One of the Bay Area’s Most Lauded Bagel Shops Is Expanding to Los Angeles

Boichik Bagels.

Los Feliz is getting a new bagel shop by way of the Bay. Boichik Bagels, which has six locations in Northern California, including Berkeley and Palo Alto, is planning its first location in Los Angeles. The bakery is currently in the process of securing a lease and has not set an opening date yet. Recently, Boichik also announced its first three locations in San Francisco.

The Berkeley-based bagel maker makes some of the Bay Area’s most highly lauded bagels, which have also recently become available in the Erewhon frozen section. The Bay Area locations offer a classic selection of fresh-baked bagels including everything, egg, and salt, plus lox sandwiches, and more. In the past few years, Los Angeles’s bagel scene has exponentially grown with the addition of shops including Layla’s, Courage Bagels, and Uncle Stevie’s. The arrival of Boichik will just add to LA’s outstanding options as a bagel town.
