Otherlands Coffee Bar in midtown is definitely worth the drive.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with cute little tables and local artists’ work on the walls. Live music plays every Friday and Saturday from 8pm to midnight, and it is a great place to hang out on the weekends. There is coffee, food, weird but cool gifts, and live music.

During my visit, I ordered a cappuccino and a bagel sandwich. The cappuccino was very well-made: the espresso had a nice strong flavor and a texture that was extremely silky. The foam that topped the cappuccino was my favorite part; it was incredibly fluffy and added a touch of sweetness to my day.

The bagel sandwich was surprisingly good as well. I do not usually enjoy bagel sandwiches because of the messiness and the usual lack of effort put into them, but this particular one was fantastic. The sandwich came with a choice of bagel, I chose plain as well as cheddar, tomato slices, and a secret sauce. I also paid an extra 15 cents for cream cheese.

While the individual ingredients do not sound that amazing, the sandwich was delectable. The bagel was toasted perfectly, so there were no hard, crunchy parts and it was completely warm and soft. There was also a nice toasty aftertaste that left me wanting more.

The tomato slices and the cheddar cheese tasted delicious together. Whatever the secret sauce is made of, it definitely works! There was a tangy flavor in the sauce that made me fall in love with the sandwich. I was very tempted to order another sandwich because I ate mine much too quickly.

The sauce had some kind of spice in it that gave the sandwich a very unique taste that I cannot relate to anything I have eaten before. Although I can usually recreate recipes at home, I was pleasantly surprised at my inability to identify the secret ingredient in the sauce.

This cute and little coffee bar in the heart of midtown is a fantastic place to do homework or just hang out while having some coffee and a perfect bagel sandwich.
