ABOUT BAGELS ‘N GRINDS
Welcome to Bagels ‘n Grinds with two great locations to serve you, Arundel Mills and College Park. At Bagels ‘n Grinds you can experience 16 different varieties of hot delicious bagels baked fresh daily starting at 5:30 a.m. and throughout the day as needed. Our bagels are authentic New York style bagels made just like they were 100 years ago.
Bagels ‘n Grinds bagels are crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Our secret to making the perfect bagel is in our 10-step proprietary process and includes using the highest quality ingredients, ultra-purified water and special handling of the dough. Top them off with a choice of 6 homemade spreads.
Bagels ‘n Grinds features a glass-enclosed $50,000 water treatment facility that is incorporated into the viewable baking process at the restaurant. “The ability to use ultra-purified water in the bagel-making process enhances the texture and flavor of our bagels,” said Adam Greenberg, owner of Bagels ‘n Grinds. However, Greenberg notes that “the water treatment process does not stop with the bagel recipe.”
Our water treatment facility makes three different types of water. We use this water in our coffee at our 18- foot beverage station, so that our patrons receive only the best and purest products available.” The beverage station includes: soda, six brews of fresh hot coffee, iced coffee and fresh brewed iced tea.
Bagels ‘n Grinds offers a menu of delicious sandwiches, salads and soups. On the warm side we offer made-to-order Eggstreme Omelet Breakfast Sandwiches with the toppings mixed right in. All the egg sandwiches can be made with egg whites or egg substitutes. Sandwiches include hot baginnis (bagel- panini), as well as wraps.
On the cold side, Bagels ‘n Grinds delivers a fresh twist on Roast Beef, Turkey, Clubs and Veggie sandwich creations with delightful compliments like feta cheese and herb aioli.

Our extreme salad menu includes a “Make-Your-Own-Salad” option where you can choose among a selection of lettuce mixes, gourmet dressings, and toppings. All lettuce and veggies are washed and prepared in-house. Bagels ‘n Grinds never uses bagged lettuce, and all of our poultry is freshly cooked on-site.
We also offer a variety of cookies, brownies, yogurt parfaits, and muffins all made on- site to help satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. Both of our locations offer indoor and outdoor seating. Enjoy our amenities such as free internet access, our fireplace, LED TVs, and semi-private conference areas in both locations that can be reserved for meetings and business gatherings.
