Restaurant Review: Olde World Bagels

Bagels and New York City are kind of synonymous, but that is not to say that delicious bagels can't be found elsewhere. I tend to go for whole grain bagels, but in terms of seasoning "everything" is by far my favorite. Once in a while you'll find a place that has the enigmatic whole-wheat-everything variety, but that is hard to come by!After a walk through the farmer's market last Saturday morning (which was not in full force as usual due to crazy winds, so we didn't find any immediately edible options), we were famished and decided to head over to Olde World Bagel near downtown Prescott. I hadn't yet been there and Peter hadn't been in ages, though it's next door to a place we often go for lunch (and I've smelled the delicious freshly baked bagel smell wafting over).We both somewhat begrudgingly decided to forgo cream cheese this time, but the smoked salmon bagel sound too good to pass up entirely - so we had everything bagels with a little Earth Balance, lox, tomato, red onion, capers and cornichon on the side:YUM. It was the little things that made this so so good - very lightly toasted bagel, extremely fresh and tasty smoked salmon (not fishy at all!), the unexpected cornichon on the side (an easy way to a pickle-lover's heart) and the red onion was sliced verrry thinly - the only way to do it, I think. And look how well-seasoned the bagels were (and that was the underside, which is often neglected) - bonus points for that!Whatever bagel your heart desires, Olde World will probably have it - they have a great selection to pick from:Olde World Bagels also has an espresso bar and an impressive tea selection:We had a soy cappuccino and a "dirty" (aka added a shot of espresso) soy chai latte - both were great, especially the chai - one of the best in Prescott!What it comes down to is that I am REALLY glad to have such a great place nearby to more than satisfy a bagel craving when the mood strikes!!
