Nova Lox
Lucia L.

Talk about ba-GOALS! As someone who's part of the LA breakfast bagel fanatic club, I'll have to be adding @popsbagelsla to my list of all-time favorites! This local bagel shop specializes in fresh, housemade bagels that feature a soft, fluffy inside with a perfectly crispy exterior and just the right amount of chewiness. I love how these bagels can enjoyed by themselves, with their signature cream cheese, or as an egg sandwich, pressed sandwich, or classic breakfast item. Both their savory and sweet options were absolutely standout, and I can't wait to be back again to try more off their menu! My only gripe (at least with the Brentwood location) is that parking can be difficult (street parking or valet), although that's a general Brentwood issue and not specific to this shop; and that orders (even for pre-ordered pickup/delivery) aren't fulfilled in a timely manner. I pre-ordered the day before and still waited 30 minutes past my pickup time, and there were other customers who had waited an hour for theirs. I do understand that this location is insanely busy, but perhaps a more organized ordering system + more staffing can improve order fulfillment and relieve stress from their employees. Featured here: Nova Lox the L.E.O. blueberry bagel with strawberry C.C.

Everything bagel and cream cheese with the strawberry lemon lemonade
Victoria L.

The everything bagel with plain cream cheese hit the spot. The only thing was the bagel had just a little too much salt for me, but I would order it again. The store was closing, and the staff was trying to get out of there but the young lady who was helping me answered all of my questions and was pleasant. It's a cute little bagel shop with outdoor sidewalk seating in front of the store and on the side. Also, the strawberry lemonade was soooo good and it had some sliced strawberries in it, which was an added bonus!!!

Plain bagel with plain cream cheese and lox
Julia S.

Delicious bagels, easy "in and out" casual atmosphere, quick service and pretty accessible location. Definitely worth checking out and grabbing a bagel during the weekend... or week day! We will be back! Thank you.

the amount of cream cheese i took out of my "extra light cream cheese" bagel
Lucy L.

Bagels had great texture but for some reason, it was so greasy? I ordered a lox sandwich and asked for extra light cream cheese and there was an absurd amount of cream cheese, like they put extra cream cheese. The only thing that was "extra light" was the amount of lox and other toppings.

Sesame w/ scallion cream cheese
Yuri J.

A bagel stop before the LA marathon. Super quick service and line out the door! Every bagel looked scrumptious - went with a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and it was a perfect ratio of schmear to bread. Bagel is chewy, not too dense, and loaded with sesame seeds. Delicious and divine!

UPDATE the general manager messaged me first thing on Sunday morning which I consider to be extraordinary customer service. He was completely professional and really wanted to get to the bottom of what happened. Suffice to say that he appreciated the feedback and I do believe they will handle things different going forward. Review was one star which I will now change but I will leave the initial review below. Just in case anybody else experiences this. (Original review below) Kevin. I don't actually have to be present to pick up my too good to go order. That's why the app has this. You were insulting today and rude. Are you aware that this money goes to charity? And that it helps you guys avoid food wastage? Shame on you. Oh, the app does not allow screenshots with the confirmation code on it. I actually had to have some stranger take a picture for me so I could send it to my friend waiting while you were busy insulting her at your store.

Cinnamon raisin bagel
Emmie H.

This is a pretty good bagel stop but I just have to say right off the bat the drinks are not worth your time -- way overpriced and not as good as so many other places within just a couple feet of this place. I had a cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese and the bagel had an appropriate amount of cream cheese. It came out quickly and there were some places to sit outside. Overall, not the best bagel I've had but pretty solid. Drinks are average but also average $8 so I'd recommend a skip.

Chili crisp turkey sandwich
Sofia S.

I love Pops These guys are great, very friendly and full of energy! Today I got a delicious chili crisp turkey sandwich on a scooped sesame bagel! I will come back tomorrow for the sweet and spicy cucumber sandwich!

Egg and cheese? Not sure what type of cheese this is

Bagels w cream cheese good but no Vegetable Cream Cheese at a bagel shop, very odd. Egg and cheese looks off also. Not real cheese but cheesy wiz or something for like $15.

Pop's Bagels -- Keeping it short and sweet: this place is phenomenal. The food is amazing low key pricey, but honestly worth it. The staff is always friendly, and the Brentwood location is great. They also have a cute little outdoor patio, though every time I've been in the mornings it's been too cold to sit outside. Hopefully one of these summer days I'll finally get to enjoy breakfast out there. :)

Outside seating
Ashley P.

As a native NYer and growing up in NJ, these are some of the most comparable bagels to the east coast Ive ever had. Fresh, hot, fluffy, big, and they give you a decent cream cheese shmear. Especially since going GF, this place is top tier (at least for GF bagels!!)

not scooped Reuben
M M.

Visited two days in a row and got the same thing, the Reuben bagel sando. The staff was pleasant and Omar was outgoing in making me feel welcome both times, serving up a refreshing dialogue. Day 1: ordered it NOT Scooped - was absolutely thrilled - the sauce pairing is a spicy little aioli that hits. Day 2: Ordered regular, scooped, really amazing. I prefer not scooped to get an even bigger bagel sensation - but loved it again. 5 / 5 stars all around, community vibe fostered by staff sending out consistent products with personal touch.

Where's all the cream cheese
Tina L.

It's ok but the hype... hmm. I'm going to add a photo and you can tell me what you think about the bagel. The bagel hardly has any cream cheese. I'm not surprised because it is LA. Super dense and thicc. Needs way more inside goodness. Felt like I was eating dry bread. 2.5 stars and will not be back.

Pops Bagels!!

You order at a window and then wait either standing or can sit on the little wooden chairs and tables outdoor along the sidewalk. Very hipster neighborhood. No indoor seating area. Tried the simply delicious which was a lox, dill, olive oil drizzle and capers over the burnt everything. Honestly could tell the ingredients were fresh and sourcing was a high priority from farmers markets. The wait took a long time (20-30 mins) around noon on Friday with lots of tourists, so I can't even imagine how bad the wait is on weekends.

We take our number and go sit and wait at the small blue tables outside like most everyone else. Strike one was their being out of fresh made orange juice, something that should NEVER happen at a bagel purveyor... oh, and my coffee? Was only technically that. Seriously. It tasted more like tea to the point that I questioned whether or not they in fact got my order wrong and it was that. Flavorless. (2/10) I like my salmon bagel and the ratios were pretty on point with there being maybe just a tad too much cream cheese. For $20, this was what I expected and I appreciated the quality olive oil drizzled over the quality ingredients to keep it all moist. Loved the tomato and capers. It's a big meal and half of it went home for later. (8/10) My date's bagel was a nightmare though. Thick wedge of cream cheese on a barely toasted bagel, she had to wipe half of it off just to eat it. And as for this being a "hatch cream cheese?" Like calling my brown water broth 'coffee,' I'd suggest that it only technically met up to the definition: there were 2-3 little chunks of hatch chile. Seriously. Two or three. The white cream cheese hardly had any smell or taste of hatch chile. I know as I ate the other half she took home. Dispel any fantasy you might be harboring of that cool, greenish cream cheese with real chunks of smoked hatch chiles because that doesn't exist here. (2/10) So there you have it. For close to $40 when you factor in tax and tip? This was barely a 3 star bagel experience. Order with care and intention.
