The Boston Herald is reporting that Better Bagels is planning to open at One Seaport Square in the Seaport District this fall, with the article calling the upcoming place a "New York-style bagel shop." The post says that owners James Grimes and Sam Harden currently have their hand-rolled bagels made in a commissary kitchen in Malden and sell them via wholesale channels as well as pop-ups including at Coppa in the South End. The company first started out in early 2014 and have earned what the Herald calls "food-cult kudos" for their bagels over the past couple of years.

[August 30, 2017 update: Better Bagels has not yet opened at One Seaport Square, but it could be one step closer to opening by next week, as a licensing board hearing page indicates that its request for a common victualler license will be looked at on Wednesday, September 6.]
[October 30, 2017 update: Eater Boston mentions that Better Bagels opened yesterday (and quickly sold out of bagels), and that it will be fully open starting tomorrow with hours being 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM.]
