We got an exclusive preview of the brand-new Bagel Chicks Bakery in Ranson before their official grand opening—and let’s just say, they’re about to take things up a serious notch for bagel, sandwich, and pastry lovers alike! 🥯🍩🥖
A Fresh, Rustic Feel (With a New York Twist)
The first thing you notice walking in? The gorgeous remodel. The space is fresh, modern, and open, but still has that welcoming charm and neighborhood friendliness you remember from Royalicious. It feels like a slice of New York with a cozy, local twist. From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted with beautiful displays of fresh-baked pastries, cookies, and spreads that instantly get your mouth watering.
Bagels and Spreads: New York Style at Its Best
Bagel Chicks is delivering authentic New York-style bagels—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside—paired with a creative list of spreads. We sampled a few:
🧂 Old Bay Spread – Perfect for Marylanders! Creamy with that iconic Old Bay kick.
🧡 Lox Spread – Light, silky, and full of flavor without being overly fishy.
🍓 Strawberry Spread – Sweet, but not overpowering, making it a great match even for a classic plain bagel.
The consistency of the spreads was spot on—smooth, easy to spread, and packed with fresh flavor.
Sandwich Game: Next Level
While bagels are the star, you can’t miss the sandwiches here either. We dug into the Italian Sub and felt like we were transported straight to a New York deli. 🥪
The bread was soft yet sturdy, and the meat-to-bread-to-cheese ratio was absolutely perfect. Every bite was balanced, fresh, and satisfying—no one flavor overpowered the others.
Sausage Rolls Worth Talking About
Next up was the massive sausage roll, served with a side of house-made marinara. 🍅🧀
The sausage was juicy, the cheese was gooey, and the marinara had layers of Italian herbs and spices that made each dip better than the last. The bread held everything together beautifully—it’s clear they know their way around dough.
Dessert Highlight: The Chocolate Cigar
And then… dessert heaven. 🍫
We chose the chocolate cigar, and it’s safe to say it’s going down as a new favorite. Light, fluffy layers wrapped around rich, gooey chocolate that practically melts the moment it hits your mouth. This dessert alone is worth the visit.
Final Thoughts
Bagel Chicks Bakery is more than just a new spot—it’s an upgrade in every way. From fresh bagels and sandwiches to next-level pastries, they’ve created a space that’s both nostalgic and exciting. The bakery stays true to the roots of what made Royalicious a community favorite but elevates everything for a whole new experience.
Whether you’re craving a bagel and lox, a hearty sandwich, or the perfect pastry, Bagel Chicks Bakery is your new must-visit spot in Ranson.
