PopUp Bagels Bringing East Coast Carbs To Brentwood

The triumphant return of the carbohydrate continues with its inexorable victory march across The Westside… There’s window paper up on the space at 11710 San Vicente Blvd in Brentwood declaring the impending arrival of PopUp Bagels. (Not to be confused with Pop’s Bagels just up the street.) They began as a backyard pickup window and have since spread to locations up and down the East Coast. PopUp Bagels has a simple goal: To offer “best, freshest bagels. No frills, plainly perfect: crispy crust and soft crumb center, just the right size and with a perfect proportion of seeds.” This new location, and another in La Jolla, appear to be the first on our side of the Country.

Hank’s Bagels Bringing Carbs Back To Brentwood

Everyone’s favorite breakfast staple, the humble bagel, appears to be having a resurgence after a dark period of carb avoidance. There are lines out the door at the hip outpost of New York’s H&H Bagels, also Layla Bagels, Pop’s Bagels, Sam’s Bagels, and others. Now a new contender is throwing its hat into the ring. A sharp-eyed reader (Thanks Blair!) noticed window decals up on the space that used to be the home of Yu Cake, at 11725 Barrington Ct in Brentwood, announcing the arrival of a branch of Hank’s Bagels. Hank’s Bagels has locations in Burbank and Sherman Oaks and offers a menu of a variety of handmade bagels, spreads, and sandwiches that you can read more about here.

Uncle Stevey’s Bagels Bringing East Coast Style Bagels To El Segundo

Congratulations Good People of El Segundo, carby goodness is heading your way!  There’s an awning up on the space at 213 Richmond St. in Downtown El Segundo letting us know that Uncle Stevey’s Bagels is moving in.  Uncle Stevey’s will offer a menu of classic and seasonal (think cheddar hot honey and rosemary garlic) East Coast style bagels that promise a “quintessential crunchy exterior and chewy interior”.  Looks like they’re shooting for a late Summer opening.
