Kiva’s emphasizes tradition when it comes to the making of its bagels. Every single bagel, for each of the three locations, takes a 12-hour time period to prepare with much care paid to hand rolling and kettle boiling. Although people have been making bagels this way for centuries, Kiva’s opened its doors in 1972 and has since expanded into additional restaurant and bakery locations, a gourmet prepared food and cheese shop and offers a full-service catering and wholesale bakery. If you’re not in the mood for a bagel — or don’t want just a bagel — Kiva’s also makes great fresh omelettes, salads and soups that can stand on their own or accompany a big bagel sandwich as a side.
