Chewy's Bagels

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Chewy’s bagel display case—a bagel adorned with sprinkles arranged into an uncanny resemblance of a smiling face. No one had seen it before, and yet every day after that, another whimsical design appeared. Was it a prank, or did someone on staff possess magical baking powers? Finally, a delivery driver joked that maybe Chewy was secretly an alien trying to communicate through bagels. The next day, everyone found a bagel shaped like a spaceship with a tiny flag waving from its hatch. Laughs filled the air as they realized it was just good ol’ Chewy having fun with his dough.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Chewy’s Bagels and was startled by an eerie sound—like someone humming ‘Happy Birthday’ very softly but perfectly on key. He looked around, but no one was there. Curious, he followed the tune inside and found only empty shelves and closed doors. Just as he was about to leave, a soft voice whispered from behind: 'Thank you for your kind birthday wishes!' Turning quickly, he saw nobody—but his coffee cup suddenly filled with steamy hot chocolate. A regular from down the street had left it anonymously.

3. One morning, as Chewy’s Bagels was opening its doors, an unusual announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our special today is a bagel with a smiley face—no extra charge!’ Soon enough, customers started lining up just for the mysterious smiling bagel. A delivery driver even claimed he saw Chewy himself, a tiny anthropomorphic creature in a chef hat, rolling dough late at night. The legend grew until one day, an elderly neighbor approached the owner and asked if they could get their daily bagel without the smiley face—it gave them indigestion. And thus, Chewy’s Bagels became known not only for its delectable treats but also for its quirky sense of humor.

4. At closing time, the night manager locked up Chewy’s Bagels and walked out into the quiet street. Suddenly, he heard a soft voice calling from inside the shop: ‘Wait!’ The manager peered through the window, puzzled but curious. A small shadowy figure appeared behind the counter, holding a freshly baked bagel. 'I couldn’t resist,' it whispered. The manager smiled and unlocked the door again, knowing full well that sometimes even the quietest streets have their own sweet surprises.
