Well, they really pulled a rabbit out of a hat… After two years, ambitious B&T’s Deli abruptly closed up shop on April 30 at 912 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica. By some miracle, cult-fave carb purveyor Pop’s Bagels has not only managed to move in but are planning to open today (Friday, May 15). Pop’s Bagels has four other LA locations and is well-known for long lines and bagels described as “fluffy, crispy, and perfectly chewy”. With equally culty H& H Bagels just a block away, and Sam’s Bagels a little over a block in the opposite direction, Montana Ave is turning into something of a carb capital.
