SBE Company Spotlight: Ultimate Bagels

by Matthew Burgess on August 27, 2010

Since we started this blog, we’ve asked companies and entrepreneurs to complete our online form and tell us about their business. We’ve had quite a few submissions, and it’s time we start sharing some of these success stories with our community.

We’re going to make an effort to highlight at least one business each week. These businesses will all have at least one thing in common: entrepreneurs in the Santa Barbara area, working hard to serve their customers and their community.

Entrepreneur of the Week: Ultimate Bagels

Ultimate Bagels is Santa Barbara’s newest bagel shop, located at 1226 State Street in downtown. Ultimate Bagels opened its doors in November 2009 and quickly established itself as a must-try spot for bagel lovers and foodies alike. The shop has an extensive menu, offering bagels in non-traditional flavors like acai along with old favorites like Cinnamon-Raisin. Ultimate Bagels is a great place to enjoy a bagel and a cup of locally-roasted coffee with friends.

Alex Weinstein, Owner of Ultimate Bagels

We spoke with Ultimate Bagels, LLC founder Alex Weinstein to find out more about his business, why he loves Santa Barbara, and how Ultimate Bagels gives back to the community. [click to continue…]
