Morning Magic: A Simple Resident Treat That Delivers Big Smiles
If you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to boost resident satisfaction, look no further than Bagelfest Day (July 26)—which just so happens to fall on the same day as Coffee Milkshake Day! Coincidence? Maybe. Opportunity? Absolutely.
Here’s how to turn this tasty combo into a quick and impactful resident engagement idea your community will love.
Set Up a Grab & Go Breakfast Bar
Start the morning off right with a quick breakfast station in your leasing office or community room.
Here’s what to include:
A variety of bagels: plain, everything, cinnamon raisin, blueberry—something for everyone
Toppings galore: cream cheese (plain + flavored), jam, butter, peanut or almond butter
Optional: pre-package each bagel + topping combo in individual bags or boxes for easy pickup and minimal cleanup
This takes very little time to set up and makes a big impression!
Don’t Forget the Coffee!
You’ve got options here depending on your budget and time:
Go big: Offer coffee milkshakes in small to-go cups. Bonus points if you have fun flavors like mocha or vanilla cold brew.
Keep it simple: A cold brew or iced coffee station with sweeteners, syrups, and creamers is always a crowd-pleaser.
Pro tip: Add a fun sign with a coffee pun like "Espresso yourself!" or "Life happens, bagels help." It makes your setup more Instagram-worthy and sparks smiles!
