HONOLULU (HI Now) - Tali’s Bagels & Schmear bagel shop has opened a new location in Kailua. The new shop is located on 26 Ho’olai Street and features more space, including seating for its patrons.
Tali’s Bagels & Schmear are a local and a New Yorker making New York-style bagels and traditional and locally-inspired schmears in the heart of Honolulu. After years of stuffing bagels in the carry-on when returning from Talia’s home in New York, they decided to try their hand at making their own.
In November 2021 they began selling bagel flights on Instagram, and by January 2022 they had worked their way to a commercial kitchen space and into the local farmers market scene.
In July of 2023, they opened their very first storefront location in Ward Village where they serve classics like BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese), tuna and egg salad sandwiches, and exclusive center-cut sliced lox (you can’t get it anywhere else on island!) flown in from Acme Seafood in Brooklyn, NY. They also offer unique sandwiches such as the Aww Zhuga Zhuga (pulled chicken breast slathered in a Yemenite spicy cilantro sauce) and the Televegan - masabacha (chunky hummus) with roasted eggplant and arugula.
