5 Best Bagel Shops in Los Angeles (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Los Angeles isn't supposed to have real bagels, at least according to every transplant from New York who reviews these places. And yet the five bagel shops on this page have pulled in over 3,100 Google reviews between them, with ratings running from 4.4 to 4.7, tight enough that the real decision is about style, not quality: Montreal-style wood-fired, New York deli, or LA's own stuffed-bagel invention.

Short answer: Courage Bagels (4.4, 1,056 reviews) is LA's most-reviewed bagel shop, known for its Montreal-style wood-fired boil and bake. For a New York deli experience, The Bagel Broker (4.5, 716 reviews) draws repeat praise from East Coast transplants. Expect $1 to $30 per person depending on whether you're grabbing a plain bagel or a full sandwich with coffee.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually rated the shop, benchmarked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, since a high score on a smaller base carries different weight than one built on over a thousand reviews. Recency tracks how currently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much do bagels cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Price depends heavily on format. A single plain bagel is cheap almost everywhere, while a loaded specialty bagel or sandwich with coffee climbs fast, especially at the wood-fired and stuffed-bagel shops that lean into unique preparations.

Job	Typical price
Plain or everything bagel	$3 - $10
Loaded specialty or stuffed bagel	$9 - $23
Full sit-down meal with coffee	$20 - $30 per person

Ranges compiled July 2026 from customer-reported prices in Google reviews across the businesses on this page.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These five span East Hollywood (Courage Bagels), Beverly Boulevard (The Bagel Broker), Koreatown (Calic Bagel), the Silver Lake/Echo Park border (Maury’s), and Downtown LA (Marie’s Coffee Deli), covering a wide stretch of the city’s central neighborhoods.

What to ask before you order

What style is the bagel (Montreal wood-fired, New York, sourdough, or stuffed)?
Do they bake in small batches, and what time do they typically sell out?
Is parking available nearby, or is it street parking only?
Do they offer a full sandwich menu or just bagels and spreads?
What are the actual hours, since several of these shops close early or aren’t open daily?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these bagel shops?

We pulled real Google ratings and review counts for bagel shops across Los Angeles and ranked them by a blend of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026 and gets refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

What’s the difference between a Montreal-style and New York-style bagel?

Montreal-style bagels, like Courage Bagels, are boiled in honeyed water and wood-fired, giving a sweeter, denser, chewier result. New York-style, like The Bagel Broker, uses a plainer boil-and-bake method for a softer, larger bagel.

Is there an LA-original bagel style?

Calic Bagel markets a stuffed bagel format, with cream cheese baked inside the dough, as its own distinct LA-style creation.

The bottom line

Courage Bagels is the safe default given its review volume and the strength of its wood-fired Montreal style, but if you specifically want an East Coast deli bagel, go to The Bagel Broker instead. Get there early since several of these shops sell out or close by early afternoon.
