A gluten free Mecca for any family affected by celiac disease. I know it's now become a trend to eat GF, and see so many people adhering to it sporadically, but to those with severe diagnosed gluten allergies or autoimmune disorders, this place is a life saver. So many options, delicious baked goods, no fear of X-contamination, and reasonable prices (unlike Breadblok that sold an inedible GF croissant for $6 three years ago). I am very glad this place exists and wish they had one in Studio City / Sherman Oaks, but in the meantime the drive to Beverly Hills is well worth it. read more

I've been to Modern Bread and Bagel three times. Their location is great. Right in the heart of Beverly Hills. They are just South of Sephora on Beverly Drive. They have comfy indoor and outdoor seating. Very easy to pick up to-go. They have brunch all day. Special menus for the month. Coffee and specialty coffee drinks. They are 100% gluten free and certified kosher. I revisited Modern Bread and Bagel twice more since my last review (which was delivery). Service in house was great both times. But the quality of the food was vastly different. On one visit we ordered the raspberry matcha loaf, orange loaf, and chocolate zucchini loaf. The raspberry matcha was my favorite of the three. We also got the potato leak quiche which was yummy. I ordered the Farmer's Market bagel but when I got home I noticed they gave me Spicy Feta bagel instead. Tried calling to let them know but they didn't pick up. It turned out to be a happy accident. We wanted to go back and get it again. We liked it so much. I also got the zaatar tuna which was tasty but it was a bit too crunchy for me with lots of celery. Some people may like it that way but I like it more smooth. My next visit however, was not a success. It was, again, a to-go order. Sadly, none of the food tasted fresh. I ordered pastries and the Spicy Feta again. The bagel on the Spicy Feta was hard as a rock. We were unable to cut it with a knife. Such a shame. A sharp difference from the time before. At a bagel shop I expect consistency in the quality of bagels. The pastries, although beautiful to look at, didn't seem like they were made that day. I tried to call the restaurant multiple times to let them know about the bagel and pastries but no one ever answered. I was disappointed that I couldn't reach out to a team member to solve the issue. They really need to get someone to answer the phone. I really wanted to give this restaurant 4 or 5 stars because it has so much to offer and the concept is wonderful. However, the quality of the food was inconsistent and there was no way to reach out to them to solve the issue. It's a gamble on what kind of meal you will get and it shouldn't be that way. I really hope this problem gets fixed because this place has so much potential and I really did enjoy the food the first two times. read more

I adore Modern Bread and Bagel! As someone with celiac disease, it can be hard to find a restaurant where I feel safe. Modern Bread and Bagel being 100% gluten free AND delicious is a dream! I've brought several friends here and they can hardly believe it's all gluten free. I love the Farmer's Garden open face sandwich and the shakshuka dine-in special. I've also taken home one of their sourdough loaves and it was divine. The only thing that hasn't been a hit for me personally has been the doughnuts and the babka (they're a bit dry for my taste), but many of the other pastries have been incredible. I've loved the matcha strawberry loaf, and the coconut brownie special this month was out of this world. The staff is also so kind - always super patient as I'm deciding on things and ready to help with any questions. They have a nice indoor space and a cute little shaded patio out front so you can enjoy sitting outside without roasting in the heat/sun. read more

Cute small place with all gluten free breads and bagel sandwiches. Vegetarian/vegan as well. We got their blueberry danish - tasted just like a wheat one - and a donut. We have had some other gf donuts before and they werent great - this one was a lot closer to a regular donut. I also got the spicy feta open toast on sourdough - VERY GOOD. I loved the chili crisp and the fried eggs were cooked perfectly. VERY generous avocado and portion size. My husband got the g'day mate - i think that was it - with avo, egg, and vegan sausage. I think he liked mine better. I would definitely come back and get something with smoked salmon. The sourdough was great too. We also got the latke tots - they werent my favorite but the truffle aioli was very tasty. The woman behind the counter was so helpful since it was our first time and answered all our questions. Theres a parking structure not far away. read more

I woke up this beautifully clear and warm Sunday morning and found heaven on Beverly Drive close to my office: Modern Bread & Bagel. Everything is GF. Why have I just discovered this joint? GF Donuts, Babka, sourdough bread, sandwiches, coffee cake etc. This is probably best for my waist that I just discovered this Gluten Free Willy Wonka like place but I was like a kid in a candy store trying to decide what to order. I ordered THE BURRATA: Heirloom Tomato, Burrata, Ramp Pistou, Cracked Pepper, Fresh Basil. They were out of sourdough so I had it on an everything bagel. A little difficult to eat on the bagel and would order it on the sourdough bread but I sat on the banquette along the wall and it was delicious. At 11:30 am I asked the server when they close and was told 5pm. I told her good, because it may take me that long to try one of everything. I will be taking out a mortgage and decided to take home 2 GF treats for later. The items are a bit pricey but being Celiac for 26 years I am used to higher prices and these prices are not out of line. But, who am I kidding? I ordered the chocolate Babka and the strawberry glazed donut. I immediately decided I will eat one of them, probably the chocolate Babka, when I get home and try to have a slight modicum of constraint saving whatever else tickles my culinary fancy that I haven't had for many, many years for the Rams football game. I ate the Strawberry donut when I got home and it was very large and delicious. Likewise the chocolate babka which I haven't been able to eat due to being Celiac for over 26 years. Who knew Heaven was just 5 minutes away. read more

