First time trying garlic bagels .. they taste like garlic bread sticks the one comes whit pizza next time will try a regular bagel whit cream but for the price I just keep going Starbucks getting a regular bagel with cream simple and easy to have a regular bagel

This is one of those places where everything is amazing. The food was great, the atmosphere was lively and the staff was the best, especially David<3. We even got a goodie bag! Love this place.

Great place. Visited here on sunday and it was extremely packed. The bagels are great and so are the coffee. Slight more expensive than what I would have liked, but...I think its a solid deal. Give them a shot!

The food was excellent. Service was very slow, but it was very busy. The only thing that annoyed me was we got home, we noted an item we paid for was not there. So just check your orders.

Garlic bagel was delicious

best bagels ever!! worth the hype got both the signature calic & habanero calic & they are both so incredibly delicious!! they are stuffed throughout & as a garlic LOVER, the amount that they're stuffed with is perfection, you get a mouthful of flavor in each bite!! i surprisingly liked the habanero one more even thought both are a 12/10, the habanero isn't spicy it just has more flavor!! to my surprise there was no line or wait when i went & there's a large seating area right out front with plenty of tables & there's a few seats inside as well

I was so excited to try these bagels because I love garlic. There weren't too many people when I went, but the ordering and pickup process is very efficient. I got the signature and habanero calic. I like spice, but out of these 2, I preferred the signature. The cream cheese bagels were soooo creamy - I'm not the biggest fan of too much cream, but if this is your thing, then you'll totally love it. Overall, the bagels were fresh, warm, and super filling, so I'm glad I shared.

Calic Bagels has some of the best bagels I've ever had - that is definitely worth the price! Every time I'm in the KTown area, I go with my friend to get Calic Bagels or we have it delivered. No matter what mode we choose to get the bagels, service has always been super quick and professional. I'm allergic to eggs and nuts, and they are very responsive to my allergies. The popular stuffed bagels I cannot have, however I have had their regular bagels with their different cream cheese smears, and it is still so scrumptious! My friends always get the stuffed bagels, and their mouth always waters when smelling the fresh baked bagels and are sufficiently stuffed after eating it. They also have good coffees and matcha drinks to go along with the bagels. Even though the place gets crowded, there are free underground parking and there is enough space indoors and outdoors to sit and enjoy your bagel!

I saw this place pop up on social media so I really wanted to try it. There's free underground parking, which is nice given that this place is located in Los Angeles. Aside from bagels, the store sells other items like their dips, drinks, etc. You order at the kiosk and seat yourself if you decide to dine in. There's sufficient indoor and outdoor seating. I got their signature calic (garlic) and it was okay (3/5). I thought the cream cheese was really over powering in comparison to the amount of dough. I think I definitely would've liked their regular bagels better with a side of schmear so that I can control how much schmear I get with every bite of bagel. The garlic butter sauce was really good, you can definitely taste the garlic and butter, but the cream cheese was too much. The dough was soft, I really did like the bagel but next time would just buy the bagel and schmear individually. I shared this with a friend and it was definitely a very filling dish. Overall this place was a great spot to check out since I was craving a bagel. The staff was friendly and the dough looked like it was prepared fresh daily. I would come back to try their other bagels and schmears.

My life has changed after coming to Calic Bagel. As a humongous garlic lover, anytime anything is labelled as garlic flavored, it's never quite garlicky enough. Calic Bagel absolutely took that stereotype and said, we're going to make this the most amazing, delicious, perfect garlic overload as possible. The tots are swimming in garlic butter which ensured there were no plain tots. And I cannot even describe how delicious the garlic stuffed bagel is. There's a slightly sweet taste to it which perfectly balances the deep and creamy flavor from the garlic! There's a massive underground and free parking lot which was easy to find, which is rare in LA! The inside was cute with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and lots of cute items to buy such as merch, hot sauces, etc.

