Original Bagels: Garlic Sesame (3pk)

Garlic and sesame bring a savory, aromatic finish to Violet’s classic East Coast-style bagel. Made for the person who wants more flavor than plain but does not need every seasoning in the cabinet, this combination is simple, balanced, and extremely versatile.

Sourcing & practices

Violet learned to make bagels after years of searching for the kind she remembered from childhood visits with her New Jersey grandmother. She continued making them for family and friends for years before launching Violet’s Bagels in 2023 and leaving her corporate career to pursue the business full time in 2024.

Her bagels are produced through a careful boil-and-bake method, with each batch requiring about two days from start to finish. They are made weekly to order and sold fresh the day they are baked. Violet sources thoughtfully, using a combination of organic and conventional, non-GMO, and traceable ingredients from family-owned, farmer-owned, and member-owned suppliers.

What to expect

A chewy bagel with the savory aroma of garlic and the nutty finish of sesame. It is flavorful without being overwhelming and works just as well with a simple spread as it does as the foundation of a full meal.

How to enjoy them

Spread with hummus and finish with fresh tomatoes and scallions—one of Violet’s own favorite combinations. They are also excellent with butter, savory cream cheese, eggs, avocado, or as the base for a lunchtime sandwich.
