Omar's right. These bagels are amazing. I literally just finished a cinnamon-raisin and am fighting the strong desire to eat another. I'm already on my 2nd pack of day-olds (6/$2) and have been telling everyone about how delicious they are, even when not freshly baked. I'm so going to 13th for lunch one of these days in order to try a fresh, soft, delicious bagel sandwich. FYI here's their post announcing the bagels?!, which are from H&H.
As for gelato/sorbetto, we've been enjoying all the amazing Fragola flavors this season. I also finally got a chance to try Rosa, which left us talking about it all night! It was so fragrant and sweet and creamy. The tag said that Rosa was made from flowers from the oldest rose garden in the country, Wyck. Floral flavors are very underused here and i'm glad Capogiro takes the opposite route. Lavender Stracciatella is still my top flavor ever but i would LOVE to see a Violet flavor one of these days.

Bagels
by
Omar
In case you didn't know, Capogiro is now selling delicious bagels. I had an everything bagel with cream cheese and it was divine. Next time, I'll remember to take a pic before gobbling it all down.

Honey Cumin & Molasses
by
Omar
Although Clove was excellent today, I felt that it would be lost against the Molasses. So I had a pairing of Honey Cumin and Molasses. Delicious as always even in the middle of winter.
The Honey Cumin was particularly good as it's one of those flavors you don't expect. However, like all the spices Capogiro has made into gelato, it's about looking at the flavor from a different perspective. We're used to tasting cumin as a component in many other foods such as Chai Tea. The sugar lover can even make Chai into a desert beverage.
When used in moderation, cumin has a strong earthy nut flavor with a hint of bitterness. Capogiro balanced it well against the milk and honey. Because Molasses is also strong and slightly bitter, it pairs well with Cumin. Together, it's a fine Wintery dessert.
