Less than three years after its opening, the 101 Bagel Cafe has closed in East Cobb.
There’s a sign on the door acknowledging the closing and green mesh around what had been a small patio in the front of the location at 4811 Lower Roswell Road, at the intersection of Johnson Ferry Road.
The news was first reported Tuesday by ToNeTo, which said there is only one 101 Bagel Cafe that remains open, in Milton/Crabapple.
The chain’s website still lists the East Cobb location, but a button for online ordering goes to the Milton/Crabapple location.
The closure in East Cobb follows other 101 Bagel Cafe closures in recent months, including on Akers Mill Road.
That was the original 101 Bagel Cafe opening in 2018. Rob Miller was the franchisee there and in East Cobb, and he also operated a location in Duluth that also has since closed.
The Dunwoody location also has closed, while the Milton location opened last year.
When Miller opened in East Cobb in April 2022, he said the New York-style concept—featuring Catskills water for boiling and then baking bagels—would find a niche in a competitive market.
He was going up against East Cobb mainstays Bagelicious and Goldbergs Bagel, not far away in the Johnson Ferry corridor.
101 Bagel Cafe’s closing follows the Flying Biscuit, which shuttered in September at Parkaire Landing, and as the Lower Roswell-Johnson Ferry area is preparing for major traffic improvements that have caused concerns for some business owners in the area.
