Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with five locations in Connecticut, has expanded its signature bagel line with featured flavors.
Between Rounds’ featured bagels are offered for a limited time and may include unique flavors as well as seasonal bagels. Throughout 2026, the bagel franchise is set to roll out five featured bagels, which will be offered for a limited time:
Cranberry Orange, a sweet and tart citrus bagel featured in January, February, and March.
In March, Between Rounds is also featuring green (colored) signature bagels in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
A Chonion bagel combines their two most popular savory bagels, cheddar cheese and onion, and will be featured in April, May, June and July. The Chonion bagel has a bold flavor profile that is perfect topped with plain or flavored cream cheese and even better when served in place of bread in a favorite breakfast or lunch sandwich.
Just in time for “Pumpkin Spice season”, Pumpkin bagels will feature in August, September, and October.
In November and December, Between Rounds will feature French Toast bagels, which are made with a maple and cinnamon swirl, similar to the taste of French toast topped with maple syrup.
“We enjoy creating new and exciting bagel flavors for our customers,” said Jerry Puiia, co-founder of Between Rounds. “Essentially, our featured flavors enable us to offer new flavors on a limited basis to see how well they are received. For example, our Jalapeño Cheddar bagel started out as a featured flavor, but was very well-received and in high demand, so we made it one of our staple flavors offered daily.”
Bagel Varieties
Between Rounds signature bagel line includes more than a dozen different kinds of bagels each day, which include: Jalapeño Cheddar, Everything, Asiago, Cheddar, Whole Wheat, Blueberry, Spinach, Cornmeal, Pumpernickel, Garlic, Egg, Onion, Poppy, Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin, and Plain.
Puiia continued, “Our signature bagels are made from the same family recipe for more than 35 years now. Our bagels are delicious as is or toasted and topped with cream cheese or a preferred topping. Customers looking for ways to enhance their breakfast or lunch sandwich ‘flavor profile’ may simply replace sandwich bread or roll with their favorite Between Rounds bagel.”
Wholesale Bagels
Between Rounds signature bagels are also offered at wholesale partner retailers. The bagels are sold in four-packs of their most popular flavors: Plain, Sesame, Poppy, Everything, Asiago, Jalapeño Cheddar, and Cheddar bagels. (Feature flavors are not part of wholesale offerings.)