Great service, so delicious. Surprising how good their vegan tofu cream cheese is. My only wish is for more vegan options!! Like maybe a vegan salad? But super great spot for brunch with an amazing ambiance. Definitely will be coming back often. What a wonderful feeling not to have to worry about cross contamination! read more

Ordered a bagel from here and it was pretty good, but I have to say, they went a little cray with the amount of cream cheese they put. Every bite I would take, a bunch of cream cheese would be pushed out of my bagel and also get all over my hands and just be super messy. Don't get me wrong, I like a solid amount of cream cheese and I hate when there isn't enough and the bagel is dry. That being said, there can also be too much when you have a difficult time enjoying the bagel because you're eating mostly cream cheese. I got the everything bagel with chive cream cheese. read more

I just stumbled upon Modern Bread & Bagel. They have a nice covered patio and are dog friendly. There is street parking available. I've gone on weekdays, but I'm sure parking can be challenging on a weekend. The first time I went, I ordered the Farmer's Garden on a toasted Everything Bagel. It took quite some time to get my order and people who ordered after me, received their orders before me. I decided to give them a pass on the long wait because things happen and plus the Farmer's Garden was delicious. The bagel was chewy in a good way and super flavorful. Their pastry/dessert case is filled with colorful donuts, cookies, babke's & more, which I decided I needed to come back for. I came back 2 days later and got the avocado/lemon on a seeded bagel. Again, it was fresh, chewy and satisfying. I took a cookie home to go, but again will need to come back to try a donut or breakfast sandwich. Service is very friendly and I received my order quickly. Great little find. read more

Delicious breakfast stop! The place is known for their gluten free bagels/breads so of course we had to try their bagels/breads. We got the Breakfast Grilled cheese on Pan Demin bread and the Morning Stretch on everything bagel. The onion jam on the grilled cheese just blew my mind. It just pushed a simple grilled cheese sandwich into another level. The Morning Stretch sandwich was very flavorful with the addition of their red pepper paste. Would recommend both. The sandwiches are not that big so you don't feel overly stuffed. Next time, we will have to order the grilled cheese on a bigger bread or bagel. We also tried one of their drinks, the apple pie latte. It was really good and not overly sweet. They also have several sweet pastries and deserts. We got the apple pie cinnamon roll and the potato leek quiche to go. The cafe has plenty of seating both inside and outside. Service was very friendly. Metered street parking available as well as free 2 hour public underground parking nearby. read more

Since I have been wanting to come here for a long time now I went to great pains to find parking nearby and was finally successful. I ordered the B.E.C. on Parmesan toast. It was tasty. But that's the only good thing I have to say about this place. When I was about to pay I could tell another customer was really irked off because it seems like they took too long with her order to be ready. And I noticed the same complaints on other reviews. So here I am waiting for my order for over 10 minutes for something that is a very simple sandwich to make. Not sure why it takes so long but I'm waiting in their nice patio area. Yet being surrounded constantly by gnats makes it frustrating and unappealing to eat here. Well I was just served with my sandwich and not sure why it was packed to go when I told them I wanted to eat at the restaurant. I was responded to with a nonchalant sorry as he plopped down my "to go" bag. Overall very unimpressed for this hype of a place. The vegan bacon was so hard that it was as if I was biting into an impossible tree bark! The presentation was less than mediocre. So disappointing since I had read so many good reviews about this place. Definitely not worth the money or my time. read more

Delicious food, but variable service! The ambiance was very warm and modern, with a reasonable amount of seating. Definitely try the breakfast sandwiches, because they are so tasty. We got the breakfast grilled cheese sandwiches on an everything bagel, and they were packed with flavor. The onion jam sets it apart, so definitely recommend this one! We also got a morning stretch breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, which was also pretty good. They came out pretty fast when we went. The chocolate zucchini bread was moist and yummy, and would recommend this one over the cinnamon bun bread, which had a weird texture. There was a bit of an issue with a few staff members, who forgot about our vanilla latte and served other customers their drinks. Upon questioning the server they said they would check on it, but the drink never came. We asked the barista to make it as they forgot, and they nonchalantly handed over the drink with no apology. We thought this was an indicator of poor service for these specific individuals, but luckily the manager was kind enough to refund us the drink and give us a free pastry. read more

