Our Story

A good, hand-rolled bagel can be hard to find, especially with ingredients that make sense.

We were tired of grabbing bagels off the shelves and seeing countless ingredients whose priority is to preserve rather than to nourish.

So we set out to make bagels that nourish, using minimal ingredients and delivering flavor that speaks for itself.

  • We’re Weston and Shannon, the husband-and-wife team behind Nala’s Bagels, with our golden retriever Nala. We started this business with one simple belief: great bagels should be made with ingredients you can count on one hand, or one paw. What began as baking for family and friends has grown into a mission to serve our community real food, made with care, simplicity, and a whole lot of heart.

  • At Nala’s Bagels, we believe quality starts with restraint. We keep our ingredient lists short, intentional, and recognizable, because there are no shortcuts for great food. Each bagel is hand-rolled, properly boiled, and baked to achieve that classic chew and golden crust.

What is a bagel popper?

Craving a bagel but not ready for the whole thing?

Bagel poppers are bite-sized, hand-rolled bagels crafted with our traditional boil-and-bake method and a short list of simple ingredients, finished with a lightly golden exterior and a perfectly chewy center.

Around here, Nala calls them pawpers.
