Meet The Bagel Chalet: Avon’s Cozy “Cheers” for Breakfast & Lunch

If you’ve lived in the Farmington Valley for any stretch of time, chances are The Bagel Chalet has been part of your morning rhythm—or your midday sandwich fix. Tucked at 195 West Main St, Avon, CT 06001, this family-owned staple has been serving the valley for 21 years with the kind of warmth that makes new customers feel like old friends.

A Place Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Regulars often compare The Bagel Chalet to Cheers, and it fits. Walk in a few times and you’ll be greeted like a neighbor. The owners, Jess and Greg, run the Chalet alongside friends and family—keeping the vibe friendly, quick, and consistent. Jess launched the business at just 24 years old, learned she was pregnant a month later, and—with the help of her village—built a community fixture that’s still going strong. Greg jumped in four years later, and together they’ve shaped the Chalet into the place locals love.

What’s on the Menu

Simple, fresh, and exactly what you’re craving:

• Breakfast sandwiches (the classics done right)

• Bagels with cream cheese (hello, morning happiness)

• Coffee (fuel for busy days and weekend strolls)

• Lunch sandwiches (quick, hearty, dependable)

Whether you’re dashing to work or corralling kids after practice, service is quick, the food is consistent, and the team treats you like family.

Why They’ve Lasted 21 Years

In an industry where doors open and close fast, The Bagel Chalet has kept it simple: quality food, quick service, and treating customers like friends. As Jess and Greg put it, if you’re not a friend when you walk in, you will be eventually.

“If you love what you do and work harder at it than anyone else, you will 100% be successful at it.”

That work ethic shows—even on the tired days (they admit those happen!). You may not notice, because they won’t show it. The community keeps them going—especially when parents bring their children in and share that they, too, came to the Chalet when they were kids. That full-circle moment is the good stuff.
