I recently had a bad bagel experience when I got one from a farmer's market - so chewy it hurt my jaw... So I had to experience redemption. I looked up a local bagel shop and went to Uncle Stevey's! PERFECTION! I loved their bagel flavors - I ended up getting cheddar hot honey, chili garlic crunch and an everything bagel with a container of scallion cream cheese. I was in and out in two minutes tops! I went home to make some eggs, turkey bacon, avocado, and matcha to make a nice breakfast at home and it fully satisfied my craving. The everything bagel had a great amount of topping, the chili garlic crunch had a nice heat, and the cheddar hot honey was perfectly sweet with a cheesy crust. I would probably mainly get a half dozen to go again, but the shop had a great ambiance and I wouldn't mind eating there and taking a walk around the neighborhood. Parking was ample and really easy too! read more

Uncle Stevey's Bagels - Everything bagel, cheddar hot honey bagel, and scallion cream cheese! - Bagels Near Me - El Segundo, California

Came on a Saturday late morning and grabbed a street parking spot before hopping in. We ordered a chili garlic crisp bagel with scallion cream cheese and the Lew sandwich on a rosemary olive oil bagel. The chili garlic bagel paired so well and was toasted perfectly. The Lew was good as well but I'm sauce girl so hot sauce or additional cream cheese would have made this one shine even brighter. Ordered to go but they have some seating indoor and outdoor available. read more

The bagels at Uncle Stevey's Bagels are excellent! They have, as promised, a crispy exterior with a chewy interior. And the cream cheese is as creamy as I could ever want it to be. I ordered the Uncle Stevey sandwich with lox, cream cheese, pickled onion and dill on an everything bagel. The cream cheese portion was generous, and the pickled onion was tasty and balanced (not too pickled). The lox was on the thicker side, which I loved. And the dill added a nice herby freshness to the sandwich. I also tried the rosemary olive oil bagel, which was great! I like the unique flavors offered here. I can't wait to return to try more bagel and cream cheese flavors. The shop has a small counter to take orders, and a small glass case displaying the available bagels. Next to the pickup counter, there is a small seating area that seats less than 20 people total, and one restroom. There are rolls of paper towels on the tables to use as napkins. It is very casual and relaxed. I think the value is pretty good overall. Sandwiches are in the $12-16 range, and individual bagels are $3-4 with deals for 1/2 a dozen or a dozen +. Adding cream cheese to a single bagel is $3 which pushes the cost to the higher end, but you can also buy an 8 oz tub for $7 or $8 instead. It's great to have a solid bagel shop in the area, and I look forward to returning and trying more flavors! read more

I wanted to try a new bagel shop with different flavors, and uncle steveys bagels did not disappoint. This store is in an area that has super convenient street parking and even a parking lot across the street. There was a constant flow of traffic into the store so you know it's a local favorite. I opted to try the loroco and garlic onion bagels with cream cheese. I will say these bagels do cost a premium as these two bagels and cream cheese came out to $15.36, but they were top quality and when I say they don't cheat you on the cream cheese I am not exaggerating. I would likely only get one bagel with cream cheese next time and just split the cream cheese among 2-3 bagels instead. Loroco is their most unique, it has a baked blend of oaxaca and jack cheese with loroco flower buds and I really enjoyed it. The garlic onion was garlic forward and as a garlic lover I was very happy with the bagel. These bagels are chewy on the inside and have a slightly crispy bottom which is my preference for bagels. There were plenty of tables to sit at and enjoy your food, and the order came out pretty fast. Overall this shop has delicious and unique bagels you should check them out next time you have a hankering for a high quality bagel. read more

These are my favorite bagels in LA. The rosemary bagel is absolutely phenomenal and the hot honey bagel has a great balance of sweet and spice (get there early, it tends to sell out). read more

Neat bagels ever. Beautifully designed spot. My only 2 cents to owners is speed of service. Shouldn't take 7 minutes to get bagels should take like 3(not too busy) also I offered 4 bagels and asked for cream cheese and jam but they assumed I wanted them to make a sandwich with it and I got charged $26, which is ok but next time I'll just get the bagels read more

Stopped by here on a Monday morning. I purchased several bagels for my coworkers - rosemary, jalapeño, hot honey cheddar, and the everything bagel. I didnt get a picture of them all, but everyone enjoyed all the flavors. I had the everything bagel and it was delicious. The seasoning was on the top and the bottom of the bagel. The bagel was crisp on the outside and light on the inside. read more

I just had their Loroco bagel with cream cheese and it was DELICIOUS!! I was so surprised when I saw it as an option. I'm Salvadoran and we use Loroco in our foods so I never seen it in a bagel and it was good. I will definitely be back and get this every time. Highly recommend. A lil taste of my heritage read more

