Some words stay with you.
James served seven years in the U.S. Army in artillery. Today, his message is one of hope: no matter what you’re going through, don’t give up. Things can get better.
Thank you, James, for your service and for sharing words that may encourage someone who needs to hear them.

We were honored to be featured on Beyond the Frontline, a podcast by The Transitioning Warrior, to share the story behind Cyclone Bagels.
Cyclone Bagels is more than a bagel shop. As a nonprofit-owned business created by Concern Housing, we’re part of a larger mission to support Veterans through employment, community, and opportunity.
In this conversation, Donna Hoffmeyer speaks with Joaselyn Cruz and Jim Mutton about how Cyclone Bagels is helping create a sense of belonging in Coney Island — one bagel, one shift, and one connection at a time. Coming Home Well

This week, we’re proud to recognize Brian through our Cyclone Bagels Service Spotlight.
Brian served in the U.S. Army from 1985–1987 in imagery interpretation, a specialized role connected to SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance.
Today, Brian is part of the Surf Vets Place community, and this May he was honored at the United Veterans Beacon House Annual Gala — making this Spotlight a meaningful opportunity to recognize his service and share a small part of his story.

What people say
Cyclone Bagels on Surf Avenue in Brooklyn is a standout coffee shop with a warm, community-centered feel. It’s staffed by veterans and owned and operated by non-profit Concern Housing, which gives the place a purpose that goes beyond great bagels and coffee.
The shop also shines through its people-focused service. Recent posts highlight co-owner and head trainer Bill, whose background as a U.S. Army Airborne paratrooper helped shape his path—now reflected in the care and leadership he brings to the team. Diane is another featured member of the Cyclone Bagels community; with experience in social services as a counselor, she’s described as actively engaged through events, dinners, and even Brooklyn Cyclones games.
What really sets Cyclone Bagels apart is how it shows up for others. The brand has shared moments like delivering “Cyclone Bagels Surprise” treats to veterans at New York Fitness And Boxing and bringing a surprise to Diane—small gestures that make the experience feel personal and meaningful.
Overall, Cyclone Bagels comes across as a solid choice: welcoming, thoughtfully run, and powered by people who bring both skill and heart to every visit.
