The Best Reinvention of the Traditional Bagel Experience
Long before doors open at 7 A.M., the bakers at Bagels With Deli are already hard at work, preparing 14 varieties of fresh, scratch-made bagels, each crafted with old-world tradition. Alongside bagels, homemade bialys, flagels, muffins, rugelach and the iconic black and white cookies add to the tempting selection that emerges from the rotating oven each morning.
The menu features something for everyone, from hearty breakfast choices to signature corned beef, roast beef, pastrami and smoked fish. Guests can also enjoy made-to-order salads with freshly chopped produce, overstuffed wraps, power bowls and robust catering options for any occasion. Many of the recipes are cherished family traditions, passed down from generation to generation from Blooms Kosher Catering—the historic Detroit eatery that inspired the creation of the Bagels With Deli brand over 25 years ago—bringing guests the nostalgic dishes they love.
JC Gavilan, Head of Development at Bagels With Deli, shares, “We’re committed to honoring our founder’s family legacy while innovating and shaping spaces where guests enjoy delicious food and genuine hospitality.”
Since joining BWD’s original owner, Robert Bloom, in 2020, Gavilan has helped build on these core values to create welcoming restaurants where tradition, warmth and community come together.
“In collaboration with a talented design team, BWD has created upscale, contemporary bagel restaurants that appeal to both South Florida diners and New York bagel lovers. With four thriving locations in Boca, East and West Delray, and Palm Beach Gardens, the brand stays true to its founding promise: serving scratch-made favorites with love.”
