Early Birds Are Getting Litchfield’s Hottest New Handmade Bagels

I'm an earlier riser than most, my day starts at 3AM, but I still can't make it in time to try the new handmade beauties from the new bagel shop in Litchfield.

I had no idea how bagel-starved beautiful Litchfield is, every day this week I've tried to stop at Nick's Handmade Bagels at 491 Bantam Road (RT. 202) in Litchfield. Nick's is located right in-between Litchfield Pizza and Shear Perfection in the space that was formerly the Dutch Epicure Shop. The Dutch Epicure Shop recently moved into a bigger building next door at 481 Bantam Road by the way. Anyway, I've tried to stop and try Nick's every day this week on my way home, but I've been unsuccessful. Today it was this.

Oh, I will Nick. I should have known that they were sold out today, because it was the first time that I've been able to find a parking spot near the building. The other three times that I've tried to stop by this week there has been absolutely no open parking spots, and there were at least 3-4 vehicles hovering at the entrance and exits hoping to catch someone on their way out.

Nick's does not have a website, but they are on Instagram, and the menu that they've posted looks extremely reasonably priced. One bagel will set you back $1.10, a dozen for $13, the majority of the breakfast sandwiches are $4, and the most expensive lunch sandwich is $6.75.

The bagels are reportedly fantastic based on the comments from the lucky ones that have scored some of Nick's creations. I'll see if I can get lucky again tomorrow.
