Once you walk in you can instantly smell the goodness of the bagels. There's very limited seating outside, and I mean limited. I have always driven by this place for so long now and have always wanted to try it out. Glad I did. I got the sesame seed bagel, with their perfectly cooked bacon, sprouts, cucumber, dill and their veggie spread. It was loaded and delicious. The one and only 'bad' thing I have to say is that the bagel was chewy, which was weird because we asked for it to be toasted. So I wasn't expecting the chewy-ness to come from a toasted bagel. Overall, would come back and totally recommend. read more

Tucked away in a quiet corner, this unassuming gem serves up some of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had. The star of the show is undoubtedly the lox and tuna. The lox is smoked to perfection, with just the right amount of saltiness and a velvety texture. The tuna bagel sandwich is made with fresh tuna and mixed with just the right amount of mayo and seasoning. But what really sets this shop apart is the quality of the bagels themselves. Chewy, dense, and with just the right amount of crunch, they're the perfect vessel for the delicious fillings. I've tried several different sandwiches here, but my go-to is the Classic Lox: sliced lox, cream cheese, capers, and thinly sliced red onion on a toasted everything bagel. It's absolute perfection. If you're a bagel lover like me, do yourself a favor and seek out this hidden gem. Your taste buds will thank you! read more

Hank's Bagels - Entry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burbank, California

One of the best bagel shops around Los Angeles! I know that's quite a statement but what sets them apart is the cream cheese! This is my second time at here and the service is always top tier! They have seating in the back and in the front of the shop and plenty of parking around the shop! I got the no. 1 with onion bagel. To be honest it'll be good with any bagel of your choice. But I have to say, GET THE ANGRY CREAM CHEESE! it's a habanero honey cream cheese and OMG it really elevates the flavor! Trust me, it's not that spicy and you'll be so happy. My wife and I couldn't stop talking about it the whole day! Definitely will be coming back to get some more of that! Pro tip: they have a salted chocolate chip bagel which is AMAZING! But they only have it available on weekdays now until they sell out. So don't miss out! read more

Been going to Hank's for over two years now. It's walking distance from my office. Monday is pretzel bagel day and I always look forward to Monday! The salt bagel, garlic Parmesan and everything are all delicious and my go tos. They are always so quick and attentive. Great space for sitting. read more

I have been hearing a lot about Hank's and found myself walking past it the other day. How could this former New Yorker not step inside?! It's a tiny shop but filled with lots of freshly made bagels and spreads. I ordered a sesame bagel with a schmear. Okay, not exactly a schmear...more like a small container. (I took most of it off to use another day when I got home) My bagel was ready at the pick up window in minutes. It was huge and absolutely delicious!!!! I am already dreaming of my next visit. (Going early so I can get a raisin bagel before they run out) *Street parking only - free in Toluca Lake/Burbank. *A few tables out front read more

These are the best bagels I have had in LA -- but they are a little on the expensive side.

My thing to do these days is trying new bagel spots. I love bagels and decided to try hanks after a morning hike. I got a salted rosemary bagel and a cheddar garlic bagel. Both bagels were really good!I wasn't expecting whole garlic cloves underneath the cheddar in the bagels which I did feel was a bit much but it didn't really hamper the taste. Service was quick, and I will definitely be back! read more

I wanted to love Hank's so bad! This has been on my bagel list for almost 2 years and I finally made it out. Let's preface this review by stating that I am an avid bagel lover!! I would eat one every single day if I could. My order is always an everything bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese at every bagel shop but I always make sure to try something else exclusive to that place. I had the number four on an everything bagel toasted. I know that toasting your bagels is frowned upon at some places but honestly, I don't even think they toasted mine. Aside from that it was sooooo chewy. Believe me I know that a good bagel is supposed to have a nice chew, but this was excessive. I don't think I've ever had a bagel this dense before, not in New York , not in Los Angeles , not anywhere. And even with all of the toppings on the everything bagel it somehow still lacked flavor. I think it may have needed more salt. As for the sandwich, I thought that it was definitely missing something. They add some kind of an aïoli, but even then it was still dry overall. It was $13.50 which is steep for a bagel sandwich, I asked if I can sub out the aïoli for cream cheese, but they said it would be two dollars extra to add. $15.50 for a veggie bagel is really pricey so I took it as is. The sandwich looked better than it actually tasted. The service was also not great. I wouldn't even call it good, nobody seemed like they wanted to be there. When my order was called out it was left on the table and the girl went right back inside before I could even grab it. I don't think that I will be back and I'm actually really bummed about it. read more

