About R & A Sourdough
Founded in 2020
R&A Sourdough was born in the early days of the pandemic. A friend gifted us a sourdough starter and we were amazed when the first sourdough bread we baked was a success. With downtime came curiosity about making our own starter, and from that moment on, we were baking anything and everything with sourdough…quickly realizing that the bagels we made were pretty special. In fall 2021, we opened our first brick and mortar location in Lincoln Square and have expanded our offerings from bagels and sourdough loaves to challah, house-cured lox, corned beef, and pastrami, plus an ever-changing slate of desserts and sandwiches. We cater parties of any size, from a small office gathering to the biggest of wedding bunches, britot, and more. Explore our catering menu on Tock and we’re happy to discuss customizations and adjustments of any kind!

FAQs 6
- What makes your services unique?
- We specialize in all things sourdough – although we’re best known for our bagels, we make sourdough and pullman loaves, challah, desserts, and more. We also make our cream cheese and cure our lox, pastrami and corned beef in-house.
- Are you able to customize orders?
- Absolutely! We’re excited to help fulfill your vision. Although you’re free to order a la carte from our selection of products, we can also pull together curated packages based on the type of event, size or related holiday. Reach out to us directly to discuss your customizations.
- Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
- Often, yes. Our bagels are vegan and made with a natural yeast starter, different from traditional added yeast for other types of bread. We have one vegan schmear we can provide with advanced notice (not made in house). For gluten-free parties, we have our selection of meats and veggie-based soups.
- How far in advance should I book your services?
- The earlier the better, but we can sometimes accommodate quick-turn orders for those in a pinch. Please give us a call to discuss if this sounds like you!
- Are your products kosher?
- We are not a kosher-certified kitchen, but some of our products may meet your specific kosher needs. Please reach out to us to discuss!
