Queens’ Beloved Utopia Bagels To Open Third Location In LIC

Utopia Bagels has been busy–they just opened their first-ever Manhattan location earlier this month and now, just a few days later, we’ve come to learn that they already have eyes on a third location!

The news was first reported by Commercial Observer, who found out from tenant broker Winick Realty Group. According to the broker Utopia Bagels has signed a 15-year lease for a 6,800 square foot space in Long Island City at Rockrose Development’s 26-11 Jackson Avenue.

Utopia Bagels was founded in 1981 in Whitestone, New York, and has been implementing the old world process of individually hand-rolling their bagels and kettle boiling them before baking them (in a 1947 carousel oven, might we add) ever since.

Over the years the bagel shop has grown to become a NYC staple with generation after generation of New Yorkers coming to love them dearly–that’s why they’re obviously one of our favorite bagel spots in NYC.

And once you’ve tried it for yourself–if you haven’t already–you’ll understand why. Their bagel and roll options are plentiful, they have tons of spreads to choose from like their Walnut Raisin Cream Cheese or Lox Spread, and there’s also so many other sandwiches and platters that are bound to leave you drooling.

As of now we’re not sure when Utopia Bagels plans to open their LIC location, but while we wait we can at least still grab a bagel at their Whitestone or Midtown locations.
