East End, a family-owned company from Ipswich, Mass., is no stranger to college life; it serves Boston University, Emerson and Berklee Colleges. Owner John Goulos credits his success in part to the company’s ability to develop edgy new flavors alongside traditional ones.
Purists at Harvard can feast on the classics—plain, poppy, cinnamon raisin, et al—while the more adventurous can sink their teeth into a daring new addition: the “French Toast” bagel. Fringe favorites like veggie, multigrain, and chocolate chip remain, too, though under the aliases “chunky vegetable,” “honey grain,” and, well, “triple chocolate chip.”
Given proper demand, Harvard students may look forward to other unique East End offerings, including Spinach-Feta, Cranberry-Orange, or “Energy Bar”—a college campus favorite combining apples, raisins, honey, and seven different grains, Goulos says. That’s right: get to class awake—no coffee needed.
