    I'm still looking for a bagel that matches up to NY's Apollo Bagels and these aren't it. I got the Grampa Sam ($21) which is an everything bagel with plain schmear, nova salmon, fried capers, pickled onions, dill and lemon. The crust was too hard and there wasn't enough chew to the bagel. There wasn't enough schmear, which was too whipped and wet, and I thought that the lox wasn't plentiful enough. Especially for that price. Glad I went during an off time so I didn't have to wait too long.

    Super unique bagel spot! My personal favorites were the Deanna Michelle and uncle Dave! The shmear here is really good and the bagels are named after family members which is a cute touch. Bagels themselves are on the thinner side and have a nice crisp. I prefer these to Layla bagels which are more chewy so it's harder to bite.

    4.5/5 New favorite bagel spot -- they use 72-hour fermented sourdough to make every bagel. I got the Kathy & Rick: Cantabrian anchovy butter, chives & pickled guindilla peppers served open faced on the freshest available bagel. It is so perfect chewy and crispy (not bready) and not too salty. Mine ended up on an everything bagel but I would love to try the other flavors. No line on a Friday around noon. I parked in the neighborhood side streets about a block behind the restaurant Tip: No substitutions and no "toasters". They are baking bagels all day and serving them fresh!

    Right next to my to-go bakery, obv Mustard has come into my attention since few months ago when they first opened their door. The line kinda terrified me though plus some reviews saying they're out of stock pretty early in the day. Besides, the opening window was indeed relatively short. Finally making my way there, the line was actually moving swiftly even on busy weekend. Seats were limited for dining on the spot, but if you came in small group (ideally 2), it's not too bad of a wait. You'd order first, got a number, then they'd deliver your order to your table. We tried Grampa Sam, their open-faced salmon bagel served with schmear and fried capers. My husband loved the fried capers and did find it making this menu unique. I did try it and compared to other salmon bagels in town, my personal preference would fancy the others that featured more components beyond salmon and schmear. Don't get me wrong though, Mustard's pretty good and their everything bagel was yum, being at the right balance of crispy coating yet chewy inside! My fave was my own order of Harry's special, the seasonal sweet option with sesame bagel, miso honey butter, and lemon vanilla mascarpone. Sweet, bit of salty hint, and light airy cream mixed with super fresh strawberries! Personal favorite now and I hope they stay longer.

    Quality, fresh bagels with unique fresh toppings. They don't dethrone Courage Bagels, but they're in second place for me. The male employee who took our order was kind and had a funny sense of humor. It's a small place that you have to line-up to place your order and pay. There were available seating at one of their sidewalk tables, so we enjoyed our bagels and drip black coffee (no sugar or creamer available at this place--which is fine by me because I drink my coffee black, but I'm not sure how that's going for others?). They give you an order number and they bring your bagels to your table. Grab some napkins, they're messy but tasty! Street parking available near and around Mustard's Bagels. Go give 'em a try!

    This bagel pop-up is really good. The bagels are a good consistency. A little chewy, but not too much. With fresh, creative ingredients in the toppings, each bagel is a work of art. For now they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but that may change in a few months.

    Avo special
    Hurnan V.

    Excited to try this new bagel shop in town! They have limited hours and the lines do get quite long, so we came on a Saturday morning at 9am. We waited in line for about 10 min (third in line). We got the Uncle Dave as well as the avocado special. The food was ready in 10 min. The best part was the bagel- it's toasty on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. The Uncle Dave had a ton of onions, generous spread, but with only one thin layer of lox. The avocado special looked so pleasing and aesthetic but the pickled sour taste was a bit overwhelming. Overall the flavors are interesting, the bread is a standout, but the bagels we had were slightly off the mark. Looking forward to trying other sandwiches. PS open seating in front of store and you have to find street parking.

    Salmon
    Alex M.

    The place is super tiny with no indoor seating space but some outdoor tables. The server was super friendly and gave us a free orange cake slice which was delicious. The cucumber one with the miso spread was my absolute favorite. For a reasonable price you get such a fresh bite of the cucumber over a toasty bagel and some amazing miso spread to wrap it all together in such a magnificent combination. The chili oil also adds a nice hint of spice. My favorite by far. The salmon one was also really good. The everything bagel is also fantastic, crispy and freshly baked. The pickled onion goes super well and the cream cheese and capers make it a great classic. Not as iconic but it won't disappoint. Salmon was super fresh. Banana hazelnut bagel was not for me. There was a slight bitter taste and with the lack of sweetness it just wasn't what I was expecting for a little dessert bite. I appreciate it is not meant to be as sweet as Nutella but there was just a certain bitterness to it that I didn't love. There is limited coffee options and a few beverages offered but the flavor composition of these bagels make it a perfect choice to not feel too full after a meal and get your bagel cravings more than satisfied. Excited to try some of the other unique bagel flavors.

    FIRSTLY, you must divorce the notion of what you are eating and your expectation for what a bagel should taste like, and then your experience will be completely different! The internet feels compelled to pit Courage and Mustard's against one another for the spot of LA's best bagel, but I think Mustard's wins only with regard to their line (the lack thereof) and their lox. The lox is perfectly salty with no fishiness or stringiness and it's truly a perfect buttery bite. The other toppings are also great, with the unique take on fried capers and bright, punchy pickled onions. However!!!!! The crunch to chew ratio is insane, to the point where this sht is more of a CRACKER than a bagel. I genuinely thought my front filling was going to come out with how crunchy it was. That being said, it was delicious, just not what I expected. Also -- if you're there in the winter, I'd probably get it to go even if there's seating outside, because it's on the stretch of Washington where you can feel every single breeze like the Big Bad Wolf is trying to take down Culver City.

