About
Bagel Broker is a small family owned company that pays particular attention to detail wether it be in the creation of our food or in our customer service. We are well aware that we would not be in business after 32 years if we did not focus everday on what brought about our success, the quality of our food and our attention to our customers needs.
I love making food wether it be our bagels or some of the more specialized catering that we do. Bringing people together to enjoy a good meal brings me joy and something I have been doing since I would make weekend breakfasts for my mother growing up.

Find someone you feel comfortable working with that you believe cares as much about his or her business as you do about the event you are catering.
