    Remaining bagels at 1500 (9/26/24)
    Marie B.

    With all the writeups on various newbie bagel biz, you'd think the greater Puget Sound region just discovered this versatile carb canvas. A total bagel OG indie since 1988...36 years!...in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood. I used to live next door and acclimated to that pleasant scent. Well except way back when, seeing rolling bagels on fire. Another anecdote entirely, I digress. I've bought countless bagels for home and for work way back when, preYelp. Totally surprised that I haven't penned an actual post. Well today I stopped in during the last business hour (3pm) and was surprised to see such a surplus in the display case (9/26/24). I ordered a plain bagel ($2.75), toasted, then with an added schmear of cream cheese ($3). As vanilla as it gets. With tax & tip, this was $7.35. Wow. Seriously. I paid up and satiated the need for dunch/linner while on a budget and on the go. Having recently stopped by Toasted in the UDistrict and Eltana on Capitol Hill, I was feeling nostalgic and stopped in at Bagel Oasis. I just can't get over how much bagels, like everything else, has become so pricey.

    This is the top bagel shop in the region at the moment. At the very least, top 3. It's the one store I keep returning to while waiting for a new place to open soon. But it's not consistent. I sat and watched five or six batches of bagels come out of the kitchen one morning, and every batch was cooked to a different degree of brown (even factoring in different flavors). And the edge-to-edge thickness was not consistent in some bagels. Oh, and they crowd the bagels so they up with flat sides like a bad donut. But the flavor is good. And I can fix them at home when reheating in a convection oven. Will definitely be returning.

    $20 for a toasted everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, this sad amount of lox, 12oz drip coffee, and tip. Overpriced and overall just okay

    Beacon Hill on a salt bagel

    I've been coming in a bunch lately after not having visited for years... I'm always so happy! It's usually quite calm inside so the service is fast. I've had the pork sandwich with pikliz, the Beacon Hill (turkey and bacon), and last time the jalapeño cream cheese... All were really good! I'm not sure why they aren't crazy busy all the time, I guess there are a lot of new bagel places in fashion. I love those places too, but Bagel Oasis has stood the test of time and always treats me right.

    Original order: they forgot the lox
    Kailey C.

    0/5 for service. When I walked in at 2 30pm on a Thursday, 2 people were making bagels, 0 people greeted me. A woman in line said she'd been waiting over 5 minutes already. One of the bagel orders came out, and the person had to come back to the counter because his bagel was missing lox. After 10 minutes, the woman in front of me was finally able to order (the first time either of the people behind the counter acknowledged her) - she had to wait 10 minutes for 6 bagels and cream cheese to-go!!! I ordered a bagel with lox, and it was only after I got home that I realized that they forgot my lox, too. I returned and they kindly remade my bagel sandwich. However, they only added 1/2 a slice of lox to each side! The standard is at least 3 slices of lox, so you get a nice thick bite. What a waste of both $15 ($20 with tax and tip!) and time.

    This review is exclusively for the pumpernickel bagel! I have been separated from New York, and my beloved pumpernickel bagel with whitefish salad, for nearly nine months now. I have not sought one out here in Seattle because I was skeptical one would meet my standards. Turns out, people here are committed to making VERY discerning lists of the best bagels in town, especially for a place that doesn't have too many options in the first place. Bagel Oasis' bagels are a standout among permanent stores; the creme de la creme, of course, comes from elusive popups like Hey Bagel. The inside is a bit bleak for dining in, but the guy at the counter was very friendly! A single bagel came out to about $3. Because they don't carry whitefish salad, I took the bagel home to assemble. The taste test exceeded expectations: the crust was hard enough that tapping on it sounded like a horse's gallop, but not too tough (one can only assess bagel texture properly when untoasted); the inside was chewy without being dense. An extremely successful bagel quest!

    Lox and Cream Cheese Sandwich
    Val E.

    $13.99 for a fully loaded lox bagel? Yes please!! I had the salmon and lox sandwich on a pumpernickel bagel with a lovely cappuccino. Super sweet employees, and I like how they offer an express line for people just buying bagels by the dozen! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.

Okay, they also sell coffee and tea, muffins, and a yummy chocolate chip cookie. (Had to try one if I'm coming all the way from downtown!) Bagels were baked perfectly. Each one looks as if it was made individually- the level of detail of the flavors, rhe color, the texture. Nice chewy crust with a light interior. They toast up beautifully (at home - no slicing or roasting at the bakery). This is a bagel that says "hey, have another one" rather than the kind which lay in your stomach. I didn't try the spreads, but have absolute confidence that they would be marvelous. Worth every second of the 30-minute bus ride. Heck. Go out of your way to come here!

My particular bagel was a little on the drier side, but even then, it is still a very strong contender for Seattle standards. If you are looking for a high-quality bagel and don't mind a little line, this place is definitely a must-visit. I'll be back to try a few more of their schmear flavors soon!

I'm not the inhumane one here and let's get that straight. I didn't rip people off - you did! You got what you deserved and that's that. You likely have time to turn things around but I doubt you can reduce your greed in time. If you do, I'll gladly come back and support yall. Again - food was great and greed was not.

The bagel itself was smaller than a typical bagel and had some capers and a small amount of cooked (not smoked) mashed up salmon in the center school lunch cafeteria style. The bagel was chewy but lacked any crispiness on the outside. Basic, not generous, amount of cream cheese. The salmon had barely detectable flavor if any, while most of the flavor came from the capers. Overall, I felt a bit like I had been scammed. The chocolate chip cookie was actually pretty good. Not great, but good enough. Note about the service: I walked up to the counter to order and asked if they would bring it out--the person i ordered from said yes--so I tipped accordingly. I took a seat in the main seating area on the patio and poured myself a glass of water from the self service station. After around 20 minutes of waiting and looking inside to see if anyone was coming out i walked in and asked one of the people preparing bagels if someone was going to bring my order out. He looked confused, pointing to a row of bags on the counter, one of which was my order. Now, I tip generously for service, but more often than not i don't tip when I order and pick up my own food at a counter. Again, I felt a bit scammed. There are much better bagel options in Seattle, and certainly ones that don't ask $16 for such an unremarkable one that I had.

A few things to consider: I've never had a bagel on its own here, only a bagel sandwich. So I don't feel as though I can give an expert opinion on the bagels. However, they do work very well for the sandwiches. The everything bagel is absolutely loaded with seasoning, and has an incredible saltiness (I'm a salty man, so this is a good thing). I feel as though this elevates the eggs to a new level. I was immediately drawn to a pastrami breakfast sandwich, because it's a top tier meat. This will feel more like you're eating thin roast beef because of the color, but it's still pretty good. I do think that this sandwich needs some acidity to balance out all of the fat, so grab some hot sauce at the counter. Overall this was a great sandwich, and I would get it again. That being said, I feel like the bagels are lacking due to a fault in a core ingredient. They all come with potatoes, and I think that they're either boiled or not quite roasted enough. Having to deal with undercooked potatoes dispersed throughout a mondo burrito is a battle that I'm unwilling to wage - but people seem to love 'em. The other ingredients and overall flavor is nice, though. Rachel's is a fun place with good coffee, too. And they let me bring my dog in which is dope.
