WAKE AND LATE

The 13 Best Bagels In Los Angeles

"Wake and Late is one of those freaky perfectionist types. After they all but perfected the breakfast burrito, they decided to add sourdough bagels to their menu, and, well, they're nearly perfect, too. This DTLA window (with a Pasadena location) offers small “rip-and-dip” bagels that arrive warm in a bag, with a glossy, snappy crust and insides that are fluffy and moist with big air bubbles. True to their name, the bagels tear apart effortlessly, but more strangely, there’s also a minimum two-bagel order (which at $6 for two, we're fine with). Two dips are also included—we love combining the sweet caramelized onion bagel with the lox cream cheese, which has lemon zest, capers, and fresh dill mixed in." - sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder
