I ordered toasted everything with 2 eggs bacon and cheddar. The bagel had great texture and good flavor. Although, there was only seasoning on the top. The eggs, scrambled (no option) at another time and reheated in the microwave! The cheese was not melted. When I asked if there was a way to melt it, they offered the microwave. The bacon was thinner than Denny’s bacon and way to crispy. The women at the counter were very friendly.

I really want to like this place as it is the closest thing to a NY bagel in the area. One thing you can’t do if you are a bagel place is be skimpy with your cream cheese. The past few times I’ve visited, they put virtually no cream cheese on the bagel. First time this happened I thought it was a fluke but then it happened again and again. Very disappointing to spend almost $5 and eat plain dough.

After spending time on the east coast and having family from New York, the title of this restaurant caught my eye! It's hard to find real bagels in California that match the East coast flavor! This shop delivered on taste! The bagels were good! And smelled good too: as soon as you walk into the shop you are greeted with the smells of fresh bagels! The menu is a bit pricey. Bagels are a dollar and seventy cents. The lox bagel sandwich was fourteen dollars and fifty cents. I thought for this price there should be more lox on my sandwich. I think the tomato on my sandwich was thicker than the amount of lox on my sandwich. My friend had a bacon, cheese egg sandwich, and this seemed to be a better value than my sandwich. We also had a blended drink that was a bit icy but was corrected when brought back to the counter. This place is quite popular on the weekend. There was line that went out the door when we arrived at 10:30am. The line moved pretty quickly. Inside the shop there is only a couple small tables. Outside there are plenty of tables. Despite the price, I enjoyed my bagel experience!

Good bagels and good coffee, but kind of crummy that they are closed on Mondays. I had to go to Western Bagel instead.

I love their sandwiches, but I can not stand when they disconnect the phone line. It's very inconvenient. Especially when I need to edit my pick up order.

Their turkey salad on a bagel with the works is my absolute favorite for lunch! Sounds silly, but I was sad to see the chicken salad go but they replaced it with the turkey salad which is awesome! The young kids working there are delightful - no attitude! The cream cheese spreads are delicious, and everyone's happy at home because there are so many flavor choices for the bagels themselves. Always fresh and have the right amount of chew.

I emailed and left a message a day apart for a large catering order, but they do not return messages or emails. Western Bagel got my business instead. Bummer.
Was passing by on an early Sunday afternoon and realized I hadn't really eaten yet, and was instantly hungry. Suddenly, a bagel seemed perfect and well, why not a bagel on an early Sunday afternoon? The place is decorated by college pennants and college basketball paraphernalia. While Westlake Village is not a college town, this bagel shop has a college town vibe mixed with a quaint old bagel joint in 1970's New York City vibe. Okay, nice. They have seats inside but also a nice outside terrace, shared with the burrito shop next door. I ordered a Christine's Creation-"Turkey Club" on an onion bagel. And it was tasty and freshly made. The avocado and bacon especially hit the spot. My only demerit is that the bagel sandwich was pretty diminutive along with being $12. Big bagel sandwich price for a tasty, but small, bagel sandwich. Hence 4 and not 5 stars. But again, it was tasty and fresh.

On an errand in Westlake we searched for breakfast sandwiches and found East Coast Bagel. Thought we'd pick up breakfast and then saw a large patio - added bonus so we could sit with our dog and eat. Little did I know this place typically has quite a line! I lucked out and got in line right at the doorway. Pretty soon there were 6-8 behind me. It took a while but the breakfast bagels were piping hot when we opened them and very good! Tip - order ahead and just walk in to pick up. We both got the Egg and Lox - a two egg omelette with lox, onions, and smear on toasted everything bagels. Delish. Worth standing in line, which went reasonably fast.

Excellent bagels and coffee, but not an option when time is of the essence. Line usually to the door (though they work very quickly) and no one answers the phones to take pickup orders.

As New Yorkers, we have found our perfect west coast bagel shop. We will definitely be back, and recommend for all to try! Perfectly toasted, and right amount schmear. Thank you!

I waited over 25 minutes, for a simple, melted cheese bagel. I kept asking them, what was wrong and they said that, melted cheese takes longer. Meanwhile, meals were being cooked, in half the time.
