Bantam Bagels had a small shop in Greenwich Village, selling two-bite balls of bagel in different flavors, filled with a variety of cream cheese flavors.

The novelty spread the word, and the plucky Bantams are now sold at 16,000 grocers nationwide.

Along the way, the line expanded with Bantam Pancakes and Bantam Egg Bites. (The little bagel that could was recently sold for $34 million.)

We love them all. They’re easy ways to have a tasty bite of breakfast, whether on the run (first, 20 seconds in the microwave) or settled in with the newspaper for a leisurely brunch.

Bantams are a treat for the family as well as for guests. One of our favorite brunches is a mix of all three products.

The only challenge is narrowing down the flavor choices. Take a look:

The most recent variety, filled with scrambled eggs, has launched in five flavors:

 
BANTAM PANCAKES

These are our secret indulgence, anytime we want a piece of cake. Instead, a bite of Blueberry or Chocolate Chip Bantam Pancakes does the trick.
