The Bagel Factory

Very good bagel! Have been comparing bagels around town and this is one of the best real bagels around (not bread rolls disguised as bagels). Slight crisp/crunch exterior from the boiling, good density and chewiness, slightly sweet dough flavor. Quick service, even with 3 people ahead of me with pretty complicated and long orders, and good price. Will definitely return!

Made fresh daily, the bagels here are incredible! The homemade cream cheese is so good and the breakfast sandwich was really, really good. The staff was also so efficient, and even though we ordered a relatively larger order, it only took a few minutes for us to get our food.

This is it! The Mother Load of all that's bagels. Kosher, Western, Breckfast style, PB&J, any style you want this is the place to get them and they don't get any fresher than here at Western Bagel Factory on Sepulveda in the good old SFV. Come in. Open 24/7

The bagels are all delicious, and the rainbow bagels are quite a sight. The service is good, and they even have a mini fridge on the customer counter so you can select and pour your own [non-]dairy liquid into your coffee. The bags of day-old bagels are a steal.

I ordered a raisin bagel. The one thing you cannot find is an actual raisin…. Hadn’t been here in a while b/c I saw the raisins were becoming fewer and fewer. Now there are none. Shameful.

I've been going to the Bagel Factory for 50 years and love their bagels. Today, after waiting 5 minutes while the staff did nothing, I watched as the head lady wiped her nose with her sleeve and the proceeded to prepare a bagel. Disgusting. I won't be back.

Great bagels, gotta grab a bag of day olds whenever I stop by. Reiterating other reviews: these are real bagels, not just the bread rolls we’re typically stuck with on the west coast. Highly recommended!

Disclaimer: As a jew who just moved here after living in NYC for 10 years, my bagel standards may be higher than most. The bagels here (i had WholeWheat ET & Blueberry) are fine, but inferior to most shops back home. They have a bit grittier, drier feel. Maybe the water? Also be aware these guys are fully kosher, and do not serve meat - no BEC here! The only cheese they have for your egg & cheese is mozzarella. They do have all sorts of smoked fish and schmear (cream cheese) I would be back to try their tuna on a bagel, and the pizza bagel looked interesting as well. Otherwise, if you are seeking quality NYC-style bagels, i would keep searching.

I made a quick stop here before accompanying the hubby to his dental appointment. We shared the most delicious garlic - onion bagel with cream cheese. It was perfectly toasty and not overwhelming smeared with cream cheese. And of course, I had to pick up a couple of freshly baked rainbow bagels for my lil one. The ladies working were so friendly & helpful. As this was my first visit here, she gave me lots of suggestions and recommendations. Thank you for that and the speedy service. The dining area was so clean and inviting looking. Had it not been for the dental appointment, I would've enjoyed my bagel there. Next time I want to try their egg salad. Yum! Thank you again. My little monster is excited about the rainbow bagels I brought home.

Good bagels but the service by the two women at the counter was atrocious! I stopped by the morning before Yom Kippur to buy 18 bagels for break-the-fast and found them unfriendly and unhelpful. It wasn't even that busy. When a customer dared ask the price of an item, they angrily referred her to the menu on the wall. Another customer who was watching shared an appalled look with me and beat a hasty exit. Kudos to the young man who retrieved my phone order, offered me freezer bags and rang me up. He understands the meaning of customer service.

Good selection of bagels and sandwiches in a convenient location. I came here to grab a quick quick bite because I was running some errands in the area. The folks here were super quick and efficient. The place felt like a very small breakfast take away place. The energy was a little frenetic because I feel like this place gets a lot of traffic. I got the toasted everything bagel with lox cream cheese. It's exactly what I wanted and a great order where you could just take it and eat it in the car. Definitely a great spot to grab a bagel when you're in a pinch and are running around in the area. There's plenty of parking, but it could get a little busy at times because it does share a lot with a busy CVS pharmacy and a grocery store along with some other in-line eateries and a Starbucks.

Quick, easy and friendly service. Lots of options , I've seen this place for a while was busy on a Saturday morning but was still pretty quick everything was fresh and tasty!

