Waiting on the corner of Broadway and Main Street for the bus to come, I sometime crave a little bagel, and luckily for me, the Rosemary Rocksalt is situated right behind the bus stop!
Being from Montréal, their Montreal-Style bagels are exactly what I like, so when I notice I have 5-10 minutes to wait for the bus, I pop in there and get a bagel with plain or flavored cream cheese to satisfy my cravings, or an entire bag of bagels to share with the roommates! The place is named after their famous rosemary and rocksalt bagel, and believe me, it is worth trying! I love this combination and so do a lot of people apparently!
The atmosphere is also great to sit down and relax for a little bit with a book, or getting a soup with your bagel and sitting down to eat. The ingredients are fresh and comforting, a great and popular combo around here overall!
Little secret... They offer a free coffee before 10:00 when you buy a bagel!
