Schmear-Topped Bagels and Nicely Boxed Cakes on Metropolitan Avenue
A long-standing Bronx family bakery serving fresh, schmear-topped bagels, flaky scones, and hearty sourdough loaves.
Why this stop works ✨
Zaro's Family Bakery keeps a small storefront on Metropolitan Avenue in the Bronx, where the draw is as much presentation as flavor. The cakes and desserts come out with detailed decoration and careful packaging, the kind you are proud to carry to a party.
The everyday side holds up too, with everything and sesame bagels topped with a generous schmear and scallion cream cheese, plus flaky scones and hearty sourdough loaves. Careful packaging on the cakes makes it an easy pick when you need dessert to travel well.
At 4.1 stars across 242 reviews, the crowd rates both the morning bagels and the celebration desserts. Come in for a bagel with scallion cream cheese and a scone, and order a boxed cake here when you need something that looks as good on the table as it tastes at the party.
