A Taste of New York in University Park, MD

Nestled right beside College Park and just minutes from the University of Maryland campus, University Park is a small but vibrant town that blends tree-lined residential streets with easy access to the energy of Route 1. Locals enjoy quiet neighborhoods, nearby parks, and a close-knit community atmosphere while still being just steps away from the shops, dining, and cultural life of College Park and Hyattsville. It’s this balance of charm and convenience that makes University Park the perfect backdrop for a warm and welcoming café experience.

Bagels ’n Grinds fits seamlessly into that setting, offering neighbors, students, and visitors a place to start their day, grab a casual lunch, or simply relax with friends. Known for bringing authentic New York–style bagels to Maryland, we’ve built our reputation on more than just baking—it’s about recreating a tradition. Our proprietary water purification system mirrors the mineral composition of New York water, the not-so-secret ingredient behind the city’s famous bagels. This dedication to detail produces bagels that are crisp on the outside, perfectly soft and chewy on the inside, and always baked to golden perfection on a hearth stone.

Whether you’re a University Park resident heading out for a morning walk, a UMD student looking for a study break, or a commuter in need of a quick and satisfying meal, Bagels ’n Grinds delivers a taste of New York right here in Prince George’s County. Stop in for breakfast, enjoy a hearty lunch, or order online for takeout and catering—no matter how you join us, you’ll find quality, comfort, and community in every bite.
