# 🥯 FROM NEW YORK TRADITION TO YOUR FRONT DOOR
# # # The Story of Sarafina's Bagels
**Three Names. One Family. A Tradition Since 2016.**
Long before Sarafina's Bagels began delivering fresh bagels to doorsteps across Florida, there was a tradition that started generations ago, hundreds of miles away, in the bustling streets of New York City.
**This is the story of the New York bagel, a family-owned business, and a love for baking that never disappeared.**
# # # 🗽 Where the New York Bagel Began
The story of the New York bagel actually begins in Eastern Europe.
In the late 1800s, Jewish immigrants brought their treasured bagel-making traditions to New York City. These weren't ordinary rolls with holes in the middle. They were something special.
The dough was shaped by hand, boiled in water, and then baked until golden brown. The result was a distinctive crust, a satisfying chew, and a flavor that became part of New York's identity.
Over the generations, bagels became more than breakfast. They became a reason for families to gather, neighbors to visit their favorite bakeries, and friends to share a little piece of tradition.
And that tradition eventually found its way into our family's kitchen.
# # # ❤️ Our Beginning: Sarafina's Cafe
Every family business has a beginning.
Ours began with Sarafina's Cafe, where family ownership and a dedication to serving good food became part of who we were.
What mattered wasn't simply preparing food. It was creating something people would enjoy, remember, and want to come back for.
As our business evolved, one thing became especially important to us: making a New York-style bagel the traditional way.
Not taking shortcuts. My son liked the idea and put many hours of research, time and trials to getting the recipe right and not sacrificing the character of the bagel. Just learning, working, and putting care into what we made.
# # # 🥯 Sarafina's Eatery: Bunnell, Florida
Our journey continued with Sarafina's Eatery in Bunnell, Florida.
For many customers, this is where they came to know our bagels.
Since 2016, we've been making bagels using the traditional hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and baked method.
Our dough is made from scratch, shaped by hand, and boiled before baking.
Why boil a bagel?
Because that extra step is part of what makes a New York-style bagel special. It helps develop the crust and characteristic texture that bagel lovers recognize.
We believed then, and still believe today, that good food is worth the effort.
And somewhere along the way, something wonderful happened.
People remembered our bagels.
Even after Sarafina's Eatery was no longer operating, former customers continued asking about them.
They wanted to know when we would make them again.
# # # 🏡 A New Beginning: Sarafina's Bagels
Sometimes the next chapter of a family business begins with a simple conversation.
One day, after we had made bagels for a customer, Lucille asked a question:
**"Why aren't you making bagels under Florida's Cottage Food Law?"**
That question changed everything.
We began researching the requirements, preparing our kitchen, registering our business, and creating a website where customers could order directly.
We didn't need another restaurant dining room.
We didn't need tables, chairs, or a storefront.
We wanted to concentrate on the one thing people kept asking us to bring back.
**Our bagels.**
And on September 1, 2026, Sarafina's Bagels officially opened.
This time, with a different approach.
We make our bagels fresh from scratch and deliver them directly to our customers' doors.
No waiting in a bakery line. No early-morning drive to find a bagel.
Just a familiar tradition brought right to your home.
# # # ❤️ More Than Just a Bagel
Today, we're proud to serve customers throughout Palm Coast, Bunnell, Flagler Beach, and surrounding communities, with deliveries reaching from the Daytona Beach area toward St. Augustine.
We're still a family-owned business.
We're still making our dough from scratch.
And we're still committed to the New York-style bagel-making tradition that has been part of our business since 2016.
We know that every order represents something important: a customer choosing to support a small family business.
To our former Sarafina's Cafe and Sarafina's Eatery customers, thank you for remembering us.
To our new customers, welcome to the family.
And to everyone who kept asking when our bagels would return...
**We're back, and this time, we're coming to you!**