I like this place. A simple establishment that prides itself with a good product in an unpretentious way. The bagels are very very good, the cream cheese is so creamy and if you're getting any of the morning glorious sandwiches you'll truly be satisfied. A nice, kind efficient staff makes the line move when it gets busy. Not a lot of seating availability but with plenty free parking, you can just tailgate it :)

The bagels are good they The customer service is horrible, the atmosphere is very heavy, just seeing the faces of the employees makes you want to run away from that place, they don't know how to treat customersThe place is dirty, not even the tables are clean. If you spill coffee, they are not capable of cleaning it. .

This is as close as I've come to experiencing NY style bagels in Los Angeles -- dense, golden and just the right amount of chewy.

First time here and I will be back ! Great variety of bagels and reasonably priced for my go to, the lox sandwich ! Even though only two people were working , the line moved swiftly - Bravo !

Fresh & yummy. The service is top notch. More cinnamon bites please lol. I go there every Saturday!

Now I fully admit as a NY-NJer, I am a bagel elitist. I am surprised this spot doesn't have 5 stars. If you don't want to fully read, the cliff notes are: a ton of options, California cheap, thick, plush bagels. Atmosphere: A The Bagel Factory is like almost any other bagel spot. It's got a small line with display cases of various bagels, a coffee station, and a menu on the wall. It's clean and bright, with a couple of seats outdoors and probably 15-20 seats indoors. Staff: A I had no idea what I wanted, but the staff was friendly, gave me a few recommendations, and was polite. The food also came out fast, literally, what more do you need? Food: A The Bagel Factory has a ton of options. They have your basic bagels, some fun options like garlic and onion, bagel sandwiches, and even salads, and soups. I noticed on the wall their soup of the day was split pea, which is my favorite. I ordered the nova lox sandwich on a garlic and onion bagel because I like my breath to smell terrible, I guess. Plus, a cup of their split pea soup. I was amazed at how big the bagel was. A problem with CA bagels is they are dinky. If I wanted regular bread, I would order a sandwich, but I want thick, plus bagels, darn it! That's not a problem with the Bagel Factory. It was STUFFED with smoked salmon, capers, cucumbers, lettuce, and tomato. It was so good. The soup was equally as good, and I'll order it every time. In all, my meal was 5/5 stars. Price: $ For my bagel and soup, it was $15, which is definitely on the cheaper side of California. I'm sure some areas would charge $25 for this combo.

LA's Bagel Factory - A Lifesaver Through Tough Times Rating: In the bustling city of Los Angeles, amidst the chaos of daily life, there exists a hidden gem that's more than just a bagel factory; it's a lifeline. This establishment has not only provided sustenance but has been a pillar of support during my toughest times. The first bite into one of their bagels is a revelation. The crisp exterior giving way to a soft, chewy interior is perfection itself. Whether I was facing a challenging day or seeking solace during difficult moments, the comforting embrace of these bagels never failed to uplift my spirits. What truly sets this bagel factory apart is not just the quality of their products, but the warmth of the people who run it. The staff greet you with genuine smiles, and their friendly service feels like a reassuring hug when you need it most. During those trying times, when life seemed uncertain, these bagels were a constant source of comfort. They provided sustenance when I needed it, and a taste of familiarity when everything else felt chaotic. The variety of flavors and spreads offered here is mind-boggling. From classic sesame seed to adventurous sun-dried tomato and jalapeño, they have something to cater to every craving. And their homemade cream cheese blends are nothing short of divine. In the grand tapestry of Los Angeles, this bagel factory is a thread of reliability and comfort that I'm immensely grateful for. It's not just a place to grab breakfast; it's a refuge where tough times melt away in the warm, toasty embrace of their bagels. In conclusion, LA's Bagel Factory is more than a place that serves bagels; it's a sanctuary that has seen me through my roughest days. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in need of a comforting bite or a reminder that even in the toughest times, there's a warm, delicious refuge waiting to embrace you.

