Excellent friendly service I met Manny and some of the other guys and they are always so kind! Their bagels are next level. My absolute fave in la right now. I love coming here atleast once a week but would come more if I could. The turkey sandwich on your choice of bagel is amazing, so fresh read more

We live down the street and have been coming here for 15 years.... I don't what it is, but these guys just can't get it right. We ask for well done and we get the bagels home and they are hardly toasted. More often than not, we have to go back to the restaurant and ask them to re toast it and usually I am given an attitude. This morning the same thing happened and this time they re-toasted a bagel that we had already bitten into. I have to believe this is a health violation. Moral of the story, the guys just don't seem to give a damn about the quality or customer service. It's so frustrating. read more

Sam's on Sunset - Turkey jalapeño cream cheese and jalapeño cheese bagel - Bagels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A client of mine recommended Sam's on Sunset as a place to get a good bagel and egg sandwich. I do have a good working relationship with my client, however, with all due respect, my bagel sandwich palate is out of his league. Sam's is a small little shop on busy Sunset and Fairfax (adjacent to the Bristol Farms). No parking lot, very minimal street parking, no frills, no fuss, no flavor. The selection of bagels is average, with less than a dozen options at any given time. The prices are decent, with bagels running a bit under $2 each, and the breakfast bagel sandwiches between $5-8 depending on toppings. On this midweek occasion, I stopped by around 11am and there was nobody inside, including the staff. Finally, after tentatively asking, "Hello?" a gentleman came to the counter to help me didn't that didn't speak English. I asked for an Egg and Cheese Bagel Sandwich (on an Egg Bagel) and he kept insisting I just wanted an Egg Bagel. After several attempts, I had to use my not-so-fluent Spanglish to translate my order. Needless to say, after a few minutes of back and forth, I eventually got what I ordered (or so I thought). While I was waiting on the side countertop for my order, another customer came in and by that time, another employee (who spoke English) came from the back and helped him with his order. A few minutes later, the employee that took my order rudely shouted "Bagel," in my direction and shoved a small paper bag in my direction. I opened the bag and undid the sandwich lining to find a Bagel Sandwich. The egg and cheese were hot, however, the bagel was not. It was not even toasted. Literally taken from the front counter basket, cut and served. The bagel was completely dry and had no type of condiment (butter?) on it to help with the flavor at all. It was, as advertised, a $5.95 Egg and Cheese Bagel. Nothing more, and lots less. Sure, the egg and Cheddar Cheese were tasty, but with a dry bagel vessel, this sandwich experience was sunk from the beginning. Not sure what the other bagels are like, but I'm willing to bet that "Average" is about the highest marks one can expect from good ol' Sam's on Sunset. Given LA's incredible food scene, you just have to scour the Yelp reviews and ask your bagel-loving foodie friends where to score a great bagel with a great attitude and they can point you in many different directions beyond Sunset. read more

Pro-tip: parking is tricky. Anti-gridlock on sunset from 7-9! Am, so park on the side street. If you want to take a small risk park at the Bristol farms. Yes, you're unauthorized , but there's like a 99 chance nothing will happen as the lot is empty mostly -- especially in the morning. Highly recommend their everything bagel and cream cheese. Their best Bag by far. When you need it the most, Sam is consistent to get your American Morning a jumpstart with a cup of Joe and a New York, LA bagel . I've spent many a mornings at 6:00 am to snag an everything bagel and cream cheese. Everything bagel is everything you need. The seasoning is extremely pronounced and slightly bitter when the crust toasts. Some might find that off-putting, but that's the way ya I like it. Bagel and cream cheese under $5. read more

No matter what I know that I can be able to grab a bagel and locks here and it will hit every time, but the food is always fresh, which is important for fish and overflowing, which is important to my budget. Their seating in the back which is cool but I usually just take it to go since the seating is also the Bristol Farms parking lot. Services is super friendly and fast. read more

Sam's on Sunset - Bagel and Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Fresh back from a week in New York City, I needed to know what LA spot had the best bagel. I got some friends together, all of whom visit NYC often and one who is actually from NYC. We are tough critics. We tried Hank's, Sam's, and Belle's, some with cream cheese and others with eggs, sausage, and cheese. You know, for science. We picked up from all three spots. Hank's had a very easy ordering process - I just placed my order online and popped in to pick up. Sam's was the same. Belle's required standing in line and placing an order in person (demerits!). Our finds on the best bagel: Belle's for everything bagel Sam's for onion bagel Sam's for salt bagel Hank's for cinnamon raisin Hank's and Belle's both had great sesame bagels Based on this, I'm actually a little surprised that Sam's doesn't have a higher score overall on Yelp, but if you're looking for an onion bagel or a salt bagel, know that Sam's is your spot! There was just no contest. The others didn't even come close. Sam's was the hands-down winner for an onion bagel, and it's ruined me for others. read more

Sam's on Sunset - Patio area - Bagels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very Nice people, good service, pretty damn good bagels, dirty walls. Patio in back is nice but everything feels kinda grubby .

