    Bagel Broker is such mediocrity… or “mid” as those younger than I would say. Truly baffled at how many people throw this in the ring for best bagel in the city.

    Happy to see NY Bagel & Deli on the list. Was literally driving my friend home yesterday telling her how much I love the bialys and bagels there.

    Manhattan Bread and Bagel is great for those in the South Bay.

  4. Modern Bread and Bagel should absolutely be on here.

  5. Courage Bagels, too legit. Not sure how it’s not on this list when it’s the best bagel in LA.

    What the fuck kind of list is this? Who is paying who?

  7. I like Sam’s. Toasted. Freeze well. Almost always with butter because that is what the kids like. Fish from a lot of places.

    fun fact: white fish bones and skin plus shrimp shells makes absolutely perfect fish stock for some reason.

    I go to Brooklyn Bagels because it’s walking distance. I have to face 5 min of traffic to get to Courage, but it’s great.

    This list lost all credibility with The Nosh. The Nosh was great when I was a kid but then a new owner took over and its been trash ever since.

    The Bagel Factory (2 west LA & 1 Torrance) has the BEST everything bagel.

    I’m going to stick up for Western Bagel. I won’t argue for it being the best bar none bagel, but it’s the best bagel you can get in a grocery store. It’s the best chain bagel. We’ve got the factory in Van Nuys, and you can get fresh bagels past midnight. I love Western Bagel.

  12. Glad Hank’s made the list. Best since NYC for me. Super nice people, too.

    Can I get some love for Western Bagel in the chat??
