Bubbie's Bagel's Veggie Italiano

Tastemaker
June 15, 2024

This small but mighty bagel shop recently got a shoutout from The New York Times, and for good reason. Bubbie’s Bagels of Traverse City makes their bagels the old-fashioned way, with a sourdough base, a boil before baking (key for the perfect texture), and plenty of classic flavors. (And don’t miss their wide selection of cream cheese, including June’s schmear: Strawberry Balsamic.) Level up with one of their bagel sandwiches, which hit just right for breakfast or lunch. We recommend the newest addition to their lineup, the Veggie Italiano. Fresh, summery flavors abound with heirloom tomatoes, pea shoots, and banana peppers, plus veggie schmear and an Italian dressing made with Fustini’s Oils & Vinegars. Grab one at 1215 E Front St. in Traverse City. bubbiesbagelstc.com
