Bagels are traditionally made with wheat flour, so a shop that makes a gluten-free version is worth knowing about. Every bagel shop here has gluten-free in its name or business category, or names it on its own website.

Good to know
Are gluten-free bagels made from different ingredients?
Yes. They are usually made from a blend of rice, tapioca, potato or other non-wheat flours, since wheat flour is what gives a regular bagel its chew. The texture is often a little softer, and many shops freeze them or bake them to order.
Is a gluten-free listing the same as a safe-for-celiac guarantee?
No. A listing here means the shop says it offers gluten-free items, not that it avoids cross-contact. Call and ask how the shop bakes, stores and handles them before you order.
