Village Bagel began humbly at home in 2016, one dozen at a time, and quickly turned into the only traditionally prepared bagel operation in Eagle County.
“We aren’t focused on competing with our preservative-packed, shelf-stable opponents in grocery store aisles which bare little resemblance to the bagels of our childhoods on the East Coast. We start with only six ingredients and develop flavor over time. We then hand roll each bagel (so no two look the same). Finally, we honor tradition by boiling the bagels before baking them, creating a chewiness on the inside and a crust on the outside to which no grocery store bagel can compare.”
When Connie was visiting family back in New York in the Fall of 2016, enjoying all of her favorite childhood foods, she felt compelled to finally trust her intuition and open up the kind of bagel shop where she spent most weekends as a kid.
