New Openings: Clutch Bagels, Market & Maple, Hydrangea House, and Gifted Hands Academy; Closures: La Maison and Lucy’s BBQ

Clutch Bagels and Spreads, a popular New York City-style bagel restaurant, has found a new home in Miller Beach. Owners Tien Doman and Chris Graham, who started with a food truck selling hand-rolled bagels, have now opened a permanent location at 444 Lake St.

The restaurant, known for its traditional hand-rolled, boiled, and baked bagels, offers 17 varieties of bagels until they sell out. In addition to bagels, they also bake a variety of breads, including hoagies, focaccia, English muffins, and brioche buns.

“We limit orders to one dozen and encourage people to come in to order so they can have the full bagel shop experience,” said Dorman. “Popular flavors include everything, asiago, and pumpernickel.”

Clutch Bagels seats 14 people inside and plans to offer outdoor seating in the courtyard when the weather gets better. The restaurant caters to a to-go business but also welcomes customers to dine in.

“We’re told the traffic picks up a lot when people go to the beach in the summer,” Graham said. “Our menu is convenient and clutchable, ba dum tss, to take to the beach. You can pack it up. Come early to have the widest selection of bagels so you don’t get peeved if you can’t get anything. There’s nothing like it in this area if you’re into bagels. We’ve got good ones.”

Clutch Bagels is open daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, visit their website or find them on Facebook.
