About Jalapeño Grill & Fresh Bagel
About Jalapeño Grill & Fresh Bagel
Welcome to Jalapeño Grill & Fresh Bagel, where authentic New York-style bagels meet bold, flavorful cuisine in the heart of Exeter, Pennsylvania. Located at 1701 Wyoming Ave, we have been serving our community with passion, quality, and a commitment to freshness that sets us apart from the rest.
Our Story
Our journey began with a simple dream: to bring the authentic taste of New York's finest bagels to northeastern Pennsylvania while incorporating the vibrant flavors that make dining an adventure. As the owner of Jalapeño Grill & Fresh Bagel, I recognized that our community deserved more than just another restaurant – they deserved a place where tradition meets innovation, where every bite tells a story of quality and care.
The name "Jalapeño Grill & Fresh Bagel" perfectly captures our dual identity. We honor the time-tested tradition of hand-rolled, freshly baked New York-style bagels while embracing the bold, zesty flavors that give our grill menu its distinctive character. This unique combination has made us a beloved destination for food enthusiasts who appreciate both comfort and excitement in their dining experience.
Our Philosophy
At Jalapeño Grill & Fresh Bagel, we believe that great food starts with great ingredients. Every morning, our skilled bakers arrive before dawn to begin the meticulous process of creating our signature bagels. We use only the finest flour, the perfect balance of malt and salt, and traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations of New York bagel makers. Each bagel is hand-rolled, boiled to perfection, and baked until it achieves that perfect combination of crispy exterior and chewy interior that bagel lovers crave.
Our commitment to freshness extends far beyond our bagels. Every ingredient that goes into our grill items is carefully selected for quality and flavor. From the jalapeños that give us our name to the premium meats, fresh vegetables, and artisanal cheeses we use, we never compromise on quality. We believe that when you use the best ingredients and prepare them with care and expertise, the results speak for themselves.
What Makes Us Special
What truly sets Jalapeño Grill & Fresh Bagel apart is our unique ability to bridge two culinary worlds seamlessly. On one side, we offer an extensive selection of fresh bagels in traditional and innovative flavors, accompanied by classic and gourmet cream cheese spreads, lox, and all the traditional fixings that make a perfect bagel sandwich. On the other side, our grill menu features bold, flavorful dishes that incorporate the heat and zest of jalapeños and other carefully selected spices.
Our menu represents the best of both worlds:
- Fresh-baked bagels in classic varieties like everything, sesame, poppy seed, and plain
- Specialty bagels featuring unique flavor combinations
- Premium cream cheese spreads made in-house daily
- Traditional bagel sandwiches with lox, capers, and red onion
- Innovative bagel creations that incorporate our signature grill flavors
- Hearty breakfast and lunch options from our grill
- Jalapeño-inspired dishes that bring heat and flavor to every bite
- Fresh salads and lighter options for health-conscious diners
- Specialty drinks and coffee to complement any meal

Innovation Meets Tradition
While we deeply respect the traditional methods of bagel making and the classic flavor profiles that have made bagels a beloved staple, we are not afraid to innovate. Our jalapeño-inspired grill items represent our willingness to push boundaries while maintaining the quality and authenticity our customers expect.
This balance between tradition and innovation is reflected throughout our menu.
