Modern Bread and Bagel

Finding a genuinely chewy, satisfying gluten-free bagel in New York is no small feat, but this Upper East Side bakery pulls it off by kettle-boiling their hand-rolled dough. The entire kitchen is celiac-safe and kosher, serving up loaded bagel sandwiches, all-day brunch, and a pastry case stocked with chocolate-glazed donuts and house-made pop-tarts. In the evening, the menu shifts to savory options like gluten-free pizza and cheese pizza sticks. Backed by friendly counter service, it offers a worry-free experience that stands up to the city's high bagel standards.
