Hey there, bagel lovers! If you’re anything like us, the thought of a warm, fresh bagel gets you up and out of bed in the morning. Well, we’ve got some fantastic news for you. A new bagel spot, Bears Bagels, has just opened its doors in Hilliard, and it’s already becoming the talk of the town. Let’s dive into why this place needs to be your next breakfast destination.
Meet the Bagel Gurus: Charis and Lo Yost
Bears Bagels is the brainchild of Charis and Lo Yost, who started this venture back in 2022. Their love for bagels blossomed during the pandemic, and they decided to turn that passion into something tangible.
They’ve mastered the art of making bagels the traditional way: resting the dough for 24 hours, boiling, and then baking. Trust us, you can taste the difference.
The New Spot in Town
You can now find Bears Bagels at their shiny new brick-and-mortar location in Hilliard:
They’re also still popping up at the Dublin Market on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., so you have no excuse to miss out.
What’s on the Menu?
Their June menu has some mouthwatering options that are sure to make your taste buds dance. Here’s a sneak peek:
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bagel: Imagine the cozy taste of cinnamon crunch with a sweet twist.
Mocha Schmeer: This one’s a game-changer. Sweet vanilla cream cheese mixed with mini chocolate chips and espresso grounds, all swirled with chocolate ganache. Perfect for coffee lovers!
Calabrian & Tomato Ricotta Bialy: A tangy and creamy treat with roasted tomatoes and a bright Calabrian chili chimichurri.
Rainbow Bagels: To celebrate Pride from June 13-16, grab these colorful beauties either at the shop or the Dublin Market.
Bagel Love from the Community
The buzz around Bears Bagels is real, and people can’t stop raving about them. Here’s what some fans had to say:
Andy S. was hooked after one visit and says his table used pretzels to scoop up the last of the Bacon Scallion Schmear.
Sara B. loves the bialys and says Charis and Lo are the nicest people.
Barry H. got a bag dropped off by a friend, found them super fresh, and recommends the garlic everything.
Get There Early!
One thing to note: Bears Bagels often sells out, so it’s a good idea to get there early. Trust us, it’s worth setting your alarm a bit earlier on the weekend.
So, if you’re looking for a new spot to get your bagel fix, Bears Bagels is the place to be. Start with a plain bagel, then work up to the Mocha Schmeer. Head over to their Hilliard location, catch them at the Dublin Market, or head over to their website to join the growing community of bagel enthusiasts. Happy munching, CBUS!
