The holidays bring a sense of tradition, comfort, and nostalgia, and few places capture that feeling better than Bagel Chicks.
The original location maintains a strong sense of community that deepens during the holiday season. People still search for us under Royalicious, still talk about Royalicious, and still remember the bakery that once defined the area.
Bagel Chicks honors that legacy by carrying forward the spirit of warm, familiar, comforting food in a place that brings people together.
For many customers, the holidays begin the moment they walk in the door and smell fresh bagels toasting, hot soup simmering, and pastries warming.
Whether they once visited Royalicious or discovered Bagel Chicks more recently, the emotional connection remains the same. It’s a place where cold mornings feel brighter, family outings start with warm food, and busy days slow down for just long enough to enjoy something that feels homemade.

It becomes a gathering place for families meeting after shopping trips, friends catching up between holiday errands, and regulars who want something comforting before heading out into the cold.
