[a] Bagel lovers now do have choices. Netherlands Bagels not only offers
the Everything Bagel, an American favorite, but also options that draw
inspiration from Ertrachter’s adopted country, like a Cinnamon Raisin
bagel influenced by oliebollen. Almost all of the bagels are plant-based
vegan, Ertrachter said. “They’re delicious by themselves or with a bit of
schmear!”
[b] “Even if you cannot travel to New York to simply enjoy bagels, our new
bagel business strives to bring a bit of New York to your doorstep,” said
Netherlands Bagels owner Karen Ertrachter. “I started this business
because I was missing the taste of real New York bagels. I’ve modeled my
recipes to match the taste of my favorite bagel store back home as I was
constantly disappointed by the bagel options in the Netherlands.”
[c] Netherlands Bagels was founded by a native New Yorker in the Zuid-
Holland city, and has started weekly shipments of their hand-rolled, boiled
and baked New York-style bagels to homes all across the Netherlands.
You can order online from Sunday through Wednesday for each upcoming
weekend. Netherlands Bagels make them the old-fashioned way just like
you would have in New York.
