Courage Bagels

Where To Eat When You're Visiting Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If you have a working internet connection and an Instagram account, chances are, you’ve heard of Courage Bagels. This small Virgil Village bakery pumps out bagels that are (gasp) even better than the ones made in New York City. Needless to say, a trip here should be at the top of your to-do list. The order-at-the-window spot specializes in denser, crispier bagels than what you might find in New York, topped with unique ingredients like salmon roe, heirloom tomatoes, handfuls of dill, or cucumbers that taste like they were picked that morning. Lines tend to get pretty long on weekends (we’re talking hour-plus), so either come right when they open or be prepared to wait." - brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
