Blacksburg Bagels — Restaurant in Blacksburg

Not for the shop, but they were setup at the farmers market so picked up a half dozen bagels and a loaf of spelt bread.

TLDR: bagels were awesome, the bread was a big disappointment.

All of the bagels were good, though the ginger and date was such a mild flavor it was overwhelmed by cream cheese. The parm+peppercorn was awesome, and the jalapeno cheddar had a great jalapeno flavor.

I have gotten to try several baked goods and they have all been insanely delicious! They have a wide variety to choose from. I always look forward to having their toasted bread with breakfast and you gotta try their big soft pretzels! I got a cinnamon croissant yesterday and it was buttery, flakey and flavorful. I also got their pizza dough and made it in a skillet on the stovetop and it was better than authentic Italian restaurant pizza if that's even possible!
