Hmm -- lo those many moons ago when I did some work at
USC, there was a place not too horribly far away that my
friends and I used to go to where you pushed in a shopping
cart and stocked up on bagels from enormous bins.  The
Bagel Factory?  The mists of time, I'm afraid, obscure the
name in this case ...

Up this way in Pasadena, I usually get mine from Goldstein's.
They're not too terribly bad.

Try Western Bagel. In West L.A., their shop is on Santa Monica Blvd, about 2
blocks east of Bundy. Their main shop is on Sepulveda Blvd 1 blk S of Raymer
in Van Nuys.

You can get a pretty good bagel and excellent espresso coffee (I haven't tried
their regular coffee) at the Daily Bread and Bagel in Manhattan Beach.  It is
located between Highland and Manhattan Ave. on Manhattan Beach Blvd. (south side
of the street).  It is in a little strip mall in the lower level so it is a
little hard to see from the street, but it is definitely worth checking out.  I
love the place.  They opened about 6 months ago.

I know how you feel.  I was on the east coast for 4 years.

The best I've had around here is Western Bagels.  Some super-
markets carry them, but they're not the same as the ones you
get at a Western Bagel store.  You definitely want to visit
one of their stores.  There are many in the SF Valley area.
I know they have some on the West side.  You should be able
to find one in the South Bay, because they even have one
here in Orange County (in Tustin).  I rate their bagels even
better than most (say 80%) on the East Coast (NY, Boston).

They also have their own cream cheese, and it's great.
Obviously, you can find lox, too, there.

	I & Joy bagels (Pico near Beverly Dr., perhaps other locations)
	is about the best you'll get in LA.  Little grungy hole in the
	wall places that bake them right there.

Alas, Daniel is reflecting his being a native of L.A..  Western Bagel is
awful - their bagels have a decent flavor but the texture is way off.

I and Joy is about the best one can find, without doing it themselves.
And they even have onion pletzels some of the time.

There's one on Pico just east of Glenville and I think there are two other
branches.

And they recently opened up a branch on PCH in Redondo Beach.
