Black Seed Bagels Makes Brooklyn Debut

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS -- Brooklyn will always make room for bagels.

Black Seed Bagels, the trendy bagel shop that customers have gone mad for in Manhattan, will open its first Brooklyn location at 125 Court St. near Atlantic Avenue in early 2019, according to realtors.

Black Seed Bagel's fifth New York City location will open next door to Sweetgreen, which is slated to open at 125 Court in December, Two Trees Management announced.

While the first Black Seed bagel opened in Nolita, the company has roots in Brooklyn. Co-founder Noah Bernamof and head baker Dianna Daoheung both hail from Hoyt Street's Mile End Delicatessen.

Daoheung was spearheading the deli's bagel program until Hurricane Sandy destroyed the shop's Red Hook facilities.

Faced with irreparable damage, Bernamof and Black Seed co-founder Matt Kliegman launched “the kvetcher’s club,” where the idea for Black Seed was born.

Black Seed has since launched three locations at 170 Elizabeth St., 176 First Ave. and the Hudson Eats food court at 200 Vesey St.

Bagel makers will offer a full menu of wood-fired bagels, sandwiches, Stumptown coffee, house-made pastries in the 671-square-foot retail space, according to Two Trees Management.

Specialty bagels include the pepperoni pizza bagel, the Larry David with whitefish salad, cream cheese, sweet cucumber, and the Tobiko with smoked salmon, Tobiko cream cheese and butter lettuce.
