The owners of The Bronx Bagel Buggy, a popular farmers market vendor, have found a permanent home for their bagels, bagel egg sandwiches, bagel dogs, bialys, stuffed cakes and more! Loyal ToNeTo Atlanta reader and OTP foodie Joe Duffy, aka @AtlantaGrubber, made us aware of the plans which were confirmed by the owners themselves.
Business and life partners Steven Novotny and Julie Dragich launched Bronx Bagel Buggy at farmers markets in 2021. The duo blended their Italian and Polish backgrounds to create what they feel is the ideal kettle boiled bagel. The duo's bagels, bialys and famous "bialy bombs," (stuffed bialy), and other baked goods are still available at select farmers markets including those in Brookhaven and Alpharetta.
"We only source fresh ingredients, and always start with a well of flour, and a pinch of this and that, just the way "babcia" and "nonna" baked. That’s the story of how the Bronx Bagel Buggy was born and blended into a big, bold taste of the North in the South."
Residents of nearby Brookhaven, Novotny and Dragich wanted to open in their community and were pleased to have found a space so close to everything where neighbors from Brookhaven, Chamblee and elsewhere could come and enjoy their baked goods.
Initially the menu will focus primarily on bagels and bialys, but the couple plans to ramp up their offerings - with potential cakes, cookies, and other pastries - added to the eatery's offerings in the weeks and months to come. The existing variety of house-made cream cheeses including Raspberry Jalapeno and Cinnamon Pecan, will likely see the addition of new flavors and dairy-free options, too.
Plans call for The Bronx Bagel Buggy to offer counter service with about 20 or so seats inside for those choosing to eat in the shop.
Work on the space is well underway with Dragich telling ToNeTo Atlanta that they are currently on track to open by early September.
