Kismet Bagels

What started as a pandemic hobby in a Fishtown rowhome is now one of the most beloved bagel operations in the city. Jacob and Alexandra Cohen built Kismet from scratch during the early weeks of COVID, selling to neighbors and donating proceeds to Project Home before the thing took on a life of its own. The bagels are made using a long fermentation process that gives them serious crust without sacrificing the chew inside, and the house-made spreads use fresh local ingredients with no preservatives. Three locations in and counting.
