Los Bagels - Arcata

I drove 26 hours from Idaho for these bagels that I remembered from my childhood. They did not disappoint & are even better than I remembered. I ended up getting almost one of everything of their baked goods and was happily surprised because I loved them all. I also got a beautiful mug that is MASSIVE for only $28 and they filled it with a free drink of my choice (try the Mexican Hot Chocolate). The vibes are immaculate to just chill here for even eat on the patio area and appreciate the mural/artwork.

Love this place! Fresh food, awesome area and super cool vibe ☮️ The street picture is no longer accurate of the layout. They have converted the left side parking lot into outdoor seating. This really makes for an inviting place to chill if you are not sitting in the equally as inviting inside. Grabbed an everything bagel with creme cheese. Everything was fresh, simple and spectacular! For sure check this place out during a morning grind session. You'll love everything about it especially the staff.

Yesterday was the Fourth of July Jubilee in the plaza, an event that could have produced immense amounts of waste if beer was served in plastic cups and all the food on disposable plates. Instead, beer was served in reusable restaurant-style cups and some food vendors used reusable restaurant-style plates. This choice allowed for the community to have a great day of music, food and fun without the cost of thousands of disposable cups and plates entering landfills and lining our streets. Los Bagels saved our community from all that waste. With so many more people than dishes, those cups and plates needed to be cleaned and sent back out and Eddie and the crew at Los Bagels took on the task of dish washing an event they didn't even have a booth at, while maintaining the workload of holiday traffic at their restaurant. Because of their kindness and their effort, our community enjoyed a holiday celebration, good beer and good food while reducing the negative impact such events can have on the planet. Los Bagels makes damn good food, they even have vegan options for weirdos like me. They're talented people who care about our community. They're kind individuals who are willing to take on more than they have to for the betterment of others. They blast MF DOOM on the speakers, they hook you up with great coffee and we are so lucky to have a quality restaurant staffed with quality individuals. Thank you to every Los Bagels employee who put in more work than they had to. Thank you to Eddie for being an incredible leader. If ever I am hungry, you can find me in line at Los Bagels, 5 stars doesn't begin to tell you just how wonderful this place is. It's neat you exist.

We did not stumble across this place by accident. A friend knew we were going up north and asked if it was not too far out of the way if we could pick up some of the mustard sauce this place is locally known for. Since it was about lunch time anyway we decided to eat here. Staff was friendly the food was amazing and the vibe was chill. They also carried my new favorite caned drink Armless Palmer and Reed’s “strongest” which I had never seen before and very excited to try. Back to the food, they didn’t it hold back on the fixings of the Izzy’s Guac & Lox. I will definitely need to thank my friend for the stop.

Gem worth checking out if you’re in the area - I got the Cucubin pictured below, the slug (long everything bagel) w cucumber, cream cheese, larrupin (mustard-y sauce) and slug sauce (everything seasoning) It was so good, layered really well so you get all the flavors in each bite. Pastry was great as well, and the wonderful girl on counter was a help in answering all my questions and making reccomendations. I would for sure come back here if I was in Arcata or Eureka area again.

Stopped here on our way up the coast and omg. The Thai bagel (peanut butter, cucumbers, carrots, scallions, sesame seeds, jalapeño jelly) is amazing and unlike anything I’ve ever had before - perfectly crunchy, spicy, and has a hint of sweetness with the jalapeño jelly. My husband got the lox and said that was amazing, too! We also got coffee (delish) and some cookies (the lime corn and snickerdoodle are seriously delicious). Will definitely be back!!
