Subject: Thank you

Good morning. I just wanted to send you guys a message because I’m a New Yorker (close to The Bronx) and have a daughter who has been down in North Carolina for several years. Her one complaint is never being able to find a good bagel in NC. The couple of times she’s been able to make it back up to NY since moving down south she has stopped immediately to buy herself good NY bagels. Long story short, a couple of months ago we were all devastated to learn she has an aggressive form of breast cancer and is an unusual case due to her age (27 yrs old) and the type that it is. She has gone from a vibrant carefree young woman to someone fighting for her life. She is currently undergoing chemo treatments and develops sores in her mouth and texture issues while eating due to the chemo and it’s upsetting to her. I have seen Just Bagels on QVC so many times (as I use QVC as background noise often) and took a chance last week and ordered her 2 bags of bagels. She received them 2 days ago and immediately toasted one of each variety and I’ve never seen her happier especially during her cancer battle. She was so happy she even made herself a cup of coffee to go with them. She had 2 more for her dinner that night and yesterday she had 2 for breakfast. This is the best she’s eaten during chemo since this battle began. Yesterday she was looking at the varieties of bagels you provide and made mention of some others she would like to try someday and being how good she has been eating the first two bags I placed a 2nd order for two more bags of different varieties from what I ordered her last week. So I wanted to thank you. Its not easy seeing someone you love, especially your child, battle cancer. Your bagels have been such a bright spot we truly appreciate you and hope to be able to get her some more in the future.

Subject: The BEST BAGELS ARE MADE AT JUST BAGELS!!

I have purchased the Blueberry Bagels and Sesame Bagels numerous times. The service and quality of Just Bagels products is second to none! I individually wrap in plastic wrap then in foil. They are stored in the freezer in a Ziploc. I keep a couple in my fridge at a time to eat for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are FRESH FRESH FRESH! I prefer to put in my air fryer for around 5 minutes without slicing. When you slice after toasting, the outside has a crunch and the inside is chewy. It is perfect! I rarely write reviews. JUST BAGELS quality DESERVES 10 STAR REVIEWS..

Hi I ordered your bagels thru QVC to try. I had never had a true NY bagel and wondered if there was truly a difference. I am now spoiled. These are amazing. I cannot go back to the bagels we have here in FL. Thank you for such an amazing product. I will be ordering from you from now on.

I just wanted to say thank you for the best bagels my husband and I have ever eaten! We love them and have them for breakfast 5 Days a week 😀. Pop them in the toaster oven YUM!! Crunchy on the outside soft on the inside 😋 I make breakfast sandwiches,, ham and cheese for lunch. When it cones to taste, freshness and quality there is no better bagel anywhere. We are now bagels snobs. My favs are the everything and blueberry but love everyone we have tried. I found you on QVC and ordered lots and have sent them to relatives and still do they love them as much as we do. My husband orders most of them directly from your website now. And unlike everything else during these times that are always out of stock, we can always get the best bagels ever created.

Hello, my husband is from Schenectady and his family had a camp in the Adirondacks. I’m from the Midwest. These are the best bagels we have eaten for a long time! We brought two orders . One for us and one order to share with friends. Is there any future possibility for gluten free bagels???? Thanks

Subject: Enjoy Them

I am a frequent customer of your bagels through QVC and I just wanted to share with you how much I thoroughly enjoy them!!! They are by far the best bagel out there. I am so happy I tried them over now 2 years ago when I ordered them for the first time from QVC. I make breakfast sandwiches once a week for the 2 ladies I work with and they ask me all the time where I get my bagels. When I tell them they can’t believe I actually order them through QVC. I told them if you want an authentic bagel, Just Bagels is the only way to go. They are just delicious. Just wanted you to know. Keep up the good work.

I found your bagels in the local Weis grocery store here in Pike county pa. Made them the other day and they are the best I have had in a very long time. I grew up in orange and Rockland countys and worked with my father in the five boroughs. Thank you for bringing us a great product.

