The location of La Bagel Delight @labageldelight at 122 7th Avenue between Carroll and President Streets is currently fighting eviction and may have to close or move to make way for a new sandwich shop, according to a report from newsletter @parkslopetimes.

In July the building that's been home to the popular bagel shop since 2003 was purchased by Oren Lund for $4,475,000, the most ever paid for a mixed-use building in the neighborhood. Lund plans on opening his own sandwich shop, to be called Oren's, in the space, and didn't renew La Bagel Delight's lease when it expired on Oct. 31.

The bagel shop's owners, Mohamed Najar and his son Husain, stopped paying rent when the lease expired and are planning on challenging the eviction in court; the hearing is scheduled for Jan. 6. When I called the shop and asked if they're going to be closing, the answer was a firm "no."

Such nice folks and solid members of the community.

Fingers crossed that they stay ❤️

I’ve been going to La bagel delight since I was 6 years old. The workers always put a sweet treat in my lunch box. This place has always been a piece of park slope!!!! Keep them alive!

Imagine that, a self-absorbed landlord

Best bagels in the neighborhood and the kindest people. This is so unnecessary. Open your passion project in an empty storefront, don’t displace a long-standing & vital part of the community.

It's normal/typical for commercial leases to end.

Oren is my friend and my neighbor. I’ve seen some criticism about him opening a new business in a building he owns. Change is hard, but I also want people to know who he really is. He’s the kind of guy who brings you homemade soup when you’re sick or makes food for a bunch of neighborhood kids playing outside. He worked hard to buy this building and is now chasing a long-time dream of opening a local sandwich shop.

Noooooo need them to stay

Rock solid local business! If there’s any way for the community to step up for La Bagel let us know!

One of the best real bagel store in Brooklyn, not Bodega bagels

The real ones know the la bagel on 5th street was 🔥
