Los Bagels — Restaurant in Eureka

Los Bagels - Eureka, CA

Look, I wanted to like Los Bagels. I really did. Local joint, funky vibe, supposed community charm—check, check, and whatever. But the reality? It’s more like a crusty hipster shrine where overpriced mediocrity gets dressed up in avocado and self-importance.

Let’s talk bagels. If you’re gonna name your business after 'em, they better be bangers, right? Nope. These are barely passable—dry, flat, and lacking that chewy, satisfying bite that makes a real bagel worth carb-loading for. And don’t even get me started on the toppings. A schmear shouldn’t require a second mortgage, but here it feels like you’re being charged by the syllable. Wanna add lox? Hope you're cool with paying artisan prices for subpar slices.

The whole place reeks of Gen Z posch—kale vibes and moral superiority with every bite. Half the time I feel like I’m interrupting someone’s Instagram story just by ordering coffee. Speaking of which—yeah, the coffee sucks. Watery, burnt, and somehow still pretentious. It’s like a Starbucks employee had an identity crisis mid-pour.

Bottom line? Los Bagels is the kind of place that makes you miss greasy diners and boiled bagels that actually knew what they were doing. If you’re after authenticity and value, keep walking. But hey, if you want to spend $15 on a "world peace" bagel with a shot of condescension—this...

On January 23rd at noon I was introducing a friend to LB for the first time. I spoke of the cafe’s charm etc, however the staff was extremely rude and unfriendly, specifically 2 Caucasian girls. The shorter of the 2 was so rude we almost left. I was so embarrassed in front of my friend. Employees should be trained to greet patrons and to be attentive. We were not told about the self pour coffee. We were only given a paper cup. My friend was unsure of the protocol. After we sat I got up twice and I asked for my friend’s coffee but was totally ignored. The employee could’ve simply pointed to the coffee and said that it was self service but she looked at me and said nothing, although I asked in an appropriate moment of her attending to a customer, so I sat back down. The third time I asked I was directed by a male employee to the coffee station. We were made to feel that we were inconveniencing the employees. When our food was yelled out it sounded like the person was mad and annoyed, again embarrassing. Although I’ve been a patron since ‘84 and I like the food and ambiance I don’t think I’ll be going into the Eureka location anytime soon. This isn’t the first time eureka employees at LB have been grossly rude. Bad for business especially during a...

This is just MY OPINION try it for your self. but my wife and I were passing threw looking for good begals because my breakfast usually consists of just a simple everything begal toasted with cream cheese so figured we would go here and try some of the local flavor. I got here its really nice cafe style begal joint with a cool Aztec/latino style decor thought this was cool but anyways. I order my food they were really fast i ordered a jalapeno begal toasted with cream cheese toasted NOTE they did not have an everything begal through this was kinda weird to be honest but whatever. my wife ordered a parmasan begal toasted with cream cheese got it togo because we had alot of traveling for the day. FINALLY THE FOOD REVIEW lol we thought the begals were a little to grainy for our liking and the bad part the cream cheese was tart/sour which really threw us off and to be honest kinda made me feel a little sick. to the taste was kinda this super Dill or lemon taste that we thought was completely unnecessary but anyways good place good people not so great begals is the moral of the story here at Los Begals here in...
