The Eccentric Bagel

I know this is a bit last minute, but it crossed my mind this morning that I hadn't seen any information posted about Bennett Karnis's services.
Bennett was loved by so many on Shelter Island, and I'm sure many people would appreciate the opportunity to pay their respects.

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that the Eccentric Bagel has lost one its family members. Bennett, who has been part of our family since the very beginning, has passed away.

For almost two years, he fought through illness with incredible strength, and even when things seemed to improve, life had other plans.

Bennett was not just part of our team. He was part of our family. His presence, loyalty, laughter and heart meant so much to us and to so many of you who came through our doors.

The loss is deeply felt, and he will be truly missed.

The “Elite Easter” Drop 🐣✨
The Basket Upgrade of the Year. Our signature chocolate-covered bagel chips just got a high-end spring glow-up. Think: that iconic salty crunch, drenched in rich chocolate, and finished with a hand-piped pastel drizzle.

These are the “if you know, you know” bags that disappear the second they hit the shelf. Gift-ready, high-impact, and undeniably addictive.

Cinnamon Sugar Bagel Balls.

Darryn, our resident bagel mad scientist, came up with these a few days ago and made the first batch today.

4 warm cinnamon sugar bagel balls
served with a packet of vanilla icing.

Direct quote from the creator:
“THEY ARE SICK.”

And judging by how fast they are selling today… you guys seem to agree.

Should these go on the menu?
