After making its Florida debut in 2024 with the opening of a Boca Raton outpost, New York’s H&H Bagels continues to expand across the Sunshine State. The brand announced in February that its expansion plans include five planned locations across Miami-Dade.
However, in the meantime, H&H Bagels’ next South Florida location is set to open on Thursday, November 20, in West Palm Beach at 890 N. Railroad Ave. The outpost will open in the city’s Nora District, situated near North Railroad Avenue in downtown West Palm Beach, where developers aim to create a dining, shopping, and entertainment district akin to Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood.
During Thursday’s opening, the first 200 customers will receive a tote bag with H&H gift cards ranging from $5 to $100. “We could not be more excited to open in the new Nora District of West Palm Beach,” says Jay Rushin, CEO of H&H Bagels, in a statement. “This will be the second location for our phenomenal Boca Raton franchise owners, and the space is absolutely stunning.” The West Palm Beach franchise is owned and operated by Marc Schultz and Chris Greco, who also owns and operates the Boca Raton location.

A Hole Lot to Love
If you’ve never had the pleasure of biting into an H&H bagel, prepare yourself for a truly authentic New York experience. H&H Bagels are proofed, kettle-boiled in New York City water, and then oven-baked, with bagels baked on-site daily.
Expect the menu to feature many of the same New York classics, including the classic bacon, egg, and cheese and the Nova salmon with “the works.” There’s also a variety of cream cheese flavors, such as scallion, jalapeño, vegetable, walnut raisin, and strawberry. Meanwhile, bagel options include plain, everything, sesame, cinnamon raisin, jalapeño cheddar, whole wheat, egg, and pumpernickel.
When H&H Bagels opened in Boca, there was so much commotion that there was a line out the door by 6:30 a.m. “We had a line out the door until 6:30 a.m.,” their store manager told New Times. “People keep coming, and the guys have been cycling to and from the oven in the back of the house every ten minutes for the last five hours. I mean, we’re doing so much volume today. The oven is running nonstop!”
H&H Bagel was founded in 1972 in Manhattan’s Upper West Side and is regarded as the quintessential New York City bagel. The brand has appeared on shows such as Sex and the City and Seinfeld. It has seven locations across New York and prides itself on maintaining its authentic bagel recipe for over 50 years.
