Manville's Favorite Bagelry
Every Bagel Told
With Plum & Seed
Hand-rolled, parboiled, and wood-fired — our small-batch bagels arrive golden and chewy at your table. From classic everything to seasonal specials, each one carries the same devotion it did on day one.
Our Story
Rooted in the
Heart of Manville
Bagelicious III isn't a franchise or a chain — it's a neighborhood staple built on the belief that a bagel should taste like something made by someone who cares.
Every morning, our team arrives before dawn to mix, shape, and bake. The result is a bagel with a crisp, lacquered crust and a crumb that springs back — the way it should. We source local dairy for our spreads, work with regional bakers for our bread, and keep the menu tight so nothing ever feels rushed.
It's simpler that way. It's better that way.
The Craft
Four Steps,
One Standard
Mix & Rest
We start with a long cold ferment — 18 hours minimum. This develops flavor and gives the dough its signature elasticity.
Shape by Hand
Every bagel is formed individually. No machines, no shortcuts. The shape affects how the crust sets and how the interior textures.
Parboil
A quick bath in simmering water sets the crust before it hits the oven. This is what gives a bagel its glossy, lacquered finish.
Bake & Cool
Baked in small batches until deep golden. Cooled on racks so the crust stays crisp and the crumb stays tender.
Kind Words
What Neighbors Say
The plum bagel changed how I think about bagels. I drove past three other shops on the way here — this is the one that matters.
We stop here every Saturday morning. The staff knows our order by heart, and the coffee is genuinely good. Rare combo.
I ordered a dozen for a family brunch and every single person asked where we got them. The everything bagel is unreal.
