Toastee Bagels are \u201cauthentic Jersey-style bagels that are crafted from scratch-made dough, then boiled and baked on cedar boards,\u201d Patel said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can taste the quality in every bite of a Toastee bagel. Our bagels are hand-crafted and baked fresh throughout the day,\u201d Patel said. \u201cThey\u2019re perfect for the morning rush, lunch, or a post-practice stop.<\/p>\n

Patel, of Mountain Top, said he plans to donate leftovers to local food banks and churches.<\/p>\n

The menu also includes breakfast sandwiches, pastries, coffee and espresso drinks. Lunch options feature hot and cold sandwiches served on a bagel, wrap or hoagie roll, as well as salads.<\/p>\n

Catering is also available.<\/p>\n

Toastee Bagels will be open daily 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
