The Bagel Factory — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I have a weakness for a freshly baked bagel made with integrity and love, lightly toasted, with a creamy and fluffy 'shmear' spread in between. I don't spoil myself with bagels but when I fulfill my craving every so often it's gotta be done right. There aren't many bagel shops in LA but there are some great bagels if you search for it.

Update: 21 June 2025 - Second picture purports to be a raisin bagel as well. Hadn’t been back in a while so hoped for a better outcome and actual raisins in the raisin bagel. As you can see, not one raisin in sight. I think they should label them raisin-flavored bagels. Ah well, there won’t be a third trip to the store.
