If you’re a New Yorker (or just a bagel lover) living in Central Florida, get ready for a bite of home—Brooklyn Water Bagel is expanding, with new locations coming soon to Clermont and Jensen Beach! Known for its authentic, New York-style bagels, the popular chain has been a go-to spot for those craving that perfect combination of a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior.
So many people living in Florida are transplants from the Northeast, myself included. Finding a great bagel outside New York or New Jersey can be challenging. Brooklyn Water Bagel aims to change that with its unique water-filtration process, designed to replicate the iconic taste and texture of bagels made in Brooklyn. It’s not just a gimmick—many bagel lovers swear by the difference that the water makes.
In addition to classic bagels, the menu offers a variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, house-made cream cheeses, and their signature iced coffee. Whether you're looking for a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel or a classic lox and schmear, Brooklyn Water Bagel promises an authentic experience that feels just like home.
With locations already established in parts of Florida, the brand has been gaining a loyal following, especially among former Northeasterners who miss the taste of a real Brooklyn bagel. With the Clermont and Jensen Beach expansions, even more residents and visitors will experience the flavors they know and love.
Whether you’re a longtime Floridian or a recent transplant looking for "a taste of nostalgia", Brooklyn Water Bagel is sure to hit the spot. Keep an eye out for opening dates for the two new locations, and get ready to start your mornings with some of the best bagels Central Florida has to offer! If you can't wait and want to try them now, check out their current location list, which includes Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Lady Lake, and Wesley Chapel.
