NAPA NEEDS A GOOD BAGEL.
Noticing a distinct lack of authentic bagels in the Napa Valley, Toasted was created at the end of 2016 by Ariella Wolkowicz. Hoping to fill the bagel void in Napa, we offer a variety of gourmet bagels and cream cheeses. At Toasted, we focus on making high-quality bagels that people really enjoy. We believe that every bite of our delicious bagels can make you happy. Come join us and experience the joy of a well-made bagel.
ARTISANAL PRACTICES
Guided by traditional methods that have stood the test of time, our bagels are meticulously hand-rolled, ushered through an 18 to 24-hour cold-proofing fermentation, boiled and then baked, resulting in a delightfully blistered, slightly crunchy exterior with a creamy interior and chewy texture. Toasted is providing a premium product in a premium location for both tourists and locals.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Ariella Wolkowicz founded Toasted in 2017, launching at the Napa Farmer’s Market. Since then, she has expanded her business to three other farmer’s markets, local grocers, bakeries, hotels, resorts, school districts, and home deliveries.
Growing up only an hour and a half from Montreal, Ariella was accustomed to having bagels as a staple of every family gathering. Her passion for baked goods led her to study Baking and Pastry Arts at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI. Once she completed her degree and formal training, she set out to pursue a career as a pastry chef in Napa, CA, at Bouchon Bakery. It soon became clear that the type of bagels she loved were not on the menu anywhere. As she honed her skills in her field, she began to seek a niche for herself.
After some soul-searching, and the desire to offer her new community, as well as herself, access to traditional bagels, she stepped away from her career as a pastry chef and embarked on her new-found passion: to produce artisanal hand-rolled and boiled bagels for the Napa Valley.
