If you were lacking breakfast plans this week, schmear you go. Nashville-based Ugly Bagel opens inside The Arcade on Wednesday, Nov. 13 with a fully customizable menu of hand-rolled bagels, including vegan options and a monthly flavor drop.

Bonus: Through Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 5 to 7 p.m., customers can pick up two free bagels (while supplies last) during Ugly Hour.

Peer into the bagel-making process via the “rolling window” before placing an order at the self-checkout kiosk. If you want to have your order ready, here are a few things we’re looking at on the menu:

  • Gingerbread bagel accompanied by hot cocoa spread
  • Sea salt bagel paired with cookies and cream spread
  • The I’m Goin’ Back sandwich on an Asiago bagel

Stay tuned — the biz already has plans for a Wedgewood-Houston location with more on the horizon.