So good! Definitely worth the hype. I recommend just the classic signature bagel. The dough was soft and the stuffing was flavorful. We also tried the corn cheese one but it paled in comparison. Definitely less flavorful. We came on a Friday and the wait wasn't bad at all. They also have a really spacious outside seating area. Can't wait to be back! Salivating as I write this review.

I have been here a handful of times and I've loved every bagel I've tried. The bagels are soft, the different flavors are so good, none are too strong for the palate that you can't finish the entire thing if you wanted to. I usually try to go early in the day before they run out of seasonal/newer flavors. The line is quick, the staff is friendly and they have a lot of cute other items you can buy like tote bags, stickers, etc. They also sell just the cream cheese flavors on their own. Open area seating outside with some space inside to sit. There is an easy accessible parking lot right below.

The bagels here are very tasty. They are fluffy and they do not shy away from using lots of delicious filling. I like that they have lots of different flavor choices and that they do not shy away from trying things like habanero and coffee flavors. My rating does however include more than the food itself. It covers their service & customer dining experience and the overall environment. There is minimal seating inside, but there are more tables and chairs outside. The only downside to the outside seating is you'll likely either be in very hot (heatwave like) weather in the summer or cold/rainy towards the end of the year. The manager of this establishment was not willing to provide a list of ingredients for two of their bagels because "it is not legally required for the business to let customers know what the ingredients are." I do feel some type of way about their response, I cannot see why they withhold this information from their customers who may have allergies or sensitivities. Food: 5/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 2/5

I ordered ahead when they opened for pick up and was able to secure the jalapeno bagel and the pizza bagel. They were really good! There was a perfect amount of cream cheese without it being overwhelming and the bagel was soft but crispy. My only gripe is because we ordered ahead, the bagels were pretty cold by the time we ate them. I do think that the bagel would've tasted MUCH better if we ate them hot and fresh.

Calic Bagel is popular for its trendy garlic-stuffed bagels called the Signature Calic. Bagels are freshly made every morning with a limited amount daily. The signature Calic is the customer favorite, and the other menu items like habanero Calic and Calic tots are delicious. The signature Calic and Calic tots have such a dense flavor of garlic and a light sweetness, making it an irresistible combination. The sesame bagel with the onion smear was delicious as well! Calic Bagel is perfect for a quick, casual breakfast/lunch with great service!

Oh my goodness, the hype of the stuffed bagel is real! I've had Calic Bagels several times now and can attest to the goodness and great staff. I've gone in person, but keep in mind things sell out so if you go at the end of the day you may not get what you're after. The absolute best, must-get item on the menu is the garlic infused Signature Calic Stuffed Bagel. It's a steal at $8 when it will rock your world, if you're a garlic fan that is. I've tried the habanero, coffee and pizza stuff bagels as well, but the Calic just hits different. Soft and fluffy filled with the most rich garlic cream cheese in each bite. OBSESSED. I actually like the calic butter schmear so much I usually get an extra tub to use at home, whenever I place a breakfast order. They have beer on tap now, too! Whaaaa, that's amazing, really good craft beer options. It's a great hangout spot!!! Love ti.

The last time I came here they were out of stuffed bagels so I knew I had to make a return. Bagels 3/5: I get that garlic is their whole thing but oh boy did the stuffed bagel feel so over powered by it. The pizza one was much better and I would get this one again. I also got 2 everything bagels and wow I've never had an everything bagel with so many seeds in my life. After I finished my bagels the bag had an inch full of just seeds. The smears were good but it was $4 for a cup that actually deceives you as the bottom is concaved. Service 5/5: Didn't have much interaction but they were pretty quick. Ambiance 5/5: Good amount of seating outdoors and indoors. I'd come here to study if I were in the area. I think social media may have over hyped this one.

Finally had the chance to try Calic Bagel and I'm so glad I did! It seems like there is typically a line and stuffed bagels can sell out, but when we came on a late Thursday morning, it was pretty empty. We tried both the original garlic and habanero stuffed bagels. My favorite is definitely the habanero bagel since it's a bit more savory. The original bagel leaned sweet but it was still pretty good! There's plenty of seating both indoor and outdoors. There is also free parking downstairs which is a huge plus!

