"Modern Bread & Bagel makes gluten-free treats, but you don’t have to be dough-intolerant to like this place. Originally from New York, Modern opened a Woodland Hills location last year before opening their latest shop in Santa Monica. We’re into their pastrami-crusted lox sandwiches with chive smear, as well as a moist cinnamon bun topped with cream cheese frosting. Coffee drinks, salads, and breakfast sandwiches are also up for grabs." - Sylvio Martins
"I appreciated that Woodland Hills’s Modern Bread and Bagel stepped in where Breadblok left off, opening a gluten-free deli and bakery in the former Breadblok location on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica." - Eater Staff
"I’m happy that Modern Bread and Bagel, which just opened a second location in Santa Monica, is quite literally taking up where Breadblok left off." - Eater Staff
"Recently opened on Santa Monica’s Montana Avenue in a former Breadblok location, Modern Bread and Bagel—which also has locations in New York and the San Fernando Valley—features all hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels that are gluten-free and kosher, aimed at accommodating customers who missed Breadblok’s gluten-free pastries and bread." - Mona Holmes
"If you're in need of a gluten-free dessert this year, Breadblok in Santa Monica is your spot. They're taking preorders for their beautiful apple crumble tartlets (made with vegan shortbread), pecan pies, and pumpkin pies topped with whipped cream. " - sylvio martins
