About Fantzye Bagels
Fantzye Bagels brings to Kingston, NY a fresh twist on a breakfast classic: sourdough bagels. This local establishment is the brainchild of Elana Carlson, a culinary entrepreneur whose journey from Martha’s Vineyard led to the creation of this unique bagel stop. The space Fantzye occupies is itself distinctive—a quirky triangular brick building that perfectly matches the shop’s innovative approach to bagels. Frequently bustling, Fantzye pulls in locals and visitors alike, offering a wide array of hand-shaped, naturally leavened bagels boiled and baked to perfection.
The defining feature of Fantzye is its commitment to local and seasonal produce, a nod to the abundant agricultural landscape of the Hudson Valley. This is evident in the rotating menu, which includes Schmears made from fresh vegetables and breakfast sandwiches featuring locally sourced lion's mane mushrooms. Not to be missed is their lemon-caper lox, served open-faced—a true testament to their inventive spirit. Coffee and tea enthusiasts will also find their fix with selections from Parlor Espresso, complemented by a range of seasonal beverages.
Fantzye’s interior embodies a blend of Scandinavian-inspired design and community-focused touches. Custom woodwork and textiles create a welcoming atmosphere where regulars feel at home. The proprietor’s meticulous attention to detail extends beyond the kitchen—Elana Carlson’s hands-on involvement in space design ensures that every corner reflects her commitment to quality and community. Fantzye is more than a bagel spot; it’s a slice of the vibrant culinary resurgence happening in Kingston.
