This isn't a restaurant more so a bagel stand. Outdoor seating only. Ambiance is - take your food and sit outside. Which is fine. It's California so plenty of bagels OPTIONS, which is good for the consumer, not so sure if it is for the business model but that's not for me to decide. What makes this a 3 star review is the cream cheese option, or the shmear. $2 for shmear is outrageous. The app doesn't give you the option to have it on the side - I don't know how clean your knife is. If you're going to charge me $2, at least give me the option to have it on the side. I'd much prefer that option than the OPTION of 34 different types of bagels that probably are thrown out at the end of the night. Then when you want cream cheese on the side - there isn't a small packet offered for a nominal fee, but rather a minuscule $2 option or a $5 tub of cream cheese. No thanks. Silly. I'll just go to Trader Joe's and stock up on whipped cream cheese for $2.99 Bagel is good! Love the plain, everything, and cinnamon raisin!

Can't wait to try more bagels here soon :P

They serve bagels with a focus on the trade exchange. The TV screens and decors are related to that of trading, stocks, and news about the market. The service is great! They were quick and knew how to explain the bagel recommendations well. I got the colorful bagel with smoke salmon + cream cheese (the lox style) and it was delicious! Totally worth the cost because it came with a lot of smoked salmon. I'd love to come back here again in the future!

1. Another perfect Los Angeles day. Woke up and the weather outside was yanking me out of bed…read more Before I could even put my clothes on, I could feel Jess & Kora on the other side. Waiting for me. Waiting for us to get lunch at Belle's. Life was good. But what's even better than good? Great. Life was about to be great. 2. On the way in I saw a strange man outside wearing sunglasses. He looked at me. Friend or foe? I ran through a list of my options. Run. Stand my ground. Kiss. But then I realized I recognized him. This wasn't a stranger. This was a friend. 3. "Hey," I said. "Hey," he said back at me. Casey. We knew each other. I mentioned I was about to dine at Belle's and he immediately complimented the establishment. "Do you know who Harry Mack is?" I told him I didn't. "He's a freestyle rapper on tiktok. I saw him eating here once. I told him I like his videos when we were both in the bathroom." In the bathroom? Or in the line for the bathroom? I didn't follow up with any questions and left the conversation bewildered. 4. I sat down inside, waiting for Jess & Kora. We had eaten here together many times and this excited me. Nothing quite like eating lunch with your friends. The only thing better would be if you were getting massages from beautiful men and women. The thought brought a smile to my face. The kind of smile that hurts your cheeks so much that you wish pain was only temporary. 5. Jess showed up. Shortly after Kora did as well. The boys were back at it again. I looked around. I could tell everybody was aware of who we were and what we were doing. I even caught a stray look from a table of three men that was tinged with a tear. Jealous of the friendship we so effortlessly commanded. It was as if we were massaging each other's minds with our words. This is the kind of experience one can expect while in the presence of Zed C. from Yelp. The kind of experience you read online and think is fake but is actually realer than reality. The kind of experience that can only be contained with two slices of bagel. 6. From the jump, we were talking Area 51. The laughs were as plentiful as the refills on our cups of coffee (frequent!) But the happiness could only take us so far. It was only a matter of time until we began looking at the walls and the photos that covered them. Photos of people, of bagels, of everything that wasn't... us. There wasn't a photo on the wall of us. Zed C. from Yelp and Jess & Kora. I don't believe in divine justice, but we do what we can to form some level of fairness in a galaxy bent on chaos. Entropy consumes us all but... if Belle's could put a photograph of the three of us on their wall... maybe hope isn't just a false promise of what's to come. Maybe life could exceed great and become... excellent. The same tear I saw in the stranger's eye populated Jess' eye. Kora's eye. & mine as well. We shut our eyes and pretended that this moment never happened. The boys were back at it once again! 7. Our food arrived. I had ordered the ECA, the egg, cheese and avocado mash bagel. Everything. At home I only get plain because the seeds go everywhere making my kitchen into a literal hellscape. Here at Belle's? I indulge myself. So what if a seed doesn't land on the plate. They'll clean it up. They always do. It's why we keep coming back. That and the quality of the food. The ECA is encased in a god-tier bagel with the type of eggs that are so fluffy you could've sworn you bit into a cloud. Every bite is a reminder of the strength of modern civilization and the many sacrifices we make to be a part of something bigger (and tastier) than our own selves. 8. Eventually the conversation spilled over the edge and one of us waved a server down. One that we were friendly with. "How can we get our photo on the wall?" She wasn't receptive. But she offered a possibility... "We could put a mirror on the wall and you'd see yourself on the wall." Jess laughed loudly and as she left he told us, "She thinks we're stupid." & you know what? If she did we'd be okay with it. Because that's the type of guys we are. We roll with the punches and get down with the lunches. 9. I'd like to quickly respond to the review written by "S A." in which they said "This place is NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY" because they were forced to wait in line like everybody else. Because of their "hungry kids" they wanted everybody else to get behind them. Sounds like your "family" isn't RESTAURANT FRIENDLY. Maybe it's about time you got in line and learned to respect the rules of the culinary tradition known as "waiting until it's your turn". 10. I left Belle's feeling better than I did when I walked in. I was refreshed, I was quenched. I patted my belly and let out a sigh. Life was great. It was all downhill from here. Then I turned around and looked at Belle's. A reminder of what was to come. The boys would be back at it once again. I smiled a final time. This time it was permanent. I've never stopped smiling since.

