Pop's Bagels

Light without weighing you down, and fully embracing simplicity, Pop’s Bagel’s are some of the best and most unique in the L.A. bagel scene. You’ve only got five choices at Zach Liporace’s bagel shops in Culver City, Brentwood and Fairfax—plain, everything, sesame, poppy or cinnamon raisin—but with execution this strong, you won’t be missing the bells and whistles of some of the more modern, spice-flecked concoctions popping up around town. Always served hot, the insides are practically pillowy, slightly melting the straightforward, housemade cream cheeses upon impact.
