Classic housemade bagels with cream cheese, lox, and sandwiches
"Since 1953, Angelenos have lined up at Brooklyn Bagel Bakery for bagels by the dozen, hot and cold sandwiches, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. There’s a bagel for nearly everyone here, including a mozzarella-topped pizza bagel, a classic egg bagel, a chocolate chip bagel, and a rye bagel. While the bagels can stand on their own, make sure to try them in a sandwich with egg and cheese, lox, or topped with cheese and pepperoni." - Mona Holmes
"Brooklyn Bagel Bakery first opened in West Adams in 1953, and moved to Historic Filipinotown in 1965—making it the oldest spot on this guide by several decades. They operated as a wholesale operation for most of that time, but, after some, uh, structural issues and a subsequent rebuild, this bakery reopened in 2018 with a retail shop to sell their beautiful, blistery bagels. We like them best with a heavy-handed spread of garlic cream cheese, and a few capers sprinkled on top, so that the focus is on these dense, doughy, thin-skinned beauties." - sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder, cathy park

"Sometimes I wake up craving a bagel, and when I want an easy morning fix I head to Brooklyn Bagel Bakery. The longstanding, no-frills spot has classic fresh-baked bagels with toppings like cream cheese, bacon, egg, cheese, and lox; getting there early guarantees the best selection because bagels do sell out. Bagels are only $1.85 apiece, a basic bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is under $10, and there’s an order-ahead option if I’m in a rush." - Eater Staff
"Since 1953, Angelenos have lined up at Brooklyn Bagel Bakery. The Westlake shop’s menu is organized into three sections: classic, sweet, cheesy, and specialty. Pick up a dozen or nab a breakfast sandwich." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
