FAQs
What makes a Bagel Boss bagel an authentic New York bagel?
We stay true to traditional methods by kettle-boiling our bagels and baking them fresh throughout the day. This time-honored process creates the unmistakable texture and character that has defined the real New York bagel since we started in 1975.
How long has Bagel Boss been in business?
Our first location opened in Hicksville, New York, in 1975, but our heritage goes back much further. Our recipes and techniques have been passed down through five and six generations of family bagel bakers.
Are the bagels at locations outside of New York still authentic?
Absolutely. Our bagel dough is crafted in New York to ensure quality and consistency, then shipped to our locations across the country to be baked fresh on-site daily.
Do you offer more than just bagels?
While the bagel is the foundation of everything we do, we also offer a full appetizing spread including house-made cream cheeses, smoked fish like lox and whitefish, fresh-brewed coffee, and a variety of bakery favorites.
Can I bring the Bagel Boss experience to my own neighborhood?
We are always looking to grow our family. If you are interested in opening your own location, you can learn more about our opportunities through our franchise portal.
Can I get Bagel Boss bagels delivered if I don't live near a location?
Yes, we offer nationwide shipping through Goldbelly. We make it easy to enjoy a taste of New York no matter where you are in the United States.
