A new bagel shop is coming to Buckhead! Spread Bagelry is slated to open in a second generation restaurant space in Buckhead Village, according to planning documents reviewed by ToNeTo Atlanta.
Spread Bagelry got its start in Philadelphia in 2010 crafting Montreal-style wood-fired bagels and today has grown into a chain of 16 locations across 4 states, including one in Savannah, which opened last January.
The eatery specializes in bagel sandwiches be they with cream cheese or meats. The shop will offered assorted cream cheese options including Plain, Scallion and Pistachio Honey as well as meats from New York's Carnegie Deli.
For those unfamiliar, the Montreal-style bagel is a distinctive variety of wood-fired baked bagel. In contrast to the New York-style bagel (like those at Goldberg's, Brooklyn Bagel, and Bagelicious), which also contain sourdough, the Montreal-style bagel is typically smaller, thinner, denser, and sweeter, given that it is boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked. The Montreal bagel also typically has a larger hole.
ToNeTo Atlanta readers may recall that Buckhead almost landed another Montreal-style bagel shop - The Good Wurst - which was to open at Tuxedo Festival near Chastain Park, but the plans fell through and MEND Coffee & Goods opened in the space last April.
Are you familiar with Montreal-style bagels? Have you been to Spread Bagelry? What is your favorite bagel flavor?

I love Montreal style bagels, and the last one I had was in Montreal. ha! I'm so excited this is opening and will have to make a special weekend trip to try it.
ReplyDeleteSo excited! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI give this six months. The only people that go to buckhead anymore are criminals and liberals (guess the two have many things in common). Most of the restaurant dollars and customers are outside the perimeter. If this was opening in cumming or kennesaw I could see it being successful
ReplyDeleteI give you six months before you move with all your friends to south Florida
DeleteTell us you're ignorant without telling us you're ignorant. Lol. You're not doing yourself any favors here. SMDH.
DeleteYes Forsyth county is known for their culinary scene! Stay up there and eat your zaxbys!
DeleteGo back to Trumpistan!
DeleteThat’s really rude and not needed, naysayer
DeleteBagels and Chookah!
ReplyDeleteChookah. That pretty much sums up Atlanta's culinary and nightlife scene....LOL
DeleteChallah on Chanukkah
DeleteI'm sure it'll be out of business within a few months. Sooner or later, the Trump tariffs and the Trump Depression and the Trump economy will kill off everything
ReplyDeleteNice try. It’s actually the horrific that Joe Biden left president trump with. President trump is heroically trying to right all the wrongs of Biden, Obama and Clinton
DeleteGrifter
DeleteI blame it all on Martin Van Buren. We haven’t been the same since then.
DeleteSir this is a Wendy’s
DeleteThere's too much crime in Buckhead to go there. The Trump apocalypse has made everyone desperate
ReplyDeleteThey don’t want you in Buckhead anyway.
DeleteSome really acrid anonymous commemters. If you don't like Buckead, stay wherever you are. I don't share your thinking.
ReplyDeleteYawn. Bagels, doughnuts, chicken strips, when will it ever end?
ReplyDeleteWhen you open up a restaurant that sells exactly what YOU think a restaurant should sell. Go do it! Since you’re so bored and so smart go do it. Then it can be announced here and everyone can tell YOU “it won’t make it” “this is stupid” “tarriffs will ruin it” and everyone’s favorite, the guy who posts the buffoonish mocking can say it needs hookah. Go on, do it!
Deleteit’s always one of the other, where’s the variety honestly…
Delete$8 bagels will be a big hit in Buckhead. Buck'ers love to pay 3x what something actually should cost. Imagine a tasty piece of Montreal dough with a chive schmear for the low price of $12.74. Add a latte' for $6.95 and you've got a tasty treat for lesss than $20.... Well, maybe a little more with tip.
DeleteSchmear is racist, you philistine.
DeleteI agree this is NOTHING NEW! Atlanta is a waste.
DeleteThis is amazing! Really hope it does well. We have Montreal bagels shipped to us a couple times of year because they are so good! Hope they bring Montreal smoked meat too!
ReplyDeleteEli, why do you keep these idiot comments up? I love your blog. Been reading it for years. But these idiots ruin it.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your readership and understand your concern. There are plenty of comments that are not published but some I feel are worthy given they show both sides. One could say any political comment is left by "an idiot" depending on which side you lie.
Deletemaybe don't publish any political comments?
DeleteLove you Eli! Thank you for your hard work!
DeleteEli believes in freedom of expression. Something leftists will never understand.
Deleteyou should not approve any political comments
DeleteBuckhead needs more chicken!

ReplyDeleteIf Canada becomes our 51sr state this might really take off
ReplyDeleteWhat if it becomes 86jq town?
DeleteDo Buckhead WASP's eat Jewish food?
