Our Story

A New York Tradition

Since 1986, Howard Beach Bagel Cafe has been crafting bagels the old-fashioned way — hand rolled, kettle boiled, and baked fresh daily in our stone deck ovens. Every single bagel is shaped by hand, never machine-made.

We use only Philadelphia cream cheese and Boar's Head meats — no shortcuts, no compromises. From our famous hand-rolled bagels to gourmet sandwiches, chopped salads, and catering platters — we have a menu that caters to a world of different appetites.
