These Are Hands-Down the Best NYC Bagels I’ve Ever Had — and They’re on Major Sale

I’ve always considered myself a bagel fan, but when I moved to New York City half a decade ago, my love for them went up a notch. How could it not? New York is famously known for its bagels — and if you’ve ever wandered through the city, you might’ve noticed that there seems to be at least one bagel shop on every other block. Maybe I’m slightly biased, but I bet most people who’ve enjoyed an NYC bagel would agree: They just hit differently here.

Naturally, bagels have become my breakfast of choice over the years — but I’ll admit that I sometimes just can’t force myself to wake up before work and make the journey to my neighborhood bagel joint. However, I’ve realized that I don’t have to deprive myself of the pleasure of a morning bagel after all, thanks to Just Bagels. After trying out the Bronx-based brand’s flavors at QVC’s Foodie Fest, I was hooked. Right now, they’re on sale at QVC for under $30, so it’s the perfect time to stock up!

These aren’t your average bagels that you can find at the grocery store. These bagels come straight out of New York City, offering the chewy and doughy texture that you’ll have a hard time finding anywhere else. This deal includes 18 kettle-boiled — which gives them that signature crisp exterior — bagels. With plain, everything, and blueberry available, you can go for the same flavor across the board or get six of each.

Regardless of which flavor you choose — you can’t go wrong with any of them, really — you’ll get an authentic taste of NYC shipped right to your doorstep. “When you have a bagel with no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, [and is] peanut-free, tree nut-free, kosher, non-GMO, boiled, aged … how could it be better?” Just Bagels’ founder, Cliff Nordquist, told us. “And made in New York? It’s quality goods. Not many people do those, very few — and you have to be in New York!” 

In the case of myself and our Commerce SEO Editor, Sarah Vazquez, it was love at first bite with these bagels. We’re especially fond of the Everything flavor, like Nordquist, who says that it’s his favorite out of all of Just Bagels’ offerings. They’re easy to bite into, and we ate them sans cream cheese and were still totally wowed. We’re not the brand’s only fans, either: Nordquist told us that the brand has sold over 32 million bagels at QVC in just five years.

Breakfast will become a much easier affair once you have these bagels stocked in your freezer all the time. According to a QVC shopper, the bagels arrive fresh at your door. “They arrive quickly and are well-packaged,” they share in their review. “Preparing them is easy too. All instructions are included.”

You also have the option of auto-delivery, so you don’t even have to lift a finger to replenish your supply. What’s more, QVC has a promo going on right now that’ll give you $15 off your order of $35, so you could add two bundles to your cart for under $40. Your breakfast will be covered for weeks, so that’s a total steal!