Subject: The Best

I’ve been a customer for a while now and I just want you to know how much I admire how you run your business. You have been generous to me in the past when I inquired about the high shipping cost. I have seen you on QVC. You are a very nice man. I have ordered both from QVC and your website, depending on the price and selections. This time I ordered directly from you since your Black Friday special was impossible to pass up. I have to say, you didn’t scrimp on the size of the bagels. If anything, in this order the bagels are even bigger! In this day and age where products have gotten smaller or more expensive, you continue to do business the old fashioned way, putting the customer and your reputation first, before profits. Your bagels are the best, even the ones I got many years ago when I lived in Canarsie! Thank you for all you do for your customers. I will continue to be a customer for the rest of my life. Obviously, I love bagels! I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a new year filled with all good things.

I just wanted to tell that I purchased your bagels from QVC, the Christmas in July deal they were offering. Well your Apple Cinnamon bagel has to be my absolute favorite!!! And I have never had a Plain bagel that was so delicious! I’m on my third order since. I was supposed to gift some out but they never made it out of my freezer. Your bagels are so damn good!! I do have one request, can you please make a Salted bagel. I can’t eat the Everything bagels, because I can’t eat seeds. Thank you for making such great bagels!

Goodness Goodness Goodness!! Your bagels are absolutely delicious. This is the second year we ordered them from QVC. We received the plain and the cinnamon crumb. 12 of each. Using the plain for a turkey sandwich was magnificent. And the cinnamon crumb with just a little butter is a dessert. We grew up in NY. Miss bagels down here in Virginia. So happy we found you. Yum Yum

Hi!
I ordered your bagels for the first time through QVC. I received my order promptly, got the sesame, plain and blueberry crunch, And I must say they are the best bagels I’ve ever had!
So far I’ve only eaten the sesame, as they are my very favorite of all time! Again the best sesame bagel I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try the blueberry crunch and the plain!
Please add me to your customer database and include me in upcoming promotions and new products!
I’m originally from Buffalo New York, but I’ve been in Orlando Florida for over 30 years. I would recommend you guys to anyone! Keep up the good work and happy holidays!

I purchased Just Bagels from QVC. I received them in a few days. I could not wait to try them. You are right, the best bagel I have eaten! This morning I toasted a Blueberry one for my husband. After eating half of it, he told me to order some for his boss for Christmas. The blueberry was wonderful with my hot tea this morning. This just might become my Saturday morning treat while my husband sleeps in !

hello,
I wanted to let you know i ordered your Everything Bagels from QVC and wanted to let you know how wonderful they are. I live in Colorado and the bagels are not good, nothing better than east-coast bagels (originally from NJ).
Do you sell to the consumer direct and ship?

have a great day!

Subject: Customer Feedback

Hello,
I recently purchased a package of your bagels from QVC. For the longest time I saw you on the screen talking about the bagels with so much enthusiasm. Since I live in NJ, I had my share of eating many bagels from many bakeries. I would like to command you on a job well done. There is nothing “just” about Just Bagels. Just Bagels are no ordinary bagels. They arrive fresh and upon arrival I froze them. When I was ready to eat, I toasted them and they came out amazing. The bagels were fresh and crispy as if they came out of the oven! They are crispy but not too crispy. Just the right amount of crunch. The flavor is refreshing meaning you can taste the simplicity of the ingredients (no preservatives added). When you eat a bagel it does not feel “heavy”. It is as light as air. The package included: plain, everything and chocolate. The chocolate bagels taste like a cake. So delicious with morning coffee. We were fighting over the last one..
Needless to say, we ran out of the bagels and will purchase more soon.
Thank you for a wonderful product. Keep up the good work. We, consumers, appreciate products made by others as if we made them ourselves at home.
Respectfully,
Galit Hod

Hey Cliff,

I just wanted to say thank you for having your bagels available at QVC. I have never heard of your company before, and I tried them several months back and I am so glad that I did. I just ordered the combo and also the blueberry crumb today. I shared some of my poppy seed and sesame seed from a prior order with an elderly friend who loves bagels, and she was absolutely delighted. I am sure she will be ordering as well. It means a lot to put a smile on my mom’s face as her health is not good and your bagels do just that.