Everyone was nice when we went in, and since it was our first time, there, we kept letting people go ahead of us. My wife and I are totally "baked goods" people, so we got... a few things... ;-) Bagels - All fresh, the everything are almost as garlic-y as the garlic bagels, themselves! All very tasty warm or from the toaster. Turnovers - Not gonna lie, we learned that putting turnovers in the air fryer for about 5 mins at 390 makes them even better. Bagel Factories fills their turnovers with a good portion of fruit and the air frying made them very light, crispy and delicious! Raisin Challa Bread - So, we're suckers for good Challa Breads.. This one didn't disappoint. Very light and fresh (everything there is, really) and tasty as we expected. Oatmeal Raisin cookies - Good. I admit I'm not a huge fan of the almond flavor, but they were still good. No stars off. :-D Quiche - We got one of each, the spinach mushroom and the jalapeno, pepper and tomato. The latter has the spice we like, but the former was good with a little sriracha added. The place looks very organized and clean (go figure ;-) ) and all of their baked goods are visible to peruse. Will definitely go back.

The service is fast. Once you have had a fresh bagel you can never go back to the bagels from the market. The staff is super friendly and fast. I love how they also sell day old bagels too for a good price !!! Even though they are a day old they still are delicious

Came here for the bagel sando and the rainbow bagels! So cool (and delicious!!). I highly recommend. If you come early parking isn't bad.

Bagels are tasty and service is friendly and fast. Definitely will stop here again to grab a quick bite to eat.

Yummy! I got a garlic bagel with a plain omelet & plain cream cheese. The bagel was super good! Not the best bagel I've ever had but definitely good enough for me to come back again :)

I don't know why I keep punishing myself by trusting this place. Maybe it's because it's nearby? But today, 2/13/2024, they closed at 1 pm. There was a handwritten note on the door saying, "Sorry for the inconvenience. We close at 1 pm today." I arrived at 1:02 pm. I asked if I could just purchase a bag of day olds that were sitting on the counter just to get my bagel fixed. The lady thought about it, but said no. I even offered just cash and no need for change, but she said no. Honestly, worst customer service and communication of business hours of any business I've encountered.

Every once in a while I stop at The Bagel Factory to treat myself to a delicious breakfast. I always get the Lox Sandwich (typically on a plain bagel) with all of the fixins. The lox is always fresh and the bagels are delicious. The sandwich as a whole is really filling and because of that the price point is satisfactory. The customer service is always great, event at 7am. The Bagel Factory has so many different types of bagels from garlic to onion to garlic onion to everything - and everything in between! They're family owned and operated and actually have three locations. The National and Sepulveda location was the first - woo. If you're looking for just one bagel or a bunch for whatever occasion, look no further than The Bagel Factory for some 5 star New York Style bagels.

What a shitty business. They added tips on my card after I left. Be careful. So sad my daughter loved their rainbow bagels but I won't give a penny for them anymore.

Good spot for bagels and really yummy cream cheese spreads. I had a toasted everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. It was a fine bagel, but I let it get cold so the texture wasn't what I expected. The exterior had a nice crunch and some slightly burnt areas that kinda threw my taste buds off a bit. Next time I'll order the bagel lightly toasted. The staff is friendly and efficient, helping move the line of hungry patrons quickly.

Me and my lovely beautiful friend Josh were coming back home from Long Beach and we found this gem! Oh my goodness I cannot describe the feeling as soon as I took my first bite! Maybe euphoria is the correct word. The service absolutely excellent might I add. I got a bagel omelette with like everything and it was the best bagel I have had I think, ever. I must come again I cannot fathom living my life without coming back:) 10/10

Check your order. While the bagels and food are good, the service is the worst. They constantly get the orders wrong or leave out food that you paid for out. I asked and paid for a white fish sandwich and they made a wrong sandwich. Last time they forgot to put in the soup. The staff is rude and constantly ignore customers. They talk amongst themselves instead of concentrating on working. There needs to be better oversite.

I used an app to order my food that automatically sent it to the other store and they honored it anyway and sped it up to help me out. These people are genuine. They work hard and can't say enough good.

