Cragel (croissant + bagel)

“Cragel” (croissant + bagel) is a portmanteau food word that was introduced by Scot Rossillo of The Bagel Store (754 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn) in September 2013. A croissant or “crescent” is part of a circle, but the “cragel” goes all the way around, like a bagel. Rossillo trademarked “cragel” with a date of first use of December 23, 2010.
 
“I asked @odam and he ruled a mix of a bagel/croissant. A baissant?  Cragel?” was posted on Twitter on February 20, 2012. “Half bagel, half croissant. Cragel?” was posted on Twitter on April 18, 2013.

First the cronut, now the crogel and cragel

Then there’s the cragel, different from the crogel in that croissant dough and bagel dough are intertwined. Sold at The Bagel Store’s two locations in Brooklyn, the cragel was a concept owner Scot Rossillo came up with years ago. But he didn’t feel the time was right for the cragel until now.
 
“The cronut came out last year and it helped to push the whole hybrid thing,” Rossillo told USA TODAY Network.

The Cragel: Bagel, croissant hybrid equals ‘100% happiness’

The competition for bizarre food hybrids has been fierce since Dominique Ansel brought the world the Cronut, but there’s a new kid in town: the Cragel.
 
The Bagel Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn unveiled the hybrid treat last fall — which is 50 percent bagel and 50 percent croissant — but it just started to gain attention this week, after bloggers on Gothamist and elsewhere discovered its existence.
     
15 January 2014, Daily News (New York, NY), “You call this Cragel?” by Jeanette Settembre, pg. 35:
Don’t call it a Cragel. The croissant-bagel, the latest carb crossbreed, has hit the Bagel Store in Williamsburg, but it tastes more like a Danish than the flaky trademark of France.
 
The Bagel Store started selling its version of the croissant-bagel shortly after the Stew Leonard’s suburban supermarket chain introduced its boiled and baked “Crogel” last week. So the Daily News sent its best man to Williamsburg (actually, an intern named Jason) to bring a dozen of the $2.95 Cragels back to the test kitchen. Tasters soon decided the sticky baked good was misnamed. “It tastes like a Danish - so I’d call it a ‘Dagel,” said one scribe. “It’s certainly not a bagel or a croissant,” added another.
 
16 January 2014, CBS This Morning (television):
CONAN O’BRIEN (Conan, TBS): After the popularity of the cronut, a New York bakery has introduced a croissant-bagel called the cragel. Also expected to be popular this year—something new called type 2 cryabetes.

Enter: the Cragel, House of Bagels’ Croissant-Bagel Hybrid

Doubtless some people, when informed that there is now such a thing as a “cragel,” will think, “OMG, no. Just no,” while others will jump with joy at the prospect of maybe, possibly getting to wait in the rain for three hours for something. And they’re both wrong. The cragel is imminent, it is delicious and it’s not a day-old gimmick flown across the country. It’s in the Richmond, at House of Bagels.
 
They’ve been working on a gluten-free objet d’manger for eight years, and an organic bagel for five, but they’re all set to release unto the world a combination croissant and bagel as soon as this Monday, for $2.95

The most controversial bagel in Brooklyn

Before the Bagel Store, where Rossillo works, was drowning in demand for its photogenic creation, it was living the life of a neighborhood bagel joint. It offered an array of quirky concoctions, including the cragel, a cross between a croissant and 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.

Meet The Cragel — New York’s Latest Food Hybrid
So, while we were all busy fussing over and standing in line for the cronut, a new hybrid popped up in our fair city, and it almost went unnoticed. It seems Brooklyn’s Bagel Storecame to play with its own carb-heavy creation last fall, which is part bagel and part croissant. Meet the cragel.
 
And, with that, breakfast just got even more glorious. The Bagel Store’s latest offering can only be described as a flakey, buttery treat, and we can’t wait to get our paws on one. The Williamsburg hot spot sells the hybrid for $2.95 — a full two bucks cheaper than the Dominique Ansel cronut. Best of all, it seems there’s no significant line for these, so you don’t have to wake before dawn to enjoy one.
