Whipped Ricotta & Honey on plain sourdough bagel

This is one of those “are we calling this a sandwich?” kind of posts. It’s open-faced, it’s sweet, and it’s technically a bagel… so yes, I’m breaking several rules here. But it’s close-to-going-home time and I figured I might as well double down on the carbs before flying off. Also, it’s my Instagram, so I bend the rules sometimes 😂

I was fully planning to just walk past and check the place out since it’s right near where I’d just had brunch. Then I saw whipped ricotta on the menu — with photos — and yeah, self-control left the chat.

The bagel itself was pretty different from what I’m used to. It’s wild-fermented, so it had that sourdough vibe with a bubbly crust. Light, with this interesting mix of crispy and chewy. Definitely not your standard dense bagel.

The whipped ricotta was generous, creamy, and lightly sweet, and the drizzle of honey was just enough. Not drowned, which I really appreciated. Total dessert vibes, which worked perfectly after the morning roll I’d just had.

Not sure yet if this style of bagel is my favourite, or if it’s just unfamiliar territory for me. Either way, I’m very keen to come back and try one of their lox next time. That feels like the right next step.
