These Mail-Order Bagels Are Better Than the Ones from My Favorite NYC Shop — and They’re on Sale 

Finding a great bagel is easy in New York, but outside the city, it’s rare to come across one that compares to the crisp, golden-brown crust and chewy interior of a true NYC bagel. There’s something about New York’s bagels that makes each bite perfect — soft, pillowy, yet substantial. Living in Boston, I’ve only found one bagel stand that even comes close, and most of the time, they’re sold out! If you’re lucky enough to visit New York, grabbing a fresh bagel (and a slice of pizza!) should be at the top of your list. But for those who can’t make the trip, there’s an option that brings a taste of NYC right to your door.

Just Bagels, a kettle-boiled bagel company based in NYC, offers the authentic New York bagel experience I crave. Founded in the Bronx in 1990, the company has gained a devoted following for its delicious, preservative-free bagels with the same chewy texture and rich flavor you’d expect from a New York bagel shop. Even better, you can get them delivered nationwide through QVC, making it easier than ever to satisfy your bagel cravings. And right now, they’re on sale, so it’s the perfect time to stock up!

Just Bagels are authentically New York. Made with no artificial flavors or preservatives and kettle-boiled for the perfect chew that’s crunchy yet soft, and shipped fresh — what more could you ask for? There’s no need to hunt for the perfect bagel again! We spoke to the founder of Just Bagels, Cliff Nordiff, who says anyone who knows him knows that everything is his favorite flavor, but they’re all good. “When you have a bagel with no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, peanut-free, tree nut-free, kosher, non-GMO, boiled, aged… how could it be better?” He adds, “And made in New York? It’s quality goods. Not many people do those.”

The brand started selling on QVC five years ago, and it’s been a success ever since. These bagels come in a pack of 24 with flavor options including Plain, Sesame, or Nordiff’s favorite, Everything. Try them for yourself (at a discount!) to experience their mouth-watering taste and texture … they’re better than the ones from my favorite NYC shop!

“The bar for NY bagels has been set pretty low since I moved from NY. Bought these on a recommendation from a colleague. So happy. They’re delicious!” — jfer224

“After trying different bagels, I always come back to Just Bagels. For me, no other store brand bagel can replicate the Just Bagels taste and texture. I have lived down south for 27 years and cannot find bagels that have that New Jersey taste, except Just Bagels. Next best thing unless I move back to Jersey.” — Mickey846

“I have been receiving these bagels for over two years now and they are always the best. I keep one sleeve out and freeze the rest. If you love bagels, this is for you!” — johanne
