This venue is located in a mini mall. There is a good amount of free parking. The venue itself is small, no tables for dining, only order out. It resembles a "mom & pop". For such a small space, they used it wisely. Hot tea selections and condiments were placed around the perimeter giving it a slight cafe look. The people inside were inviting. They know their regulars by name. These few things increased my opinion to 4 stars. Now for the food. I ordered a 12 oz fresh squeezed OJ and a egg, American cheese (they have a selection of cheeses) on a toasted Everything Bagel. The OJ was not bad. It was a little tart. I was hoping for sweeter (like I was biting into an orange) but was still fine. The egg tasted a little weird (maybe premixed eggs) not sure how the egg was made. Mehh, like I said, it wasn't too bad. The cheese wasn't melted. The bagel was good, a little over toased and not "meaty & thick" like my NYC bagels (just sayin', LOL). It had the Everything bagel taste. Overall, it was decent. The sandwich was tasty but not close your eyes and say yummy. As customary I ask myself, "Would I return?" Yes, I'd be willing to give it the bagel and cream cheese taste test! read more

Great service! I love their self serve coffee station. Their lox is delicious too(although a little pricey). They do not accept cash so just a heads up. Overall I absolutely loved their bagels and they do have a small outdoor seating area as well. Consider me a new regular! read more

I've had a great experience here. I work just down the street, so the convenience is a big plus. I always get the same bagel--the bialy bagel. It's not your typical thick bagel like you'd find at other places; it's flatter and has a great texture. I usually come in early, before 8:00 a.m., and unfortunately, parking can get a bit chaotic any time after that. My bagel is always fresh and just $2.75 in cash. I don't think it has preservatives, so it probably won't hold up well if you wait until the next day to eat it--best enjoyed fresh! I've also tried their coffee, which is nice and hot. They offer a variety of creamers at no extra charge, including oat milk, which is a nice touch. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. It's a small, strictly takeout spot, no seating, but perfect for grabbing a quick breakfast. And if you bring a bagel back to your coworkers, they'll definitely appreciate it! read more

This is a hidden gem the bagels really delicious. They have a lot of different cream cheese flavors, soft and crunchy homemade cream cheese. My favorite one was a jalapeño cream cheese, they have been in business for 35 years. Very nice service with a smile family owned. Mom and Pop can't go wrong with that. outdoor sitting area really quiet lots of parking. read more

Excellent bialy, be sure to bring cash, smaller bills. No credit cards accepted, but really good bialy.

This is definitely NOT closed. Great place and wonderful staff. Excellent Bialys and bagels.

Staff was very friendly but bagels were highly disappointing. Tiny and thin. Their lox spread was so over-mixed you couldn't tell there was lox in it. For $6 I felt ripped off by size and quality. read more

This place is a total scam. They charge you a much higher price than what's on the menu hoping you won't notice or complain. The bagel was good but not worth getting robbed. Everyone working there should be fired or the place should be shut down by the city read more

Abraham Bagel has some of the fluffiest bagels I've ever had! Each bite is light yet satisfying, with the perfect texture. Their whipped cream cheese is the best--smooth, airy, and packed with flavor, making it the ideal complement to their delicious bagels. It's my go-to spot when I'm craving a truly standout bagel experience. Highly recommend giving them a try--you won't be disappointed! read more

Since I was 4 years old in 1980, I have always believed Western Bagel to be the best bagel in the Los Angeles area (and possibly the world). But random happenstance had me doing business on this particular block of Ventura Blvd and craving a bagel at the same time. I went into Abraham bagel and ordered my favorite, the onion bagel. It is difficult to explain the experience; bagels are 80% texture. And Abraham Bagel wasn't just better than Western Bagel. It was a unique, interesting texture that I'd never experienced in a bagel before. A little bit harder than the Western, but also in this zone of perfection. This bagel that I ate forced me to re-evaluate my bagel scale. I am in awe. read more

The best! Onion bialys a favorite! Kind, efficient, hard working! Have been going here for years! read more

Bless this place for being open from 7am to 12pm on Christmas Day! Oodles of bagel types to choose from, including everything, egg, onion, sesame, poppy, and pumpernickel. They also offer a variety of schmear like chives, regular, lox and berry. The bagels are toasted to perfection - no need to ask for a double toast like elsewhere. Good prices. Bagels are cut in half by default. I'm not too sure about their drinks, but they do sell coffee and tea. They have a bunch of syrup and add-one available for grabs, too. They sell stuff in bulk for catering and takeout orders. I must try the Bialy bagel sometime - and I recently discovered there's a pancake version of it! I'm told it's best with cream cheese in the middle. Abraham shares a lot with a COVID testing place, a threading place, a pizza shop and a convenience store. Ample parking, but spacing can be kind of tight during peak times. CPK and CVS are across the street. read more

For those who grew up on the Westside and Valley in the 70s and 80s and remember I&Joy Bagels , well I have a surprise. The lady who owns worked at I&Joy and then opened this after I&Joy sold to Manhattan Bagels. These bagels especially the Bialy are crisp and chewy like a bagel should be. I make the haul from the South Bay to Sherman Oaks to enjoy them. read more

The bagels have gotten very thin in the last few years. The first time I saw them look like that I thought they made a mistake with the dough, but they have stayed looking like that for a few years now. The prices are too much for the quality too. They want $18 for a bagel with lox, no one charges that much except for one place I know that makes their own lox and has way better bagels. It's just sad. And there's one guy who works there who's really cocky and has an attitude. They should try to do better, but there are no other bagel places in the neighborhood so I guess they don't have to. I'm definitely not going here anymore. read more

