As a resident of Santa Monica, I am so happy Modern Bread & Bagel opened on the west side. It’s totally GF and everything I had is delicious. It’s so awesome to be able to get GF challah. They have specials every month. It’s just nice to be able to get a bagel and cream cheese whenever I want!

Absolutely amazing. Bagels are incredible and so is rugelach. Can't wait to go back. This is a real gluten free bakery or at least how they should all be.

AMAZING!! My non gluten free friends said they couldn’t taste a difference. Best coffee I have ever had too! Cookie was amazing and chewy. Zucchini bread was moist and amazing. I would avoid the rugelach.

The best bagel of my gluten free life-- same density and texture as the "real" bagels I remember from bc (before celiac), easy contactless ordering and pick up, and friendly staff when you want or need the contact. The sticker price of $3.25 per bagel was shocking and disappointing, but in the end I paid it (6x over) because, well, best bagel ever!

Yummy bagels, java & sweet treats! I enjoyed the Farmer’s Garden on an Everything Bagel, coconut milk latte & slice of double chocolate zucchini bread. The veggies were fresh & I loved the crispy capers on the my bagel. The java was perfect and chocolate zucchini bread was moist & decadent.

I might’ve cried (tears of joy) a little bit when I walked into this gem. I haven’t had a bagel in 25 years and was blown away by the delicious bagel, cupcake, and dirty chair latte I had. Happy belly!!

The bagel and latke tots were very very good. The guy in front of me does not normally eat gluten free. He took a bite of his bagel and was surprised how good the taste and texture were. He said he would absolutely eat there again.

Staff was friendly and quick.

I went with non-celiac family who said I should double check that it was actually gf because of how similar to regular bagels they were. This place had delicious food and the bakery case had so many options I haven’t seen gf before. I definitely recommend!

I guess it’s like the fight club, where we don’t talk about it, because there’s no messaging that things are gluten free. I asked and it is, but ask if you want! The bagel is delish, closest thing to the gluten wheat bagels I miss .

One of my favorite gf spots. We are there multiple times a week. By far the best gluten free bagel out there. My non-celiac family even loves their bagels. You also must try their cinnamon rolls.

I literally cried when I learned my favorite NYC gluten free bakery was coming to my new home in Santa Monica. Unrecognizably gluten free. For celiacs and NY transplants - you get the benefit of both the universe delights on the menu and the quality bagels uniquely offered in NYC.
