Forest Hills, Queens

Every bagel we shape carries decades of know-how — nothing less, nothing rushed.

Hand-rolled, boiled, and baked fresh each morning at our Forest Hills bakery. We don't cut corners, and you can taste the difference in every bite.

Our Story

A bakery built on patience, tradition, and a really good dough recipe.

Jerusalem Bagels started with a simple conviction: a bagel is only as good as the hands that make it and the time they're willing to give. We learned the craft the old way — by watching, by doing, and by getting it wrong until we got it right.

Today, every bagel that leaves our kitchen at 108th Street follows the same rhythm it always has: a long, slow fermentation, a quick boil, and a bake until the crust sings. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just honest bread made the way it should be.

The Craft

The process is the product.

There's no way to speed up a good bagel. Here's what goes into every single one.

01

Mix & Rest

We blend premium flour, water, and a touch of malt, then let the dough rest slowly so the gluten develops properly.

02

Shape by Hand

Every bagel is formed individually — no machines. The shape matters for texture, and our hands know the difference.

03

The Boil

A quick dip in simmering water sets the crust and gives bagels their signature chew — golden and glossy every time.

04

Bake & Serve

Into the oven until deep golden, then out onto the rack. Fresh bagels are ready for you the moment you walk in.
