Some Of The Extra-Ordinary Bagel-ish Options
Portuguese Sea Salt Bagel
Adding a little spunk to the artisan bagel, we sprinkle it with natural sea salt from the Algarve region of Portugal.
Whole Wheat Everything Bagel
The bagel has it all. Depth of flavor, high fiber, and an amazing texture with a crispy exterior (crust) and a light & chewy interior (crumb), topped with our proprietary everything seasoning. (Special, not available every day)
Rosemary & Extra Virgin Olive Oil Bagel
There’s a little bit of Italian in all of us. Reminiscent of focaccia, with a chew and a crisp.
Aleppo Pepper & Extra Virgin Olive Oil Bagel
This pepper is sourced from Turkey, but originates in Aleppo Syria. They blend it with extra virgin olive oil and top before baking, leaving a kick of a spice in the after notes of the bite. For those who like to turn the heat up, pair this bagel with their jalapeño & garlic cream cheese.
Everything Bagel
Bursting with flavor, this sourdough everything bagel is covered with a unique blend of whole sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onions, dried garlic and salt.
Za’atar & Extra Virgin Olive Oil Bagel
A bagel with a Middle Eastern flair. The Za’atar is imported from Lebanon and made with pure wild thyme (za’atar), sumac, sesame, and salt. Blend it with extra virgin olive oil, drizzle it over the sourdough bagels, and bake to perfection.
Cheddar & House Pickled Jalapeño Bagel
A meal in itself. This bagel has sensational flavor with house-pickled jalapeños and Wisconsin cheddar cheese.
