The carb-craving community in Winchester, Massachusetts, is in for a treat as The Bagel Bar gears up to launch a new branch on Thompson Street, taking over the spot that was once home to the Fuller Cup. The circle is complete for bagel enthusiasts as the new shop promises to serve up New York-style bagels with a side of cool café vibes.

The news was first reported by a member of the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group, signaling that the Burlington-based bagel hotspot is expanding its doughy empire. The incoming eatery isn't just bringing bagels to the 'burbs – it's also packing bagel sandwiches, toast, the requisite coffee,, and a "bar-like" atmosphere reminiscent of the owners' previous ventures in the bar and restaurant biz.

Locavores will particularly feel at home at The Bagel Bar, which pledges allegiance to the community by sourcing its bagels and coffee locally. Its Instagram page, already brimming with the promise of mouth-watering offerings, is a tease for what’s to come. The Bagel Bar’s original location first won over taste buds in Burlington back in early 2020, and if that success is any guide - Winchester residents better ready their appetites.

"We are on a mission to bring the best locally baked NY style bagels, homemade spreads and variety of delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches to the area," the company's website proclaims. The spot will also quench caffeine cravings with a bevy of brews, touting a nitro draft system that's set to pour the signature java jolts, - and nitro and cold brew influenced cocktails.

Get set for a grand opening – the address to catch all this buzz is none other than 11 Thompson Street, Winchester, MA, 01890. Although the launch date hasn't been announced yet, bagel believers can follow the crumb trail to the establishment's social media or website for the latest updates and sneak peeks.
