San Francisco Bagel Shop Midnite Bagel Opens Austin Pop-Up for January | Eater Austin

"I found Midnite Bagel, a San Francisco shop run by founder Nick Beitcher, currently slinging bagels in January at Zilker neighborhood hotel the Loren as a month-long pop-up. The menu includes bagels in plain, everything, buckwheat–black sesame, and cinnamon-raisin, paired with cream cheeses like jalapeño, plain, and scallion; there are also open-face sandwiches such as one with smoked salmon and another topped with vegetables like onions and sprouts. The bakery’s breads (buckwheat black sesame, pumpernickel) and baked goods and snacks—granola, buckwheat banana muffins, and everything cookies—are also on offer. Beitcher previously worked at essential San Francisco bakery Tartine, started Midnite as a pop-up in 2018, briefly opened a physical bakery, and now sells bagels out of a commissary kitchen and at farmers markets. The Austin pop-up runs January 1–31 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (or until sold out), and a portion of proceeds will go to the Loren’s nonprofit, Loren Roots Imperative, to help offset carbon footprints." - Nadia Chaudhury