The best bagels in LA! Every time I serve them for groups I always get asked where I buy my bagels. A great local spot!

Spontaneously grabbed a bagel here while I was in the area and saw that they had vegan cream cheese. They had two options of vegan CC, plain and scallion (both were tofu based). I'm really glad that they had the option but the vegan CC had a bit of an off taste compared to other places or my favorite Kite Hill. Good choice of bagels and generous with the toppings - I got a Jalapeño bagel with vegan scallion schmear, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, capers, and salt and pepper. The employee that helped us was a bit frazzled and asked us to repeat our order multiple times, even though we were just getting two sandwiches.

This is my new go-to bagel place in the city. The staff is friendly and the selection is vast. I love the cream cheese and the coffee is also very good. Prices are very reasonable and parking is easy. There is usually a little line but they go through it very fast. Highly recommend and I'm usually there once a week for my fix. Solid Bagel and cream cheese and this is an opinion from a guy that used to live in NY. High standards.

They were out of a few bagels by 10am, but the service was good. I had a great conversation with a stranger about New Order and Petshop Boys. LOL! The bagels were excellent. Garish outside and soft in the middle. Tried onion, jalapeño, and sesame. Their cream cheese was good, especially the chive cream cheese. We love Bagel Broker in Beverly but recently move closer to this place. We'll be frequent customers. If you love great bagels, try this place.

Anyone who's come back to LA after months of travel in Asia knows that consistency and familiar taste are exactly what you're looking for. I hit up The Bagel Factory on my way back from the airport for breakfast and got exactly what I needed, a fresh but toasted bagel with a generous smearing of cream cheese and fresh vegetable toppings.

This is my family's go to bagel spot. It gets very busy on weekend mornings but they move the line pretty fast. They have a very good variety of fresh baked bagels and different flavors and sizes of cream cheese. They have a spectacular strawberry cream Cheese! They offer coffee and sandwiches too. There's a small eating area but I've never sat inside, no outdoor seating. I think it's a good takeout place.

The bagels are decent but the cream cheese is WAY too watery and not very flavorful....

I think this is the best bagel sandwich I've ever had...!!! Takes my back to Israel!! Bagel Sandwich

Won't be going back $2.00 for this cream cheese! This a is a f------ salsa container! I probably should of asked for cream cheese on it already. I'll make sure I scrape up every last bit of it to get my $2.00 worth.

I go here all the time as the bagels are good and it's close by. Unfortunately the staff are disinterested and unfriendly. I can deal with that- but every single time we go after 10am (but before noon) they are out of many bagel varieties with no restock planned. mind you they claim to be open until 3pm. Calling the place to reserve in advance is futile- rarely do they answer. What decent bagel place runs out of egg and/or raisin bagels with 4-5 hours left of service? They have zero idea how to run this place and focus on customer service.

My go to place for a bissel taste of NY! Usually, I order the lox sandwich with capers on the side; and a Snapple. :)

As a native NYer I know bagels, I always find their bagels consistently delicious with the right texture and bite.

They only gave half my order!!!! No time to go back, they suck.... Never going here again

Your local bagel shop. Been going for years. Bagels are always fresh and the jalapeño cream cheese is awesome. Give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed..

I'm from NJ, where bagels grow naturally on trees. This morning place is the next best bagel to the ones that come from the motherland. Better than the NY Deli up the street on National in my opinion. Rainbow bagels are

It was WONDERFUL! Driving back from the airport. I looked online to find someplace nearby where we were driving. This is now my permanent stop each time we go or come back from the airport. In fact, when we're in that area I will stop by.

Not really getting the 1 and 2 star reviews . I had a nice experience and pretty good bagel from here . I ordered the jalapeño bagel with regular cream cheese . The bagel wasn't out of this world - but compared to other sad bagels I have had in LA - it was the best so far . The bagel had the right ratio of cream cheese to bagel for me and they had a drink section so I could grab a beverage to go . Thw kitchen is open so there isn't much to hide and I thought the two employees worked well together to take orders , prepare bagels , and ring up customers . Also a plus the bagel shop is right next door to a Starbucks if you like their coffee and the shop itself was sanitary and clean at 8 am .