This place definitely lives up to the hype. I recommend ordering directly on their website. Depending on the day and time, it can take up to 30 minutes to prepare, but most times I've visited, my order has been ready in under 10 minutes. [Food 5/5]: My favorite is the signature bagel. I love how there's cream cheese in between every bite. The signature gives a nice buttery garlic flavor that isn't too overpowering. The habanero is my second favorite, but is a bit too spicy for my preference. [Service 5/5]: There's a side door specifically for pickup orders. The staff is always friendly and hands me my order right after I show them my pickup confirmation text. [Ambiance 5/5]: The store smells of freshly baked bagels as soon as I walk in. There are plenty of tables inside to sit and enjoy your bagel fresh. Definitely worth the wait and hype.

The online ordering system is exceptional! Order 10 minutes prior to reaching there if you still want it to be extremely fresh. We ordered two stuffed bagels Classic garlic- tasted like garlic naan, ate two pieces of it and felt very full would recommend sharing one stuffed bagel and one bagel sandwich depending on how carb overloaded you want to feel after. This is a great Sunday morning meal that will keep you full and sleepy for the day. Would not recommend before an important event Habanero garlic stuffed bagel - had the perfect blend of spicy, creamy, crunchy, and soft. Had one piece of this one and it was very very good. Each bite is filled with cream cheese and the bagel dough itself is very fresh and flavorful. The area is very cute! There is parking available in a garage right next to calic. Additionally, there is an outdoor and indoor area for sitting! They also do serve coffee (did not get). Overall, I would highly recommend bringing friends and family here for a unique and great bagel experience. Going to the beach after would be a great way to spend a Sunday morning

I have been dying to try the bagels here and they did not disappoint! They were perfectly rich in flavor and so decadent. Original (Garlic): 5/5 Habanero: 4/5 Would definitely order these again! The dough was so soft and chewy.

On Friday 12/20/24 we decided to order some bagels I work near by and my team and I were so excited to try the stuffed garlic bagel, habanero bagel and the corn bagel and they made us sick. I've been sick with vomiting, bad stomach cramps, and diarrhea and the coworkers too. I felt that the cream cheese coming warm in the stuffed bagel and the sweetness just didn't feel right. Cream cheese should not be warmed. Now I'm praying we all get well before Christmas :( It was order #20 Friday 12/20/2024. The order was placed under Karissa G. And email is on the receipt and phone number.

Honestly kind of shocked how much people love this place and wait so long. Luckily on a Saturday after we ordered it only took 15 mins to get the food, but it was underwhelming. Original Garlic Calic is good buts it's essentially garlic cream cheese bread not bagel... Also the rip & dip is not that great here. The bagels are just like bread and not bagel texture and they aren't crispy at all... Don't need to go here if you like Courage bagels or even Layla tbh. They do have a parking garage and a nice seating area however. Outside is nice if you have a bigger party too.

WOW I finally understand the hype!! 1. Free parking! Look for the green underground parking garage right below Calic Bagel--such a win! 2. Freshly buttered bagels are divine When I walked in, they had samples of warmed pretzel bites with basil sun-dried tomato cream cheese, which were delicious. But I was here for one thing: the signature garlic-stuffed bagel. At first glance, it looked dry, but that impression vanished with the first bite. The bagel was soft and pillowy--though it leaned more towards a bread-like texture without the tanginess of a traditional bagel. But honestly, garlic bread always hits the spot! With generous slabs of cream cheese layered between each section, it made for the perfect bite every time. We also tried the Coffee Calic bagel, which comes prepackaged without cream cheese. It had a subtly sweet coffee crust and a similar softness, though a bit denser since it wasn't freshly warmed. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to its name, as the coffee flavor was barely there--a bit of a letdown, but I'll know to try something different next time!

