Welcome to Humble Wood Fire Bagel Shop

"We heard about this place on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives and decided to visit while in Gainesville. The food did not disappoint! I love lox and bagels but decided to give the carrot "lox" bagel a try. I got it with the rosemary salt bagel and 3 olive cream cheese. It was nothing short of amazing. First, it smelled like lox. Don't ask me how that is possible. The carrots did not taste like carrots but approximated the flavor of lox. It wasn't exact, of course, and the texture was slightly crunchy but much softer than I expected from a carrot. There was so much flavor everywhere that I only got maybe one bite where I could really taste the cream cheese, but it was quite good, and the olive flavor was just right. The bagel had great chew and was the perfect backdrop for the sandwich. This is not, however, first date food. I'm not sure I can remember the last time I got that messy eating a meal. The spices are in oil and they stick everywhere. I had them all over my lips and even on my cheek. I am usually a very neat eater. So just be prepared for that! Also, be prepared to pick up your food and eat somewhere else. The store is only walk-up with the inside for employees only. There are two picnic tables and three 2-person high-top tables outside, but you sit on the edge of a gravel parking lot in not the nicest area. I suggest taking your food with you to a nicer setting. If you like bagels, this is a great place to try some unique combinations!"
