Calic Bagel
8.3
LA-style bagels using the Asian Tangzhong technique create an unusually fluffy, soft interior with a thin blistered crust designed for ripping and dipping. Founded by husband-and-wife team Alex and Sun Sohn in 2023 after their garlic bread kits went viral during COVID, they've built a following for stuffed bagels filled with creative cream cheeses and Korean-inspired schmears like Jeju tangerine and gochujang butter.

Signature Calic (Garlic Stuffed Bagel), LA Lox Sandwich, Habanero Calic
