Picture this: You’re scrolling through Instagram and suddenly stop dead in your tracks. Is that a pumpkin? Wait, no—it’s a bagel shaped like a pumpkin, and it’s so realistic you’d swear it just rolled in from a roadside farmstand. Welcome to Bobby’s Bagel Café, where carbs meet creativity in the most spectacular way possible.
Back in 2020, Bobby’s dropped what might be the most genius food trend of the decade: bagels that don’t just taste like the season—they look like it too. These are architectural marvels, complete with authentic ridges and stems that would make actual pumpkins jealous.
The internet went absolutely feral. Millions of views. People planning entire road trips around bagel runs. But the kicker is that they actually deliver on taste. Picture sinking your teeth into that delectably chewy texture schmeared to perfection with pumpkin cream cheese.
The creativity doesn’t stop at Halloween. Turkey bagels for Thanksgiving. Santa bagels for Christmas. Each release becomes its own event at Bobby’s Herndon and Oakton locations, with devoted fans refreshing social feeds for the latest drops. BobbysBagelCafe.com
