Mocha Bagels Now Hand-Rolling And Baking On Smith Street

Mocha Bagels at 202 Smith Street on the corner of Baltic Street, opened its doors on Saturday, and by Sunday, the place was doing a brisk business. No wonder. The delicious smell of freshly baked bagels was wafting out onto the sidewalk, and passers-by were drawn right in.

When I stopped by, a new batch of hand-rolled goodness was just coming out of the oven in the back.

Mocha Bagels offers a complete deli counter, muffins and cake, and a huge beverage selection. Of course, as per its name, the store offers a complete array of caffeinated beverages.

The staff is super friendly and obviously eager to make this business a success. The young owner explained to me that he intends to add a few tables to the space so that people can eat in.

Give this place a try. The multi-grain Everything bagel is incredible. But frankly, they all looked good.

'Mocha Bagels' On Smith Almost Ready For Grand Opening

Since October, the storefront at 202 Smith Street in Boerum Hill has been surrounded by a construction fence, but yesterday, workers were finally removing it to reveal Smith Street's newest bagel shop, Mocha Bagels . From the looks of it, the place is ready for its grand opening fairly soon.
Prior to this, 202 Smith Street was home to the A & H Tobacco and Candy Store.

Since that end of Smith Street doesn't have a bagel store yet, it probably will do well. What do you think?

At The Corner Of Smith And Baltic, Action At Two Adjacent Storefronts

The short-lived "Jessie's Kitchen", at the intersection of Smith and Baltic Street, has been closed for more than two years now.  However, in the last few days, the storefront  at # 200 Smith is finally seeing some action. A plywood fence has been erected around the storefront, but a quick check on the NYC Department Of Building's web site reveals that the entire building will be undergoing a major renovation with a "proposed horizontal enlargement at 3rd floor" at an estimated cost of $60 k. ( The building already has a two story extension along the Baltic Street side.  Obviously, the plan is to expand on that extension on the third floor level.)
No indication yet on what is going into the storefront.


Right across the street, at 202 Smith Street, interior work is being done on the existing commercial space.
Until recently, the space was occupied by the A & H Tobacco And Candy store.
Most probably, we'll get yet another eatery there.
