| - Bagel lovers looking for a little something old and a little something new wrapped in an original one of a kind shop need to make Owen's a must-try.
The basic concept here is bagel sammies which have been steamed into submission. Is it a little messy? HELLZ YEAH. But is it tasty? Ridiculously so. When the same-ole' won't cut it for my rise and shine, Owen's can awaken my taste buds.
For you purists, if you just want your round dough with just a schemer of something tasty, or if you like your bagel plain or just toasted, they can do that too. You just have to ask at the time you order and you just have to know that your combo won't have a cool name posted on the hanging menus. So kids, once and for all, YES they have a toaster and YES they will toast any sandwich or plain bagel. Huzzah for customization!
Veggie friends, there are many options here. Vegan friends, there's love for you too: who knew sprouts, avocado, tomato and hummus could get steamed and turned into such a tasty treat?! Or how about banana, peanut butter, and local honey (assuming you're OK with honey)? Gooey fun says me.
I also have to give major props to the locally roasted coffee served here. Larry's Beans makes small batches and they make some pretty wicked flavors and blends. The Ethiopian blend was nice but the Southern Pecan was so good it really did need any sweetener. I walked out with a serious case of the jitters, but it was worth it.
Can't decide which to pick? In my couple trips here the servers called out the "Grubby Bubby" at a ration of about 5:1. Egg, Muenster, Smoked Cheddar, Avocado and Tomato on a Bialy. Try picking that up at your local chain bagel shop. Rock on Owen's crew.
