It began so long ago… it was Europe, during the 1600’s. A bagel was created to honor a king. This king guy loved it, and soon the bagel was spread throughout the land. Its formulation remained unchanged for three centuries.

The bagel was brought to America in the 20th century, and the recipe was fiercely safeguarded.

Now, not too long ago, in Brooklyn, NY, a master baker passes on his treasured recipe to an ambitious young man. This man worked hard to merge the time-honored technique together with the improvements of technology.

In this, he succeeded! The Bagel Barrel in Doylestown, PA is the home of this time-honored bagel, and it is our mission to be true to its history and recipe, and offer the best tasting bagel we can bring to you.

You deserve nothing less.
