Benchwarmers Bagels – North Hills Innovation District

About

Benchwarmers Bagels opened its North Hills shop on Hardimont Road, the third address for a bakery that has been making bagels in Raleigh since 2019. The bagels come out of a wood-fired oven, baked dark after a spell in honey water.

The grain is the part they care most about. It is heirloom, fresh-milled by their friends at Boulted Bread, pre-fermented, and given a long cold rise, which is what makes the finished bagel open and airy inside. Nothing about the process is quick, and it shows.

What to know

  • Coffee is brewed with beans roasted by Jubala Coffee in Raleigh.
  • The bagel sandwiches are the thing the shop is known for around Raleigh.
  • Pan-baked pizza is on the menu alongside the bagels.
  • Catering and wholesale orders are both handled.
  • This is the newest of the company’s three Raleigh shops.
