We can’t get enough of our bagels in the Garden State. Sure, I’m biased, but I think New Jersey makes them better than anywhere else.

Take that, New York!

One set of shops, in particular, makes bagels that should be considered art.

An official opening date has not yet been announced, but they promise it’s opening “soon” on their Instagram. It’s a perfect time for us to be getting a new Bagel Nook because they totally lean into the spooky season.

They have a pumpkin-shaped bagel that you can enjoy on a fall walk.
