The Pop's Bagels Story

Welcome to Pop’s Bagels

Pop’s Bagels, like every great business story, arose from a problem in need of a solution. In 2017, after 6 years of living in LA and searching tirelessly for a bagel that hit the right note, Zach Liporace decided to take matters into his own hands, literally.  In his tiny Los Felix apartment, Zach started working on his own bagel recipe - something that married a soft, fluffy inside with that awesome, crispy exterior and just the right amount of chewiness.  With the bagel perfected, Zach needed a name for his new business and landed on Pop's to honor his late grandfather Arnold Midlarsky.  Pop was born and raised in Brooklyn and taught Zach all about NYC bagel culture whenever Zach visited (which was often).  Pop's began as a pop-up and catering business baking fresh bagels on-site all over Los Angeles so it didn't take long for word to spread quickly. Today, we are proud to be the leaders of the west coast bagel renaissance. Our heart will forever be in LA, but we are excited to show the rest of the world a thing or two about bagels!
