IMHO best bagels in Los Angeles! The original Western Bagel bakery is located on Sepulveda and Stagg (take-out only) - not too far from Chez Vive. Great for grabbing freshly made bagels and schmears - bring it back and have breakfast in bed! Or try this location on Ventura Blvd., it has indoor/outdoor seating. Enjoy!

Shopping

The Village at Topanga is one of the last open air malls. It's very new and a nice place to grab some lunch or shop. And if you need even more retail therapy, there is a free shuttle that runs between The Village and Westfield Topanga (located across the street).
