Boichik Bagels

What happens when an engineer obsessed with precision turns her lifelong love of bagels into a thriving business? Boichik Bagels is not just another bagel shop—it is a movement. On our latest episode, we sit down with Emily Winston, the founder of Boichik Bagels, to explore how she transformed her obsession into a nationally recognized brand. Emily shares how she went from mechanical engineering at GM to perfecting the craft of the New York-style bagel. She walks us through the science, process, and obsession behind creating the perfect bagel and how she scaled from a passion project to multiple locations and a booming frozen bagel business. She also discusses the historic significance of Boichik’s first location—formerly Noah’s Bagels—and how she got the founder’s blessing to continue the tradition. More than just a bagel shop, Boichik stands for social justice, inclusivity, and community impact, values that resonate deeply with customers and employees alike. This episode is packed with insights for entrepreneurs, food lovers, and anyone passionate about branding. Emily breaks down what it takes to turn passion into profit, scale with quality, and lead with authenticity. Listen now and tell us—what is your gold standard for bagels?
