Casper Fermentables - Bagels, Kombucha, Sourdough

"Some of the city’s best bagels and sandwiches are made at this little casual Sunset Valley deli run by the farmers market stand of the same name. The menus draw from Korean and Jewish food traditions — given the background of co-owner Ben Hollande. During the early daytime, it serves sourdough bagels, with cream cheeses, smoked lox, tuna salads, and more. Then the later-in-the-day lunch offerings include amazing sandwiches made with its springy focaccia bread — the spicy turkey sandwich with Sichuan oil and the kimchi tuna melt are must-orders. Round out the meal with one of its fantastic rugelachs. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell

Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler

"I’ve already sung my praises for croissant sandwiches, so when I saw that this farmers market stand-turned-deli offered focaccia sandwiches, considered me intrigued. We ordered the spicy turkey sandwich and the kimchi tuna melt. The turkey one was actually really spicy in a good way; the kimchi in the tuna melt added a nice sourness. The bread itself was springy and worked well for sandwich purposes. We ended the meal with a delightful rugleach too. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas. —Nadia Chaudhury" - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
