Best Bagels in Brentwood
Master Critic Review
Hank's Bagels (Brentwood)
7.7
A sourdough-forward bagel shop that sets itself apart from the New York-style pack with a distinctly chewy, tangy crust and in-house cured gravlax on the signature Number 3. The Brentwood outpost is the fourth location for a brand that launched in Burbank in 2019 and has steadily collected best-of nods across LA, though the counter-service pricing runs hot for what amounts to bagels and schmear.
Must-Try Dishes:
Number 1 (Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel), Number 3 (Lox & Veg Bagel Sandwich), Pretzel or Daily-Special Bagel

What makes it special: LA bagel mainstay bringing its sandwich game to Brentwood.
Who should go: Bagel-sando people who like big, savory builds.
When to visit: Mid-morning weekdays for the shortest wait.
What to order: Bacon egg & cheese; lox sandwich; a rotating special bagel.
Insider tip: Check the day’s special bagel/bialy before ordering.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking only — no dedicated lot. The Barrington Village strip has curbside meters; monthly parking is available within walking distance. Arrive early on weekends before meters fill up.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong options — the #4 sandwich (avocado, tomato, pickled onion, radish, salted cucumber, sprouts, vegan aioli) plus spreads like scallion cream cheese, vegetable cream cheese, honey butter, almond butter, and jam.
Vegan options: Most bagels are vegan (skip the cheese-topped ones). House-made vegan cream cheese, vegan aioli, almond butter, jam, and vegan potato salad available. The #4 sandwich is fully vegan as-is.
Best For
Better for: A quick morning grab — handmade sourdough bagels and solid sandwiches in a counter-service format. Great if you want a legit East Coast-style bagel without a sit-down commitment.
Consider Alternatives If: You need a guaranteed meal — they close at 2 PM or whenever they sell out, whichever comes first. Not the move if you're planning a late breakfast or want table service.