Abraham Bagel Cafe - Super thin egg bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encino, California

My favorite local shop! The owners are just sweet as can be and the bagels are delish. It has that east coast kind of feel, which makes me feel right at home. The garlic cream cheese will knock your socks clean off, but make sure you aren't planning on kissing anyone in the next week or so because it is *potent*. 11/10, definitely check them out! read more

The bagels are amazing, but bialys are one of my favorite baked treats, and Abraham Bagel Cafe sure makes a great bialy too! The fast and friendly service makes you feel like you are going to an old friend's house for a yummy meal. You know that friend that always hooks it up :) If you can eat there the tables and chairs outside make for a lovely date! I will be back! read more

Have been eating their bagels for close to 4 decades. Great bagels and bagel sandwiches. Add a great cup of coffee and nice servers make this place a total keeper. read more

No frills place but the bagels are solid for a good price! Coffee wasn't that great but it's also pretty cheap. We would grab bagels then go eat at the libbit dog park with our lab. read more

I take my bagels seriously and unfortunately I did not have a great experience at Abraham Bagel. While the customer service was nice, our food was not good. I ordered turkey bacon, avocado, and lite cream cheese on my bagel. My bf ordered Jalapeño cream cheese. We repeated the order back a few times and I double checked the cream cheese. My bagel was not toasted properly, turkey bacon was cold and soggy, and we both had regular cream cheese despite being charged extra. Very nice people who helped us but subpar bagel :( read more

Only real bialy in Los Angeles. However, they are a bit undercooked. So, I just toast them more at home before I eat them. Their price for bialys is high. But, so is everthing these days. read more

I'm so happy this place survived the last two years! They really have the best bagels! My Dr is down the street so I only get to pop in and grab their bagel goodness once a year. The owners are lovely. Their garlic cream cheese will blow your mind. And the bagels have a nice crust with a tender inside. read more

The bagels are fresh, lovely staff. My favorites are the garlic, everything, onion, and plain. They may not look Instagram fancy but tastes better than others in the area. read more

Pretty lousy bagels. They tasted like grocery store bagels. I was really disappointed. read more

The bagels here were very underwhelming and disappointing. I had the bagel sandwich and the bagel was very dry and thin. Just tasted stale. The bagels they sell in bulk at the supermarket taste better. Also, the store owners were not very friendly. Will not be back read more

Scott W. took the words out of my mouth. Great I&Joy style bialys, and the owner was great (and she has an old picture when she worked at I&Joy, T-Shirt and all). I was in LA for only a day, didn't want to drive to Fairfax or Pico, but was disappointed in Valley choices Western Bagel and Einstein's (which they say used to be a Manhattan Bagel). In fairness, Western is a quality bagel place but the "bialy" was no different from an onion bagel. Anyway my scope is narrow, bialy only, and Abraham does a great job. Be careful where you park your car; I made the bad choice of parking in a corner spot only to be blocked by a long pickup for 20 minutes when I was running late. read more

Nice staff, ok flavor but the bagels were smallish and flatter than they should (overproofed dough I presume). For an AM pickup the variety was really lacking also which was surprising, looked more like an end of day window of leftovers than first two hours of opening. Doesn't satisfy the desire for a good, east coast style bagel here in town unfortunately. read more

I'm from outside New York City, though I moved out here in 1980 but....once a New Yorker always a New Yorker. So I've been searching for a great New York bagel. I finally found it. It's this place, Abraham Bagel Cafe. The owner boils, then bakes the bagels. That's the right way. They're crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Just like New York. WOW!!! I've been seeing ads for New York bagels made in New York City and finally decided to try them....UGH!!! They're not crispy on the outside and they're way too thick and sweet. NOT GOOD. This morning I went back to Abraham Bagel to get a dozen. Unfortunately for me, they had sold out, but I'll be back tomorrow for real New York bagels. I've heard California kids think bagels should be just baked. WRONG! I you want a real New York bagel go to Abraham. read more

We're from New York. And we miss our Bialys! Can't even find great ones IN New York any more. And then we discover Abraham! The people are as delicious as the food. At holidays they celebrate internationally, every culture is honored with joy and warmth and hugs. They know your favorites, they know your kids and grandkids. The place is full of love. And the food is perfect, including if you're vegetarian or vegan. What a place. it's home! To all. read more

I just got home after stopping at your shop and I have never been more disappointed in a bagel shop. I decided to give your shop a try because I read good reviews on Yelp but my opinion is that you get 1-star. I bought a poppy seed and a sesame seed and when I got home, all the seeds had fallen off and the bagels were hard as a rock at 11 AM. Are you kidding me? This is what you serve? I suppose I'll have to start looking for a new bagel shop. read more

First time here..... delicious toasty bagels.....and variety of creamers. I give them a 10! Will be coming in everyday. Definitely, gonna try all their creations of bagels. read more

Small storefront in a strip mall. Best bagels in the valley. Pleasant owner. Go early if you want biali's.

They make the BEST BIALY. Great service, best bagels. I go early for the hot bialys and sandwiches.

Great service, amazing bagels, fair pricing. Family owned and freshly made daily. Great selection of flavored CCs, bagels and sandwiches

Not a good selection nor a friendly reception. Felt like they were doing me a favor selling me a bagel. Western Bagel and Bea's are much better. read more
