Bagelman currently has three area locations: Mill Plain Road and Padanaram Road in Danbury, and Candlewood Lake Road in Brookfield. Think about that Northern New Milford residents, you won't even have to dip your toe onto the highway portion of Rt. 7 for a fresh dozen and a cup of inspiration behind that orange logo.

Thank you for your time in serving us in New Milford Bagel Barn, I really enjoyed the 2 or 3 dozen that I've had from you, and congratulations on your Northerly expansion Bagelman, I'll see you soon.
