Coffee Shop Bagel Balls

These Miniature Bagels Provide a New Way to Enjoy a Breakfast Staple

— December 7, 2015 — Lifestyle
Starbucks is set to add miniature bagels to its extensive bakery menu. In recent years, coffee shops such as Starbucks have made an effort to offer more than just espresso and lattes. Now Starbucks is providing consumers with a tasty new way to enjoy a breakfast staple.

The latest addition to the Starbucks menu is the bagel ball, which is essentially a bagel-inspired variation of the donut hole. The miniature bagels come from Bantam Bagels, which is a New York City-based bakery that is famous for the doughy creations. The Starbucks bagel balls come in three flavors, each of which is filled with a different type of creme cheese. The flavors range from the sweet French Toast variety to the savory Everything bagel ball. The bagels cost $1.75 each or $2.95 for a set of three.

Although the bagel balls have been available at select New York City locations since the summer, the tasty treats have now been added to the menu at 500 different Starbucks locations.
Trend Themes
1. Miniature Bagels - Opportunity for bakeries and cafes to offer bite-sized versions of traditional breakfast items, catering to consumers who prefer smaller portions and on-the-go options.
2. Expanding Bakery Menus - Opportunity for coffee shops and cafes to diversify their menu offerings beyond coffee and pastries, providing customers with more breakfast options and increasing sales potential.
3. Novelty Food Items - Opportunity for food establishments to attract customers with unique and innovative food creations, tapping into the trend of seeking out new and exciting culinary experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can tap into the demand for innovative breakfast options by offering their own versions of mini bagels and other bite-sized treats.
2. Coffee Shop - Coffee shops can increase customer satisfaction and sales by expanding their bakery menus to include new breakfast items like bagel balls.
3. Food Retail - Food retailers can capitalize on the popularity of novelty food items by introducing miniature bagels and other creative concoctions to their product offerings.
