About us

As long-time Brooklyn residents returning to the city after the pandemic, we learned that the owners of our local bagel shop were retiring. We’ve been passionate home-bakers our entire lives, delighting in braiding challah and cold proofing brioche, and wanted to breathe fresh air into this community mainstay on a historic corner where Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill meet.

After twenty years in community-based storytelling, publishing, and organizing, we thought what better way to build community in our neighborhood than to feed people?

We’re making sure our neighborhood has the best classic bagels Brooklyn is known for. We mix, hand-roll, and kettle boil our bagels in house every single morning - perfecting a bubbly golden crust and chewy interior like the bagels we ate as kids.

Our kids go to school in the neighborhood, so we’re are here for the long haul and hope to turn Atlantic Bagels into your home away from home. If you need community meeting space, a bag of bagel sandwiches and fresh-squeezed juices to take to the waterfront, or a place to meet your neighbors, come on in and say hello!
