Since last summer, I have instituted a routine that I find myself looking forward to all week. On Saturday mornings, I go on a long walk and then I stop by the bagel shop and get a bagel and a latte.
I specifically plan my route on Saturdays in order to stop by this bagel shop (it is Einstein Bros. Bagels in South Lake Union if anyone is wondering). For some reason, I had forgotten that it was there until I stumbled across it one morning during my walk. I decided to go back the next week and have been going there ever since.
The bagel shop has so many types of bagels and bagel sandwiches. I think I’ve tried all of their breakfast sandwiches but I keep coming back to the classic egg, bacon, and cheddar. I usually get my sandwich on a pretzel bagel; I just feel like that savoriness from the pretzel bagel gives the sandwich some extra flavor.
I usually will get a latte if the line is not too long. In the summer I get an iced latte but now that it is cooling down, I get it hot. I don’t know if it is the syrup they use or how they make their coffee, but their lattes are sooo good. If only the bagel shop was a little closer to my apartment, I would go there all the time.
There’s something about having my Saturday routine that I find very soothing. It’s something that I look forward to and sometimes I’ll find myself thinking about it on a Thursday or Friday – the knowledge that my Saturday morning is all planned out and I don’t have to decide what am I going to get to eat and drink. It makes me smile and brings some joy to my day, knowing that there is one thing I don’t have to think about.
I also know that every Saturday I’m going for some sort of walk. I definitely enjoy my Saturday routine – going for a walk and stopping for a bagel.