As someone with celiac, I don't say this lightly: Modern Bread and Bagel Modern Bread and Bagel is hands down the best pastries I have ever had. I have not had a croissant in EIGHT YEARS. Eight. Years. I took one bite and genuinely just stared at it. I made my friends try it (all gluten-eaters), and every single one of them said it was better than a normal croissant. I almost didn't believe it myself. It was flaky. Buttery. Layered. Not "good for gluten free." Just good. Period. And the donut??? Usually when you get a gluten-free donut, let's be honest , it's cake. It's always cake. This was not cake. This was a real donut. Light, fluffy, perfectly sweet -- truly the best donut I have ever had, gluten-free or not. It was so good that I made three separate purchases. I'd walk away... then go back up and order more. Not only to eat there, but to take home If anyone listens to me ever -- if you are celiac or even just gluten-free -- GO HERE. I live in San Diego and I will legitimately drive back just for this place. That's how serious I am. I think about it all the time. And I have to add, the staff was unbelievably kind. At one point I was half convinced they had secretly poisoned me with gluten because it was too good. Five stars isn't enough. read more

Great vegan options and everything is gluten free ! We love the chocolate zucchini bread and the blueberry coffee cake !

I hesitate to share about this place because it may get too crowded or trendy and we go here too often for that. But it's too good not to share. Solid bagel and cream cheese that would make a New Yorker blush to find in LA. And they have anything you could even want gluten free. Bread, croissants, challah, sandwiches, pastries. It's like is dream. This place is legendary on all fronts. And they have beautiful ambiance so bring your family for a breakfast for lunch. You can take a stroll in the neighborhood plaza after which is beautiful too. read more

Omg! GF Croissant?!?! The only place in the world that has a gluten agree Croissant!!!!!! I've been let down by other places before, so I was hesitant to get an $8 gf croissant. But I love their bagels so much, I figured I had a better shot at getting at least a good product. It. Was. Delicious! The closest thing to a flaky crunchy in the outside soft as a cloud pillow in heaven on the inside, this treat had me doing cartwheels. Next I'll actually try it with a spread. Kudos to getting this right!!! I'll see you next week! read more

Want to know how much I absolutely love Modern Bread and Bagel??? So much that I drive from Long Beach all the way to Beverly hill in LA traffic to come and get delicious baked goods and breads that are gluten free!!!!!!

His recommendations are always on point. He tour guides you through all the flavors and notes the key take always from each item. His selections that he's recommended have not let me down once!

I tried their avocado bagel and was disappointed. They have such great reviews and are supposed to be known for their bread but their bagels are extremely hard! I do want to give this place a chance and they did have some other interesting things on their menu, however I feel like if they can't make a simple bagel good how will the other items on the menu be :( They also do not take cash! Only card! I didn't have a card with me but luckily a gentleman offered to pay with his card and let me give him my cash. I wish they advertised as card only so people know. read more

I just don't think this quite hits the mark. Service is really good, but follow though isn't there. We asked for our food prepared for dine-in, it was delivered for take-out. I asked to hold the pico de gallo on the burrito - it came with pico any way (I expected more attention to that kind of detail at a restaurant serving a gluten-free audience, considering I need to cut out raw onions). Otherwise, it's generally ok. We had a chocolate sprinkles donut and it wasn't bad, just very dense, not fluffy like you would want in a donut. But not awful, just not really worth $50 for a bagel, donut and burrito that fell apart. read more

It's alright, not bad not good either. I had the Jerusalem egg with toasted sourdough bread and it was kinda disappointing for $11. Small sandwich portion, bland and soggy from the tomatoes with bread tasting more like stale whole grain rather than tangy sourdough. The bakery itself is beautiful with nice indoor and outdoor seating but the food just wasn't worth it. read more

I wanted to love this place but I don't eat gluten free. I decided to try the bagels due to the great reviews but honestly there is something about gluten free that gives off a cardboard taste.

Overall may not be for me. read more

Wow. I hate to write negative reviews but the quality of these bagels is just so poor. Heavily salty, doughy to a fault, - just nothing appealing. I would suggest Modern Bread and Bagel explore the recipes for bagels at Courage or Belle's bagels both commonly considered the best bagels in LA. I'm an improved recipe would make them contenders. read more

I will never, ever go back to this place. We own a business near them & it would be a convenient place to go. When it first opened the service was horrible. so we stopped for a bit - then went back. Service much better - super friendly front desk. BUT they close at 5:00 pm - okay - so I go in at 3:50 one day & all the outside seating is closed. I was like are you closing early? No, we just have to start putting all of the cushions in now or we'll be here till 9pm....ummmm really? Was just there again at 3:40 pm to order a bagel - nope kitchen closed. I'm like what? you close at 5:00. There are literally bagels on the wall. Nope no food after 3:30. I'm like then wtf are you doing here? Reply: just standing here. ok nooooo this is just wrong Modern Bagel. So to quote Pretty Woman....bigggg mistake. We know everyone in BH and u already had a bad reputation. Never, ever again. We'll take our business to Pop's or Layla or NY Bagel or the other bagel places in BH. read more
