"There’s moderate-to-severe “we do things differently here” energy at Fantzye Bagels in Kingston. That commitment to quirk can be charming, as with a (surprisingly restrained) chocolate-cherry cream cheese, or the hit of preserved lemon in the salmon melt. It can also be unnecessary. For some of the hot sandwiches, the team at Fantzye presses their sourdough bagels on the plancha instead of using a traditional toaster. That move softens the already-light bagels, rather than crisping them up with a hard toast, and the egg sandwich creeps into monotextural territory. Have a breakfast meeting here or load up before a hike. You might not be running back every other weekend, but the bagels will suit all of your needs. photo credit: Hannah Albertine photo credit: Hannah Albertine photo credit: Hannah Albertine Pause Unmute" - Hannah Albertine
