The bagels here are freaking delicious and the service is one of a kind. They have a great selection going on and the service is one of a kind.

Ordered a bagel with lox & cream cheese. It was awful! The onions were old & chewy/stringy. The tomatoes were old & wilty. The capers were also old & chewy and the cucumber was rubbery. I wanted the bagel toasted and it was cold when I bit into the sandwich. Also, lox should be made open face because it is too difficult to eat in sandwich form...everything just squeezes out when you take a bite.On a side note, the cashier was unfriendly and the shop seemed dirty. I will not do business here again.

A workmanlike bagel spot: certified kosher mind you, unlike many others. They have a couple seats and tables outside. Wide selection of flavored cream cheese and they use a decent white fish salad. The lox cream cheese is good.

Tried to support and ordered to go. Walked 30 min with our 3 year old. They had door locked, dirty tables outside and we tried to call, the workers acted like they didnt see or hear us. One waved us as a bother. Another ignored phone too and we could hear it. Saw our order was now cancelled. Used google pay. Now we wait days for refund. My wife used to use them for business luncheons. Their hours of operation were online and on door until 3 or 3:30 pm. We got there at 2:30 pm. Were done. Plenty of businesses to support.

Love that we have a neighborhood bagel place, BUT since Covid, they only have 1 choice for lox & its the absolute worst! Its so processed, I just have little interest in stopping in anymore. Bring in some quality (& whole wheat onion bagels) & Ill happily return...

I’m shocked this place doesn’t have more reviews. To me, this is the best place in LA for bagels. They are made fresh everyday.

Just got 3 different kinds of bagels and 2 of them were pretty hard and definitely not fresh. Their cream cheese is delicious though so I might give them another chance, not sure yet...

Absolutely delicious! Loved the bagel texture and the amount of ingredients on the sandwich had a nice balance. First time ever trying an Egg Pretzel Bagel and it was fantastic. Definitely will be coming here again!

I mean, this has to be a contender for one of the best bagels in Los Angeles. Nice and crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, not too dense, not too light...top notch.

This is the best bagel place hands down!! Amazing bagels, soups, best cream cheese!! And the customer service is fantastic! We were standing in line this morning (during COVID) and many customers came up to complain about the line (which went very quickly). Come on guys its a Sunday! What do you expect?😂 The owner’s grandson was very sweet and understanding with the customers and reassured everyone that they will be with them shortly. What a nice guy! All around a great experience as usual:)

Bagels were good but place was very dirty and the bagels had flies. There was more than one display compartment that had several flies and the outside tables were a mess. If you can overlook those things than youll enjoy the bagels.

I grew up on these bagels, and for those who know, know. Once youve eaten these, there are no other bagels to discuss. These are unicorn bagels, here, folks. Get them and support small business. Very Covid prepared for in store order/pick up.

This place is a neighborhood staple. Bagels always fresh, great spreads (jalapeño cream cheese and whitefish are my favorites), and the soups are a must get, no matter the weather. When available, the combo of their fresh soft pretzel + sonnys split pea soup = incredible. I live very close to the cadillac location and I have been a customer for over a decade and I continue to go not only go back, but I still look at it as a treat after all these years. Went today and there was a line out the door, but they were only allowing 2-3 customers in at a time. I felt the need to write this review because the owners grandson was at the door opening it for customers and sanitizing it. I have always loved this place but I just really appreciated the service today, especially during these difficult times.

Review №22

The bagels were really good but it’s one of those places where everyone seems like they’re in a bad mood, like they’re somehow too busy to be kind to their customers. Had to stand in line to get my to-go order and it took 15 mins for them to serve bagels to the 3 people ahead of me... but again, really good bagels.

I love soup. And I hate to leave bad reviews. But Ive had so many bad experiences here that I cant hold back any longer. Because I love soup I often find myself stopping here for lunch as I drive by. And its always the same. Luke warm soup. If there is one thing good soup should be it is HOT. Even if it is the best soup in the world, if its not served hot is it ruined. Luke warm soup is bad no matter what.Now, when I call the soup luke warm, I am being generous. Usually the soup is barely a notch above room temperature. But today was the last straw. I will never go back. I ordered split pea soup that was room temperature, bordering on cold. It was as if you took a can of split pea soup out of the cupboard, opened it and ate it without heating it. It was so bad I took one bite and threw the rest in the trash. I could not eat more than one bite. And I love split pea soup. But I do not love cold split pea soup.Sorry Bagel Factory/Sonnys Soups. Ive given you so many chances and its always the same.While Im at it, Id like to point out that bagels are $1.50 here, but if you add cream cheese it doubles the price to $3. And this isnt one of those places that generously piles the cream cheese on. You get a light smear of cream cheese on your bagel for an additional $1.50. A bagel with a dab or cream cheese shouldnt cost $3.

The best bagels in town. I love their soups. The soups are the most flavorful. We always buy the bagels for our special occasions. Consistent service staff always has a smile. Parking in front or on the street. There are a couple breakfast runs where the place gets busy, but the owner staffs this place with plenty of help and you can get your food and coffee very quickly. Excellent place.

Review №25

Top 3 bagel place in LA. Very authentic NY style bagels. They taste the best early in the morning. I used to get a bagel every single morning from here during residency when I was rotating through the west side. Other places I remember being great were Bagel Broker and Brooklyn bagel company. The challah bread here is nice and soft, very tasty. Terrible little parking spots.

Wanted to support our local businesses So I walked to the Bagel factory to pick up few bagels for my kids, staff were rude (not a big deal) but most importantly the bagels were old and chewy, my 9 year old literally couldnt eat it, I tried one myself and was the worst bagel I have ever had, bagels were defiantly a day or 2 old, I hate to say this but will never go back unless they start selling only fresh bagels only

Im from Brooklyn, New York and I know bagels. The bagels here are great and always fresh. Great selection and their pricing better than most. I wish they would stay open longer in the night like its done in Brooklyn. They also make fantastic breads.

Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside -- these might be the most authentic bagels west of the Hudson. Theres always a line but service is quick and efficient. In a hurry? They offer takeaway shmears and packaged smoked fish, just grab a dozen to go.

Was running late but was not impressed with neither the service nor the food which was bagel with cream cheese n lox. No veges. Lady gave me a look when I asked for lox without veges. Almost $10. I think this was my first time and last. There is lot other place I can go get onion bagel with cream cheese n lox for 10 buck.

No more bagels at 1 P.M.?!?!?What bagel shop does not have bagels let alone STOP serving you completely at 12:55 P.M.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE !!!Staff is very rude and unfriendly. Owner pops by once in a blue moon and does nothing to help just takes his own bagels and makes a kid smile.

The hours arent actually till 7, they close at 6. So I got there at 630 and tried to let the workers know their hours are wrong online when I realized they were closed and they made shooing hand motions at me instead of letting me help. Ive been here before and the food is good, but the service was bad then as well. I probably wont be coming back if this is going to be my experience.

Microwaved omelets? Nope. Why is there a kitchen back there if you’re going to basically run a counter service without a flattop? Spend your bagel money somewhere else on Robertson.
