Bloomington-born bagel outfit Gables Bagels has rolled north, opening its first shop outside the college town on Thursday in Zionsville's Village District. The compact storefront brings kettle boiled bagels and house made schmears to the brick lined stretch of Main Street, marking the brand's first Boone County outpost since it launched in 2022.
Where to find it
The new Zionsville shop sits just off Main Street at 270 S. Main St. and lists regular morning hours. According to Gables Bagels, the store is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the site lists a local phone number. The same site notes that the Zionsville location is taking online orders.
Menu and carryout options
The Zionsville menu mirrors the Bloomington shop's lineup of bagels, schmears and signature breakfast sandwiches. The location features 14 bagel variations, 10 schmear options and 10 signature sandwiches, and it also offers gluten free bagels and a "Bagel Barrel" dozen carry option, according to The Reporter. The Barrel is described as a way to carry a dozen bagels plus two eight ounce tubs of cream cheese for at home baking or catering.
How the storefront came together
Zionsville's plan commission approved a development plan amendment last year to convert the 1,560 square foot building into a restaurant with a kitchen, walk in freezer and a wrap around deck. Those project details were reported during the zoning process, and owner Ed Schwartzman told You Are Current he was "really excited" about locating in the Village District. The proposal also included a takeout window and outdoor seating to suit Main Street foot traffic.
What this expansion means locally
For Gables Bagels, the Zionsville shop is the brand's first Boone County push and follows a measured rollout that included a 2025 Kirkwood Avenue location in Bloomington. Local coverage frames the move as a deliberate expansion aimed at both walk in mornings and catering business, per Indiana Daily Student. The storefront adds another breakfast option to Zionsville's Village District lineup.
Schwartzman said catering and delivery would be a big part of the business during the build out, and the shop's online ordering lists catering and frozen "Bagel Barrel" options for groups on Gables Bagels. As the location settles into its early weeks, residents will be watching how the newcomer fits into Main Street's morning routine.
