At Breadwinner, the coffee is just as essential as the bagels. They brew old-school drip coffee, providing the rich, simple flavors of classic coffee without the fuss. This style of coffee is the ideal pairing for their fresh-baked goods, adding a nostalgic touch to your bagel experience. Breadwinner’s commitment to quality shines through in the simplicity and richness of each cup.

I tried the everything bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and red onion—my favorite bagel combo! The everything bagel was incredible, packed with flavor that perfectly complemented the cream cheese, smoked salmon, and red onions. They definitely don’t skimp on the fillings; each bite was generous and satisfying. The cream cheese was fresh and creamy, and the smoked salmon tasted high-quality and delicious. I’d give it a solid 9/10—a very fulfilling and tasty lunch!
Breadwinner hosts a bi-weekly Sunday Run starting from the shop at 9:30 AM. Runners of all levels are invited to join for a friendly jaunt around the neighborhood, followed by bagels and coffee for all finishers—a delicious reward and a great way to start the day.
With a passion for good food, a dedication to quality, and a deep connection to the community, Breadwinner is more than just a brunch spot. It’s a place to gather, to linger, and to enjoy the simple pleasures of fresh bagels and classic coffee.
