The Best Dishes Eater Boston’s Editor Ate This Month | Eater Boston

"After walking into a pop-up at the Buttery on a late Saturday morning, the reviewer bought two bagels (rosemary sea salt and everything) and a small tub of bacon scallion cream cheese. There’s not a lot of room for error in good bagel-making ("are the innards sufficiently soft and chewy? is the exterior just a touch crispy?"), and yes, these bagels hit those marks, but the toppings were where the shop really excelled. "I could smell the toasted rosemary sprigs on my rosemary sea salt bagel straight through the bag," and the "generous showering of sea salt provided pleasant little punches of saltiness in each bite." The asiago is "another must-order" (it was sold out during this visit), and the reviewer watched other customers happily rip into their cheesy bagels over coffee while plotting a next pre-order." - Erika Adams