Sam's has really upped their game in the past few months. The bagels are soft on the inside and no longer taste like they are a day old. I personally love a plain bagel with hummus! Not sure if they make their hummus in house, but if they do, it's smooth and creamy. Their bagel sandwiches are great for an on-the-go breakfast. Each time my husband and I have gone there, the staff has been attentive and work extremely well together. It makes the difference when the staff diligently handles what seems to be a never ending line in the shop! I don't think I've waited more than 10 minutes from being in line to being handed my prepared bagels. Thanks again! read more

Great pricing for some delicious bagels right off the fairfax and sunset. Tried the breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese and was delighted for how tasty it was. Will be coming back! read more

Been stopping through Sam's for bagel-fixes for yearsssss! Love the quality and freshness of the ingredients here, the Everything Bagel being my fave with the Onion Bagel a close second and what I get when they run out of the Everything. I usually get it toasted well with salmon shmear which, for all of $5, suits me as I'm usually on the go. But sometimes I splurge the $12 for the real deal salmon sando with tomatoes and red onions and capers-- the fish is always fresh and soft, the flavors always what you want from such a classic pairing of ingredients-- good lox should always be like it is at Sam's and it's often not at other places. The service at this Sam's is always terrific and the team genuinely seem to be happy and like working together which is nice to see. It all adds to the overall experience here which is a fun one. The place isn't much by way of design, rather industrial and functional in nature, really just a glass counter display of bagels to go but they do have a nice patio out back they added on a decade or so ago that many are unaware of... it's a pleasant enough place to enjoy your newspaper or book, bagels and coffee (which is just so so but affordable). read more

best bagels in los angeles. don't sleep on the back patio- it's amazing. sam's bagels forever!!!

Best bagels in LA. Pricing is actually fair for the quality you get. I phone order BEC all the time for breakfast and its always ready when pulling up under 7 minutes later. The guys here clearly work hard, and there's a closed off patio in the back if you want to drink your coffee while there. read more

Best Bagels in West Hollywood! I am a regular that comes in once a week and wanted to start off by saying I come here for the amazing fresh bagels and creme cheese, not the interactions with workers. However, I love the women at the front I don't need some lovely dovey interaction. The comments about her are not okay, she is a very nice women just isn't talkative with pointless conversation. The mini bagels are a must! They don't even need any creme cheese or toasting, I snack on them when I walk home. Absolutely the perfect size. The other bagels that I think are wonderful are the egg bagel and everything bagel. Don't forget to grab a fresh orange juice which is out of this world delicious and the cream cheese is great both veggie and plain. Luckily I live walking distance and come very often but I know when I eventually move away from West Hollywood this is going to be a bagel spot that I crave!! If you are ever in town definitely give them a try. 5/5 read more

I'd come back to buy a bagel only to prepare at home, NOT for their sandwiches. Got the BLT bagel, but they add mustard to and is not a listed ingredient (at least on DoorDash pickup). Waaaay too much mayo and mustard and the bagel isn't toasted. Couldn't make a requests either so it came as it did. Bagel for being untoasted and soaked was still good. Bacon wasn't crispy, and the lettuce wilted (or soaked?) hard to tell. Such a bummer because I could tell under it all the taste of the bagel was delicious and fluffy. People working there super nice ! Tint spot with no place to eat there, definitely a pick up and leave joint. read more

Ordered delivery from this place for the first time and we were eating our bagels as sandwiches when one of us opened it up and saw mold on the cream cheese. We all got the same thing so we knew none of us could eat them as the cream cheese of course came from the same spot. Hoping we didn't eat enough that we will get sick. I never will go here or order from here again. read more

Okay! I love to be proven wrong. This place is much more consistent, speedy and overall customer service! Bravo!

I live close by to this bagel shop and I finally dropped in over the weekend. I bought two Everything bagels with the intent of making bagel sandwiches at home. First off - I know that the POS systems in place now are kinda standard and so are asking for tips. So I'm sorry if I refuse to tip on basically buying two bagels whole. More importantly, in my opinion, these bagels were super doughy and kinda bland - even with the everything bagel seasoning on them. Maybe I'll try a different flavor next time, but I was kinda underwhelmed, after two years of walking by this place all the time. I will say that the employee was friendly and helpful and the shop was no frills and approachable, and had a variety of flavors to choose from. read more

We were in search of bagel sandwiches that offered turkey bacon this morning and Sam's was our only option on Postmates. Well, we sure were lucky to find this spot because our order was really good! Order: Everything Bagel w/ Double Egg & Turkey Bacon - lots of egg like we hoped, tons of turkey bacon and the bagel was perfect. Sesame Bagel w/ Double Egg & Regular Bacon - same as the bagel above... delicious! We really liked that the bagels were on the bigger side since we were really hungry. They were also perfectly doughy! I would order from Sam's again without question. Thanks! read more
