Too Good To Go order for $10
Camille W.

I'm grateful that places like this exist in LA. Modern bread and bagel offers a good variety of gluten-free options, making it one of the restaurants that I would suggest for my gluten-free friends. I just picked up Too Good To Go order from them, and I gotta say I was impressed. For $10 I ended up getting 10 pastries and baked goods. The box was heavy when the server handed it to me see photo. I could see ordering one of these for a party or a breakfast event that you may have. I tried the pumpkin cinnamon roll. It was just OK, and maybe that's because of some of the gluten-free substitutions. I didn't like it as much as I thought, but it may be better once it's heated up and I ate it room temperature.

Trash can

1 Star -- Absolutely Disgusting. Unacceptable Cleanliness. I am honestly shocked by the condition of Modern Bread & Bagel at The Village in Topanga. This is easily one of the dirtiest restaurants I have visited in a long time. From where I was sitting, I could see a disturbing amount of grease buildup in the kitchen area, giving the impression that it hadn't been properly cleaned in ages. The floors were absolutely filthy, with layers of grime that looked like months of accumulated dirt. Dirty dishes were left sitting around, with nobody bothering to clear them. This isn't just a matter of a busy restaurant falling behind on cleaning. The level of neglect I observed was genuinely appalling. For an establishment that prepares and serves food, basic hygiene should be the absolute minimum. What I witnessed made me seriously question the cleanliness of the food preparation environment. Absolutely unacceptable, disgusting, and extremely disappointing. Management needs to address this immediately. I would not recommend this location to anyone in its current condition.

Been meaning to try this place! We frequently visit the Village but this is mostly a breakfast place so they close early. The times we were there were in the evening and never got to try it till this past weekend! The vibes of this place is absolutely beautiful! Love the garden chairs/seating outside and the beautiful inside. The bagels are all on the wall which makes it look very beautifully presented. I got an everything bagel with regular cream cheese and an iced cinnamon bun latte. My bf got the super seed bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a raspberry matcha latte. We sat outside and our food and drinks came out so quickly! Love how loaded they make the bagels with the cream cheese, just the way I like it. The drinks were great as well and not as sweet as it sounds! Such a great breakfast spot and would definitely love to come back! IG: @ammysalamii

Avocado French Toast Sticks
Yaniv M.

Nice place for breakfast with a relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the food was very good. I had the grilled salmon salad with lettuce, avocado, and cucumber. It was fresh, healthy, and really tasty. My wife had the avocado toast. It wasn't a big portion, but it looked great and tasted good. We came after our workout for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is the cleanliness. I understand it's hard to keep everything clean when a restaurant is busy, but this time the place was almost empty. There were food crumbs on the floor around our table and some tables still had leftovers on them. It wasn't very pleasant while eating. I'll probably come back because the food is worth it. If the restaurant is cleaner next time, I'd be happy to give it more stars.

Massively disappointed. I had Modern Bread and Bagel saved in my Yelp saves for a while. I found myself nearby and decided to bring home a treat. I picked up the cinnamon roll slice and the strawberry donut. Both were ultra dense and flavorless, save for the frosting. Not sweet, not savory, just completely bland. We won't be returning.

Everything bagel
Ashley B.

The best gluten free bagel I've ever had. I've missed a large bagel with overloaded cream cheese

Cinnamon Bun Latte
Nataly K.

I ordered a cinnamon bun latte and a matcha. Unfortunately both were a huge miss. My latte was not sweet at all despite all of the sugar and cold foam. I'm sure it was added to it. I love a creative, sugary creation but this just tasted like milk with (I hope) a splash of espresso. However, the look inside was so cozy, music was the perfect volume, and additional sugar, condiments, and napkins ( anything you might need) was stocked, clean, and readily accessible. However, I cannot recommend what is unfortunately one of their advertised, signature creations.

Stuffed Pastrami Smoked Salmon Bagel (Special)
Michelle E.

I really like Modern Bread and Bagel. Been a few times before, but 1st time reviewing. Admittedly it's not cheap (which keeps me from binging on the baked goods) and not exactly next door, which keeps me in check as well. Was feeling indulgent so I went with the special stuffed pastrami Smoked salmon bagel - basically a warmed up pull apart bagel stuffed with smoked salmon, cream cheese, green onions - heavenly. I got the latke tots as well to round out my carb fest - they are good, little latkes dusted with parmesan and chives with alioi to dip in. Yeah, that was a lot. Maybe I'll go back to my regular Smoked salmon bagel or eggs next time.

Jerusalem Egg Salad Sandwich (DF) and the Giant Breakfast Burrito
Alisa M.

As a celiac, this place is heaven. I always come for their baked goods! They have a variety of their gluten free options, which is much appreciated. This time we tried some of their main food items, and it did not disappoint. My non gf friend liked her breakfast burrito and I liked my egg salad bagel. I can't get this anywhere local! There's always a spot to sit at and the service is standard, polite and to the point. A great place for brunch or to pick up a sweet treat!

Great breakfast, lunch and snack selections with indoor or outdoor seating. Service was friendly and efficient. The decor is super cute and location is convenient to access from the parking lot and is in the middle of the strip. I enjoyed my smoked salmon with super seed bagel with chive cream cheese, tomato, arugula and pickled onions. I also got a coffee bread pastry that was light and fluffy and washed it down with a honey matcha latte.

Latke Tots

Just want to start off by saying the manager here is kind and seems to always be attentive with everything I see him helping out every time I go. His customer service is good. Aside from that I love the iced honey matcha it's my go to. So far I've enjoyed their latka potato's the sauce is bomb their lox sandwiches amazing I really enjoyed the open faced one with the lemon! Their goat cheese one with the chilli jam so good and I also really liked their grilled cheese with the onion jam so far everything I've had has been so good!!! I love the ambience love that they have outdoor sitting and the inside is spacious. Excited to try out other things on the menu so far you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Michele L.

