About BagelGram NC
Scratch-Made Bagels in Indian Trail, NC
BagelGram NC is a locally owned, family-run bagel shop located at 7878 Idlewild Rd. in Indian Trail, NC.
Every BagelGram bagel is made from scratch in our shop. We mix our dough in-house, roll our bagels, slowly ferment them, kettle-boil them and bake them fresh. We don’t use frozen bagels or pre-made dough.
From Bagel Delivery to a Neighborhood Bagel Shop
BagelGram began in 2020 during the COVID pandemic as a small Charlotte-area bagel delivery business. What started with just a handful of weekly deliveries quickly grew into customers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding communities waiting for their next BagelGram.
Our goal from the beginning was bigger than delivery: we wanted to build the kind of neighborhood bagel shop we remembered growing up with.
In 2023, that dream became a reality when we opened our storefront in Indian Trail.
Today, customers can walk into BagelGram NC for fresh bagels, breakfast sandwiches, homemade cream cheese flavors and rotating specialty bagels — while our original BagelGram delivery service continues on select scheduled delivery dates throughout the Charlotte area.
We’re proud of where we started, but even more excited about what BagelGram has become.
Real people. Real scratch-made bagels. Made right here in Indian Trail.
Our Storefront is located at 7878 Idlewild Rd. Indian Trail.
Our Bagels
Our bagels are made from scratch right here in our Indian Trail shop.
We started with the classic New York-style water bagels we remembered growing up with and spent years developing a BagelGram version of our own — a bagel with a flavorful, slightly crisp exterior and a soft, chewy center.
Every batch starts with dough mixed in-house using quality ingredients. Our bagels are rolled, slowly fermented, kettle-boiled and baked fresh in our shop.
We don’t bring in frozen bagels, use pre-made dough or simply thaw and bake someone else’s product. From the flour to the finished bagel, the process happens right here at BagelGram.
Along with the classics, we love experimenting. You’ll regularly find rotating specialty bagels and cream cheese flavors alongside favorites like Plain, Everything, Sesame and Asiago.
That’s part of the fun of BagelGram — there may always be something new waiting for you.
Meet the Family Behind BagelGram
Meet the Family Behind BagelGram
BagelGram NC is owned and operated by the Priest family — Kevin, Christina and Olivia.
Kevin grew up in Boca Raton, Florida and began studying Culinary Arts as a teenager. By 16, he was already working full-time on a restaurant line while attending culinary school and finishing high school.
After college, Kevin and his mother operated a catering business in South Florida until the Great Recession forced them to close in 2008. The business may have closed, but the desire to own another food business never went away.
In 2019, Kevin, Christina and Olivia moved from South Florida to the Charlotte area with the goal of building a new life and eventually opening another business.
Then 2020 happened.
When the pandemic disrupted their original plans, an idea that had been sitting in the background suddenly became an opportunity: make great bagels and deliver them directly to people’s homes.
BagelGram NC was born.
What started with a few neighborhood deliveries grew throughout the Charlotte area, eventually leading to the opening of our Indian Trail storefront in 2023.
Today, we’re still a small family business. You’ll often find us behind the counter, in the kitchen, working on a new flavor or figuring out what BagelGram should do next.
We’re incredibly grateful to the customers and community who helped turn a small COVID-era delivery idea into the neighborhood bagel shop we dreamed about opening.
Proud to Be Part of Our Community
BagelGram NC may have started as a delivery business serving neighborhoods across the Charlotte area, but Indian Trail is where we put down roots.
Since opening our storefront, we’ve had the chance to get to know so many of the families, teachers, small-business owners and neighbors who make this community special. Many of the customers who supported us during our early delivery days are still walking through our doors today.
As a small family-owned business, we believe being part of a community means more than simply operating a storefront. It means supporting local events and organizations when we can, helping our neighbors, giving back and doing our part to make the area we call home a little better.
We’re proud to be an independent local business, proud to make our bagels right here in Indian Trail, and incredibly thankful for everyone who continues to support BagelGram.
Every order, recommendation, review and visit helps a local family business keep growing — and we never take that for granted.
