Our Story

A Bagel Shop, A Simple Mission

In 1998, Bagels R’ Us opened its first location on Beach Boulevard with one mission: bring authentic New York-style bagels to Jacksonville. Every bagel is kettle-boiled in malt-sweetened water and scratch-baked in our stone deck ovens.

What started as a single neighborhood shop has grown into six locations across the city — Beach Blvd, Mandarin, Jax Beach, Beachwalk, Downtown Jacksonville, and Yulee, but our commitment to quality has never changed.

We’re a breakfast spot, a deli, and a coffee stop, all in one handcrafted bagels, breakfast sandwiches, deli classics, and freshly brewed coffee, made fresh every morning before we open the doors.

Whether you’re near the beach, in the heart of downtown, or out in Yulee, there’s a Bagels R’ Us close by. Order ahead for takeout or reach out for catering, we’d love to be part of your next event.

OUR JOURNEY

Our Process

How We Make Our Bagels

Six steps, no shortcuts. This is the process behind every bagel at every Bagels R' Us & Deli location — the same way it's been done since we opened on Beach Blvd in 1998.

Step 01

Kettle Boiling

Fresh-shaped bagels are scooped from a malt-sweetened kettle — the authentic NY method.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Our Values

Everything we do starts with a simple promise: make great food, treat people right, and never cut corners. These values have guided Bagels R' Us since day one.

THE TEAM

The People Behind
the Bagels

Great bagels don't happen without great people. Our bakers are in before sunrise every morning — mixing, shaping, boiling, and baking the same way we've done it since 1998. Many of our crew have been with us for years, and that continuity shows in every bagel that comes out of the oven.
