Bagels Restaurants near East Los Angeles, CA

“Mexes Cafe is a cute, quaint and dainty spot that really eminates with the essence of la familia y tradicion. I appreciate the vibe because it really reminds me of home. The art and the ambience really call to me and I have to give it a high recommendation without even talking about the drinks and food yet. On that note, I had pupusas and two lattes, one of which was a mazapan latte and the other was the horchata latte. I loved the fact that you could choose your own design on the latte. The mazapan latte, literally had such a nostalgic feel because it tastes exactly like the de la rosa candy. As for the horchata latte, you can never go wrong with that. It was very sweet, with that coffee undertone to make a great balance. I genuinely recommend visiting this spot because if you are in the mood for good vibes and good times!“

“The first time I came here, I got the No.8 and wasn’t a huge fan - I personally felt the toppings were overwhelming and I didn’t like the flavors together, BUT I could taste how amazing the everything bagel was underneath. The dough was soft and chewy and it was actually salted well which in my experience, is pretty rare. So I came back and this time just got butter and scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel so I could taste the bagel more on its own, and it was amazing. The bagel is genuinely so good you can eat it on its own, which is not something I can say for most bagel places I’ve been too. The scallion cream cheese is also genuinely amazing, it’s super light and fluffy and delicious. From now on my go to order is everything bagel with scallion cream cheese on the side so I can enjoy it plain and with the CC.

Also every single staff member I’ve met has been incredibly kind, genuine, and helpful, it’s nice to come to a place that people seem genuinely happy to work at and be a part of. And who knows, you may like the No.8 (I hear it’s popular!) it just wasn’t for me.

(And yes, this is better than every bagel I’ve had during the time I lived in NYC.)“

“Best bagels in Los Angeles and don’t skip the bialy“

“I can't say enough nice things about Belles. The staff is great and the bagels are the bomb! I love their new full service restaurant as I used to order from them through door dash or postmates during covid. Super friendly and wonderful space!! Go!“

“This place has great breakfast sandwiches and bagels! I love little local neighborhood spots like this. Not touristy and prices are reasonable. We came back the next day because it was so good. Limited seating.“

“Good price bagels that are decently portioned. Would recommend going with a group to try a few different versions. My favorite were the bacon and habanero stuffed bagels.

Roughish part of the neighborhood and street parking only I believe, but that's LA.“

“One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had! They have a variety of breakfast sandwiches, burritos, fish, and other breakfast foods!

The staff were kind and welcoming. They have a variety of chips, drinks, even Mexican Sprite, Fanta, and Coke!

I got a plain bagel that had turkey, cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs and a hash brown. I devoured the sandwich and it was ready within 5 minutes of ordering!

I would definitely come back here!“

WE MISS HER HUSBAND HE WAS SUCH A GREAT GUY. THIS PLACE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. VERY LOVING PEOPLE.“

“I tried Einstein Bros for the first time and it’s become my absolute favorite 🤩
I love the avocado, egg and tomato or the bacon avocado. It’s delicious. The hash browns are good too. But alittle small. Coffee could be a bit warmer. But overall I love this place and I think it’s been a great addition to Monterey park. Wish they’d open in the evenings. 😇“

“great staff and great coffee!“

“todo delicioso 🥯🍩🥖muy buen servicio 👌 🤤“

“I was visiting the neighborhood and only did a pick up order. Fast service. Food was ready when I arrived. I got the Santa Fe egg white sandwich and the Carmel cold brew and both were absolutely delicious. If I'm ever in the neighborhood again I will definitely stop by.“

“Cool little place! Tea is as advertised!“

“For me, this is a top 5 LA coffee shop because it’s solid and straightforward. Great latte, cold brew, and drip coffee. Laidback ambiance and no pretentious energy. Delicious pastries and cute trinkets for purchase. Staff have always been friendly. Parking isn’t necessary hard to find but I rarely get a spot right in front…just gotta do a lap or two.“

“The tuna bagels sandwich are good & healthy as well 😊 The employees are friendly and helpful. Keep up the great work 👍👏💖“

“Cool vibe, great Lox Bagel“

“El café es de verdad muy sabroso estilo Michoacán ahora los molletes! mmmmm ☺️“

“This place is a gem! I got a breakfast croissant and a coffee for only $14. The croissant was really good — not dry at all, very flavorful. And the Vietnamese coffee was only $4, served in a huge cup, and it tasted amazing. I really wish more people knew about this spot. Thank you!“

“They just refurbished the place.... Donuts coming out warm..... Coffee is good....... People that work here are cool...... Second Negrete generation soon to be coming here.....“

“Best donuts in the area by far! The new owners are an awesome and friendly young family that bake everything fresh and with skill. We moved a little farther away recently and still come back to this location because we love it so much. I highly recommend the tiger tail.“

“The raspados , tostilocos and bionicos are delicious 😋“

“Just a great family-owned shop. They’ve got some of the best donuts I have ever had. I am from San Francisco, and I can tell you, these donuts are better than any I have had in the city. Their sandwiches are a great size, especially for the price. $12 for a hot cup of coffee, huge sandwich with all the fixings, side of hot chilis and a large, perfectly fried glazed donut. I wish this family could have a location everywhere. Best of luck to their business!“

“Precision hair cuts. Best cuts we’ve ever had. Randall is great. Interesting.“

“I don't know about the rest of the day, but at 8:30 in the morning the donuts here are delicate and delicious. Highly recommend the raspberry filled jelly donut. Haven't had one that good since I was a kid. The ladies serving me were very helpful and friendly.“

“Coffee is weak, weak, weak, unless brown water is your thing. The 7-11 next door isn't much better. The ladies behind the counter offer prompt service. This donut shop is where I first tried a cronut. The glazed is my favourite & is the favourite of others as well, as they tend to sell out of this variety before the others.“

“Wonderful bagel sandwich.“

“My first time there & its was good. Only thing is, one should stay at register & one food prep only. I noticed they don't separate duties. They can switch each meal time but not sametime. I was worried about handling food & money at the sametime ( germs).“
