Artisan bakery serving award-winning gluten-free bagels & pastries
"If you don't eat gluten, it can be hard to find a great BEC. It can also be tough to find a gluten-free bagel that's good enough to remind you why bagels are one of our staple food groups—but you can get both of those things at Modern Bread & Bagel. Stop by for a BEC packed with scrambled eggs and cheddar. The bacon is vegan, and it doesn't taste like much, but the big, chewy bagels make up for this. If you want, you can get your whole sandwich vegan." - team infatuation
"These bagels may not taste remarkable at first, but that’s kind of the point. They’re supposed to blend in. Modern Bread and Bagel is entirely gluten free, and their baked goods do a fantastic job of simulating a full-on gluten experience. In order to fully appreciate the dense, chewy bagels with big pockets of air, it helps to understand how truly not-great some gluten-free options can be. But even if you’ve never lived the alt-bagel lifestyle, you can still have a great time eating one of these things. The densely seasoned everything is the correct choice here." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"“Modern Bread and Bagel is newer to the neighborhood. I think it's largely gluten-free, which is not like a thing for me, but they have these sick breakfast sandwiches. I have this one that’s goat cheese with pepper jelly and eggs and I get it on a parmesan roll. If you need a little hug from the inside after you've had a few too many the night before, that's the way to go. And sometimes if I'm really upset with what I've done to myself, I'll get their mushroom patty on an everything bagel. I don't even know what I'm eating but I know it's good. That's my vibe.”" - brennan carley
"It can be tough to find gluten-free baked goods that aren't so dry they spin into a pile of dust like Michael Jackson in the Remember the Time video. We can assure you the bagels, breads, and pastries at Modern Bread & Bagel will not do this. This Upper West Side bakery has everything from GF naan and challah to funfetti cupcakes and chocolate babka, and they also serve some good sandwiches." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine
