The owner

Steven Fassberg

Brooklyn native. Built a company specifically to solve the problem of why bagels taste worse everywhere outside New York — the answer is the water. Developed a proprietary 14-step filtration process to replicate Catskill Mountain water chemistry. The obsession is real: the whole business exists because he couldn't let go of the Brooklyn standard.
