Southside’s Baltik’s Bagel is celebrating its first birthday on Tuesday, Oct. 14. To commemorate this milestone, Baltik’s will host a Free Bagel Day.

Customers can choose between a River City Sunrise, Smokeshow, or classic bagel with cream cheese. The offer will be available in-store on Tuesday only, with a limit of one per customer while supplies last.

With Free Bagel Day, Baltik’s intends to celebrate by revisiting its business roots. “We were completely unknown before we opened in October 2024, so we gave away bagels and bagel sandwiches for free,” says Yero Rudzinskas, founder and owner of Baltik’s Bagel.

Baltik’s Bagel was named “Best New Restaurant” by Richmond Magazine earlier this year.

This past year has established Baltik’s as a staple in Richmond’s bagel scene, with consistent customer lines, a Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer accolade, and a coveted invitation to the 2025 New York BagelFest, scheduled for November.

“We’re completely humbled by the way the community has embraced our bagels, and this is our way of saying, ‘thank you,’” says the Baltik’s team.
