Meyerland’s Popular Bagel Shop Bakery Opens Long-Awaited Bellaire Location

WHY NOT START off the new year with Houston's best bagel?


After nearly 50 years, Meyerland's favorite breakfast spot has finally expanded, opening a new location in neighboring Bellaire. The Bagel Shop Bakery, the companion concept to New York Deli & Coffee Shop, has bowed in a former drug store and pawn shop at 5422 Bellaire Boulevard.

The Bagel Shop, which is Houston Kashruth- and Mehadrin Kashrus of Texas-certified, welcomes Food Network star Roshni Gurnani as its executive chef, and Adriana Soto as the kitchen supervisor. Expect plenty of perfectly chewy bagels — plusnew items like a falafel burger, deep-fried blintzes and the Elvis Schmelvish bagel sandwich.

Guests can order at the counter and sit on the patio, which will soon adjoin a new outpost of the New York Deli & Coffee Shop, slated to open next year.

They are, of course, the arts patrons behind two of Houston’s most popular and trendy restaurants — MAD and BCN Taste & Tradition.

THE POP-UP CULINARY trend — when great chefs from elsewhere take over a local restaurant for a night or two — continues to be a hot in Houston. But as the novelty of the concept fades to been-there-done-that, pop-up purveyors must be increasingly clever to attract savvy foodies.
