Auburn Bagel Co. opened on Tuesday, bringing New York City-style bagels and a bevy of cream cheese and sandwich options downtown.
The shop is owned and operated by Auburn native Tony Daddabbo, who returned to his hometown after a 20-year, globe-trotting career as a restaurant consultant. The bagels are kettled and baked the traditional New York City way, he told 水果派AV last year, drawing on his experience working in renowned Manhattan shop Columbia Bagels.
On Tuesday, the shop's menu board advertised plain, everything, sesame, poppy, whole wheat, egg, onion, garlic, pumpernickel, cinnamon raisin and salt bagels. Cream cheese options include plain, scallion, veggie, walnut raisin, lox, plain tofu, veggie tofu and scallion tofu. Breakfast, lunch and specialty sandwiches are available as well, plus salads, soups, baked goods and beverages.
Daddabbo told 水果派AV there was a line outside the door before the shop's 6 a.m. opening. Located at 105 Genesee St., the shop stands in the same space as his family's pizza shop, Daddabbo's Pizza.
Auburn Bagel Co. is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays.聽
