Bagel Bar Cart: For Brunch Houseguests

Bagel Bar: An adorable way to serve breakfast for house guests or for a brunch or breakfast party. Super easy to set up too!

Recently for an extremely busy weekend here, I thought creating a bagel bar cart would be scrumptious, super easy, and pretty darn cute for a breakfast idea!

 

Bagel Bar Cart For Brunch Houseguests

When it comes to food bars, I like setting up a variety of flavors and different options guests can choose from.

With something like bagels, the variety can consist of savory and sweet options like:

• Homemade plain bagels
• Blueberry
• Cinnamon
• Garlic and Herb
• Asiago Cheese
• Chocolate Chip
• Garden Veggie
• Maple and Brown Sugar

…and the list goes on!

What Do You Need for a Bagel Bar?

• Different varieties of bagels, cream cheeses, flavored butters, jams/jellies, and toppings to customize the bagel offerings.
• Toaster oven or small toaster in case guests would like to toast
• Knife for slicing bagels and knives for condiments
• Veggies/Fruit to top bagels
• Small tongs, or serving utensils for fruit/veggies
• Small plates
• Napkins
• Coffee Cups/Beverage Cups
• Coffee add-ins, toppings
• Drink Stirrers

Coffee Bar

If you have more time, offering coffee alongside your bagel bar is a great choice, since the two go hand in hand.

Check out the coffee bar party that I styled, to get ideas for your own get-together!

How cute would a bagel cart be at an outdoor brunch, like when I styled this backyard ladies’ luncheon!

Bagel Bar Cart Ideas:

If you have a cart to use like this one from Target…

…you can load the top with the cutesy items, and then fill the bottom with a toaster, Keurig, and extra plates and napkins.

You can load the top with an assortment of flavored and plain bagels. Cinnamon raisin, asiago, bacon/egg/cheese, french toast, and blueberry were the flavor selections this go-round!

Providing a choice of different cream cheeses and flavored butter was also super fun to experiment with. Garden vegetable on an asiago bagel was divine, and honey/pecan on the french toast bagel was quite tasty.
