Woodland Hills’ Modern Bread and Bagel, a 2022 LA transplant with its original location on New York’s Upper West Side, is quietly filling the void that Breadblok’s closure left for many in Los Angeles’s gluten-free community.

Doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, and even chocolatey Hostess-inspired cupcakes make an appearance in the display case; the kitchen slings loaded salmon bagels as well as breakfast sandwiches that can be made vegetarian and vegan as needed.

This shop is nestled in the middle of Hollywood’s post-production areas, where bakers prepare gluten-free cookies that sometimes land at after-parties for the Oscars or Golden Globes.
