I am so excited to be making my blog post about my Local Food Tour!
I want to support and visit local restaurants, bars, cafes and bakeries around the Buffalo area. During my tour, I will be sharing all the amazing things these establishments have to offer! This is my way of supporting businesses in my hometown while I get to enjoy delicious food and drinks along the way! I am going in alphabetical order with this food tour and I am already having so much fun with this!
For each stop, I will be sharing with you food/drinks, the service and the atmosphere! So let me share with you my visits so far:
A: Alchemy Wine & Beer
B: The Bagel Jar
A: Alchemy Wine & Beer
Alchemy Wine & Beer invited The Bagel Jar to have a popup where I was able to enjoy all different kinds of Bellinis with a flight of bagels! More about Alchemy:
Food/Drinks:
Strawberry and Peach Bellini - the most refreshing Bellinis I could have had all day long! I knew by just looking at the bellinis that they used fresh strawberries to make it which made the drink so much more delicious and refreshing!
Service:
Everyone was so kind and patient with me while I made the hard decision - aka placing my crazy order!
Atmosphere:
Before you even walk in, you notice a beautifully painted mural. When I walked in I fell in love! I love the modern industrial vibe Alchemy has - they made it so cozy and homey feeling. With Covid restrictions, they have signs up that explain how to go about getting a table and ordering, which limited contact with their employees ensuring everyones safety!
Absolutely loved visiting Alchemy! Everyone there made it so enjoyable and fun; I can't wait to go back and enjoy some drinks again!
B: Bagel Jar
Have you ever heard of a flight for bagels??? This was my first time and let me tell you, I don't think I have ever been more excited to order a flight!
Food:
I enjoy too many kinds of bagels to have to choose just one - this bagel flight covered all my bagel cravings! My bagel flight included:
🥯 Cinnamon Raisin
🥯 Cinnamon Sugar
🥯 Rosemary Sea Salt
🥯 Plain
With a side of spread that included:
1️⃣ Cinnamon Walnut Cream Cheese
2️⃣ Plain Cream Cheese
3️⃣ Raspberry Jam
These bagels were so delicious topped with the Bagel Jar's homemade spreads 🤤 I went home with a handful of bagels for my family to have because they were so good! My favorite combination was the cinnamon sugar bagel with either cream cheese (1️⃣ & 2️⃣) topped with the raspberry jam! I bought some jam to go home with and there is not a day that goes by that I am not craving this homemade raspberry jam!!
Service:
The bagels were still warm and crispy - even after having to toast 4 different bagel halves! Everything tasted truly delicious! The Bagel Jar employees at Alchemy were so friendly and helpful when I was needy and asking for bagels and spreads to take home!
Atmosphere:
Just based off of this pop-up at Alchemy - I never thought that some champagne and bagels would go so well together; so now that will have to be a weekend staple brunch!
Be sure to follow The Bagel Jar on social media to follow their pop-up events or even stop at Public Espresso to enjoy their bagels any day! I know when I run out of jam and bagels, I will be making a stop to order more!
