The Story
Healdsburg Bagel Company began as a hobby and turned into a passion. In 2013, Drew Ross’ father-in-law came for a visit and asked where they could get good bagels. The search proved fruitless. Little did they know that such a simple request would turn into an epic journey that would lead Ross into the kitchen himself. His mission: to make a great bagel. They baked the first batch together from a recipe his father-in-law shared. It was good but not good enough and Drew’s deep dive began in earnest. Numerous tweaks and thousands of batches later, Drew finally came up with the “perfect” bagel. It wasn’t until he shared bagels with his friends that he realized he wasn’t on this quest alone. And so the Healdsburg Bagel Company was born. Every batch is made to order fresh daily inspired by Drew’s commitment to providing authentic NY bagels right here in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, and beyond.
The Process
Healdsburg Bagel Company uses only the highest quality ingredients to create traditional New York Style Bagels. The dough is made, proofed and formed before the boiling, seeding, and baking begins. The result is a perfectly crisp outside with a chewy inside and a flavor that cannot be beat.
Bagels for all of my friends…and all of the friends I have yet to meet.
