About Us


The founders and Father-and-son duo, Mitch and Adam.

30 years of family history

Welcome to Mitch’s Downtown Bagel Cafe, a culinary haven where a passion for food, family, and community converge. With locations across South Florida, our family-owned restaurants are more than just a dining destination – they embody warmth and tradition, taking you back to the vibrant hustle and bustle of New York City.

It all started in 1993 when Mitch moved to South Florida from New York, seeking a better life for his then four-year-old son, Jordan. Two years later, his second son, Adam, was born. He was desperately searching for a way to support his family while having the flexibility to spend a lot of time with his children. The answer was the bagel/deli business.

“I will never regret this decision, as it enabled me to pick my kids up from school, coach their teams, and play a huge role in their lives.” Fast forward to today, and Adam has joined forces with his father to create our new concept, which we are expanding throughout South Florida.

By fostering a team of talented people who share our passion, we have cultivated an environment that radiates creativity, hospitality, and dedication.

This comprehensive revitalization has not only secured our legacy but has also positioned our restaurant as a vibrant hub where tradition meets innovation. We serve our community with a fusion of flavors and experiences that resonate deeply within today's culinary landscape.

Our commitment to culinary evolution led us to curate a menu that balances our classic delights with trendy, palate-pleasing dishes, ensuring our place in contemporary food culture.

We aren't just a restaurant – we are a family. Every dish that graces your table is a labor of love.

Crafted from time-honored recipes that have been passed down through generations, our family's commitment to quality, hospitality, and authenticity is evident in every bite. We source the freshest ingredients to ensure each dish bursts with the true essence of New York City.

Whether it's the comforting embrace of our signature freshly baked bagels, our house-made tuna salad, or the delicate dance of flavors in our matzo ball soup; each plate is a chapter in our culinary journey. We believe that food and hospitality have the power to transcend cultures and bring people closer together. 

Beyond the plates and the recipes, our restaurants are a gathering place for friends, families, and neighbors. We take pride in being an integral part of every community we are a part of. We have made a commitment to ourselves, our employees, and our customers that we are going to treat every single person as if they are our own family.

We invite you to join us at any of our locations and come be a part of the family.
