Our bagels are made in a facility that uses milk, eggs, wheat, soy, sesame, peanuts, and tree nut ingredients. Our bagels are also made on equipment that processes tree nuts. Our stores prepare food in an open kitchen so the possibility for cross contamination exists for all allergens, including peanuts & tree nuts. Our store managers are Serv Safe trained and are aware of the sensitivities of our guests. If you have a high sensitivity to a specific allergen, please email CateringSupport@bagelbrands.com and discuss your concerns with our catering specialists who can note your order accordingly and work with the GM at the store that will fulfill your order. Our stores are willing to and will attempt to work with our guests to minimize allergen concerns.

For a list of the allergens and ingredients in our products please see our Nutritional & Allergen Information.

Unfortunately, we do not offer a gluten free bakery item at this time. Please email us at CateringSupport@bagelbrands.com so we can provide you with modification options.

Thank you for your generosity! We do offer the option to provide gratuity to our delivery drivers and/or store team. The standard amount suggested on our orders is 10% of the subtotal but this amount can be adjusted to match your preference. There is no obligation to provide a gratuity and our great service will not change based on the amount selected. When checking out on our website, when you reach the third “Review” page, it will leave the gratuity open for you to adjust how you see fit.

To account for tax differences, we pre-authorize 5% above the total amount of the order. However, you will only be charged the amount of your order. On the order date, the amount will be corrected and finalized to match the invoice. It may take a couple of days for your bank to update your account to the finalized amount.
