-5 stars for great service -5 stars for cleanliness and niceness inside -5 stars for menu variety -5 stars for bagel variety -4 stars for ease of finding free, available street parking -5 stars for sandwich taste -2 stars for bagel taste (because I'm a bagel purest and strongly believe it's not a proper bagel if it's not boiled first then baked. These bagels are just baked bread in the shape of a bagel but lack the chew & shiny outside from being boiled that makes a bagel a bagel) -1 star for value My lox sandwich was delicious though! Just not the bagel. And it was waaay overpriced! The sandwich you can pay $9 for half (open faced and they just keep the other half but they "can sell it to you if you ask" um no that's weird!) or $16.50 for both halves (basically what you'd normally get) which is crazy expensive like the bagel sandwich you get on vacation at a 5 star hotel where you have zero options - Not in downtown LA! -4 stars for sandwich taste (loved everything except the bagel and except the bad value) It was delicious though with the drizzle of oil, lemon pepper and the smoked salmon was fresh and the cream cheese was fluffy and they were generous with the capers Hence my 4 star review. I won't return but if you don't mind bagels that aren't real bagels and you don't care about the price then I do recommend it here

Bagel Sandwich - Egg & Cheese
Roel C.

Pretty solid Bagel spot. Ordered Egg & Cheese on poppy seed & Pizza Bagel with veggie spread. Pizza bagel and lovely charred cheese edges but was not a fan of Veggie Cream Cheese. It only had massive amounts of sun-dried tomatoes. I would call it a sun dried tomato spread and not Veggie cream cheese. I scraped it off. Bagel had a great chew but then soft on inside. Street parking is available able, few outdoor tables were available and credit cards accepted. Staff was extremely nice great vibe inside. Check them out!

This is a family owned Bagel shop. Established back in 1953. We had a pot luck yesterday at one of my friend's house and we all needed to bring something. I volunteered to bring 2 dozen bagels for everyone. This shop is a very unique, special place. Very near and dear to my heart. When I used to work on Beverly blvd, we used to get different types of bagels for our coworkers. We have never had a problem with the taste, texture, quality and service. The shop is not too big and they have nowhere to sit. Basically is grab and go type of a place. I got a good mixture of bagels and everything tasted very fresh & delicious!! 10/10. Prices are very reasonable for the size of the bagels. They have super friendly staff and even if the line gets a little long, they clear that line fast and quick. They have all types of cream cheese, sandwiches, hot and cold beverages from water, to OJ, to coffee, tea, latte and a whole lot more. If you haven't already tried this place, do yourselves a favor and go there. You will not be disappointed!! 100% guaranteed. Street parking only and gender neutral restroom. Place is very clean and the rest, I am leaving it up to your own discretion. Go, get your bagel fix ASAP!! Most of us LOVE bagels, this place truly delivers in every way. Thank you staff, management for your loyalty, dedication, for over the decades. Last, but not least thank you for this ICONIC, Brooklyn Bagel Bakery. I think this place used to be called Bagel Factory back in the days..If I am not mistaken. It's been a while... Nostalgia. BIG time...

Got 12 bagels from too good app

What a bargain I got 30 dollars worth of bagels for 3.99 . I used the too good to go app. They have everything in the bag when I arrived

The bacon, egg, avocado, & cheese sandwich with garlic cream cheese on the cheese/onion is the most incredible bagel I've had between both coasts! I've heard from native New Yorkers that they approve of Brooklyn Bagel and I had to follow the suggestion. Their classic tomato open-face is also super refreshing. I like their wide selection of bagels to choose from. We came at a good time and got straight to the cashier, but a line formed quickly behind us. Our 1.5 bagel order came out within a decent amount of time for my hunger to build up but it was worth it for the warm bagel sandwich. The iced vanilla latte is very decent and priced well. Unfortunately, they only have very limited outdoor seating. It would be great to have a little more seats because I needed to stand outside the store and eat my bagel immediately because they're so good when it's hot.

Brooklyn bagels was great. I had the egg bagel and my partner had an everything bagel. We really enjoyed the bagels. We went late in the day so the options were limited but the full menu is solid. The staff were helpful and happy to answer questions. The vibes give off what a bagel shop should be like. The parking isn't easy but isn't impossible either. I will be back!

Everything Bagel with Lox Cream Cheese
Austin B.

tl;dr one of LA's longest tenured bagel specialists, this Westlake bakery is firmly average at a relatively reasonable price Brooklyn Bagel Bakery is only of the oldest bageleries in Los Angeles, originally founded in 1953. This makes it over half a century older than the LA's trendiest bagel specialists. But Brooklyn has been a player in the LA wholesale game for decades, supplying some of LA's most reputable cafes (including Langer's just a few blocks away). So it's no wonder that the brand's direct-to-consumer brick-and-mortar shop off Beverly is routinely ranked among the city's premier bagel destinations. Outside, a few benches sit beneath the sprawling awnings and the vertical, royal-blue bagel sign. The contemporary rap shaking the walls is a sharp contrast to the retro decor. The whitewashed walls are adorned with old-school photographs of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the original red, white, and blue menu board from 1978. Filamented bulbs cast a warm glow around the stainless steel and worn-wood trim. Even deep into the morning, the ovens churn out steaming hot bagels. With just a narrow standing-only bar counter, most customers opt for takeout. My partner and I visited late on a weekend morning, and we faced a short wait after placing our order. The bagels were bready like grocery store varieties, and the dough leaned toward soft pretzel. The main advantage of Brooklyn was the unique bagel varieties. Our favorite was the Pizza Bagel (decked with baked mozzarella and Italian spices); it was just a dollop of marinara away from being a serviceable pizza alternative. Otherwise, the Everything and Egg Poppy Bagels were average, and the Cranberry Apple Bagel was subtly fruity at best. Meanwhile, the cream cheese was light and whipped. The lox variety was slightly gritty owing to the thinly sliced, well-proportioned lox mised in, while the Nutella-infused spread was overpoweringly sweet and chocolatey. Our bill worked out to $15 total across 4 bagels and 2 small spreads. The service seemed efficient but was mostly transactional. Prices felt reasonable (loose bagels hovered around the $2 range), even if nothing stood out inherently as premium. Brooklyn Bagel Bakery may not be worth a dedicated visit out of your way, but it can accommodate an adequate bagel if you're already in the neighborhood.

