Baby’s Bagels now available on Thursdays
If you’re already a fan of Baby’s Bagels, which were previously available only on the weekends, you now have an extra day to get your hands on them.
Now available on Thursdays as well, Baby’s Bagels are each hand-rolled and proofed overnight, and then boiled and baked, said co-owner Koby Elias.
Pick them up at the Baby’s Bagels popup shop in the old Canella’s restaurant space at 204 E. 500 South, Salt Lake City, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. The bagels are also available at Liberty Heights Fresh on the same days, at the Murray Farm Bureau Market on Fridays, and at the Downtown Farmers Market on Saturdays.
You can also reserve your bagels ahead of time and then pick them up later by subscribing to email alerts at BabysBagels.square.site.
Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, bagels are available in plain, everything, sesame, poppy seed and salt, with spread options including plain, scallion and some seasonal specials. All of the bagels are made with organic wheat milled in Utah.
