FAQ

Do your bagels contain dairy, egg, or honey?
No.  Our bagels are vegan.

Are your bagels gluten-free?
No.  Our bagels use hi-gluten flour.  We have tried to make a gluten-free bagel and have failed miserably each time.  The gluten is what gives bagels their chewy bagel-like consistency.

Why are all of your bagels a different shape?
We hand-roll our bagels.  This is what gives them their authentic, artisan look and taste.  If you're comparing our bagels to other places whose bagels all look exactly the same, their bagels were probably made by a machine (not hand-rolled).  In our opinion, a bagel that isn't hand-rolled isn't a real bagel.

What's on your Everything bagel?
Sesame, poppy, onion, garlic, salt

Do you make Cinnamon Raisin, Blueberry, Whole Wheat, or Pumpernickel bagels?
No.

Do I have to eat all the bagels the same day I get them?
No.  You can freeze them the same day you get them and enjoy them later.

What's the best way to reheat your bagels?
- Freeze the bagels you don’t eat today in a freezer bag (do not slice).
- Pre-heat oven (or set toaster oven) to 340°(F).
- Bake unsliced, frozen bagel for 12-14 minutes.
- Let bagel cool for a bit before slicing.
- Enjoy!

Why Our Challah

Made from scratch, our kosher challah is the perfect addition to your Shabbat dinner or any special occasion.  In the event you don't gobble it all down on the first day, turn it into Challah French Toast later!

We've done an embarrassing amount of taste-testing to make sure our challah is as good as it can possibly be.  We hope you love it as much as we do.

Choose from regular or jumbo sizes, in either plain, raisin, or vegan plain.  Regular size is a little less than a foot long.  Jumbo size is about 15 inches long and twice the overall size of a Regular challah.

Handcrafted Challah Board

This unique Challah Board was handcrafted in Annapolis, MD, from quality wood, a mix of Maple, Cherry, and Mahogany. The Hebrew words of Hamotzi (The blessing for the bread) are engraved on the board. In order to preserve the quality and beauty of the wood, it is finished with mineral oil and Candelilla Wax.

This Challah board is an excellent gift for weddings, Jewish holidays, anniversaries, housewarmings, or any occasion. 

Due to the nature of the wood, each board is unique and may have slight variations in color and grain from what is shown in the picture.

The size of the board is approximately 15.5” x 10” x 0.75”.

To clean the Challah board, wash it by hand with liquid soap, wipe it with a dry cloth and let it air-dry on its side. Periodically, recondition the board with mineral oil or cutting board oil. Do not submerge the board in water for a long time or place it in a dishwasher. Doing so will damage the board.
