Amber’s Quest to Find Decent New York Style Bagels in Portola Valley
Amber,42, a single mother of a 15-year-old daughter Lilly, lived a simple but happy life in New York. Every weekend, they took a break from their busy schedules and went to this cafe around the corner to get coffee and bagels. They both looked forward to these mother-daughter dates and having their favorite New York-style bagels.
It was one fine summer morning when Amber’s life was turned upside down. Her father, who lived in Portola Valley, had suffered a massive stroke. She had to move to her father’s home overnight to take care of him.
Besides many practical problems, like enrolling Lilly into her new school and switching jobs, Amber found herself missing her New York style bagels. She also missed spending time with Lilly.
They made a pact. Every weekend, Amber and Lilly would go cafe hunting. They decided to try different places and find the perfect fit for their taste buds. However, it proved to be more difficult than they expected.
Despite trying dozens of different cafes, they still couldn’t find their spot or the authentic New York style Bagels. Most coffee shops and larger coffee chains in Portola Valley sold pre-processed food. They don’t bake their bagels daily. The microwaved bagels didn’t give them the satisfying chew and the crispiness they were craving.

FAQs
1. Why do some cafes advertise “New York style bagels” but they don’t taste authentic?

2. Are there any cafes in Portola Valley that make bagels on-site instead of shipping them from suppliers?
Yes, Konditorei Cafe is known for baking bagels in-house every morning using traditional methods instead of relying on pre-packaged or frozen dough. This is a key reason locals prefer it over larger coffee chains.
3. Do New York style bagels pair well with Voyager Craft Coffee?
Yes. Voyager Craft Coffee has a rich, balanced flavor and smooth crema that complements the buttery, chewy profile of New York style bagels. Many customers enjoy both together because the combination feels like a classic New York café experience, right in Portola Valley.
