Full menu

Classic bagels

  • Poppy seed bagelRolled in blue-black poppy seeds that give a subtle, earthy flavor and a pleasant pop against the glossy crust.
  • Onion bagelTopped with dried onion flakes that turn sweet and lightly charred in the oven; a natural match for lox and cream cheese.
  • 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.

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

  • Vegetable cream cheeseCream cheese folded with finely diced carrot, celery, bell pepper and radish for crunch and a garden-fresh taste.
  • 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.