Delicious! The perfect place to stop before our long drive back from LA. Great customer service and yummy bagels and orange juice.

Sesame bagel with baby greens, egg, bacon (well done) and cream cheese!!!

Shout out to Layonel, Marian, Ken, Xion & the rest of the team for always serving up the most impeccable breakfast sandwiches in Los Angeles !!! There's always attentive, organized and the cleanliness from the restaurant to the way they operate is the reason why I keep coming back despite the old bakery's closure.

I bought 2 dozen bagels here this morning for an office baby shower. Workers were cool. I was so excited to eat it since I waited an extra 6 mins to get fresh sesame and plain from the oven. The bags were still warm when I dropped it off in the conference room to set up. But what happened was embarrassing: some bagels were good and some tasted stale. My everything bagel was dry and I was horrified to think the rest would be like that. While we were cleaning up I started to ask the committee folks if they ate a bagel. I found out the everything bagel and another type were definitely the wierd ones. Ugh!

Smoked whitefish

2nd time and no one talks about the smoked whitefish bagel sandwich. Underrated and a must try!

The original menu board from 1978.

Stumbled upon this place by happenstance and boy am I glad I did! I got a vanilla latte, a chocolate chip bagel, and a bacon, egg & cheese. Latte was good, the chocolate chip bagel was great, but the sandwich... DAMN was it amazing! I can't stop thinking about it. The size was even too big for me to finish, and I like to eat! But mama didn't raise no quitter, so after a few minutes I took the last few bites and put it to bed. The gal at the counter was super sweet and helped with this first time customer by giving me a few suggestions of what to try. A appreciated her patience and eagerness to help me out. Walking into this place felt like taking a step back in history, felt like an old time corner bakery, there were half a dozen folks running about working, made some friends in line, and the wait was practically none. The whole place had a familiar and welcoming vibe to it. My new go to place whenever I make a trip down to Silverlake. Highly recommend to everyone. Sorry, no pic of my food, I was so hungry I forgot to take one!

This bagel shop offers a variety of bagel flavors. I ordered one my favorites, the cheese and jalapeño bagel with an iced coffee. The bagels are always so fresh and the staff are always friendly. What makes this place truly special, though, is the nostalgia that it brings. Revisiting after many decades felt like stepping back in time. When I was younger my grandma and I would walk here to pick up bagels, back when it was where the gym is now. Truly a special place with amazing bagels and friendly staff.

I usually get their Iced Butterscotch Cream Latte with oat milk. I love that they don't due an upcharge for alt milks. For the dairy-cautious folks out there, this drink is not dairy-free even with alt milk because of the butterscotch cream. I usually go with oat milk because I don't like my drink overly creamy so the cream top plus oat milk is a good balance for me personally. Since I came here with my friends recently, I also tried the Yuzu Sparkling Matcha. To my surprise, you really get that authentic yuzu flavor, not artificial whatsoever. The drinks here are also not too sweet, just the right balance you want, but the flavors make you feel like you're having a little dessert in a cup. The shop itself is very cozy and comfortable. Especially on a hot LA day, it's so nice to be in a cool space sipping on iced drinks. The are a good amount of seats but it does get busy at certain times of day.

I will say it is quite sweet, even at less sweet, and I would stick to the double matcha since I found the regular iced matcha latte (less sweet) to be a little disappointing. The workers are sweet and helpful - the first time I visited, I came just a few minutes before closing, but the worker took her time to explain things to me rather than rushing me. That has left a lasting positive impression on me. The interior is cozy and oftentimes there are people working inside, but I haven't given it a try myself. I can say that it's a nice place to hang around as you're finishing your drink. If you're thinking about giving Dumbstruck a try, I highly recommend it!

There is outdoor seating and a couple tables indoors too. The storefront itself is pretty small though. I ordered the Yuzu Matcha tonic with less sweetness and it was really good! It's a super refreshing drink, with the green tea and citrus elements coming out on top of the sparkling sweetness. Honestly, one of the best matcha drinks I've had overall! The yuzu bits are incorporated in the drink, adding a light sweet and bitter taste. Service was super friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices and this café stands out because of its free parking for sure. There are lots of cute shops lining the street that Picnic Coffee is located on, so check those out too!

It's the perfect little neighborhood stop for anyone who appreciates beautiful branding, unique flavors, and well-crafted coffee drinks. Quick service for complex drinks!

One cashier was getting those items and the cook asked if I wanted "food" or just sweets. When I said just the sweets he said I had to wait. I don't see why he couldn't have just grabbed my items? It was about a 10-15 minute wait with all that going on. Then I asked for a cafe Cubano and sorry but I had no clue what the cashier said and only understood "cortadito" so that's what I was given. When she asked if I wanted for here or to go, I asked for here and she packed my items to go. I'm not sure if it's a language barrier or listening issue so I'm glad it was a major thing to inconvenience my experience
