Bev's Bagels Opens in Downtown Birmingham

Bev's Bagels, the sourdough bagel shop from Detroit chef Max Sussman, opens its second location in downtown Birmingham on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and it gives families a new breakfast and lunch stop within a short walk of Shain Park and Old Woodward. The shop operates out of 283 Hamilton Row, the former Marrow on the Go space near the Woodward and Maple corridor.

The menu centers on the shop's organic sourdough bagels, baked in-house and described as crispy outside and chewy inside, with bagel sandwiches and a lineup of house-made schmears. The Birmingham location adds a few exclusives of its own, including wild-caught fish options, plus breakfast sandwiches and a pizza bialy, and the shop is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, which covers school mornings, weekend errands, and midday lunches.

Chef-owner Max Sussman is a James Beard semifinalist and a Huntington Woods native, and he started Bev's as a home pop-up in 2023 before opening the original brick-and-mortar at 4884 Grand River Avenue in Detroit's Core City neighborhood. The Birmingham shop is the brand's second location, and the company has shared plans for a third in Ann Arbor.

For families weighing where to live in Oakland County, a downtown that keeps adding everyday dining is a practical signal about the community, and a bagel shop within walking distance of the parks and shops makes a morning outing easy without getting everyone in the car. Opening details and daily hours come from the restaurant's official site and from reporting by Crain's Detroit Business, WXYZ Detroit, the Detroit Free Press, and Patch Birmingham, and those are the places to check for any updates before the doors open.
