I'm not sure if I just went at the wrong time, or maybe it was an off day for them, but their GF treats are mid. I would not recommend them.
The challah roll, which the cashier pretentiously corrected us on the pronunciation, was STALE AF. You are kidding yourself if you think this is an authentic representation of a challah roll. It weighed like 3 pounds and was super dry and gross. It also costs like $11. My fiancé took a bite and we threw it out. I don't even think the homeless of LA would want it that's how bad it was. For a stale, dry piece of bread that tasted like a rock, you should not be charging $11. Either make a soft, delicious, actual challah roll or don't make it at all. You should be EMBARRASSED to be selling this and calling it a challah roll.
Their bagels are also pretty dry. My fiancé and I shared the B.E.C. The contents were pretty good--it was the best vegan sausage we have had and the mushrooms in it were so tasty, but the bagel itself was super dry. Really, if you're not going to make GF stuff actually taste good and soft, then don't bother making and selling it. I won't lie to you like other reviewers here and say the baked goods are so soft and tasty. If you want a GF bakery that TASTES GF, you've come to the right place.
I myself bake GF desserts (scones, cakes, cookies, brownies, babka, loaves, pies) because my fiancé has an allergy, and my treats come out way softer and more like regular, non-GF treats. This experience makes me want to just stay home and make my own bagels now. I saw some other reviewers saying "oh it's a bit dry but it's GF!" As if this is expected. No, it's not expected. Gluten free baking can be good, moist, soft, and delicious, but Modern bakery ain't it.
