Pumpkin-shaped bagels have TikTokers driving 15 hours for the viral treat

As a seasoned traveler who has traversed miles for some of the most unique culinary experiences, I simply cannot resist the allure of the viral pumpkin bagel. The sight of those adorable orange and green creations beckons me like a siren’s call, promising a taste of autumn in every bite.


As Halloween draws near, there’s a surge in popularity for eerie-inspired fads and sweets. A notable example is the pumpkin-flavored bagel that’s currently trending online.

The pumpkin-shaped bagel, boasting its sticky texture, is recognized by its vibrant orange body and green stem. Food enthusiasts are raving about it, even traveling up to 15 hours to enjoy this adorable delicacy often referred to as the “cutest bagel ever.

The bagel is cut just like any regular one, allowing you to customize it according to your taste. Be it a layer of cream cheese, bacon, eggs, and cheese, or something else entirely, you’re sure to make a great choice.

Although the bagel’s vibrant orange hue symbolizes autumn, its taste is reminiscent of a simple, unadorned bagel.

Where to find the pumpkin bagel 

You can discover the famed pumpkin bagel from TikTok at The Bagel Nook. According to a recent announcement by the company, their branches are situated in Middletown, Matawan, Freehold, and Princeton, all in New Jersey. Interestingly, The Bagel Nook has another location in Las Vegas, Nevada as well.

Customers across the country can enjoy The Bagel Nook’s popular pumpkin bagels, as they are now available for purchase online via Goldbelly’s website. A minimum order of a dozen pumpkin bagels is required to place an order.

In terms of cost, a baker offers a dozen bagels online at $64.95 (pre-tax). The unique taste of the season can be savored on customers’ plates until Thanksgiving, as the special pumpkin bagel, available only for a limited time, will no longer be offered after that date.

Furthermore, you can discover the pumpkin-flavored bagel at Bobby’s Bagel Café, which has branches in Herndon, Oakton, and Reston, Virginia.

TikTokers obsess over the pumpkin bagel

Talia, a TikToker, decided to visit The Bagel Nook in Las Vegas after noticing how popular their pumpkin-shaped bagels had become online. “I got up at 6:30 am just to get a pumpkin-flavored bagel, and I can honestly say there’s nothing I would change about that decision,” she stated.

“I really couldn’t get over just how cute this thing was,” she added 

Caroline Grace, a popular TikToker, sampled the internet-famous pumpkin bagels from Bobby’s Bagel Cafe. Her verdict: “They were scrumptious and definitely worth the journey.” She and her companion made a special trip to taste them. The comments section was filled with viewers discussing whether the travel time was justified, as they found the bagels exceptionally cute.

As a dedicated TikTok enthusiast, I myself took a 15-hour journey to Bobby’s Bagel Cafe, and let me tell you, the pumpkin bagel experience was something worth sharing! Although I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t infused with the traditional pumpkin flavor, I must admit, it was truly a fantastic bagel.

This Halloween, you could also savor some popular themes such as organizing a chilling photo session, replicating a well-known viral dish, or preparing a “Boo” basket filled with treats in the colors of orange and black for your pals.
