Come & Taste It!
Back East, some folks feel that truly great bagels ONLY come from NYC or maybe Montreal! Bless their hearts...
We are proud to be the Original Oak-Fired Texas Bagelry™, with flavors that are a little bigger and a little bolder, just like everything else Texans do. We use old-school ingredients & techniques to make bagels inspired by those from both New York and Montreal, but still uniquely ours. To those who may say, “Well, that’s not how we do it back East,” we say “Come and Taste It.” ;-)
Are there VEGAN options too?
Absolutely! We boil our bagels in water sweetened with AGAVE, not honey, so just about all of them are 100% vegan! We also have TOFU-based spreads. A few of our flavors do contain bacon or cheese, as their name suggests.
Are y'all at the airport?
We sure ARE! Check us out at the San Antonio airport, where we're open from 4 am EVERY DAY with some of our most popular flavors of bagels and schmear, along with a selection of our best-selling sandwiches. See y'all there!
Did you say Montreal?!
Yep! We blend the classic taste and texture of New York bagels with the sweet, smokey flavors of bagels from Montreal, where wood-burning ovens like ours have been an essential part of bagel baking for over 100 years. Montreal bagels are more "tear & drag" than "slice & schmear" and arguably even... let's not go there.
Who's the BOSS?
Erik & Katie Yeargan took over from founders Brannon & Christie Soileau in 2022, with plans to expand and build a legacy business for their five children.
Erik is a 4th gen native Texan who lived in Montreal for almost 20 years, so he took it as a serious sign when he visited B.O.S.S. for the first time and saw a painting of the same famous Montreal bagelry where two of his sons worked for years as students. Katie is originally from the East Bay in Northern CA, but she got here as soon as she could, with decades of experience in family business & franchise building. (Psst! If you'd like to hear more about franchising, click here.)
