Common Questions

Spreads & Schmears FAQ

Everything you need to know about our house-made spreads.

Are your spreads made fresh daily? +

Yes! Every single spread is made fresh in our kitchen every morning, in small batches. We never use pre-packaged spreads — everything is prepared by hand using fresh, premium ingredients.

Can I buy spreads by the tub to take home? +

Absolutely! We offer 8oz and 16oz take-home tubs of all our spreads. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or enjoying at home with your favorite crackers, veggies, or bagels. Ask our staff for availability.

Are your spreads suitable for vegetarians? +

Most of our spreads are vegetarian-friendly. All cream cheese-based spreads are vegetarian except for our Lox Spread, which contains smoked salmon. Please check individual spread details or ask our staff for specific allergen information.

Can I add extra schmear to my bagel? +

Of course! We're known for our generous schmear. You can request "extra schmear" on any bagel or sandwich for a small additional charge. We believe more schmear = more happiness.

Do you offer dairy-free or vegan spread options? +

Currently, all our spreads are dairy-based. We're actively developing a vegan cream cheese alternative and hope to introduce it soon. In the meantime, you can enjoy any of our bagels without schmear, or pair them with our avocado options.

How long do take-home tubs stay fresh? +

Our take-home tubs stay fresh for 7-10 days when refrigerated at or below 40°F (4°C). Always use a clean utensil to maintain freshness. Check the "best by" date on the tub for exact guidance.

Can I order spreads for catering or events? +

Definitely! We offer catering-sized portions of all our spreads, perfect for bagel platters, brunches, and events. We also offer custom schmear boards with a variety of spreads and accompaniments. Please place orders at least 48 hours in advance through our Catering & Events page.
