The buzz

You may have already seen us.

The Bagel Nook didn’t build its following by making ordinary bagels. We built a brand people talk about, photograph, share and come back for.

The difference

NOT JUST ANOTHER BAGEL SHOP.

A differentiated brand in one of America’s most familiar food categories.

01

Craveable

Signature bagels, insane, sandwiches, Overloads and creative cream cheeses give guests something they won’t find at the typical neighborhood bagel shop.

02

Shareable

Products designed to be photographed, shared and talked about help attention travel far beyond the four walls.

03

Repeatable

Breakfast, lunch, coffee, catering, takeout and digital ordering create more reasons to visit — and a daily repeat customer who makes the Nook part of their routine.

04

Scalable

A support system designed for qualified owner-operators and experienced multi-unit groups.

60%

of franchise locations are multi-unit operated*

One of the strongest signals is when existing operators choose to grow with the brand.

Since 2015

We’re not new to this.

The Bagel Nook started in Freehold, New Jersey with a simple idea: change what people thought a bagel shop could be.

Micro-batch cream cheeses and unconventional bagels led to signature Overloads, national attention and a growing footprint. The spirit stays the same: make something guests can’t wait to show someone else.