I love Hank's! It's one of my favorite breakfast places in the Burbank/Toluca Lake area. Their bagels are nice and chewy. The sesame, bialy, and salt bagels are my favorite. I usually order the #2 breakfast sandwich on an onion bialy. It's sooooo freakin' good. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Egg, gruyere, greens (I think collards?), hot peppers...It's a work of art. And I usually crave it at least once a month. (I only go out for breakfast on the weekends.) The employees are always so nice and look like they actually enjoy their jobs. Service is pretty quick, too. The breakfast sandwiches take about 10 minutes or so. But you can wait outside at one of the little tables they have. This is mostly a takeout place though. The sandwiches are a little pricey, but I promise, they're worth it! read more

Two stars because it's still Hank's, but this location is like the off-brand on-crack cousin of the Sherman Oaks Hank's--a little less charming, a little more "we don't toast bagels here," and a bit less customer-first. I ordered two onion bialys. Toasted with cream cheese. Simple, right? Toast the bagel. That's a basic bagel option. They agreed to it when I ordered... SO TOAST THE FREAKIN BAGEL! That's the covenant between bagel and man we have all signed-off on. But I get my order, bite into it and... it's cold. Not "cooling-off-from-a-toast-sesh" cold. I mean COLD. And chewy. Unlike a toasted bagel that would be... wanna guess?? If you said "warm and crunchy" you win! Except not here. You would lose. So I bring it back to the counter and I'm like, very politely, "Hey, this was supposed to be toasted." And then the guy launches into a TED Talk about why it's impossible to toast an onion bialy because of the onions on top blah blah blah. Then he tells me that if I want it toasted next time, I should ask for it "extra toasted." Next time? We're still in this time, bro. This was in the same monologue where he explained the impossibilities of toasting an onion bialy. But if one says the magic words "extra toasted" then it unlocks a secret-menu of toasting opportunities?? The f*ck?! And THEN...nothing. No "let me re-toast that for you." No "I'm so sorry, here's a new bagel." Just his nonsensical "This was your fault for not saying EXTRA toasted." All that to say, I'll stick to Sherman Oaks Hank's--where they still believe in the integrity, sanctity, and possibility of a toasted onion bialy. God bless America. read more

Checked all my boxes! Delicious food, excellent customer service, and cute branding/interior! It's grab and go style as the inside is tiny and lacking seating. However, there are a few tables to sit at outside. I knew it was going to be a good bagel shop when the sign read open till 2 or till sold out. Luckily there were plenty of bagels available on a Sunday morning at 9 am. If I was a local, this would be my spot. read more

Cashier was irritable throughout my entire interaction with her. The business was closing in 45 minutes but by her attitude she was ready to leave for the day. I brought a friend to check this place out but the cashier basically rushed us to order. After ordering we went to get a cup of water at their self serve area. We noticed the container was empty and kindly asked another staff member if we could get assistance. This staff member also came off irritable to even assist us that she responded with someone else can help you. The overall atmosphere was a bit unwelcoming. I'm hoping that this customer service was only because it was New Year's Day. Maybe some staff members are upset they had to get up early to work or just hungover. Sesame Bagel- 10/10 Great flavor and texture. Angry Spread- 10/10 Don't be fooled as this spread does have a kick of spice. Number 3- 7/10 Very heavy on all the veggies (tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and watermelon radishes). This bagel only had 3 slices of lox. For a $17 bagel I was honestly expecting more than 3 slices. read more

