I was going to post about these amazing tortillas you can get at the co-op, but while the code monkey research department was conducting our background and fact checking (to prevent further lawsuits and hatemail), Cookie, the intern, stumbled upon local blog sactomato.com. Well it looks like they've done a bang up job already (although I prefer the non-whole wheat variety), so the staff here will continue with our day of rest.
Speaking of bagels (sorta). I've seen numerous comlaints about the lack of decent bagels in Sacramento. Sacramento Bagel on H street isn't bad at all, as far as full-service bagel establishments go. They even serve decent coffee!
Personally though, going out to get a bagel makes just as much sense as going out of your way to get a grilled cheese sandwich somewhere, since they can easily be sliced, toasted and spread at home. My favorite bagels in Sacramento are by Bella Bru and you can get them at the co-op as well (located on the other side of the rack where the hecka good tortillas are kept).

Oh Leon...bad bad bad. Bagels are the most important food on this planet for a "Member of the Tribe". If I had to pick just one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be a bagel and cream cheese. They are much better fresh from a shop than at home. I tried bella bru and they are not my favorite. They are alright, but seem more like bread than bagels. Noahs have the same problem. I agree that Sacramento Bagel is decent, but still nothing amazing. I like my bagels chewy in the inside with a crunchy shell.
I always thought unleavened bread was the most important food. Don't ask me why, I just read it in some book, written by some Levite.
On another note...after my trip to Berlin, I realized Bavarian breads and Bagels are close relatives. I think bagels are an Eastern-Euro thang created by "the tribe"
Safeway bagels are actually pretty good although they are probably too bread-like to be authentic NY-style
These tortillas are taking Sac by storm! I love the abuelitas style ones. You can get them at the farmers market.
