Uggy

IntroducinG Ugly bagel

Our hand-rolled bagels are made to perfection with a slow ferment process using minimal ingredients. Our twelve continuous flavors will keep you coming back for more, while our monthly drops add a layer of excitement to the menu. In addition to bagels we complement them with rotational cream cheese and butters.

Meet Uggy

He’s got good taste

In a bustling bakery in the heart of Tennessee, a bagel was born and baked, boasting imperfections unlike the others. Enter Uggy. Unlike typical bagels, Uggy celebrates individuality, finding beauty (and taste) in differences. Uggy's hobbies include rolling around the bakery, spreading cheer, charm, and cream cheese, making his "rounds" to the customers and long walks on the beach. Uggy is much more than just a pretty face though, he's got heart, soul and sesame seeds in places they shouldn't be.

What is Ugly Bagel all about?

At Ugly Bagel, we believe in embracing imperfections. Our bagels might be quirky, but they're delicious. Each bagel is hand rolled and personalized for you to enjoy. We're all about spreading joy through smiles, quality food and keeping things fun and friendly.

Why are the bagels called "Ugly"?

We think bagels, like people, don't need to be "perfect" to be awesome. Our bagels are hand rolled with pride. We love our "Ugly" Bagels because each one is a little different.

Do you offer any gluten-free or vegan options?

We do not offer gluten-free at this time. Technically, plain bagels without cream cheese are vegan, but its best to acknowledge it is not a vegan-approved menu.

Can I customize my bagel or sandwich?

Of course! We are all about personalization at Ugly Bagel. The choice to customize is everywhere.

We are all a little nutty but some of our products contain peanuts or tree nuts, so unfortunately, we cannot guarantee there hasn't been cross contamination.

Yes! We provide catering for events of all sizes.
