The irresistible taste and aroma of authentic New York bakeries is in every bag. Except we added our world famous CRUNCH! Who knew that such a simple idea born 30 years ago in a small cheese shop would become a household name that people are enjoying with their dips, salads, soups and anything else imaginable.

In 1978, Jim Burns & Gary Ricker asked themselves a question that would forever change their lives – why not serve gourmet cheese samples on toasted bagel slices instead of crackers? Little did they know the answer to this question would change the way New York City and the rest of the world snacked. Soon, customers were not only buying gourmet cheese, but also the toasted bagel slices – by the deli bagfuls! And there you have it, Bagel Crisps® (and their iconic little bag that we all know and love) were born. And the rest of the story…well, let's just say it's history.