    I'm always searching for a bagel spot in LA, and I think I found one of my favorite spots! I ordered the Deanna Michelle and Uncle Dave, and both were delicious. They come out fresh and tasty. My personal favorite is the Deanna Mitchell as it's so flavorful and I've never had anything like it. It reminds me as a spinoff of the DTF Cucumber Salad. Service was super fast as well! Perfect bagel spot!

    Strawberry special bagel and Deanna Michelle
    Adriana B.

    wowwww this was delicious!!!! I was impressed by the flavors in both the savory and sweet bagel I had. The chilli oil blew me away, it wasn't too salty or overpowering and it had the perfect crunchy texture. The flavors came together really well in both of these bagels. We had to stand in line, but it went by quick and our order was also out within 5-10 minutes. There's limited seating, but we managed to find a spot and the tables were on a really nice quiet street so the whole experience was pleasant

    Deanna Michelle (cucumber salad bagel): 6/10; it does taste like the Din Tai Fung cucumber salad on a bagel. It's refreshing and light, just super messy to eat and the bagel is a bit too hard Weezy (cocoa hazelnut w/ banana): 4/10; unfortunately the pairing of flavors for this bagel was not it. The bagel was too salty for this bagel that is supposed to be sweet. Perhaps would taste better on plain bagel instead of a salty one but they don't allow adjustments.. Seasonal green tomato bagel: 7/10; the flavors on this bagel tasted the best, but again the bagels here are too hard and painful to eat. There are maybe like 10 tables outside and it's a bit cramped. Not ideal seating. Bagels came out pretty fast and there was no line on a Sunday at 10am.

    Seasonal fruit compote
    Diana N.

    Went on two separate occasions. First time came at around 9am. No wait no line, plenty of seating. Got the miso scallion schmear with their everything and nori bagels which didn't actually taste all too special. As we sat down, one of the servers brought a comp bag of salmon skin for the furbaby! Made in house fresh. Such a pleasant surprise for the pup. Second time around we came around 1230 and it was packed. All tables full and lineout the door but it moved pretty quick and the fruit compote we ordered came out within 10 min. It was on their plain salted bagel and it was soo crispy crunchy in a goood way. The fruit and vanilla smear complimented very well with the Thai basil too. Highly recommend. And we also got another bag of salmon skins for the furbaby. Our favorite!! Everyone is so nice and love it overall. Great neighborhood spot to pop in if you're close by.

    In comparison to other bagel shops in LA, this spot falls right in the middle. Unfortunately, what…read morereally holds it back is the price point and the overwhelming hype--both from long lines and TikTok buzz--that doesn't quite match the experience. The scale tips more toward the downside when it comes to the bagels themselves. The toppings aren't particularly unique, or consistent, and the bagel had a noticeably firm texture that didn't stand out in a good way. What initially drew me in--and ultimately prompted this review, my first review--was the coffee. After trying 50+ coffee shops over the past 2 years alone, I can honestly say this was one of the more disappointing lattes I've had. I ordered a whole milk latte, and the best way to describe it is simply: watery. It wasn't milk-forward, not sweet, and surprisingly not even very coffee-forward. Instead, it had a slightly herbal, almost oily, burnt-bean flavor that felt diluted with water. I also ordered the carrot cake latte, which had the same base issue. The carrot cake foam helped mask it a bit, but it tasted more like a strong sugar cookie flavor than anything close to carrot cake. In the end, giving grace, perhaps it was just a "bad barista day". Overall, it's not terrible--but definitely not worth the hype or the price. *If visiting on the weekend arrive before 9:30 to beat the line if you dare.*

    Parking is ass but WORTH IT…read more Cute shop, good amount of seating. I went in on a Tuesday at 11am, only 1 person in front of me. The line definitely comes in waves though. Every employee was very kind and patient with everyone including me. Got my bagel and coffee in 10 minutes, both were fantastic. One of the best bagel and coffee spots in LA. Will absolutely come back!

It tastes like the most incredible sourdough-Neapolitan hybrid you've ever had: super crispy, airy, with a nice sturdy body and incredible flavor.

Also after we ordered the guy at the register disappeared so we pretty much stood there for 10 minutes while the line built up until someone had to come over and check us out, aside from that experience was nice. Parking can be a bit tricky, but we were able to find a metered street spot directly in front of the restaurant and opted to get everything to go, but they do have many tables inside to sit down and eat so dining in is an option. The menu is pretty large and they have all sorts of bagel shop classic options on there. The staff was friendly and aside from waiting to pay everything that we ordered was made very quickly. For this visit, we chose the Lox bagel, the Avocado, Egg, & Cheese and the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel. We also tried the Blueberry Bagel with the Cookie Cream Cheese, and that was especially sweet and fantastic. All of the bagels we ordered were fresh and each of the three were very good and we would definitely order them again. Overall, it was a good experience and I plan to be back again in the near future.