Bagel was great. Iced Coffee was horrible. It tasted like sink water and was almost $5. Get a bagel but scratch the coffee

Very inconsistent. There have been times I've gotten pretty good bagels here, and other times when they've been stale and flavorless. I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt, but yesterday I got a sesame bagel with lox spread that had so little flavor I thought maybe I was coming down with Covid and was losing my sense of taste. Seriously. My husband took a bite and confirmed that it was not me, it was the bagel. I've finally had enough bad experiences that I sadly must find a new neighborhood bagel shop.

Had to go to cvs in the ungodly hour of 5:45am. Saw that the bagel factory was opened and this lovely worker lady made me the best tuna salads sandwiches. Unfortunately their payment system doesn't have a tip option. I would have given her a big tip if I had cash. Please get a machine with a tip option so we can show our appreciation for your lovely workers. They are doing a great job!

This is our favorite spot for bagels and they deliver each time. Great menu, best bagels, and hands-down best vegan cream cheese I've had -- my coworkers LOVE when I bring bagels from this place, and always ask me to bring extra vegan cream cheese. Also, their bagels have no "bottoms"! Fantastic lox and veggie sandwich, my go-to is the hummus and veggie sandwich on an everything bagel. My kids love a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese (who doesn't?!). Can get pretty crowded on weekend mornings, but we think it's worth the wait. It closed for several weeks due to someone driving through their wall (!!!), but are now reopened with some newer finishings. I'm so glad because I was worried I'd have to find another bagel shop that wasn't as good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Definitely one of the best bagels in LA. Good price, efficient service annnnnnnd VEGAN cream cheese. This place is straightforward without all the pampering of the modern hype. Simple and well done! No gentrified not long lines. Ps. I brought my own pickles onions with jalapeños. Just because I always bring my own slice almost everywhere. Plus. There's plenty easy parking

The best bagels, the best challah, the best shmeers, the best giant cookies, etc. you are going to find anywhere in Los Angeles. Maybe the best bagels in the entire country. The place isn't fancy, the coffee is ok (go next door to Starbucks) and that's just the way it is. You're not there for the ambiance. Dude, it all about the bagels. You get a great deal and go about your business. Extra bonus? It's kosher enough for even your most orthodox-ish friends and family. This place is the best. No. Really. The best.

The Bagel Factory has been a West LA neighborhood staple for as long as I can remember. They're not NY-level, but still delicious and certainly a step up from the grocery store packages. We love to grab a half dozen or so on weekends w/ a tub of their cream cheese and enjoy them at home! Favorite Bagel Options: Jalapeno, Egg, Potato, Sesame, Onion, Everything Favorite Cream Cheese Options: Garden Vegetable, Chive

I'm a fan. Fresh bagels are Very Good. Authentic Boiled & Baked. The have an excellent selection of varieties. I love the Everything. The new(er) Pretzel bagel is a win. Blueberry, Choc Chip, Salt, all the standards. I buy fresh bagels, but prefer Day Olds for value. They toast up fine at home the 2nd day. I finally found the DO Nirvana, by coming in at closing time when they are packing them in bags by the dozen. They will let you choose your day olds, so you can avoid the Whole Wheat Everything or Sun Dried Tomato I'm not a huge fan of their cream cheese. Not bad, not special. They don't (didn't?) have a chive, green onion spread in Regular, only low cal. Service is inconsistent. Sometimes, the line moves with plenty of help. Your time will depend on Egg orders or full service toast and smear. Mornings are busy obviously, but we also have places to be. The People are generally great, consistent and do their best. This shopping mall, specially on the bagel side is busy, crowded, but usually plenty of parking.

Just on the phone giving our order (yes a little complicated and a little long). At the end, as the gentleman was confirming the details, he gets flustered and says they're too busy and to just come in an order. Wasted both our times. Guess they're too good for our business now (even though we've been coming for years for the good quality food).
