ABOUT POPPY BAGELS
Poppy Bagels is a woman-run business that makes authentic, hand-rolled bagels inspired by California. This means we combine the best of what each coast has to offer. Our bagels have the taste and chew of an east coast bagel while using as many locally-sourced and high-quality ingredients as possible. We use organic flour, get our cream cheese from a nearby dairy, source many of our bagel toppings from a local spice shop, and often rotate in seasonal specials.
Our goal is to provide exceptional hospitality; both in service to our guests and to one another. We know that the hospitality industry can be incredibly difficult but also has the potential to be equally rewarding. Our hope is to build a team that works together to cultivate an environment where everyone can grow and thrive.
