Levend

Levend is at the bottom of the list of best bagels in Boston. This bakery in the Boston Public Market offers flavors like pepper jack, herb cheddar, and sourdough. Their hot and fresh bagels are delicious, but what makes Levend stand out are their frozen bagels. Order a dozen for pickup or delivery and you'll always have a fresh bagel on hand.

Their name is derived from the Dutch word for alive or living, which is essential in the magical transformation of flour, water, and salt into the wonderful leavened bagels and loaves that they adore. Each of their products' journey begins with their sourdough culture, which provides the spark for the rising process. It takes 48 hours from the time they are mixed until they are ready to be boiled and baked to achieve the perfect crackling crust and soft chewy interior, thanks to King Arthur Organic Flour and organic malt extract. Their mission is to provide the best baked goods possible by sourcing the highest quality local and organic ingredients and committing to perfection by handshaping each bagel, running endless test batches, and incorporating your feedback into each of their final products.

They began baking out of a shared commercial kitchen while searching for the perfect retail location and scaling up their recipes after years of dreaming, testing recipes, and extensive sampling of breads and baked goods from around the world. After receiving such positive feedback on their bagels and housemade cream cheese, they decided to establish a permanent stall at the Boston Public Market in July 2016. They are thrilled to be surrounded by a community of food producers and entrepreneurs who are equally committed to supporting the local economy and promoting all that their region has to offer.
