B’s Bagels is the newest addition to the Westfield culinary scene. This family-owned business offers an authentic New York bagel experience with a Midwest flair. This unique fusion is a nod to the two owners and their differing backgrounds.
Brandon Florman, co-owner, and brainchild behind B’s Bagels, grew up on Long Island and says he is bringing a product to the market that is reminiscent of his childhood. Co-owner Dori Calderon, Florman’s mother-in-law and an Indianapolis native, boasts 30 years in catering and 14 years of private chef experience in the local market. Together, Florman and Calderon have created a menu reflective of both regions.

B’s Bagels Westfield – Brandon Florman and Dori Calderon
B’s Bagels celebrated its grand opening on October 5. Located in the heart of Spring Mill Station in Westfield, B’s Bagels offers an array of handcrafted and specialty sandwiches, salads, pastries, coffee, drinks and, of course, bagels.
Florman says B’s Bagels serves innovative and appetizing fare, largely due to his partner’s culinary prowess.
“Dori is so creative and incorporates that into her cooking,” says Florman. “She does what she does because she loves doing it. Her secret ingredient is love.”
“I have a longtime passion of providing a very healthy and satisfying meal to my followers,” Calderon adds. “I pride myself in creating a unique and well-balanced menu for my customers. I am always trying to bring my years of learning and healthy cooking to B’s Bagels.”
Every bagel is handcrafted using time-honored techniques. The B’s Bagels team promises that its bagels offer authentic flavor and artisanal craftsmanship. Fresh-baked bagels are served daily. Florman says they can be stored and enjoyed up to three or four days after purchase, or placed in a freezer for later use.
B’s Bagels delivers a wide variety of bagel choices including poppy, whole wheat and pumpernickel. The rainbow bagels are a crowd favorite and are only sold on Saturdays. Gluten-free bagels and zucchini bread are also on the menu. Bagels can be paired with an assortment of cream cheese schmears such as scallion, vegetable and pepita pesto cream cheese.
In addition, B’s Bagels offers an extensive catering menu designed to feed those attending major events, brunches, bridal showers or other special occasions.
While the owners place great care in creating quality products, they are also very intentional about nurturing an excellent customer environment.
“We greet everyone with a smile, and want our customers to feel welcomed and appreciated,” says Florman. “We promise to listen to customer feedback.”
Florman is an Indiana University graduate and met his wife at the university when they were both students. The couple set up roots in Westfield to be near his wife’s family, and they wanted to live in a thriving community with their two daughters. Florman says he is invested in his hometown and grateful to have a local business.
“It’s exciting what the city of Westfield is doing,” says Florman. “We are glad to be involved in the growth.”
