Getting your hands on award winning bagels is getting easier for Hudson Valley foodies!

Moonrise Bagels Brings Award Winning Bagels to the Hudson Valley

Ali Chetkof Rhodes and Jeremy Rhodes began stuffing their homemade bagels for friends in 2020. The idea snowballed and next thing you know, they have a flagship location in Woodstock, New York.

From their, the popularity of Moonrise Bagels skyrocketed. They were even given the spotlight on The Today Show!

In early 2024, Ali and Jeremy announced that Moonrise Bagels would be opening up their 2nd location. This time in Dutchess County.

Then, in July of 2024 Moonrise Bagels opened up at the new hotspot, Heritage Plaza in Poughkeepsie, New York across from Marist College. And now, they're popping up at a new Ulster County location.

It looks like we were on to something earlier this month. An Instagram story from Moonrise Bagels piqued our interest. The photo showed a cute, tiny, shop being painted the iconic Moonrise Bagels blue.

Well, it looks as though it's a Moonrise Bagels pop up shop!

On Facebook Moonrise Bagels writes "The rumors are true — Moonrise Bagels is popping up in KINGSTON!" Opening day was October 26th, 2024 and according to the post they'll be open "every weekend for the rest of the year."

Saturday's and Sunday's they'll be serving their award winning stuffed bagels out of the takeout window on Broadway, next door to Nightswim Kingston.

We spoke with owner Ali Chetkof Rhodes and she tells us that at the Kingston pop up location they'll be selling "just the stuffed" bagels. Meaning only stuffed bagels and drinks are being sold at this location. They have a small selection of their best sellers like acon, Egg & Cheese; Egg & Cheese; and our 100% Vegan: Sausage, Egg & Cheese.

Every weekend they will rotate a 4th flavor in.

You can grab your stuffed bagel to go from 8 am until 2 pm every weekend.
