Guess what’s on the rack today????

Posting and thinking about bagels yesterday got me hankering for my absolute favorite Sanctum Bagel! The Cajun Bagel! Warm flavors that give a little lip tingle without being spicy 🤤

This. On our new Bagel Club or Cuban? Are you kidding me!?

See you later for brunch? Lunch? Dinner? xoxo

Hand rolled. Baked fresh daily. Good chew on the outside without being a dense brick, or so huge you can’t eat it. Our bagels; it’s what we are known for!

Ask me what I’m proudest of with Sanctum and see me stumble over my words. There’s so much I’m proud of. On that list, and towards the top, has to be the bagels!

When the original chef quit before construction was even finished, I was left to figure out how to get Sanctum open and running with no background in commercial kitchens or baking. Not one to back down from a challenge, I literally and figuratively rolled up my sleeves, bought an online class, and learned how to make bagels!

I’m finding it’s one of the hardest jobs to let someone else take over. I feel deeply protective and very picky over the process. I hope you can tell when you taste one.

This dish. Y’all.
So let’s have an honest moment. I’m going to be real vulnerable for a sec. Did anyone else grow up going to Olive Garden and therefore believed that Shrimp Scampi was a pasta dish? Just me? Turns out Scampi (in the US) refers to the shrimp and the garlic-butter and wine sauce.

Anyways! May I present to you our Shrimp and Lobster Scampi! Argentinian shrimp. Lobster tail. Garlic-Butter and White Wine Sauce. Farm fresh veg from Lyon Farms. Bagels slices to sop up all the buttery goodness at the end. Perfection.

See you for dinner? Xoxo

That morning glow on a fresh, hand rolled bagel is just 👩‍🍳😘❤️

We’ve been tweaking and experimenting with our recipe recently. Working to find the perfect balance of softness and classic bagel chew. The Everything bagel is making significant improvements!

Come grab a bite or order online and see what you think!

Finding small joys and big laughs over here at Sanctum! Celebrating being open 6 MONTHS!

We had approximately 3 minutes to try and recreate a popular champagne spray reel before I had to be in a meeting (virtual so thankfully they couldn’t smell that I was covered in prosecco!) 2 attempts later, this is the best we got and honestly it feels fitting!

We’ve had plenty of folks bet against us. But we’ve had even more in our corner, rooting for us. The 1st half of this year has flown by and I can’t wait to see where we end up at the end of year one. We are just getting started!

See you later this week!  It’s going to be hot. You’ve got plenty of things to do.  Don’t forget your local coffee sling...

See you later this week! It’s going to be hot. You’ve got plenty of things to do. Don’t forget your local coffee slingers are still here to give you some caffeine to help you keep up with the events and some AC to beat the heat.
