““We started working on the cragel as soon as we heard about the Cronut,” said Jenny Puente, a co-owner of House of Bagels in San Francisco.”

“> I didn't run⟳ across bagels in London, but I did find⟳ the Jewish ghetto / > (yes, that's what it's called) in Paris. OMG! If you think⟳ US bagels / > are bad, wait⟳ until you eat⟳ one of theirs. Those bagels are pastry; / > not even as close⟳ to a bagel as our steamed version is. :( / You're sure they weren't cragels? (croissant + bagel)”

“Chompie’s / Of course, there are the famous bagels, but this deli has a definite sweet side with in-house crafted napoleons, eclairs, rugelach, babkas and the customer favorite, cragel, a cross between a croissant and a bagel.”

“Well, we’ve had the cronut (croissant-donut hybrid), the cragel (croissant-bagel hybrid), the crookie (croissant-cookie), and now ... the kudossant, a croissant-waffle hybrid.”

“It offered an array of quirky concoctions, including the cragel, a cross between a croissant a bagel, which created some buzz in 2014, but mostly it sold simpler fare: traditional bagels with cream cheese, egg bagel sandwiches, coffee-the sort⟳ of thing locals picked up on their way to work⟳.”

“In 2014, more variations to desserts were introduced, including the “duffin” (a doughnut and muffin), “scruffin” (a scone and muffin), and “cragel” (half of a bagel combined with half of a croissant).”
