Gs Is Filling The Bagel-Sized Hole In Cairo's Culinary Soul
Gs Is Filling The Bagel-Sized Hole In Cairo's Culinary Soul From Manhattan Isle to The Isle, Sheikh Zayed, two sisters are on a mission to bring its much-needed schmear fix. When my parents flew in to visit me in Cairo, they asked the usual question: What should we bring you? My answer was immediate and embarrassingly desperate: Bagels. Proper, chewy, New York-Style bagels. Because while Cairo may have conquered most cuisines, there has long existed a bagel-shaped void in the city's foodscape. Apparently, I wasn't alone in my yearning. Sisters Naira and Hajar Abo Elnaga felt it too, and decided to do something about it. Enter G's Bagels & Coffee, a one-stop-shop where bagels are the main event, not just an afterthought. The idea began on an innocent trip to New York. Hajar Alhoussein Abo Elnaga was completing the quintessential New York activity - waiting in line for a bagel - and she had an epiphany. Cairo was missing out. Big time. One phone call later, Naira, Hajar's sister, had booked her own ticket to New York. Together, they began their doughy revolution. Taking inspiration from the iconic cross sections of New York's stacked bagel sandwiches, the menu was crafted in collaboration with Chef Omar Abdelaziz. It's all about bold flavours and visual drama. Think Tropical Roast Beef Bagel (Naira's favourite) or the Falafel Bagel that stole the show this Ramadan. And for the bagel purists, there's an entire lineup of schmears - those dreamy cream cheese spreads - to further enforce the authenticity of their New York style offerings. 'We knew we wanted to create the best flavors, finest quality ingredients, and uniquely crafted layers,' Hajar and Naira tell SceneEats. 'We engineered our menu to suit every time of the day.' Because of course bagels should never be limited to the province of 'breakfast food' - they're an all-day affair. Thanks to Naira's graphic design background, G's is dripping in visual flair too. From the vibrant branding to the store's punchy interior, every detail reflects the brand's personality: 'fun, young, joyful, and vibrant.' And yes, there's more to come. G's is planning on spreading their gospel of carbs and cream cheese to bagel-starved locations across Egypt and beyond. The bagel revolution is coming. Schmear the word.

Brooklyn Water Bagel Opens in Port St. Lucie with Two New Locations
10-Unit Deal Expands New York-Style Bagel Restaurants Across Florida's Treasure Coast PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Brooklyn Water Bagel, Florida's leading bagel brand known for its authentic New York-style bagels, is thrilled to announce the opening of two new locations in Port St. Lucie. Now open for business, the brand has introduced a new corporate location and a new franchised restaurant, owned by Dean Tendrich, a well-known TV personality and businessman in southern Florida. Residents of Port St. Lucie can now enjoy Brooklyn Water Bagel's great breakfast and lunch offerings at the following locations: 1319 St. Lucie West Blvd and 10350 SW Village Center Drive (in the Tradition Shopping Center by Publix). Both stores are open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. At Brooklyn Water Bagel, it's 'All About The Water,' due to the brand's proprietary, multi-step water filtration and purification process that replicates the mineral content of New York's water – the best for baking – creating its signature bagels. Consistency is key for the renowned bagel concept, so no matter which location guests visit, they get the same great experience every time with an authentic New York-style bagel that is crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Tendrich, a former meteorologist at NewsChannel 5, is proud to open Florida's most well-known bagel franchise in Port St. Lucie, with more locations in the works. The opening on St. Lucie West Blvd is part of a 10-unit deal and is Tendrich's first official new store. 'Bringing Brooklyn Water Bagel to Port St. Lucie means a lot to me – it's not just about the bagels and coffee, it's about sharing something special with the community I've called home for many years,' said Tendrich. 'I'm excited to open a restaurant where my neighbors can count on great food, friendly faces, and an atmosphere that makes them want to come back again and again. Being part of this iconic brand's continued growth has been an absolutely incredible experience.' Tendrich's new location joins Brooklyn Water Bagel's growing footprint of restaurants across the Sunshine State. The brand continues to set the standard for fast casual dining in the breakfast and lunch category in Florida, with more locations than any other bagel restaurant in the state. 'Opening two locations in Port St. Lucie continues to solidify our brand as a breakfast and lunch mainstay in Florida. Our outlook is focused on growth, quality, authenticity, and as always, happy service,' said Dan Smith, CEO of Brooklyn Water Bagel. 'We're committed to bringing the authentic New York bagel experience to more communities through both our corporate locations and our franchised restaurants. Dean's passion for our brand and the community makes him an ideal partner for our continued growth.' For customers eager to visit these new locations, they can expect a savory breakfast menu featuring the brand's signature items, like the best-selling 'Brooklyn' – a hearty sandwich stacked with bacon, sausage, ham, egg, and cheese. The popular lunchtime menu also offers deli staples, including 'The Reuben,' crafted with tender corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. Brooklyn Water Bagel's menu would not be complete without the brand's in-house roasted coffee made with beans sourced from the coffee belt, roasted fresh, and brewed with its special mineral-enriched water for unmatched freshness and taste. The signature Cubsta Iced Coffee, featuring house-made coffee cubes, stands out as an innovative beverage that has become a fan-favorite and further reflects the brand's dedication to high-quality, premium products.
