Bullfrog Bagels unleashed a little bit of bagel hysteria when founder Jeremiah Cohen began selling his New York-style rounds at Cork Market over two weekends a couple months ago.
Now, the bagel-maker is back, this time at CakeLove’s 1506 U St. NW location from July 17 through 29. If you haven’t heard about them, Cohen’s bagels use a wild, young levain (a less sour sourdough starter) rather than commercial yeast and are hand-rolled and boiled in small batches. Flavors include everything, onion, poppy seed, sesame, and plain—all for $1.50 each or $18 per baker’s dozen. Bullfrog also offers bialys plus three types of cream cheese and some new schmears, like smoked whitefish salad, Scottish-style smoked salmon, and pastrami-crusted smoked salmon.
All pre-orders must be placed at least one day before pick-up using Bullfrog’s new online ordering system. Each order is limited to two dozen bagels and bialys. You can also just stop by the shop to grab some.