Thank you again and stay safe,
Kelly

Hi,

Just had to write a note because we have been getting these bagels through FreshDirect and they are amazing!!!!! Best bagels we have ever gotten outside of a bagel store.

Thank you for making an awesome product!

And even better is that when we leave New York, we can have them shipped!!!

Have a great day!

Subject: 100% Whole Wheat Bagels

Dear Just Bagels,

I am the PICKIEST bagel/bread/roll eater that pretty much anyone around me knows, and I stumbled upon your whole wheat bagel last Sunday at a Whole Foods on the way home from a weekend getaway in Tulsa, OK. Whoa! Now THAT is what I call a great bagel!
Anyhoo, I would like to order online, but I am not sure which one is the correct bagel OR if the ones that I bought at Whole Foods are even offered via online.
Also, please let me know which one/or if that one would be correct as being WHOLE WHEAT. I also would like to know if it is in fact, considered 100% whole wheat (I would still buy them, but I really desire excellent-tasting 100% WW bread items).
Thank you so much–I can’t believe I’ve finally found my “forever” bagel!
Forever indebted, and I’ll shout it from the Internet and beyond, Carolyn

Over the weekend I was visiting my cousin Chris and was lucky enough to try your bagels… INSTANT FAN! I am a pretty tough food critic and even more picky about my breakfast, haha. I haven’t been able to get you off the brain (you were definitely a highlight of the weekend) and I was just telling my coworkers all about you.

Well, it wasn’t enough; I felt compelled to look in to you further, and after perusing your site, I feel confident that we might benefit from an introduction.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Your newest fan,
Matt

I was lucky enough to buy Just Bagels here in Austin recently, although I can’t remember where I got them! I thought it was at Whole Foods, but I can’t find them there now. They are amazing bagels, and I want more! Could you let me know if there are any stores in Austin selling your bagels?

Subject: Thanks again

Hi Dominique,

Well, our surprise was an unqualified success!  My husband will open his presents when he gets home from work tonight, but I thought that it would be best to give him your bagels this morning before he had breakfast.  He wasn’t expecting this at all, and he was just delighted.  I told him why I’d left the box intact, and he was really impressed with your personal attention.  Then he opened the box & found that you’d put in that nice birthday greeting – complete with bow!  Over & above, Dominique, over & above 🙂

Of course, he immediately sliced one & toasted it.  It was pronounced a genuine treat!  I know he’ll never again be happy just getting by with the bagels he can get here in McAlester ;]

Thanks again for everything.  You can be sure that we’ll both highly recommend “Just Bagels”!

Bethe

Subject: You

Hi Andy;

I just had to tell you….

how much fun you make the job. You are there at every food show, busting your butt with a smile upon your face and jokes ripping out of your mouth!! All kidding aside, no other manufacturer works as hard as you do. As your broker rep, we are responsible for setting up and breaking down, ordering the samples, hauling the oven and getting the accoutrements (cream cheese). But you Andy, you set up with your burlap table cloth, dropping your seeds all over. You heave that oven onto the table and even bring your own oven mitts, your own latex gloves!! You bake and give samples…it’s your booth, your show, you know the customers…you are out there selling, bringing them in and showing them, what a true New York bagel is.

There isn’t a manufacturer that I would rather work with and look forward to working with, not because you do it, but because you have so much passion for it. Every time, you teach me something new; and that passion rubs off onto me!!

Thanks Andy for always being you and making the dreaded food show so much more fun!

These are by far the best tasting bagels I ever had. A friend told me about them, I always complained about not being able to find a good bagel for many years now. He ordered some for me as a gift, and what a great gift it was.

I’m originally from New York and grew up on real old fashion bagels in the 50s and 60s. These are even better than the ones I had way back then.
