Bagel King Bakery

The Write-Up

The full story

Bagel King is a working wholesale plant at 668 Kennedy Blvd W, not a retail shop, and its kettle-boiled bagels fill deli and cafe cases across Central Florida. Family-owned since 1977, it bakes bagels in many varieties plus danish, muffins, croissants, and King Cakes. When a bagel at an Orlando cafe has real chew and shine, there is a good chance it started here.
