A new artisanal bagel shop is coming to Dallas in early 2023.
Starship Bagel, soon to be open on Elm Street along the Stone Street Gardens, will serve New York-style bagels with all the Yankee fixings.
First opening in Lewisville in 2021, Starship Bagel has stuck to a classic variety of bagels, made in small batches with high-end ingredients and almost entirely vegan, except for its egg bagels. Various vegan shmears are also available, including plain, garden veggie, lox, and fermented jalapeno.
Starship Bagel is primarily known for its bagels with lox — plain cream cheese topped with brined salmon. Additionally, the store serves coffee from Arkansas-based Onyx Coffee Lab.
Oren Salomon is the founder of Starship Bagel, and he prides himself on his bagels, which are made fresh daily.
Aside from its storefront, Starship Bagel has a delivery program that wholesales bagels to local cafes. These locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area include Merit Coffee, Fiction Coffee, Lemma Coffee, and Staycation in Richardson.
If you are in the store’s delivery radius, you can have bagels delivered directly to your house but only on Saturdays and Sundays. Click here for their delivery webpage.
Bagels are a prime candidate for delivery as they transport so easily, Salomon told CultureMap Dallas, noting, “They’re very portable … A fresh bagel can last at least 6-8 hours.”
Downtown Dallas Inc. helped Salomon acquire the new space in Dallas. The company also provided him with chairs and tables for the storefront as part of its initiative to improve downtown Dallas’ public spaces.
The Dallas location’s menu will stick to the classics from Starship Bagel’s Lewisville location. Salomon wants to get people to taste the bagels themselves, not any crazy ingredients or sandwich concoctions.
“Bagels demand a high foot-traffic walk-up culture, and downtown Dallas is the best neighborhood in DFW to match the tone of bagels,” said Salomon, signaling high hopes for the Dallas location.
He also hopes that New Yorkers visiting downtown will be tempted to try his New York-style authentic bagels.
