Beam Me Up Bagels was built one bagel at a time by owners Ellen and Chris, who have been crafting bagels for more than 10 years. The journey began in 2014 with early mornings at the farmers market and a table full of fresh bagels, before growing into the much-loved bagel business it is today.
The first Beam Me Up Bagels store opened in North East Valley in 2018 and quickly built a loyal local following, with a second store opening in the city in 2020. A friendly team works across both stores, ready to welcome customers in with a smile.
Beam Me Up Bagels also offers bagel pre-orders for groups and events, along with gift vouchers, giving locals more ways to enjoy the bagels beyond a regular visit.
Beam Me Up Bagels started with early mornings at the farmers market back in 2014, when owners Ellen and Chris set up a table full of fresh bagels. More than 10 years on, that market stall has grown into a much-loved bagel business with two stores in Dunedin.
The first Beam Me Up Bagels store opened its doors in North East Valley in 2018, quickly finding a loyal local following. By 2020, demand had grown enough to open a second store in the city, giving Dunedin two spots to pick up fresh bagels.
Ellen and Chris are described as the master bakers behind the business, having spent over a decade honing their craft. Alongside them is a team across both stores who genuinely enjoy the bagels as much as the owners do — visitors are promised a happy, smiley welcome whichever store they choose.
Beyond the day-to-day bagel counter, Beam Me Up Bagels offers a bagel pre-order service for groups and events, making it easier to plan ahead for a gathering. Gift vouchers are also available for anyone wanting to share the bagel love with someone else.
The team behind Beam Me Up Bagels says they're always looking to the future, with more plans in the works beyond their current two stores — a sign that the bagel-only farmers market stall from 2014 has come a long way.
Beam Me Up Bagels is open daily from 8:30am to 2:30pm, with slightly later hours of 9:30am to 2:30pm on public holidays. With a decade of bagel-making experience behind it, the City store carries on the same approach that built the brand's loyal following in North East Valley.
