"Tom and Tiffany Levy opened Uncle Stevey’s in 2023. The El Segundo shop produces small batches of mostly traditionally flavored bagels, along with a few original creations like the “black-and-white” covered in two-toned sesame seeds, cheddar hot honey, and rosemary and olive oil. The Levys are inspired by East Coast-style bagels at the shop, and lean into the crisp exterior, complemented by an airy inside. Try the eponymous Uncley Stevey with lox, cream cheese, pickled onion, and dill." - Mona Holmes

"There’s nothing overly fussy about Uncle Stevey’s. It's a straightforward bagel shop run by two former New Yorkers who bake everything in a fancy oven. This counter-service daytime spot serves just under ten varieties, from the traditional to the slightly more adventurous (cheddar hot honey and black & white sesame). You’ll also find the expected bagel shop classics here like smoked fish, egg and cheese sandwiches, and various cream cheese flavors. If you live in El Segundo, add these bagels to your weekly breakfast rotation—if you don’t, make it your breakfast pit stop on the way to the beach. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder
"The city’s bagel boom shows no signs of slowing, and this time it’s downtown El Segundo that’s got a new destination for lox and schmear. Proudly inspired by the East Coast, Uncle Stevey’s is doing spins like black-and-white sesame and cheddar hot honey bagels, which can also be ordered as a sandwich with bacon and egg or smashed avocado.

"There’s nothing too cool or overly fussy about Uncle Stevey’s. It's a straightforward bagel shop in El Segundo run by two former New Yorkers who bake everything in a fancy oven. The problem is they're still working out some kinks. One bagel in a batch might be fresh and chewy. Another might be too hard. And it’s a small complaint, but the surface of their everything bagel is so blasted with seasoning, that you’re showered with spices every time you take a bite. If you live within walking distance of this place, it’ll do. You’ll find the expected bagel shop classics here like smoked fish, egg and cheese sandwiches, and a bunch of cream cheese varieties. But if you’re willing to roam, there are better bagel options out there." - Nikko Duren