Modern Bread & Bagel is a 100% gluten-free bakery in Topanga Village. They have an INSANE selection of baked treats!! There is comforting simplicity in their Dine-in Exclusives, only available at the Woodland Hills location. The Miso Salmon Bowl was one of my favorites!! Perfectly seared and flaky! Hits all the right notes with Furikake, avocado, sweet potatoes, marinated cucumbers and pickled onions! The miso sauce brings an umami flavor that's savory and salty! The Shakshuka came piping hot in a cast iron skillet and crusty bread. This beloved breakfast dish with poached eggs is hearty, spicy and savory! The feta cheese adds a salty and tangy element. The Blueberry Pancakes is fluffy and delicious with homemade blueberry sauce. The maple butter is whipped, made with 100% pure maple syrup, dairy free and vegan. They have a range of hot and cold coffee drinks, including their signature drinks. My favorite was the Mexican Mocha!! They also have a wide assortment of gluten free bagels. With a variety of gluten free, nut free pastries. Some are dairy free, vegan and soy free. So moist!! So scrumptious!! Lovely indoor and outdoor seating!!! Relaxing and cozy!! Wonderful customer service from Eli!!

Ask the Community - Modern Bread And Bagel

Do they have quiche?

Yes, I saw quiche both on the menu and in the case. But they do say they make everything fresh daily so when you go they could be sold out. When I was there they only had one.

Is their parking near the location?

Yes. There is an enormous indoor lot with 1.5 hours of free parking, as well as pay spots outdoors in the lot along Topanga Canyon.

Is everything on the menu gluten free?

Last time I was there (a month or so ago), everything was gluten free. For a celiac, ex-bread lover, this place is heaven.

Naturally, we were thrilled when the Los Angeles location opened a few years back in the Arts District, but our first few visits left us disappointed. While the food was always good, the service felt kind of arrogant and snooty. GATG subsequently fell off our dining radar. However, a recent invitation to a private group event completely turned things around. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was flawless--starting with a warm welcome at the hostess stand and continuing with the incredibly attentive, friendly servers assigned to our room. Because it was a set menu for our party of 12, we ended up trying several dishes we wouldn't normally order on our own, and every single one was spectacular. The creative cocktails were equally impressive. While the location is, for us anyway, still a bit off the beaten path, the space itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous blend of indoor and outdoor seating. Our private dining room was lovely and comfortably hosted our group, though it could probably fit a few more. If you are looking to host a small group event with great vibes, stellar food, and top-tier service, I highly recommend giving them a look.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard. Great food, fun energy, and a patio that makes you forget you're in LA traffic territory. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come ready for powdered sugar on your shirt. Miguel C.

The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

I live right around the corner to Manuela and I would have to say it's my go to spot…read more You can just walk in and get a seat at the bar. The bartenders are chills and super accommodating. The ambiance is refreshing to see in Arts District. The food is great but you HAVE to get their biscuits and/or their cornbread.

We enjoyed a solid Friday night at Manuela in the Downtown LA Arts District, with a 7:30 PM…read morereservation, before heading to a concert just down the street at the Moroccan Lounge. This is a GREAT launching point for an evening in the area. Dinner, drinks, live music... what's not to like? First, parking. There's plenty of parking in the surrounding area, but finding a spot on a busy Friday night might require some patience. Fortunately, Manuela offers valet parking for $22, which instantly solves that problem! Finding the restaurant is part of the adventure. Tucked away within the Hauser & Wirth art gallery complex, you make your way through what feels like a little alley before discovering this hidden gem. The atmosphere is idellic! Manuela has a cool industrial-meets-rustic vibe, with exposed brick, interesting artwork, warm lighting, and plenty of greenery. The open kitchen adds energy, while the beautiful outdoor courtyard offers a more relaxed setting. A terrific combination of art, architecture, and dining! Our waiter, Luke, did a great job shepherding us through the evening. Truth be told, I never even looked at the menu! I put my trust in Luke, and he certainly didn't steer us wrong. The chicken was OUTSTANDING! Beautifully roasted, exceptionally moist, tender, and loaded with flavor. The accompanying sauces added just enough kick, and the portion was GENEROUS! My wife and I split the chicken, and there was plenty for both of us. We paired it with a delicious arugula salad featuring fresh pears, creamy goat cheese, spiced pecans, and aged balsamic. A wonderful combination of sweet, tangy, and crunchy. The pecans were particularly good! To wash it all down, I enjoyed their refreshing white sangria. Light, fruity, and VERY tasty. I could have easily enjoyed another! Now, a couple of observations. The atmosphere can get LOUD. We had a long table for six, and those seated at either end occasionally had to strain to hear the conversation. Of course, maybe I'm just getting old? LOL! Either way, it's a lively restaurant, so don't expect a quiet, intimate evening when the place is hopping. Another interesting twist: the restrooms aren't directly connected to the restaurant. You'll need to step outside and head across the way. Not a big deal, just something worth knowing. Speaking of the restrooms, ladies, apparently there's some rather unusual wall art awaiting you. Keep your eyes open for what looks like a chocolate-colored garden gnome crossed with Chewbacca. And take a CLOSE look at the interesting adult toy he appears to have discovered in the garden. Let's just say it's definitely NOT a carrot! LOL! Apparently, even the bathroom art has a sense of humor. Bottom line: We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Manuela. Excellent food, terrific service from Luke, a unique atmosphere, and an ideal location for a night out in the Arts District. The chicken alone is worth coming back for! Great food, good friends, live music afterward, and apparently a naughty garden gnome. I'd call that a successful Friday night!
