Pop's Bagels Expanding In Culver City, Los Angeles

CULVER CITY, CA — When it comes to bagels, there's a rivalry between the East Coast classics and the new school, West Coast creations.

As the Los Angeles bagel scene grows in the pandemic, one baker has become even more popular: Pop's Bagels in Culver City.

Their mission is simple — make sure bagels don't suck in L.A.

Pop's pop-up is at the Platform at 8850 Washington Blvd., Culver City. The company now has plans to expand even more in 2021, taking over the former Alfred Tea Room in Brentwood at 11928 San Vicente Blvd.

In August, the group plans to open a new location near the Culver Steps, owner Zach Liporace told Patch. Expect even more menu items — more options and other pastries — and expanded outdoor seating. The group will also keep offering its homemade butter and cream cheese, with vegan cheese and gluten-free bagels coming soon, too.

Until then, Pop's will still serve up its light and chewy signature bagels at its pop-up location on Washington Boulevard.

Pop's even delivers to New York — or anywhere else with Goldbelly. Check out their plain, everything and cinnamon raisin bagels and visit their website.
