Outdoor seating is great for people watching while you have lunch. Everything is gluten free and so tasty. I had the Coconut French Toast Sticks with a French Toast Latte. Both were fantastic. They have restrooms. Parking structure is just across the street and a block north.

Modern Bread and Bagel Beverly Hills: Revolutionizing Gluten-Free Baking in Southern California
Introduction / Overview
For many in Los Angeles who follow a gluten-free lifestyle, finding a truly safe, delicious, and dedicated bakery can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Enter Modern Bread and Bagel, a unique and highly-rated bakery and cafe that has quickly become a standout destination in Beverly Hills. This establishment isn't just "gluten-friendly"; it operates as a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility, making it a crucial and safe haven for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivities.
Born from a personal journey—when the co-owner was diagnosed with celiac disease—Modern Bread and Bagel is on a mission to recreate the classic, comforting foods often missed on a gluten-free diet. Their specialty is a line of kettle-boiled Ancient Grain Bagels that customers rave about for their authentic texture and flavor, often compared favorably to their traditional New York counterparts. Beyond bagels, the menu is a celebration of all-day brunch, sophisticated pastries, and house-made spreads, all prepared fresh daily. They are also a nut-free facility, widening their safety promise to those with common allergies, and their products are Kosher.
In the heart of Beverly Hills, this bakery offers Californians a gourmet experience that proves gluten-free doesn't mean flavor-free. It’s a place where you can confidently enjoy a full breakfast, a hearty lunch, or simply grab a specialty coffee and a pastry for a quick visit.
Location and Accessibility
Modern Bread and Bagel is perfectly situated in one of Southern California's most iconic and desirable locations: 260 N Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, USA. This central location on North Beverly Drive places it right in the middle of upscale retail shops and steps away from the beautiful Beverly Canon Gardens, making it an ideal spot to pick up an order for an outdoor lunch or enjoy their available seating.
The cafe is committed to ensuring a welcoming experience for all patrons, featuring a wheelchair accessible entrance.
Parking in Beverly Hills can sometimes be a challenge, but the bakery is conveniently located near public parking options. For drivers, a public parking structure like the Beverly North Parking Lot (345 N. Beverly Drive) offers a significant benefit: two hours of free parking. This option is just a short walk away, making a quick stop or a leisurely brunch worry-free. Nearby parking structures are often described as being just across the street and a block north. While the bakery itself offers no dedicated free parking lot, the accessible and free public options are excellent.

What is Worth Choosing
For any Californian seeking exceptional gluten-free fare, Modern Bread and Bagel offers a menu rich with standout items that are simply unmissable.
If you're a first-time visitor, you must try one of their Ancient Grain Bagels, like the Everything Bagel, paired with a scoop of their house-made Chive Cream Cheese or the vegan Tofu Cream Cheese. This is the quintessential experience that showcases their mastery of gluten-free baking.
For a decadent brunch, the Coconut French Toast Sticks (DF) come highly recommended by regulars, praised for their rich flavor and unique preparation with coffee caramel sauce. If you prefer savory, the Avo And Smoke open-faced bagel is a Californian classic elevated with high-quality smoked salmon and fresh ingredients, though you can make it vegan by substituting the salmon for their house-made vegan lox and the bagel for their 5&5 bread. The Spicy Feta open-faced bagel, which includes smashed avocado, feta, fried eggs, and homemade chili crunch, is another popular and flavorful choice.
Don't overlook the bakery's pastry selection, as they have truly accomplished the seemingly impossible with classics like the Pain Au Chocolate and Chocolate Babka Slice. And to complete your order, explore the signature lattes. The Chocolate Babka Latte is a comforting, must-try beverage, while the Halva Houjicha Latte offers a unique, sophisticated taste that combines toasted green tea with honey tahina and vanilla.
Ultimately, what makes Modern Bread and Bagel worth choosing is the peace of mind. As a 100% dedicated gluten-free and nut-free space, it eliminates the anxiety of dining out for those with serious allergies, allowing everyone—from lifelong celiacs to those who simply enjoy incredible bread—to savor high-quality, artisan food in a beautiful Beverly Hills setting. It’s more than a bakery; it’s a destination redefining what gluten-free dining can be.

The best gluten free pastry and bagel I have ever had. The place is entirely gluten free so no anxiety for a coeliac. The pain au chocolat was some kind of witchcraft - actual buttery flakey layers that I thought I would never experience again since having to go GF. Reasonably priced, great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend for any coeliacs.
May 15 · Daniel DaviesI didn’t realise this place was gluten free but I did after my first bite. This sourdough was the worst bread I’ve ever had. The texture was awful and dry and the after taste was really weird. The only good thing was the egg. Vegan bacon (no normal bacon option) was impossible to bite into because it was so hard and really over seasoned was really unpleasant. This wasn’t helped by the absence of butter and sauce. Service was lovely but the food was honestly really bad. Maybe I should have got a bagel?
May 1 · AThis place is sooo good, bagels are delicious and the mood of the place itself is very clean and pleasing!! Our waitress was also lovely, keep up the great work
