Bloomington Bagel Company Downtown

Bloomington Bagel Company calls itself downtown Bloomington's first and only scratch bagel bakery, and says it has been locally owned since 1996, using recipes from New York City. Its bagels are made from flour, water, malt, yeast and salt, proofed for 48 hours, then hand boiled and baked in a stone hearth oven. The Dunn Street shop is at 113 N Dunn St in downtown Bloomington.

The menu runs from plain, everyseed and pretzel bagels to cheddar jalapeño, blueberry and a gluten-free plain. Signature bagelwiches include Lotsa Lox, Wake and Bake and a Reuben.

The Dunn Street shop offers dine-in, takeaway and delivery. The online store takes pre-orders for pickup here. The company also caters groups of any size. Its location pages say all stores are open seven days a week, so check the site for current hours.
