Sam, Rory, and Aidan have built something genuinely special here. Reviewers consistently rave about the instructors' warmth and approachability, and the blend of hands-on bagel making with deep dives into NYC bagel history keeps people engaged from start to finish. One reviewer who had lived in New York for over 25 years said the bagels her husband made in class easily beat their favorite local spots, which is high praise in a city that takes its bagels seriously. The experience draws an international crowd, with glowing reviews in Spanish and Portuguese alongside the English ones, suggesting the classes translate well across cultures and backgrounds. Team building groups also get a shoutout more than once. Whether you leave as a bagel convert or just a very satisfied snacker, most people walk away wanting to recreate the experience at home, and that might be the best endorsement of all.
Sorry it took me so long to write. We attended a Bagel Tour with the Baylor Alumni. It was absolutely wonderful. We had so much fun learning how to make the dough, rolling bagels, boiling and baking bagels, coating in topping and hearing the history! I am a life long New Yorker and I learned so much! I’d highly recommend!
