Belle's Delicatessen & Bar
5022 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Belle's is a beloved Highland Park bagel destination where house-made everything from thick, spiced applesauce to inventive open-faced sandwiches (try the loxsmith for that perfect zesty-pickley punch) keeps locals lining up eagerly. The chewy, boldly-flavored bagels pair beautifully with craft cocktails like bloody marys, making it equally perfect for a quick morning grab or a leisurely brunch catch-up with friends. There's a welcoming, unpretentious vibe here that feels like discovering a genuine neighborhood gem rather than just another spot.”

I ordered an open face MCB on gluten free everything bagel with vegan cream cheese which was delicious. My husband ordered a white fish salad bagel on an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese which he enjoyed. We also ordered a generous side of pickles. The coffee was solid too. The interior is well designed and the booths offer cozy, private seating.
Just had the best latke I've ever had, paired with the most memorable apple sauce, thick and spiced, almost jammy in texture...I'll be back just for those alone! The open faced bagel with lox and crispy salmon skin was also a win, and the server was super friendly. So glad I stopped by!
Belle’s Bagels is a true gem! The bagels are perfectly chewy, with bold flavors and quality toppings. The lox sandwich is a must. Cool Highland Park vibe, worth the wait every time. 🥯🔥
Came for a weekday brunch fix to catch up with a friend and we both really enjoyed our bagels and bloody marys! I got the loxsmith (wonderful flavor, zesty and pickley) and he got the bacon egg and cheese (so cheesy and savory!). Both had great flavor and just the right about of crunch to softness ratio on the bagels. The bloody marys here are so good! They load it up with toppings. I got celery, baby gherkin (pickled mini cucumber), olives and a lemon slice. It was one of the best bloody marys I've had and it's super affordable! The service and ambiance is great too. Will be back soon!
Wow what a spot we discovered by accident . Walking around acne across this spot and after looking at the reviews we had to try ! The line was out the door but moved pretty quick. We ordered for the dine in - got two bagels . The vegan one with cashew cream cheese and beets and a regular bagel with beet cream cheese! Made fresh and it was delicious ! They put a good amount of cream cheese and the toppings are so nice and delicious ! Will definitely come back to try more ! !!