Uncle Stevey's is hands down my favorite bagel spot in all of LA--and I've been to most of them. There's just something about their texture and flavor that makes them stand out. They have a great variety of bagels, all fresh and perfectly chewy. Bagel & Cream Cheese ($6): I usually go with the rosemary olive oil bagel paired with their scallion cream cheese, toasted extra dark--it's a must-try combo. The bagels have that perfect crisp exterior with a soft, chewy center, and the cream cheese is rich and flavorful. Service & Atmosphere: The service is always quick and friendly, and sometimes the owner is there helping out, which adds a nice personal touch. The shop itself isn't very big, but there are a few tables if you want to sit and enjoy your food. They even have complimentary tea and coffee, which is a great bonus. Overall, Uncle Stevey's delivers on quality, service, and charm--easily the best bagel spot in LA. read more

Uncle Stevey's Bagels - Rosemary Olive Oil Bagel With Scallion Cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - El Segundo, California

After *finally* trying Uncle Stevey's Bagels yesterday, I'll say their bagels are pretty solid... but maybe ever so slightly overhyped. I ordered two bagels and preferred the jalapeño bagel over the rosemary olive oil one. The outside of the bagel had a perfectly chewy texture while the inside was a little dense for my liking. The rosemary olive oil bagel was coated in oil, which I didn't love. I wish the rosemary was infused into the batter rather than just coating (which fell off). I would come back, but I'm not rushing back. read more

Soooooo delicious, all of the bagels are delectable. I will think about this bagel every day of my life.

This place has been on my list for like a year now. So happy I got a TikTok reminding me to come visit. The space is really cool. The bagels taste so fresh. I got a breakfast sandwich and it was really good. I'd recommend you stop by if you're in the area. read more

Big flavor and nice chewy bagels here. This is not your average bagel joint: Berbere bagel with scallion cream cheese - massive spice bomb, warming and chewy and spicy and all that you want from a spicy bagel. Loved it. Jalapeño bagel (no cream cheese) - this was flatter but also chewy. Again with the big flavor, jalapeño spice and fruitiness all there but not over the top. Don't miss this joint if this sounds even vaguely tempting. read more

Stopped by Uncle Stevey's Bagels in El Segundo after hearing good things. The bagels have that nice East Coast-style texture -- crispy outside, chewy inside, and really fresh. I tried a few things: the Uncle Stevey (lox) sandwich, the Lew (bacon & egg), the Marion (avocado & crumbled egg), plus a few bagels on their own -- cheddar hot honey, onion garlic, and rosemary olive oil. My favorites were the lox, the Lew, and the cheddar hot honey bagel. The place has a quiet, chill vibe with a good amount of tables to sit. Staff was nice, service was quick, and everything came out fresh. Overall, a solid local bagel spot -- definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Very okay bagels yet surprisingly expensive. You know if they ask you if you want your bagel toasted they're usually not freshly made

I was so excited to try this place and maybe I just didn't order right. I got an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. It took them 10 mins to get my order and 4 people working. It was middle of the day and no other customers in the store. The bagel was overly salted and cold even though I had a bite right as I walked out of the store. I ended up throwing most of it away. The hype wasn't real!! So sad!! read more

New Yorkers take their bagels seriously, and it seems Uncle Stevey is up to those high standards. Just the Plain bagel is perfection, with an almost-crispy crust and a chewy crumb. The Rosemary Olive Oil is probably my favorite of the bunch I tried. The herb is deeply fragrant, and the oil gives the crust some extra crisp. Other fun flavors include a Cheddar Hot Honey and the classic Everything bagel. The biagels are more like bialys, which are also really fun. The Jalapeno leaves a lingering burn, and the Onion Garlic comes covered with caramelized onion. Perfect bagels require no adornments, but the Uncle Stevey Sandwich is a delicious classic if you love lox like me. And then there are the Babkas. The plain one has a nice simplicity to it, and the one with banana is softer in texture, just depends on what you prefer. It's not far, and there's plenty of parking on random weekdays, but boy, do I wish I worked within walking distance. I'd stop by Uncle Stevey's every morning to get something with my coffee. read more

Bagels are great travel all around SoCal for work and put this shop on the top 3. You pay a bit more but you get a solid bagel the jalapeño is super good plus they don't throw a ton of butter on the bagels when you get toasted. read more

I've had Uncle Stevey's bookmarked, and finally was able to go. I went on a Friday morning around 9:30, fully expecting to have to wait in a 30+ minute line.. to my shock, it was empty! Parked right in front and walked straight into the store to the register. I got 3 bagels- an everything w/ scallion cream cheese, a Marion on sesame (the avocado spread w/ crumbled hard-boiled egg on top), and my 3rd bagel was pretty much a BLT w/ the avocado spread on a garlic onion bagel (can't remember the exact name of it). The bagels were good, but to be honest nothing SUPER special. If I had to wait, I would have been disappointed.. they were just fine. I prefer NY bagels.. I thought that's what these would be :( Anyways, if you want to check them out for yourself, maybe go when I went- Friday, 9:30am.. parking is easy, the space is perfectly nice, and the staff is warm and friendly. I don't know, it's sick season and maybe my taste buds are just off! read more