I got the signature bagel. The first piece was good but the garlic butter plus the cream cheese filling made it too heavy for me personally. The actual bagel itself was really soft and chewy, almost a pillowy texture. I took home a couple of flavored bagels and wow the jalapeño cheddar with the schmear was soo good. I air fried it for a couple of mins per the instructions and it was amazing! Got the garlic bagel as well and thought it was just okay. Plenty of free parking by the structure connected to the building. Lots of outdoor seating as well! Next time I'm around the area I'll definitely pick up more of the jalapeño cheddar bagels + schmear!

Calic Bagel is now becoming a Koreatown staple with its viral bagels. Having been reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, Good Morning America, and Secret Los Angeles, it's being called one of the top L.A. places to get some cream cheese-stuffed bagels. One of their most popular items is the Signature Calic, a garlic butter-dipped bagel filled with garlic cream cheese. They also have interesting schmears like the basil sun-dried tomato, Jeju Hallabong, and bacon scallion. I also got their biscoff latte. So the quick down, the bagel was a bit too cheesy for me and a bit sweet. The latte was small for $7.00. I wish they considered doing a bigger cup cuz you can get way more at Starbucks and other coffee shops. Note that there is no ground parking, only underground parking. They are closed on Mondays (as of this writing), but check their website for their most up-to-date hours of operation.

Signature: 4.5/5 great taste and texture. Not the best I've had nor the worst. Garlic was flavorful and the cream cheese:bagel ratio was balanced per bite! Scallion shmear: 4/5 it's good! Nothing crazy. I can imagine this shmear pairing very well with many other bagels. A solid and safe choice.

I've been hearing about this bagel forever and I finally tried it! I was so excited and they met my expectations and more. Service here is great the ladies working here are so sweet and kind even when I was coming in right before closing (sorry). The ambiance is so cute cafe vibes. Now the BAGELS are fantastic! Nobodies doing it like this! Soft gooey filled bagels are the best here! I cannot wait to come back and get the corn cheese bagel again!

Came here with friends after scouting this place for a while on TikTok. Parking was free and spacious which was an immediate plus! We got 3 bagels and tots to share and all were great, but not amazing. I also got the biscoff latte which was quite nice but pricey and my friend got the strawberry matcha which was much too sweet and didn't have a strong matcha flavor. It may just be preference, but I don't think the stuffed bagels were my thing as I think it took away from actual bagel itself since it's very dependent on the cream cheese. The texture of the bread wasn't so fluffy, but the cream cheese were ofc a standout. The crowd favorite was definitely the garden bagel bc it was so so fresh. The tots were nice and crispy and the garlic butter was delicious and surprisingly sweet. TLDR: I would say slightly overhyped (skip out on the drinks) but worth it to check out especially if you're a cream cheese or garlic fan!

So after having breakfast we went to this amazing place and it was life changing! I was on a mission to find the best bagels around LA and this place was recommended numerous times. And it did not disappoint at all. The signature stuffed Calic Bagel was out of this world. The garlic cream cheese in the bagel is absolutely heavenly, and the everything bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese schmear is just divine. I must say, it's a great find for anyone looking for quality bagels. So if you're in the area, do check it out! You won't be disappointed!

First time here and i tried their regular bagel, everything bagel with the bacon dip. The dip was full of bacon taste and complimented the bagel well. The jalapeno bagel was super cheesy and creamy, pretty heavy for sure though. Their breakfast sandwich is underrated. It was full of flavor and tasted fresh. Their yuzu drink is solid as well, just too small and they put too much ice in it. Overall, i would say its worth the hype. The price isnt that bad and the best thing is the building they're in has parking!

