A new bagel shop is getting ready to hatch on the North Shore.
Bagel Roost is preparing to open at 46 Elm Street in Amesbury, according to recent social media updates from the business. The family-owned venture comes from Ryan, Joseph, and Tiffany Lopes, who also own Sunrise Bagel, a booming bagelry in Waterville, Maine.
“Something Good Is Hatching in Amesbury!” the team shared in a recent Facebook post. “We’re bringing years of bagel-making experience from our family’s shops in Maine, along with handcrafted sourdough bagels made the old-world way, with three days of fermentation. And we’re especially excited to bring it all to a community we call home!”
While an official menu has not yet been released, Bagel Roost’s website confirms that the shop will serve handcrafted sourdough bagels made with a three-day fermentation process, along with breakfast favorites and sandwiches.
The bagelry’s sister shop, Sunrise Bagel, offers a selection of 15 bagel varieties, from plain, poppy, and everything to Asiago, cheddar, and gluten-free options. The menu also includes a variety of schmears, including dairy-free options, and an assortment of sandwiches.
Recently filed city permits show that the vacant 2,616-square-foot building is undergoing an interior fit-out to accommodate commercial baking equipment and food-service infrastructure. The project received approval from the Amesbury Planning Board in late September, with plans to create an estimated 10 to 15 new jobs. The buildout is expected to take approximately four to six months.
A sign application filed this week indicates that Bagel Roost plans to operate Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., with weekend hours beginning at 8 a.m. The team is also hiring friendly, enthusiastic team members ahead of opening.
Bagel Roost is hoping to welcome its first guests in late December 2026. Ryan told What Now Boston that additional details are expected to be shared early next week. In the meantime, locals can follow @BagelRoost on social media for opening updates and a behind-the-scenes look at the shop’s progress.