Awesome, fresh tasting bagels. I had an extra toasted everything bagel with cream cheese. Love the sharp, clean cafe. The only downside is it's 1/2 hour away from me but 100% worth the drive. I look forward to coming back and trying their other bagel flavors. It'll be hard to fall back to my local bagel chain places now. read more

i got the cheddar hot honey bagel with scallion cream cheese. easily one of the best bagels I have ever had. Service was great and quick. Clean restaurant! read more

$35 for two bagel sandwiches and one bagel and cream cheese is a definite premium ask. Especially when you have to wait 30 minutes in line before even ordering. That said, it's what you need to expect at Uncle Stevey's. The staff are definitely hustling to keep up with the demand, and they do a pretty solid job. But what you're paying for is the quality of the food. The cheddar and hot honey bagel is magical. It's crispy on the outside, cheesy and a little greasy, but a little sweet and sticky to combat the savory flavors. It just works. Whether it's the bagel with just cream cheese, or in a sandwich, it just works. My wife said that the sesame seed bagel was good, but she preferred the cheddar and hot honey bagel as well. She wants to try the rosemary and olive oil sometime. She also mentioned that she was very impressed that the sesame seeds remained well adhered to the bagel, not falling off all over the place like one usually experiences. The bagel game is strong here. Is it worth the wait? Probably somewhat subjective. Is it worth the cost? Also subjective, but to us... Yes to both. read more

I left with mixed emotions. First of all, the bagels are some of the best I've ever eaten. But everything can get very pricey. They charge for extras on the sandwiches, but you get very little. It's very hard to hear when ordering. I asked for iced tea & didn't realize they didn't have brewed tea until I got around the corner. They do have bottled tea. The staff was nice & knowledgeable except on the iced tea. They need seating outside so we can enjoy the nice weather. It got crowded inside when I was there. The tables are big & awkward. Even though the parking isn't as good, I'd much rather eat bagels at Southwest Bread on Main Street. read more

These bagels are fantastic! When you enter the door you're greeted with a well lit small space with fresh bagels in the display. I ordered a basic bagel with chive cream cheese. The service was a bit slow but worth the wait as a bagel with an entire puck of cream cheese was delivered into my hands. The bagel was crisp (a little too crisp) with the perfect amount of fluffiness in the inside. The cream cheese was delectable and creamy and the hit of chives really added to the flavor. They offer a variety of special bagels and cream cheese flavors to keep things fresh and exciting. read more

Visited here on a Sunday morning and it was rather disappointing. They were out of stock of a lot of items on the menu that I wanted to try, same with other customers. When ordering our breakfast sandwich, the worker told us we couldn't order it with the Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel even though she told us it was possible. Everything here is premade, it wasn't busy, and a total of 6 workers...yet there was a long wait. All we ordered was a Breakfast Sandwich, Plain Bagel, and Everything Bagel w/ Cream Cheese. The Breakfast Sandwich came out steaming hot which makes me think it was microwaved. We ordered it on a Cheddar Hot Honey Bagel (since we couldn't order Jalapeno Cheddar) but the Honey was no where to be found. The Everything Bagel was sad, more like a sesame bagel. It didn't have onion or garlic flavors and was more only for texture of the seeds, there was absolutely no flavor. Overall the Bagels were hard and dry, I can get better bagels from the grocery store. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Uncle Stevey's Bagels - Everything Bagel w/ Cream Cheese (ig: @cravingswithcat) - Bagels Near Me - El Segundo, California

The garlic and onion bagel is delicious. They can be heavy with the cream cheese (my preference) so ask for it on the side or a light spread. Yes it can get pricey and maybe you do have to wait x amount of time. If you want quick and cheap, just go somewhere else like Noah's. The unique flavors keep us coming back. Rosemary olive oil and loroco are also great. read more

Double check your order. When I was handed my bagel, I asked if it had the ingredients that I had ordered. The person who handed it to me said yes. I opened it up. It was missing the ingredients I ordered. The bagel is fine. I ordered the herb cream cheese. It was very watery. I'd rather drive into the city and get a decent bagel, made by people who care about doing things right. On the bright side, there was no line at 9 AM on a Saturday morning so at least I didn't have to wait for incompetence. read more

Uncle Steve's Bagels is a total gem. We recently placed an order for our office, and the owners generously gave it to us for free since it was our first time--such a kind gesture! The bagels were perfectly chewy, crispy on the outside, and full of flavor. Office favorites included the egg (soft and rich), blueberry (fruity but not too sweet), loroco (a delicious Salvadoran twist), and all the savory options--especially jalapeño cheddar and everything. Always fresh, always delicious, and the staff is as warm as the bagels. Safe to say we'll be starting a monthly office order. Don't miss this spot! read more

