DETROIT – A new bagel spot is opening in Detroit’s Core City neighborhood!
James Beard-nominated chef Max Sussman is set to open Bev’s Bagels in the space where Detroit Institute of Bagels was located at 4884 Grand River Avenue this spring.
The Huntington Woods native is known for his work in New York’s culinary scene and started Bev’s Bagels as a pop-up in the Ann Arbor area.
“Making bagels is a huge passion of mine and I’m so excited to offer really great bagels to Detroit,” Sussman said. “Opening in Core City feels like an incredible opportunity to build on something that was so special to the community and still so needed.”
The spot, which is named after Sussman’s grandmother, will focus on serving organic sourdough bagels paired with creative schmears and sandwiches made with carefully sourced ingredients, like wild smoked salmon and ethically raised meat, according to a release.
“An incredible bagel has to start with incredible ingredients and ours will have organic flour, some whole grains, and use a sourdough starter,” Sussman says. “I’m pretty obsessive over the details, so the sandwiches will all have these amazing components, from creative schmears to wild smoked fish to ethically sourced meats.”
The spot is set to open sometime in late spring. It will be open daily and also focus on catering services.
Additionally, Sussman also plans to continue the Ann Arbor pop-ups after the Detroit shop opens.
