sandwich. Their pizza bagel had cheese and pepperoni on top. Service was so great. The owner was so kind and patient with me while I was picking items. She would give me updates on my order and the food came out really quick. I would come back for quality bagels in the South Bay. The prices are reasonable for the cost. It's not Courage Bagels, but it's so not that expensive either. I would recommend to try this place! read more

5th Ave Bagelry is still in their soft opening phase and perfect for a quick bagel meal or even a pick me up drink! Lots of space for parking. There are about 4-6 tables both inside and outside. The cashier was super nice and made sure me and my girlfriend were taken care of! She says that everything is baked fresh and even the drinks are made with little to no powders. The blueberry bagel was really great with the Cream cheese adding a nice touch of sweetness! The Denver Omelette + sesame seed bagel was beyond amazing but could use a little bit more salt for my liking! Vietnamese coffee was sweet and strong while the Thai Tea is your traditional smooth and sweet Thai Tea you could ask for! I definitely recommend stopping by and celebrating their soft opening! read more
