H&H Bagels

About

H&H Bagels is an iconic New York City institution, founded in 1972 by Helmer Toro. Originally located on the Upper West Side, it quickly became a staple for authentic New York-style bagels. The brand expanded to multiple locations, including the Upper East Side, before facing financial challenges and ownership splits. Despite these setbacks, H&H Bagels maintained its reputation for quality, using high-grade ingredients and traditional methods to create its signature bagels. Under the leadership of CEO Jay Rushin since 2014, H&H Bagels has expanded its operations, opening new locations in New York and beyond. The brand is now franchising nationally, offering its classic bagels in cities like Boca Raton and Santa Monica. Known for its all-natural ingredients and commitment to quality, H&H Bagels continues to be celebrated for its authentic New York bagel experience. Its bagels are kettle-boiled in New York City water and baked locally, ensuring consistency across locations. H&H Bagels has appeared in numerous TV shows, further cementing its cultural significance.
