Fantastic bagels! Crispy and blistery on the outside, chewy on the inside. I can’t speak for the fish, but you’ve got the try the herb spread. It’s amazing on the everything bagel! There’s an awesome heated, covered patio with a fire pit, as well as lots of outside picnic table seating when the weather is nice. Great to grab a bagel if you’re starving, waiting in line at Sea Wolf. I find the prices totally reasonable, 2 for a bagel and 2 for the spread. I’m sure the fish is the pricier bit, but I’m more than happy to grab a 4 breakfast.

This is my favorite bagel place in Seattle! Their plain with sea salt is to die for and their chili spread is so delicious! The people are always so friendly too. It’s overall an excellent place to sit and enjoy a bagel sandwich and coffee or grab some to go for the week!

Great bagel experience this morning! I ordered the Everything bagel with the chili cream cheese. The texture was just chewy enough with plenty of seasoning (and caraway seeds, there usually aren't enough). My partner got the Kippered Salmon Sandwich. He said it was delicious, but couldn't see himself spending 14 on one again for the size. We'll definitely be back for the bagels.

I’m obsessed with this place. You can see them preparing everything behind the counter, which I always love—and everything just feels fresh and full of good energy. The bagels and cream cheese are incredible—perfect texture, great flavor, and you can tell they really care about the food they’re putting out. It’s got that neighborhood vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Definitely in my top 5 favorite quick breakfast spots in Seattle right now.

Excellent flavors in their sandwich. The fish was really high quality and delicious. Went with the Smoked Cod sandwich and it was awesome. The bagel it comes on I'd give a 4/5, as its texture wasn't what I preferred, but it was still a good bagel. Didn't have quite the crunch/bite that I want on the exterior, but it did have the right chew. Don't let most reviews fool you, this is one of the better bagels in Seattle and closer to an east coast bagel than most within the city. I'd give them a 9/10.

coming from nj/nyc area, I found their bagel sandwiches super tasty and good enough to come back in the future to hold me over until I make visits back home. Not too deflated, the herb cc is SO good, definitely pricey but it comes with the salmon roe.

I had the Lox bagel sandwich, my kids each had a plain bagel no cream cheese and my husband had a plain bagel with cream cheese. We all loved them. The house cured salmon was delish! I would say, personal opinion here, that this place is more expensive than our other bagel eating locations. Aside from that the atmosphere is great, service was incredibly friendly. My only wish would be that they put a menu on a larger board so you can see what they offer prior to arriving at the checkout. I’m super indecisive and don’t enjoy the pressure of not knowing what I want with people waiting in line behind me. Again, this is a total personal preference. Our experience was great and I am looking forward to going back for the other salmon bagel.

Amazing ambiance, sweet staff, and delish bagels. Pricey but worth !! I also had a phenomenal coffee here better than the one at Milstead & Co from down the street!
