The small-batch homemade bagel shop that had been operating through pop-ups and pick-ups just had a soft opening for its first retail location and will officially open on July 10th. You can now head to 2787 Old Winter Garden Rd in Ocoee to pick up some bagels!
Jeff’s Bagel is owned and operated by Jeff Perera (the Jeff in Jeff’s Bagel) and Danielle Perera, a husband and wife duo. The Pereras started a Kickstarter crowfund in an effort to open a brick-and-mortar location and quickly achieved their goal of $10,000 in less than three hours with the overwhelming support of their fans. The Kickstarter closed out at under $23,000 which helped the Pereras launch their shop.
“When my wife and I moved to Winter Garden in 2016 we began our search to find a good bagel,” according to their official website. “This was not only hard to do, but nearly impossible. The closest bagel we found was a 40 minute drive away. This wasn’t going to work for us.” This is how Jeff Perera started making bagels.
Jeff’s Bagels serve New York style bagels that are hand-rolled and boiled. The shop launched in August 2019 and is now opening it’s first location in July 2021. Follow them on Instagram for updates.
