FAQs
How does a pop-up bagelry work?
Mogi Bagel is a pop-up business, which means we don't have a storefront. We make our bagels in a commissary kitchen and sell them at farmers markets and cool businesses around the Twin Cities. See where we'll be next here!
Do you have a storefront?
Not yet! We make the bagels in a commercial kitchen and sell them at pop-ups and farmers markets around the Twin Cities.
Can I mix and match my bagels?
We sell our bagels in 3-of-a-kind packs, so the minimum you can get of a single flavor is 3.
Can I pre-order for farmers markets?
No, bagels at farmers markets are first come, first serve.
I have food allergies. Are your bagels safe for me to eat?
We try our best to keep allergens separate but the bagels are all made in the same kitchen on the same equipment where allergens are present, so it's up to you on how comfortable you feel with that.
All of the bagels contain wheat. Sesame and Everything bagels have sesame seeds on top. Cacio e Pepe bagels contain milk (cheese). Blueberry contains sunflower oil. All bagels besides the Cacio e Pepe and Honey Rosemary are naturally vegan. We do not use nuts or added oils in any of our products.
Please ask for information about our bagel of the month as this information may not apply to that flavor.
Do you make gluten-free bagels?
Nope, sorry. We hear Atuvava Bakery makes gluten-free bagels on select days!
Is it pronounced Mogi or Moji?
Moe-ghee. Rhymes with hoagie!
What does Mogi mean?
Mogi (rhymes with hoagie) is a childhood nickname given to me by my sisters. When I had the idea to start a bagel company, my sisters immediately responded with "Mogi Bagel!" And it just stuck.
What does "New York style" mean?
New York style bagels are made with flour, salt, yeast, and barley malt. They are boiled in water with barley malt before baking in a traditional oven. This is a contrast to Montreal style bagels, which contain eggs, honey, and no salt, and are baked in a wood-fired oven.
How long will my bagels stay fresh?
About a day or two on the counter, months in the freezer. They'll keep best if they're transferred to a plastic bag or container. Do NOT put your bagels in the fridge, they will get hard and crusty! If you're not going to eat all of your bagels the day you get them, you should slice and freeze them. That way they'll stay as fresh as the day you got them! This bag is a great option to keep bagels fresh.
Why should I slice before freezing?
Because it's really hard to slice a frozen bagel. If you slice before freezing, you can put frozen bagels directly into the toaster/oven!
