New Employee Apr 21st, 2004
Wow! I just happen to click on this web site while not knowing I'd be reading your comments. Seeing that I'm going to be an employee of Goldstein's I have quickly formed my own opinion, of course address to the group who wrote about awful service. I can't deny what you experienced yet I can sympathize with bad service in general it can be annoying. Although I've never encountered this at Goldstein's I will reassure you that I don't intend to be rude or angry towards you…… Please ignore recommended dishes and ratings since I choose not to reveal that, only because I think it blurs the focus on what I'm trying to get across.

What the H you talkin about??? Oct 6th, 2003
I drive 50 miles round trip once a week for these bagels. I've been to dozens of bagel "shops" all over LA, from Arcadia to Westwood and all points in-between, and NOBODY comes closer to the true New York bagel than does Goldstein's, especially the Arcadia shop.
I was born and raised in the Bronx, lived in Queens as a youth, and lived in Brooklyn for 12 years until I came west. I know bagels, and these are they.
Seems to me that most of the reviews one finds on the web for Goldstein's are quite positive; where one would get the idea that Goldstein's is "suffering from a well deserved reputation" is beyond me. As for their bagels tasting anything like a "Lendel" (last time I looked, it was Lender's), maybe that's the problem: some people actually think that a Lender's bagel is what a bagel is supposed to taste like; and if you don't know that you have to pay to have butter or cream cheese on your sandwich, well, you need to get out more often!!!!!

Now relax and ess a bagel!!!!!

Pay Good Money For Lousy Food Served By Rude Incompetents Jun 15th, 2003
Until Goldstein's owners learn that hiring angry inept losers off the street is not the way to staff a sandwich shop, they will continue to suffer from their well-deserved reputation as a place to avoid at all costs. These people give "rude" a whole new meaning, and the food isn't much better. Stay away folks!

.50 cents for butter Jun 14th, 2003
Oh my gosh, 50 cents for butter on my bagel? They don't even have it on their board that there is a charge for butter or cream cheese. But there is a price of 2 cents to toast your bagel if you order more than 5. I don't expect to get anything for free, but 50 cents for butter on my bagel and $1.15 for 1 oz of cream cheese... I can get a pound of butter at the market for $2.50. I will not go there again.

Pricey, poor food Feb 19th, 2002
I went here twice because I had heard good things. Forget it. Not only was the service slow, when I asked for a glass of water (for my niece), the girl behind the counter refused me and was very rude. The bagels themselves tasted no better than a frozen Lendel bagel which you can pick up for 25 cents in any market.

I would not recommend this place to anyone.

A terrible experience Mar 18th, 2001
I have been here twice and both times the service was slow and the cashier very rude. The bagels were dry, tasteless and substandard. My drink was all ice and precious little liquid. Several of my friends have had the same experience here, and also at the Pasadena store: rude, brusque service and lousy food.
