New York-style bagel chain opening new location in South Charlotte shopping center

You’ll be able to experience a taste of “The Big Apple” in Charlotte thanks to a New York-style bagel shop opening in November.

Jeff’s Bagel Run is setting up shop in Blakeney Town Center in the space formerly home to SAS Cupcakes, which closed in June due to the cost of rent and the rising costs of goods.

The Florida-based business, run by Jeff and Danielle Perera, came to be when they “decided to take matters into their own hands” after moving down South where there were a lack of options to get authentic New York-style bagels, the company website says.

From what started as “the bagel run” of personally delivering bagels during the beginning of the pandemic, their home kitchen operation blossomed into a bustling business. Since opening its first-brick and-mortar opening in 2021, the duo has expanded their bagel shop with several other locations, including their first out-of-state location in the Triangle Area that recently opened .

There are plans for Jeff’s Bagel Run to open five restaurants in the Charlotte market.

Charlotte Business Journal first reported the news of the opening.

‘Always boiled, never toasted’

Starting with Jeff as the baker and Danielle — who grew up enjoying authentic New York-style bagels — as the taste tester, the bagel shop has a wide variety of flavored bagels and spreads, with some vegan options, on the menu, including:

• Asiago everything bagels

• Blueberry bagels

• Cacio e Pepe bagels

• Cinnamon raisin bagels

• Rosemary salt bagels

• Jalapeno cheddar bagels

• Banana pudding spread

• Cake batter spread

• Cannoli spread

• Cookies and cream spread

• Roasted jalapeno spread

Jeff’s Bagel Run also serves coffees, lemonades, chocolate chip cookies and other sweet treats.
