Our Story

 

The supermarket bagels just weren’t hitting the spot, so we took matters into our own hands…

 

After a lockdown filled with research, baking, tasting and discussions with some of the most famous bagel connoisseurs in the US, Bodega Bagels is finally ready to bring authentic, New York style bagels to Belfast!

 

We use traditional techniques to hand-roll, boil and bake our bagels to perfection – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Our everything topping and our cream cheeses (schmears) are also created in-house so we always strike the right balance of flavours.

 

We will have a standard weekly menu (we know you’ll keep coming back for the originals), but we like to play with flavours and seasonal ingredients too so keep an eye on our specials!

 

Why ‘Bodega Bagels’?

 

A ‘bodega’ is a term used for a corner shop or small convenience store in New York. Derived from the Spanish word for ‘storeroom’ or ‘wine cellar’. There are an estimated 14,000 bodegas in NYC alone! Many bodegas sell single bagels supplied by bakeries from across the state, usually in a display cabinet at the till point.
