You may have heard that you cannot get a good bagel outside of the New York area. There is something about New York water, so it’s impossible to make a good bagel anywhere else. We heard that too and the lack of traditional New York style bagels in Charleston seemed to confirm it.

​

A few years ago, we began to question this widely accepted belief and set out to determine if we could make authentic New York style bagels in Charleston. We experimented with the dough, the fermentation process, the alkalinity of the water, and every other variable we could think of. And we succeeded in making great bagels using Mt Pleasant water. In fact, we succeeded using any water we tried. New York may be the greatest city on earth, but their water is just plain old water. We learned that what was really important was using quality natural ingredients without harmful artificial additives and an adherence to a time consuming and exacting process with no short cuts or compromises.

​

We hope you will agree that we make the best bagels in the Charleston area. Don’t settle for bagels made without following all the steps required to make a good bagel or bagels shipped “fresh” from New York that are loaded with chemicals. Try our all natural, freshly made, traditional New York style bagels.
