About
Organic because we should be, not just because we can.
Our hand-made, 48-hour, fermented bagels have won internal New York Times tasting competitions and, whenever we can, our ingredients are sourced from local shops in Northern California. If we don't make your favorite bagel, it's because you haven't had one yet.
Our crunchy, dense bagels can be found in grocery stores, cafes, and corporate offices around the Bay Area.