Woke up early on a weekday to try this place due to its stellar reviews. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We ordered a breakfast sandwich bagel. The bacon was undercooked and the egg looked like a cheap egg patty. The onion bagel tasted oily. Sadly, we had to toss our $17 breakfast. A lot of the other bagels looked good, but we wouldn't recommend getting a breakfast sandwich. A bagel with spread might be the way to go! read more

Saw this place on social media recently, looked similar to Layla and courage but located in the South Bay so had to check it out. The place itself is very modern looking, clean and the staff were really nice. I heard this place can get pretty busy and sell out fast but I had no issues, went in at 11am and there were still plenty of bagels. Tried the lox on jalapeño and was no disappointed, really flavorful and the salmon tasted fresh. If this place has short lines regularly I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I honestly never write bad reviews but the guy working today needs to do better. I was the only one in line. I asked politely for light cream cheese and I got the complete opposite. The guy put enough cream cheese for a dozen bagels. I just ask you please listen to the customers request. Thanks read more

Uncle Stevey's never let me down, been here a few times for their great bagel selection on top of great sandwiches. If you are looking for a lox bagel look no further perfect amount of salmon, pickled onion, cream cheese and perfect texture on the bagel. Great and friendly staff, offers great suggestions and pairings. Small business vibe and incredibly friendly. Clean and great ambiance to boot. Perfect place to end up in the morning and afternoon. Highly recommend read more

We live in El Segundo so we were very excited to see a bagel place within walking distance of home. Who wouldn't like to wake up on a weekend morning, take a short walk in town and pick up a warm bagel with cream cheese? I know I would. They recently opened so I think they are still working out the kinks (like one of the doors to the place was somehow already broken and only opened a quarter of the way). As I'd read in other reviews, the bagel are small than many competitors. I was also surprised they didn't have any blueberry bagels (I was there early so I'm just assuming they are not on the current menu). I just got a plain bagel and cream cheese. For me, it was slightly overdone, a bit more crunchy that I was expecting. However the texture and flavor was very good. I was also lucky that there were only two people in front of me in line. I've seen the line out the door when driving by on other occasions. Also note that I've seen sold out signs posted later in the day so get there early if you have a particular bagel in mind. Chances are I'll try it again but prefer Noah's plain to theirs at this point. We'll see how things progress as they work towards growing the business. Hope you are able to get the bagel of your liking and...enjoy!!! read more

So this place truly enhances the SoCal bagel scene in a very meaningful way. We recently tried this spot out and really enjoyed the everything bagels and the special garlic onion situation that they had available. All I can say is that we ate these on the heels of a trip to NYC and they 100% held their own. Now I no longer have to wait for my annual east coast pilgrimage to get my H&H fix. Go check this spot out ASAP. Plus the staff is super friendly read more

This is the real deal, folks: authentic NY style bagels created with care and very good. The everything bagel is packed with lots of flavor, the scallion cream cheese adds a nice texture, and they're toasted beautifully. You may need to get there early as they can sell out. The staff is very personable, friendly. The locally owned coffee gets an A+, too. Check it out! read more

This might be the cleanest food place i've ever been to! All of the appliances and coffee bar items all seem right out of the box. No finger prints or stains all! I got the Sol on a hot honey and cheese bagel and my girlfriend got the Lot on the olive oil and rosemary bagel. The Sol was absolutely delicious. I was so impressed! Being from LA and having tried so many different bagel places, Stevey's was a fresh take on something that is so overdone. They have a lot of unique bagel flavors that just make sense. Nothing too crazy. I would say though, the egg on the Lot seems like it can be improved. It was kind of streamed in a mold so it felt processed although I'm assuming it's not. I think if they improved the recipe for the egg, then I wouldn't have any other critiques! Will definitely be coming back for more bagels! read more

Great cold brew and great bagels, this is hands down the best bagel shop in the South Bay.

Love their cheddar hot honey bagel but have had issues 2x with my order here. After ordering the first time for takeout, I unwrapped my toasted bagel and cc to find that the bagel was warmed not toasted, not crunchy at all and the cc had melted allllll over the bagel wrapped in paper. It was a mess. I ended up scraping the cc off and retoasting the bagel at home. Second time we ate in and even asked for extra toasted bagel and same issue. They also don't slice the bagel down the middle so you are left to using a flimsy plastic knife to make it edible -- the drippy cc was an issue again. Coffee is good but would be nice to have espresso options. Overall pretty expensive for this experience. They're still on the new side so I hope they can work a few kinks out. Otherwise fast service and clean facility. read more
