Yes! Our bagels are naturally vegan, and we can provide plant-based spreads upon request.

If you are gluten-free, you can participate in the bagel making process, and when it comes time to eat we will prepare a store-bought gluten-free bagel that you can enjoy with the spreads and toppings.

The Midtown class takes place at Bagel Market, a working bagel shop that produces thousands of bagels daily. You'll be baking with commercial equipment, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how New York’s busiest bagel shops operate.
The Upper West Side class is held at Fairway Market’s 74th Street Café and uses home-style kitchen equipment, making it easier to replicate what you learn in your own kitchen.
