Announcing Bowery Old Town Bagels, A New Line Of Kosher Bagels

Portland, Oregon’s favorite bagel and schmear shop Bowery Bagels, is now making their bagels available to shoppers in the bread aisle of local grocery stores throughout the region! Bowery Bagels’ new line of shelf stable bagels, called Bowery Old Town Bagels, is now available at Whole Foods Markets.

Bowery Old Town Bagels are made in Bowery’s kosher-certified facility in Portland’s Old Town neighborhood, within Madigan’s culinary incubator space, KitchenCru. Like the bagels sold at the Bowery Bagels shop, Bowery Old Town Bagels will be authentic, New York style boiled bagels; the only difference is the addition of a natural enzyme to help keep the packaged bagels fresh for up to five days.

Bowery Bagels are already wildly popular in local coffee shops and groceries, and to be able to access this new line from Bowery in the bread aisle is exciting news for the dedicated fans of the New York style bagel. Bowery Old Town Bagels will come in plain, everything, and an assortment of plain, poppyseed and sesame flavors, and sold in packages of 6 that will be available for purchase in Whole Foods Markets in the greater Portland, OR area.

Brooklyn, N.Y. native Michael Madigan is owner of Bowery Bagels and heads a burgeoning culinary empire in Portland, Oregon.
