Full menu

Classic bagels

  • 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.
  • Everything bagelTopped with sesame, poppy seed, dried garlic, onion and coarse salt for a savory, crunchy crust in every bite.

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

  • Plain cream cheeseThick layer of whipped cream cheese; cool, tangy and the standard topping for a bagel fresh from the oven.
  • Scallion cream cheeseCream cheese mixed with plenty of chopped green onion for a mild, fresh oniony bite and flecks of color.
  • Lox spreadWhipped cream cheese blended with chopped smoked salmon, giving a salty, smoky spread without a full lox sandwich.
  • Vegetable cream cheeseCream cheese folded with finely diced carrot, celery, bell pepper and radish for crunch and a garden-fresh taste.
