Brooklyn Bagels - 2117 Beverly Blvd ( west of Alvarado) I think they are the Best bagels in Los Angeles. Soft and chewy on the inside and slighty crispy on the outside. I have been coming here for many, many years. Normal sized bagels here, not like Noah's which are humongous. I personally don't really like Noah's bagels that much anyway.
Tip - Monday Thru Friday from 3 to 5 pm, all bagels are half-priced (12 bagels, normally $7, are discounted half price to $3.50). These are bagels that were made that day, but not sold. Bagels last a long time once in the fridge, even longer when frozen.
