Welcome to Broadway Stages’ Business Spotlight, where we feature local shops, restaurants, organizations, and venues in the communities where we have operations. We encourage our readers to join us in supporting these establishments and advancing local economic growth.

New York City is arguably the bagel capital of our Nation. They are considered a local specialty and everyone has a spot they swear by. This local delicacy has been pioneered and innovated for well over 100 years through the countless bakeries, bodegas, and specialty shops that line our streets. All of this makes breaking into the bagel business a daunting task for even the most seasoned chefs and restauranteurs. So, when a restaurant and café not only survives, but succeeds, people take notice. Enter Not Just Bagels on Staten Island. For over 20 years, this establishment has been delighting locals with their delicious takes on breakfast classics. So much so that The Daily News even awarded them the title of Staten Island’s best bagel! Customers will find a bevy of classic breakfast and lunch items such as bagels (duh), wraps, and smoothies, and some more creative offerings like zany sandwiches, bagel pizzas, and breakfast quesadillas! They also provide catering for those looking to impress at their next event.

The shop operates every day of the week from 5 am to 3 pm with the exception of Sundays when they open at 5:30 am. They even offer take out options for those who work from home but still crave the satisfaction of a tasty commuter-style meal. If we’ve piqued your interest, we recommend you check out their Instagram and Facebook pages and feast your eyes on all of their delicious products, and keep up with seasonal deals and items. So, next time you’re on Staten Island and could use a classic meal to brighten your day, head over to Not Just Bagels! As always, tell them Broadway Stages sentyou.
