King Street's got that nice stretch where proper independents cluster, and Sub Rosa slots in like it belongs here. You're walking in expecting a quick bite, but instead you clock the care that's gone into these bagels — they're not the sad supermarket kind you've suffered through. The thing about bagels is they need respect: proper boiling, proper proofing, proper toppings that don't feel like an afterthought. This lot get it. Whether you're grabbing something before heading down to the seafront or treating yourself to a leisurely brunch, there's a warmth to the place that makes you want to linger with your coffee.
