Wood-fired bagels, local coffee, pastries, and farmer's market goods
"Chef Terry Koval struck bagel gold when he opened B-Side bakery and cafe next door to his Michelin-recommended Decatur restaurant the Deer and the Dove. This is where to head for Montreal-style bagels. These bagels are first boiled in molasses and then wood-fired in an oven. Expect flavors like sea salt, benne seed, everything, and brown sugar and raisin here and a variety of toppings, including roasted garlic and chive schmear, smoked white fish, hummus, pimento cheese, and pastrami." - Beth McKibben
"Fawn will offer the same vibe as the early days at B-Side, adjacent to the Deer and the Dove, when the Sycamore Street bakery-cafe opened in the evenings for wine and bar snacks." - Beth McKibben
"Koval opened the Deer and the Dove and adjacent cafe B-Side in 2019 just off of Decatur Square." - Beth McKibben
"Owned by chef Terry Koval next door to the Deer and the Dove, B‑Side’s pounders on benne seed rolls steal the show; the B‑east of Burden is full of delightful supporting characters, but the tender, succulent beef tongue is a rare treat I always look forward to." - Austin L. Ray
"Chef Terry Koval opened the Deer and the Dove and B-Side bakery and cafe in the old Cakes and Ale space a year later." - Beth McKibben
