★ Yelp's Top 102024Yelp / Dallas Observer Feature

Named to Yelp's Top 10 Bagel Shops in US & Canada

Dan's Bagels was named to Yelp's Top 10 Bagel Shops in the US & Canada — the brand's highest-profile recognition to date, and the moment that put a Texas artisan bagel shop on the national map. The Dallas Observer covered the honor as validation of everything Dan and Jen Hilbert have built: a proprietary 48-hour sourdough process, hand-rolled bagels, kettle-boiled in malt water, and a community-first culture that refused to take shortcuts. To be listed alongside the best bagel shops from New York, New Jersey, Montreal, and beyond — from a little shop in Trophy Club, Texas — is the kind of recognition that only comes from thousands of customers voting, one bagel at a time.
