Balsam Bagels. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) in Rochester (New York).
Description
If you’re wandering around Rochester and you catch a whiff of something delicious, chances are it’s coming from Balsam Bagels on Winton Rd. I mean, this place is a local gem! With a score of 4.7 out of 5 from nearly 1,000 reviews, it’s clear people are obsessed. And let me tell you, I get it.
From savory to sweet, their bagel variety is like walking into an all-you-can-eat flavor wonderland. A French Toast bagel you say? Yes, please! I tried it once, and wow, the maple pecan cream cheese is like a hug on a plate. Who knew a morning bagel could make you feel so cozy?
And oh boy, the cream cheese options! It’s like an ice cream shop but for bagels. I mean, just think about all those combos! Every visit feels like a challenge to create the next winning flavor duo. I once went for a rosemary olive bagel with roasted red pepper basil cream cheese—game changer!
You’d better get there early, especially on weekends. There’s always a line, but hey, if people are waiting in the cold, you know what’s at the end of that line is worth it. Trust me.
Now, the vibe is something else too, like a bustling bakery meets your favorite coffeehouse. The staff, bless their hearts, hustle like pros. They’re friendly and engaging, just makes the experience even better.
But fair warning, it can get a bit chaotic inside during peak times. Getting an order right is no easy feat when the place is packed. But the taste? Totally worth any minor hiccups. You may end up trying the bagel dog—just saying!
So, next time I’m in the mood for a bagel, Balsam is where I’m heading. They take bagels to a whole new level, way beyond what you’d expect. Get your crew together, hit this joint, and let your taste buds have a party!
