One of Providence’s most award-winning restaurateurs is relocating one of her hot spots to Cambridge.
According to a press release, Milena Pagán will be opening Rebelle Bagels in Kendall Square in Cambridge.
She is the MIT grad who flipped the Rhode Island food scene on its head.

The shop is currently on Doyle Avenue on the East Side of Providence, and it will move to Cambridge sometime this winter, though a specific date has not been given as of yet, according to Boston media.
In addition to Rebelle, Pagán–who was a James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef Northeast this year–is also co-owner of Little Sister, located on the corner of Hope Street and Rochambeau Avenue on the East Side of Providence.
She writes in her bio, “My career path took me to Providence, RI in 2013 to work a corporate job that taught me a lot but ultimately wasn’t a fit for me. I opened Rebelle Artisan Bagels in 2017 on the East Side of Providence with my modest savings and some help in the form of a Kickstarter campaign. With Little Sister’s opening in 2020, I’m now proud to be a two-time small business owner right in the neighborhood where I live.”
