Tandem Bagel Co. Opens New Location at Ludlow Mills

Westmass is proud to announce the opening of Tandem Bagel Co. at 44 Riverside Drive – a key milestone in the continued transformation of the Ludlow Mills into a vibrant mixed-use destination.

Located in the historic Carpentry building overlooking the Chicopee River, Tandem Bagel brings new energy to this corner of the Mills campus, just steps from the public Riverwalk and growing residential community at Mills 8 & 10. The opening reflects the momentum building across the site as new businesses, housing, and public amenities come together to realize Westmass’ long-term vision of the Ludlow Mills.

Several years ago, Westmass undertook environmental cleanup and site preparation to ready the long-underutilized structure for productive reuse. This work builds on our commitment to restoring the historic mill property in ways that respect its character while supporting modern community needs.

“Tandem Bagel’s opening is exactly the kind of activation Westmass envisioned when we took on the redevelopment of the Ludlow Mills,” said Jeff Daley, President and CEO of Westmass Area Development Corporation. “It’s exciting to see a business that values community and great food becoming part of this historic campus. We’re proud of our role in helping to create a place where people want to live, work, and gather.”

For Tandem Bagel, the move to Ludlow represents a natural fit. The café’s locally sourced ingredients, welcoming vibe, and creative menu align with the values of the Ludlow Mills community and add a high-quality food option for both residents and visitors.

As the Ludlow Mills redevelopment continues, new amenities like Tandem Bagel Co. play a critical role in shaping the site’s identity and long-term success. We invite you to stop in, grab a coffee, and see the progress for yourself.

Welcome, Tandem Bagel Co. – we’re glad you’re here.