Wow! What can I say?! This bagel spot lived up to its hype. I heard that their stuffed bagels sell out quick so I had to make sure I wake up early before heading back home to SF to get some! Well worth the early wake up call. Bonus points for having a free parking garage. Signature Calic 8/10 - definitely worth the first try! Very flavorful and delicious. Every bite was the perfect amount of bread and filling Habanero Calic 10/10 - I love spicy food and the habanero kicked my sense. I was tearing up a bit from both the spice and how delicious it was. Ktown not philly 5/10 - I felt like I had high expectations for this considering the gochujung aioli but it wasn't spectacular compared to the stuffed bagels. Yuzu spread 4/10, gf rated it 5/10 - maybe because I'm not a big yuzu fan or it just didn't hit as great when I put it on an everything bagel. It's unique for sure, not creamy though. Basil sun-dried tomato spread 7/10, gf rated 7/10 - biased because I love this flavor but I thought it really intensified the bagel. I didn't know they turn into a bar later in the evening with pizza and beer. Excited to come back one day to try that!

I got lucky and found street parking. No one in line either. Decided to get the original Calic bagel. It was the perfect level of soft and doughy. But boy was it garlicky. I love garlic so it was great. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely want to try the pizza bagel next.

Ordered this via Uber eats a few times and I haven't been able to get anything other than their Lox bagel and Garlic bagel as they are too good to pass on! I also tried their strawberry matcha and iced latte today and they were great!

Went to Korea town in LA and got to try these unique stuffed bagels. The line was not too long and I had to wait about 10 mins for my order. You may have a hard time parking around the area because it can be tricky. The setup inside is nice with some room inside and outside to eat but not much. These were some of the most scrumptious bagels I have ever tried. The Signature Calic reminded me of Korean cream cheese garlic bread I have made before and the Habanero Calic was the perfect combination of spice and the rich garlic flavor. Both stuffed bagels were aromatic, crispy, fluffy, seasoned well, rich in flavor, and had the perfect amount of cream cheese stuffed inside. 10/10 rating, a perfect bagel Also tried the egg & cheese sandwich they have. It wasn't anything special, and lacked flavor.

Different twist on bagels -- cream cheese was stuffed inside. Loved the softness of the bagels. Found the corn one a bit too sweet for my liking but will go back to try out the jalapeño bagel. Parking available underground!

My second visit here :) Bagel shop located in a plaza with free garage parking and lots of seating, indoor & outdoor available. Typically, there is a long line but the wait time is quick after ordering. There's so many types of bagels to choose from but our favorite is the signature calic ($8) & pizza calic ($8). I love how flavorful & filling these are. Looking forward to coming back so i can try more flavors & schmears. I noticed that they have Biscoff latte, im excited to try that one next. fyi they don't allow outside food/drinks.

Great bagels and great space! We came kind of late and thought they might've ran out of stuff, but nope- wasn't out of anything! There's a great variety of spreads unlike some other bagel places, and they're all pretty sizeable. I've heard things about the tots, so will try then when I come back. I'd love to just chill and sit and do work, but not sure if that's the vibe- great space to do so though.

This place is going to be the next big thing. At first I was skeptical about the viral bagel pockets being filled. As a New Yorker though, this was AMAZING. I never had anything like this before. I honestly devoured it within 5 minutes. The establishment is clean, chic and productive. I can't wait to come back and try more options.

Their garlic dipped, garlic cream cheese bagel is such a delicious bite. It's the reason why this place came up on my radar. I saw it making its rounds on social media and I knew I had to try it. As for the place itself, the folks here are very friendly. The service is great. The vibe is relaxed at least around lunchtime during a weekday. The space is pretty cool with plenty of seating inside and out. Another really cool aspect is that this place converts to a pizza place for dinner. Another place I really want to try. Definitely want to come back and try the pizza place. And also, I want to come back and try some of the other items on the menu during the day. Although it is K-Town, maybe it was because it was during the day that I was able to find easy parking. But this place is slightly off the beaten path.

No. No. No. doesn't live up to the hype. A not at all. The bagel's are more like sweet bread and clashes with the stuffed cream cheese. The cream cheeses alone are good, but I was not impressed by the bagels at all. Tried the stuffed, jalapeño and cheddar, and everything. Veggie cream cheese, plain, and chive bacon. They make pizzas too later in the day. Small place, more of a pickup and go place although there are a free tables. Parking is difficult.

