Hank's Bagels

Finally tried this place. I was delighted to see a fun take on a bagel sandwich with greens and pickled peppers. Added a side of potato salad. The new number 2 bagel was a fun idea but falls fairly flat. The greens were not cooked all the way or with the right seasoning, they were tough and bitter- there was nothing about the sandwich that was sumptuous. (As someone who just had avocado toast with greens and pickled onions and from Mississippi, I know good greens) I’d suggest making a pickled pepper cream cheese and having that support the greens and also cook the greens correctly. The potato salad was crunchy. The only service I’ve received here is when they told me they were closed and to leave. I wouldn’t call it a deli of sorts by any means for ambiance.

Been here a number of times, often eating them at home when the GF brings them in on a quiet weekend morning. This time I came in person to pick up and online order. The atmosphere is busy and casual with good smells, families, dogs, and random folks queuing on the right side door. Pick ups can slip in on the left and one of the friendly staff will help right away. We got a few bagels with various cream cheeses and I got a lemonade as well. As always they where delicious, warm, chewy, and just a little firmness to the outside. They come heavily topped with your cream cheese of choice so be prepared to eat up some that spills out as you take bites. You get what you pay for, and they're not cheap, but not extortionate either. The higher cost clearly supports a big staff and great quality food. I'd recommend the lox cream cheese and any of the bagels, I think I usually get a plain salt bagel (maybe that's the one with a touch of rosemary?). Drinks have always been good too so stop in for a great breakfast or brunch.

Love this place! Great service, super friendly staff, and the bagels are incredible — we’ve tried a few different kinds and they’re all amazing. Nice outdoor seating too if you want to sit and enjoy your bagel. Definitely one of the best bagel spots in the Valley!

The lox bagel is a surprisingly large amount of food! I actually had to share it with my partner. The style of bagel bread here is more on the chewier/tough side. Also, the rosemary salt bagel is delicious. Love how salt forward it is. Great customer service here, even when they are busy.

I have ordered 3 bagels as follows: #2 (spicy) on rosmary with sea salt bagel, #3 without capers on everything bagel, and build your own bagel- blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese-for a picky eater. All bagels are freshly made daily here. The fillings are very big and generous. Our favorite turned out to be # 3 with lox and other fillings and the blueberry one is just heavenly delicious desert!!! The #2 is also very good but it is spicy, which I enjoyed. I also recommend to try rosemary and sea salt bagel very very good! The cashier told us there’s another Hank’s place in Burbank. Bottom line I highly recommend this bagel place!

I’ve had Hanks bagels a few times I frequent the Sherman Oaks location, the staff is always very nice very helpful. The bagels are always fresh and really tasty and when they’re out of something, they always suggest something else which is very helpful. My only issue is the pricing $15 for a bagel sandwich is a bit much and it’s not even coming with a full meal It’s just a bagel sandwich by itself if you want chips and maybe a drink that’s obviously separate. So overall, I would give this place a solid, four stars out of five my issue is the pricing point. It’s a little too much for a bagel almost $20 is crazy.

Great service, super crowded inside (rainy day), no indoor seating available, I ordered the #1 and I had a hot coffee, my total was about 11-13 bucks . Over all the sandwich was good, but the bagel was hard. Every bite I took, the ingredients would spill out the opposite end :-( I’d try them again, hopefully I’ll have a better bagel experience. They should consider keeping the bagels in a container with a lid on it until they need them instead of just having them out with the air exposure. That could have contributed to it.

The food is delicious, but they used to have much more cheese in their bagels! Look at the picture, there's almost no cheese on one side!
