Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut, has recently concocted two delicious new cream cheese flavors just in time for fall – Peach and Apple Caramel.
Between Rounds seasonal and innovative flavors are developed and produced in-house. They are available for a limited time only and will rotate depending on the month. The company’s traditional cream cheese flavors that are menu staples include plain, low-fat vegetable, scallion, strawberry and vanilla raisin walnut.
The brainchild of Staten Island brothers Jerry and Joe Puiia, Between Rounds cafés are located in Vernon, South Windsor, Manchester and Tolland. The Puiia hallmark is manufacturing and selling their own bagels, which set them apart from other cafés. Now, they are quickly becoming known for new, offbeat cream cheese flavors handcrafted right in the store.
“We offer the traditional flavors, but the trend is flavors that have a little twist to them. Robust or unusual flavors are the most popular,” explained Jerry Puiia, co-owner of Between Rounds.
According to Puiia, some flavors are more difficult to create than others. For example a single fruit-based flavor, such as Between Rounds strawberry cream cheese, doesn’t have the ingredient complexity of their new apple caramel flavor. Also, flavors that are savory tend to have a more complex ingredient panel. One other consideration during creation of a new flavor is the shelf life. No preservatives are added to Between Rounds cream cheese creations.
Between Rounds encourages the community to suggest new flavors. Anyone who recommends a cream cheese flavor that Between Rounds adopts, will receive a certificate for a dozen bagels a month for six months. “Cream Cheese Flavor” suggestions may be emailed to info@betweenroundsbagels.com with your name and flavor suggestion.
