Bagel Cafe, a chain specializing in American-style bagels, is set to significantly expand its operations by opening eight new branches by mid-2027. This expansion, representing an investment of 8 million shekels, will increase the chain's total number of locations from 15 to 23. The company attributes this growth to the rising popularity of American bagels, which it bakes fresh on-site using natural ingredients, mirroring the New York style.
The chain, which has been operating for over 14 years, focuses on a concept of kiosks in leading Israeli malls, complemented by seating areas. This accessible and quick service model, according to the company, allows for relatively low setup costs and ensures high profitability for franchisees. Bagel Cafe currently operates 15 branches across Israel, including locations in Jerusalem, Mevaseret Zion, Efrat, Modi'in, Netanya, Kfar Saba, and Ra'anana.
Owners Tomer and Shimrit Tuti stated that the expansion is a direct response to growing customer demand for their fresh, customizable products. They plan to continue expanding in the coming years, aiming to provide high-quality, delicious food. The menu features customizable bagel sandwiches and salads, quiches, hot and cold beverages, and American-style pastries. The chain also operates a deli and a bakery, with products available for both dine-in and takeout. A new protein and health-focused menu is also planned for release soon.