Oh.my.god. The best stuffed bagels I've ever had. My wife agrees to this statement. We came on a Saturday around 2pm. Lots of young people inside - guess the hipster kids like bagels. I don't blame them though, these bagels are delicious. My wife got the pizza one and I chose the garlic signature. We shared both and fell in love. These bagels had soooo much flavor!! The cream cheese was nice and soft, the bread was fluffy - we ate them real quick. Price is reasonable too considering the size. Will definitely be returning!! PS I had an Olipop for the first time, in Strawberry Vanilla. It's now my new favorite!

OMG BEST BAGEL EVER!! Stopped by during my LA trip and this was one of the highlights of my trip. The shop is small and cute, and there is free parking in the garage right next door. The service is quick even though it gets packed. They do run out of Calic bagels as it is a 48 hour process to make, so I would try to come earlier in the day. My favorite is by far the Calic bagel. The bagel is bursting with flavor and is the perfect balance of garlicy, buttery, savory, creamy, and slightly sweet. The amount of cream cheese is very generous and I loved that. I went two days in a row and I will say it tasted a bit different the second day - drier and less buttery. But it was still delicious. My friend said pizza stuffed bagel was their favorite, but I did not agree lol. You definitely need to come try the Calic bagel, like yesterday.. it is legitimately life changing.

I've been wanting to come here since it blew up on Instagram last year! First impression -- the bagels are super soft! I got a sesame bagel with my KBBQ bagel cheeseburger. I liked the balance between the sweetness of the galbi sauce, the savoriness of the cheese, and the slight spice from the gochujang aioli. A bit of lettuce or tomato inside would've made it absolutely perfect to balance out the sauciness and fattiness from the sandwich though. The Signature Calic (the stuffed one they're known for) was more like a fluffy garlic bread than a bagel and it was pretty heavy -- I think I could probably only get through a quarter of it if I was having it myself. It would probably still be really good reheated, though, so you could bring the rest home. Service is not super fast because everything comes out fresh, so the strat is to order on the Toast app or online 10 minutes before and you'll arrive just on time for pickup. There's free parking underground, which is absolutely delightful for Ktown. There's also lots of both indoor and outdoor seating, but I could see it getting real nasty on a weekend. I'd love to try out their schmears in the future!

Food- It's worth it. We ordered the pizza and garlic bagel. Both had the perfect amount of sweetness and salty. I've never had a bagel that has the right softness, shmear, and toastiness. Service- Employees were friendly, and welcoming! We went with self-checkout since there wasn't a line at 9:40am. Food came out pretty quick! Ambiance- Parking is next door. Plenty of sitting outside and inside! Overall, I had a great experience. Thank you so much!

Parking: Found easy street parking early Saturday morning but there's also a parking garage. Experience: We went around 8:30am on a Saturday and there wasn't a line, but there were signs outside indicating there's usually a queue. We ordered the signature calic stuffed bagel and the habanero stuffed bagel and they were $8 each. The food was ready pretty quickly. The bagels looked different from what I've seen on social media, but they were still good! It felt almost more like a pastry than a bagel since the dough was very soft and light and not very dense or bready which was interesting. I'd come back to try more!

Food: 5/5 The original calic and the jalapeño one are worth the hype! We went on a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait. Def try this place if u love bagels but I'd skip the matcha! Service: 5/5 Self order at kiosk and they make it fast! You can also order ahead and pick up. Ambiance: 5/5 Spacious, clean, with a good amount of seating.

This might be the best bagel I've ever had. And I am definitely of the "bagels are just a socially acceptable means of eating an eff-ton of cream cheese" persuasion. So actually liking the bagel is quite a fun experience! Every time I come to LA now, I visit this place at least twice. So far I can recommend the cream cheese stuffed bagel, the cheddar cheese stuffed, the pizza bagel, the lox, and most of the schmears. Mmmm now I'm hungry....