They load the bagel up with all of the fixings, particularly cream cheese! The bagel is quite chewy and has a dense crumb more like a classic NY bagel. I wish the bagel was a little more heated because the cheese on the cacio e pepe didn't really come through as well and parts of it were a little tough. It also took a little while to get my bagel and for some reason they weren't doing online orders? But the people working there were very friendly and helpful! The interior is gorgeous and has a retro vibe to it that could honestly double as a movie set.

Love that they make their syrups in-house and they offer sugar and ice adjustments free of charge. There are milk substitutions for +$1! Got the Vanilla Latte with Easy Ice & Single Shot of Espresso ($7.50). The vanilla syrup was just the right amount of sweetness and tasted so good! The coffee was not too strong and it wasn't bitter so it was really enjoyable! I could definitely tell by the taste that they use high quality coffee beans so this is definitely a must! The Blue Jasmine Matcha Latte ($7.50) was so amazing! It's made with almond milk with butterfly pea flowers, jasmine tea, and in-house jasmine syrup. The matcha tasted very good quality and most likely handwhisked. The jasmine was so refreshing and fragrant. I really enjoyed the bits of butterfly pea flowers and the floral taste it added to the drink. Overall, I really enjoyed both my drinks and would definitely return and recommend!

I also got the Calic Experience Box with 2 Signature, 2 Habanero, 1 Pepperoni Pizza, and 1 Bacon Scallion. I tried the Signature and Habanero first, and I really liked the kick from the Habanero. The Signature was also really good and honestly a must-try for first timers and you can't really go wrong with it. The Bacon Scallion was super flavorful too. Everything was really good, but definitely on the heavier side. I'd still come back for sure. They validate parking in the lot, and there's plenty of seating inside even on a weekend, which was nice.

Its a pretty casual spot where you order at a counter or kiosk and then pick up your food when its ready. As I no longer live in LA, I, of course, had to order like 4 bagels to try. We got the signature calic, elote calic, potato bacon calic, and the bacon scallion. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach and ultimately, I just wanted a taste of them all. Sadly, I found the bagels to be a bit lackluster for the price. The garlic flavor is prominent but, as with a lot of Korean foods, there was just too much sweet for my personal tastes. I should also just recognize that bagels aren't really my thing and despite it being appealing to look at, they didn't really hit home for me. They're quite pricey at close to $10 a bagel and while filling, don't seem to have much substance (its essentially a bagel and flavored cream cheese). Am I glad I came, sure, I got to try something new and didn't have to wait in ridiculously long lines but would I return? Unlikely but again, if you're into this kind of thing, its good.

It's so cute inside and you can just smell the bagels. Clean and subtle! Service: Very welcoming. Employees have great attitude. They were not in a rush and gave a warm feeling. Food: We got Triple Pickle with Lox! There was a good amount of lox, cream cheese, cucumber and pickles! The variety in bagels is great plus the freshness!

No greeting, no smile--just eye rolls and short, dismissive responses. When I asked a simple question about the menu, the person behind the counter sighed loudly and responded with obvious irritation. It felt hostile and unwelcoming. Staff was too busy talking to each other in separate conversations. I understand mornings can be busy, but that's no excuse for treating paying customers with disrespect. To make matters worse, my order was wrong, and when I politely pointed it out, I was met with attitude instead of an apology. The staff member barely acknowledged the mistake and acted like fixing it was a huge burden. The CASHIER took the bagel out in her bare hand to show me it was in the bag. Talk about unsanitary! The bagel itself was average at best--definitely not worth dealing with such unpleasant service. There are plenty of places that serve good food and treat customers with basic courtesy. This was my first experience at this chain and I won't be coming back.

So, I drove all the way out to HP to pick up my bag. Let me just say that the trip here was worth the traffic and parking issues I ran into at 8:50pm at night. The box they gave me was filled with a variety of pizza and bagels. For an early 5am breakfast, I had a bagel w/ cream cheese and thought it was delicious! For 2nd breakfast, I had a half a slice of margarita pizza and half a slice of pepperoni and those were also delicious. The pizzas are on the thin side...so, I don't feel too, too guilty lol Anyways, the service was quick. The shop is cute. There's some outdoor seating. I'd come back with friends and our dogs one day!