For years I have heard a very loud, vocal minority, "you can't find a good bagel in Los Angeles." Then Hank's opened up and suddenly I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out and were suddenly silenced...but something wonderful has happened, Los Angeles is going through a bagel renaissance...over the past few years native New Yorkers are becoming less grumpy about where to get a good bagel. I will preface that Hank's is not a traditional New York bagel...nothing will match that bodega, coffee cart, or deli you're used to. Instead, Hank's is more than just a New York style bagel, it is amazing bread, period. It just happens to be bagel shaped. The dough is pillowy soft and chewy. The crust is crunchy, but not so much that you can't take a bite through it. The plain bagel tastes great, not just a baked, flavorless sponge like the supermarket ones we're used to. It the perfect nexus of artisan bread, sourdough, and the second best breakfast sandwich bread (after croissants). Like any good bagel shop, you can get your traditional bagels here...poppy, everything, sesame, etc. On weekends, they have egg as a daily special and it's my favorite (even though it's not quite as eggy as other places). They have rotating daily specials, like Friday's are the Serrano Cheddar which is simply amazing. Schmeared heavily with their house made cream cheese, it tastes like you're eating the best jalapeño popper ever. Where Hank's shines the most though is that it's not just a bagel shop, but maybe one of the best sandwich places in the city. I've used this phrase before for other restaurants, but what they do here is alchemy. The #3 belongs in the pantheon of great LA sandwiches along with the #19 at Langers and the Godmother from Bay Cities. The #3 is their smoked salmon sandwich. On first glance, it's too much...lox, scallion cream cheese, capers, radish, pickled onion, salted cucumber, sprouts, tomato, and dill. There was a time in my life when I would have asked some of those things to be removed, but thankfully, at the time, they had a no substitution policy...because all these things go together. The saltiness, the acid, and the fat combine into the best possible bite. This isn't just a symphony of flavors, it's their opus. There's only two negatives I'll bring up with the #3...the construction of so many things on a somewhat dense piece of bread leads to a lot of spill outs, so eating this sandwich can be quite messy at times. There is an option for having it scooped, which I'm normally not in favor of removing any of the bread, but it's one of the few times where I think it's necessary. The other negative about this sandwich is that it's not good as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, it's still a ten out of ten, but for their first few years, Hank's made their gravlax in house...but when they could not sustain getting the quality ingredients they wanted to keep up their standard, they were forced to pivot to serving high quality smoked salmon they could source at a similar cost. There's been other times when they could not get the right poppyseeds or other ingredients to make specific bagels so those were just off the menu some days. While it may be disruptive, I really do appreciate their commitment to high quality. They could have just gone with cheaper, lesser quality stuff, but instead they commit to the integrity of their products. Hank's may not have been the first great bagel in Los Angeles, but it's certainly among the greats. read more

This place is amazing! I tried an everything jalapeño cheddar bagel with lox spread and it was more than fantastic. The bagel was fresh and crisp. And the spread was just perfect on the bagel with the right amount of lox. They also offer water cups and dental picks to get all that everything bagel out of your teeth after. Staff were friendly and ordering at the counter was easy. Food came out at a reasonable time and we waited outside in the nice weather to wait at some outdoor seating. I will come back here when in the area to try something else! read more

This was a pretty great experience overall. This place is good; a little on the expensive side but not bad at all. I did try the #1 this time and i've tried other things before but this was probably my least favorite. Nonetheless, I have to say that you can taste the quality in everything. It tastes fresh (I'll update if or once I try more things off the menu). They have a few tables and chairs outside but don't have any indoor seating, which is fine. The service was great. Pretty quick! read more

Just moved to the area and read the reviews here so I wanted to try it out. Maybe we just got the worst options but the bagels were not good. We got the #2 and #7. Both of us couldn't even finish the bagels, the flavors felt off. Took forever to get the bagels which were greasy but flavorless. Just a bagel with cream cheese would have been way better. read more

Five big fat stars for Hank's! They take cash. They don't run out of onion bagels at 1:45 PM! They have a cute little dog friendly patio in the back. Their sandwiches are delicious. Everyone is nice. Alex took my order and brought out our sandwiches. He's a really nice guy and a great employee. We got a number three and a number one. Number three: nova lox, bagel and cream cheese with the works. Number one: bacon, egg, cheddar and tomato. Hank's is awesome! I highly recommend them for anyone who appreciates a great bagel sandwich. read more

$7 for an egg bagel with lox spread. It's a bustling place with a line out the door, and then a 5-10 minute wait for your food. I found a seat on the sidewalk to eat my bagel immediately, and I was really disappointed. Mine was completely overtoasted (I posted a photo - it's black!). The lox spread was good, but seriously, they must've double toasted it or something. Feh. :( read more

Place is tiny and gets busy really quick. Highly recommend Hanks. read more

Already in the area and saw some bagels so gotta try some! They have daily special flavors (pretzel!) as well as the usual favorites like plain, salt, onion and everything. I grabbed a bagel + bacon, about $7.50 total. Food came out at the pick up table outside. Some tables are set up on the sidewalk. Bagel was chewy and bacon candied. Good filling quick meal! read more

