Company Overview
bagels + schmear is a lockdown success story Starting in 2020, with our founder Francesca baking New York-style bagels from her mother's kitchen after having the realisation that no one was doing bagels in the UK the 'proper New York way'. New York-style bagels are different to the bagels you find in the delis in and around London – they are crisp on the outside, pillowy and fluffy on the inside. Starting merely as a side hustle alongside her full-time job, she took bagels + schmear full time, opened up a bakery in Radlett, Hertfordshire + now supplies some of the most prestigious hotels, cafes, restaurants and shops in London.
