Court Street Bagels is entirely locally owned, with no outside investment in its single Cobble Hill storefront. But the business changed hands in January 2024 after its founder of twenty years was pushed out in a landlord dispute, and NYC's own health department records show its most recent inspections, in December 2025 and January 2026, found repeated critical food-safety violations that remain unresolved as of July 2026. It's now owned and operated by Adam Alsoora, who also runs the competing Smith Street Bagels a few blocks away.
