Baby’s Bagels has expanded from the Downtown Farmers Market into its first storefront, according to an October 20 report from the Salt Lake Chamber.
Co-owner Eric Valchuis stated that the business aims to bring world-class bagels to Utah. The storefront serves bagels, house-made spreads, and drinks.
The bagels are made using organic flour from Logan and are hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and baked fresh daily. The menu includes classic sandwiches such as egg and cheese, lox, tuna, and veggie.
Valchuis noted that the business concept was inspired by neighborhood establishments from his childhood outside Boston. The shop emphasizes a short menu and meticulous execution, with orders taken by staff members.
In addition to daytime bagel service, the location hosts Pie Boy, a pizza pop-up, at night. Pie Boy follows a similar business model with a short menu and a focus on quality.
