Next Generation of Bagels

Calic Bagel was born from the founder's passion for the unique and delicious garlic cream cheese breads found in small Korean bakeries. Recognizing a gap in the American market for this innovative concept, the founder set out to introduce a fun and exciting way to experience the classic bagel.

As the innovator of the original stuffed bagel, we offer signature cream cheese fillings crafted to enhance every bite. Each stuffed bagel is dipped in our secret butter sauce, adding richness and indulgence. This unique approach sets Calic Bagel apart, creating an unforgettable culinary experience.

We've taken the best of both worlds—the time-honored tradition of Jewish bagel making and the innovative Tangzhong method from Asian baking—to create a bagel experience unlike any other.

What’s sets us apart:
LA style

Simple but powerful tangzhong technique involves cooking a portion of the flour with water before adding it to the dough.

The tangzhong method pre-gelatinizes the starches in the flour. This means your body can break them down more easily, making our bagels a gentler, more comfortable option.

  • Incredibly soft and chewy

    Tangzhong creates a texture that's both satisfyingly chewy and incredibly soft. It's like the perfect hug for your taste buds!

  • Stays fresh longer

    Our bagels retain moisture like no other, so they stay fresh and delicious for longer. Say goodbye to dry, crumbly bagels!

  • Gentle on your stomach

    The Tangzhong method makes our bagels easier to digest. So you can enjoy that extra bagel without any worries. (We won't tell!)
