Slim and chewy Montreal-style bagels are coming to the ‘Burg. New York City chainlet Black Seed Bagels will soon open at 214 Berry Street, next to Tribeca Ped and a block from Whole Foods and Japanese grocer Ten Ichi Mart & Deli.
The bagel dough is naturally leavened and fermented, according to the company’s website. The bagels are smaller than typical bloated American specimens, boiled in honeyed water and baked in a wood-fired oven.

The menu includes smoked salmon, cream cheese, pizza bagels and a variety of bagel sandwiches, from PBJ to a tuna melt.
The chain has another store in Bushwick and six more in Manhattan. A Downtown Brooklyn store at 214 Schermerhorn Street is also in the works.
The storefront was previously home to bag maker Timbuk2.
Black Seed is not the only artisanal bagel maker in the ‘Burg.
On the other side of Williamsburg, at 312 Leonard Street, cafe and grocer Edith’s opened in January and is serving its own handmade bagels as well as other Jewish comfort foods.
