Full menu

Classic bagels

  • Cinnamon raisin bagelSwirled with cinnamon and plump raisins, lightly sweet and aromatic; best toasted with butter or plain cream cheese.
  • Pumpernickel bagelDark, rye-based bagel deepened with molasses, offering an earthy, slightly sour flavor and a tight, chewy crumb.
  • Egg bagelGolden-yellow bagel enriched with eggs for a softer, richer crumb and a faintly sweet, brioche-like flavor.
  • Plain bagelBoiled-then-baked ring with a shiny, blistered crust and dense, chewy interior; a clean base for any spread or sandwich.

Specialty bagels

  • French toast bagelSweet bagel brushed with cinnamon sugar and a touch of maple flavor, tasting like diner French toast in ring form.
  • Asiago bagelBaked under a crust of shredded Asiago cheese that crisps into lacy, sharp-tasting edges around the chewy ring.
  • Jalapeño cheddar bagelDough folded with diced jalapeños and baked under melted cheddar, bringing mild heat and salty, tangy cheese.
  • Salt bagelPlain dough heavily crusted with coarse pretzel salt; bold and briny, and especially good with a smear of butter.

Cream cheese & spreads

  • Honey walnut cream cheeseSweet cream cheese swirled with honey and chopped toasted walnuts; rich and crunchy, best on cinnamon raisin.
  • Strawberry cream cheesePink, fruity spread made with real strawberry pieces, light and sweet against a plain or blueberry bagel.
  • Tofu scallion spreadPlant-based spread whipped from tofu and seasoned with scallions and lemon; a dairy-free stand-in with a similar tang.
  • Whitefish saladSmoked whitefish flaked and mixed with mayonnaise and celery; creamy, smoky and a classic New York deli spread.
