Editor’s Picks
Staple Bagels
Since 1996, the Bagel Mill has been providing daily fresh-baked bagels, sandwiches and tasty pastries to Peterborough and beyond. Known as one of the best kept gems in town, the bakery loves to serve up coffee, a boutique breakfast or lunch and cozy atmosphere all in one spot. Choose from bagel options like apple crunch, multigrain or spinach and top it off with toppings like bacon scallion or strawberry spread, or take it up a level and make it a whole sandwich. You won’t leave here hungry. www.bagelmillnh.com
Cottage-style Deli
Live Free Food in Berlin is a local, specialty to-go handmade goods (think deli-meets-cottage style bakery). Their breakfast and lunch menus include items like an egg and cheese on house brioche, creamy tomato soup or a bacon and goat cheese sandwich. A variety of baked goods, coffees and teas round out your experience of “scratch food made with love.” www.livefreefoodstore.com
Gourmet Breakfast to Go
Pressed for Time is your gourmet mobile café. Build your own breakfast sandwich or try the Gobble Gobble or Squealin’ scrambler with hash browns and an Americano to get your day started. Check out their website to see where they are at today (usually Seacoast Sport Cycle in Derry)! www.pressedfortimecoffee.com