All I can say is WOW!!!! I saw Calic Bagel featured on an influencer page on YouTube. The garlic stuffed bagel had me curious! And I've always been in search of a good bagel. I ordered in advanced online - and their ordering system is quick, easy, simple. Food was ready on time as promised and we headed down to pick it up! This place is in a tiny strip mall. There is underground parking - not a lot of stalls but free! Lovely outdoor and indoor seating. And the bagels are worth the hype!! I'm going to definitely be back to try their new Corn Cheese Stuffed bagel!!

I've visited this bagel place three times already and I don't even live in LA. The first time my friend and I tried the bagels, we were in shock. It was life-changing. I never looked at bagels the same way again. The breakfast becky was AMAZING. And the calic tots??? Omg! (It's a small thing, but we really appreciated the fact that you could get the calic sauce on the side so that the tots don't get soggy.) But we didn't get to try the famous stuffed bagels since they were already sold out. The second time we came, after my friend visited me in LA again; we knew we had to try the stuffed bagels. We woke up super early to order our bagels in bulk and drove an hour to get there. We realized the hype did die down a lot, since while we were eating, people were still able to get bagels at later times. I think maybe because we ordered the bagels too early or we hyped it up too much from the first time, it wasn't thAT amazing as I thought - I think I was comparing it too much to Smoking Tiger's garlic bread; which is much sweeter than this one. I also thought it would be similar to the calic tots sauce flavor, but it was actually pretty plain. But I really liked the habanero and pizza ones! The third time I went, I specifically got those, and they are definitely better when you eat them warm. The ordering process is pretty simple, either by online order or in person, where they have kiosks. The staff are all friendly, too. They do have some indoor seating as well as outdoor. There is also a parking garage, which is GREAT! Overall, I am dying to try the other bagels on the menu too. The bagel quality itself is unlike any other place I've ever tried. Already planning my next visit! ^^

food took a while to make, but it is a pretty popular place. Parking is a little bit confusing. The actual donut itself is actually pretty good. It is a bit expensive but it is LA.

This was just ok. If you came here bc of social media, you're not alone, I did too. Were they worth the hype? For me, no. The bagels were really dense and more like garlic knots than fluffy bagels. I liked the kick in the habanero stuffed bagel, this I would recommend. But the pizza bagel was a little too sweet for me, which was strange and really unexpected. My husband got the Becky tots, which were the tator tots with cheese, bacon bits with a fried egg on top. He also thought this was "just ok". We paid about $28 for the 3 items and we preordered ahead online which was a time saver since that place was packed at 9am on Saturday morning. The servers were all nice and friendly. I think this is a spot to try at least once and if you like it, come back. For us, we wouldn't go out of our way to try anything else.

Kinda odd but their Signature Calic bagel looked much worse in real life than some photos I've seen on Yelp. Mine was thin, scrawny, and not much filling as compared to other photos I've seen of a luscious pillow of a bagel oozing in garlic cream cheese. Maybe they got cheap ...? Maybe they changed their recipe (for the worse)...? I would, however, recommend the egg and cheese bagel sandwich. A cant-go-wrong classic and they FILL IT UP with ribbons of perfectly cooked egg. Service was slow, but than again this place gets crowded. Lots of seating, most of which is outside.

My friend and I came here specifically to try their stuffed bagels but they were sold out of them at 1 pm on a weekday. We were both pretty disappointed as we wouldn't have come here otherwise. They only had regular bagels left, so I got one of their signature sandwiches with lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel. The service was friendly and efficient. They have a good amount of indoor seating if you want to eat there. The ambiance is casual and somewhat trendy. I got my bagel soon after ordering but didn't love it. The texture was quite different from what I'm normally used to in a bagel and I wasn't really a fan. I might come back for their stuffed bagels another time, but otherwise wouldn't bother coming out of the way to try this place again.
