If you find yourself craving the chewy, golden-crusted perfection of an authentic New York bagel, look no further than Fin’s Bagels, which delivers the real-deal bagel experience right in the heart of Honolulu. Opened in early 2025, the shop offers bagels that strike the perfect balance between chewy interiors and golden-crusted exteriors. Their bagels are sourced directly from a family-owned business in New York, where they are hand-rolled and kettle-boiled before being flash-frozen and shipped to Hawai‘i. Once on the island, the bagels are baked daily before customization with a variety of flavors and toppings. Guests at their hip shop can choose from bagel flavors such as plain, everything, sesame, cinnamon raisin and Asiago cheese. House-made cream cheeses in flavors ranging from roasted garlic to banana caramel add another layer of flavor, but what truly sets Fin’s Bagels apart from the competition is the house-cured fish. From mahi mahi pastrami to ahi prosciutto and even classic smoked salmon, their fish is tender and flavorful, complementing the bagels perfectly. For bold flavors, friendly service and a classic New York bagel with a local twist, Fin’s Bagels is the spot you won’t want to miss.