Hank's is great for a morning lox & bagel. We went on a Saturday mid-morning and there was a short line and lots of folks either waiting for their bagel sandwiches/coffee orders or eating on the few sidewalk tables provided. I went with the No.3 and I chose an egg bagel. This comes with gravlax, scallion schmear, cucumbers, capers, pickled onion, tomato, dill & sprouts. This is not a cheap bagel sammich. It's $15.50. It was a tasty bagel sandwich, no doubt. I asked for it to be toasted. I won't next time. For this price, i thought there should have been more lox. That wouldve almost justified the price IMO. The combination of ingredients were really good. I liked that they added sprouts. The lox had a nice smokiness to it and the schmear was delicious. The lady also got a No.3 but with an everything bagel. She shared my sentiments on wanting more lox for the price. She liked her bagel sandwich even still. Service was friendly. Being our first time there, the young woman taking the orders was helpful & nice. We would go back for sure. I would try the No.1 next time which has fried egg, bacon, cheddar & tomato in it. That sounds good. Street parking or small parking lot out back. Order inside. Pay inside. Pick up order on the table outside by their double door opening. read more

I wanted to like this place so much. I used to live in NYC and I love a bagel with lox and scallion cream cheese. However, the bagels here are just so chewy and difficult to eat to the point of being almost inedible. First off, we specifically asked for toasted and I do not think the bagels were toasted at all. Second, the bagels are SO chewy and difficult to eat, almost to the point of being rubber. It was a constant battle in my mouth to swallow each bite. My jaw physically hurt after I was done eating the sandwich. As someone who has eaten hundreds of bagels, this is absolutely not a normal bagel consistency! The bagels here are also smaller than what I am used to and contain less lox and cream cheese filling than other places. The lox tasted good though, and were the one bright spot. This is NOT the place to go if you've ever had a New York bagel. read more

Bagels have started coming back into style and this place is the perfect spot for a LA style bagel. I was able to get their jalapeno bagel and angry cream cheese and it was delicious, although a bit spicy if you're not ready for it.

Hank's absolutely lives up to the hype. I got their breakfast sandwich with maple glazed bacon, sharp cheddar, and aioli, and it was incredible. The bacon was perfect, and the bagel itself was insanely good, soft, squishy, and perfectly chewy. We also tried a couple of their lunch sandwiches, including the sopressata and the tuna salad, and both were packed with flavor and super fresh. No sides needed. The bagels are the star. I'm 100% coming back for a dozen salt bagels. Obsessed read more

Stopped by right around opening so fortunately there was street parking and no line. Service was good and friendly - the cook in the back was singing his heart out at 7am which brightened our morning. We got the #1 and #4. #1 said that the bacon was spicy but there wasn't much spice which was good. It was messy to eat but had good flavor. #4 was tasty. Definitely packed full which made it hard to eat, but I'm not complaining because for the price I would expect it to have a hefty amount of toppings. Both bagels were a little on the chewy side but not sure if that's avoidable once toasted bagels cool off. I would be down to come back and would probably get the same thing! We have heard good things about the rosemary bagel and I would like to try it sometime! read more

Hip Hip Hooray for awesome bagels in Burbank!!!! This place beats all of those other chain bagel shops - I.e. Noah's Bagels, Einstein Bros.... Hank's quality is awesome! Chewy outside soft inside. I wish they had blueberry flavor....but the others, like Cinnamon and Jalepeno are great! They also have specialty cream cheese and honey butter! All good. The people who work there aren't the coolest...everytime I've gone they all seem overwhelmed, unhappy to be working, or a bit uppity for my taste. Never a warm welcome feeling. read more

For the very RARE five stars that I provide, I am absolutely going to give it to "Hank's ...a deli of sorts" I was in shock to learn that this particular deli has been open since 2019! Had I known I probably would've been ordering sandwiches from them throughout Covid?! Situated right next to the Toluca Lake UCLA motion picture medical facility, they offer an array of sandwiches that are absolutely delicious. I guess I was extra lucky because the bagels I had were spanking fresh! Hopefully they're always like this, but I highly recommend a sandwich here!! Also incredibly impressive is they make sure to take care for those who have special needs. Check out the fact that they will come out to you if you just ring the bell in a wheelchair or have difficulty walking.! Thank you to Hanks for taking care of our seniors and special needs community. Only possible comment I would have is maybe try to have the tables outdoor wiped down a little more often . But when you're busy and having to make food for everybody, it's totally understandable. This doesn't get priority every time. read more
