Review of Willow's Bagels

As a non-celiac, I was directed here by a local friend for a delicious & quick GF breakfast. They make their gluten-free bagels every Monday after sanitizing their kitchen. Since they were closed the Monday before my visit they were out of gluten-free bagels the entire weekend I was in town, including the Monday morning before we were set to leave. Helpful to note if you want the freshest bake to go early in the week, as the weekend bagels are 5-6 days old. Thankfully they had gluten-free bread, so I was able to order a breakfast sandwich instead.

Hi jayzombie, We prep the bagels on Mondays, usually finishing in the early afternoon. so we're not pulling from that bake off until Tuesday. The only note I wanted to make for anyone reading the review, is that we have always made bagels once a week to reduce possible cross contamination. We boil, bake, slice, and freeze them on Mondays for use during the week, so when they are pulled from the freezer and toasted, they are refreshed to essentially fresh bagels. We would never serve bagels that have been sitting out for 5-6 days. Yuck! Glad you were okay getting the bread!
