Happy Monday fellow nomsters!

Today is the day where I talk about a place very close to my heart. I love this place oh-so-very-much. It has aided me in times of need, in times where hangovers are heavy and it brings joy to my life.
A little bit dramatic you say? All over bagels? This girl must be crazy.
I beg you, if you have not ventured down Koornang Rd in Carnegie, DO. 
Huff Bagelry is one amazing place that I love bringing my friends to. It is just a sin to not share something so good and amazing to your loved ones. 

The atmosphere is warm and the decor is full of neutral colours. The prep area is open so you can see where your bagel is being assembled. The coffee can take a bit of time to arrive but it is always so good. The people there (eating and working) are ALWAYS smiling, it's as if they have some kind of happy spray blowing around the shop.

I frequent Huff quite regularly and Brad and I have been going there for about two years now. In the last two years, I have to say that I have been rather unadventurous with my choices of bagels. I had two good ones that I really liked and I have not looked back since.

So, the lowdown for those who do not know of Huff.
When you walk in, you first have to spot yourself a seat. If you have to wait for a table, take this time to ponder over the menu. What will you have today? What bagel do you want that on? Did you want a dessert as well? 
Once a table is free, go and snag it! There is much to lose when you play this game of table snatching. You could go hungry for another 15 minutes and who wants to do that.

My personal favourites are these two wonderful masterpieces below.

Chicken shnitzel, cheese, tomato relish, mayo and roquet salad
on an onion and poppyseed bagel slightly toasted

 Tuna, roquet salad, gouda and chopped egg on 
garlic, salt and rosemary bagel slightly toasted 

I hear the other bagels are pretty tasty too!
To our left, we have the roasted vegetable salad and to the right, we have the classic smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel.

                           
                                    Roasted veggies scare me
Salmon is not so scary

Huff Bagelry
112 Koornang Rd, Carnegie, 3163

Taste: 8/10 (everything is fresh and delicious)
Price: 9/10 (Under $10 for a bagel and a little bit more for coffee)
Location/Ambience: 6/10 (The location is good but a bit noisy if you sit outside and you have to know when to come so you can get a seat)
Final Verdict: 8/10 ( I Freaking Love this place!)


I hope that this inspires you to take a walk down your local shopping strip and discover what amazing foods that it has to offer. I for one am really thankful that one fateful day about two years ago, I was super hungry and hungover and decided to go for a walk down my local shopping strip and discovered Huff.

Peace, love and nomnoms,
Jo
