It's not the first time we've seen \"filled\" bagels however. Back in 2013, Bantam Bagels, which later rose to fame after an endorsement on \"Shark Tank,\" famously created small bite-sized bagel spheres filled with cream cheese.
Home cooks have been searching for the latest viral bagel sensation, with videos on the subject boasting over 44 million views on TikTok alone.
And for anyone outside of Southern California who can't get to Calic Bagel in person, hundreds of food creators have shared replica recipes to try at home.

Ingredients
Bagels
Cream cheese
Garlic powder
Fresh minced garlic
Fresh minced parsley
Butter
Directions
Using bagels from your favorite local shop, or the store, cut six equal size slits into the top rounded part of the bagel, but not too deep to cut through the bottom of the bagel.
Doctor up the cream cheese using flavorings of your choice, garlic, scallion, etc.
Make garlic butter by melting a stick of butter and combining garlic powder or freshly minced garlic and parsley with it.
Using a piping bag or zip-top plastic bag, pipe the cream cheese mixture into the slits in the top of the bagel.
Toss the stuffed bagel in the garlic butter mixture until completely coated.
Place on a parchment lined sheet tray and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Check early so as not to overcook.
Remove from the oven, serve and enjoy!
