The original bagel shop in Seattle. We have been going there for years. The bagels are fresh and hot and the flavors are delicious

Nearly $8 for a mediocre whole wheat bagel and lackluster sundried tomato/basil cream cheese. I was starving and desperate for a bite to eat. Hadn't been here in several years, but I remembered their bagels as being good. That was well over 6 years ago. Man, have things changed. I understand inflation, but what you pay for an underwhelming bagel and cream cheese here is ridiculous. And the seating in their booths is super uncomfortable. Not recommended, at all. read more

Closest to NY bagels that I found in the Seattle area. The service is not very friendly or efficient, but it was worth the trip for the bagels. The bagels were obviously boiled and have the chewy texture that I am looking for. If you prefer a texture more like bread, go elsewhere read more

Very stingy on the lox. And we ordered a bagel sandwich to go for our plane ride. How brainless it was of them not to even cut in in half! What really angered me was that they added an additional dollar to the generous tip I left them! WOW! How unethical is that? Also, they need to update their website; the priced don't match the actual prices! No. We won't be returning. read more

Been there couple of days ago seeking morning breakfast. Well place was nearby so I wanted to try. Paid about $13 for a bagel-sandwich which was 1/5, interior is old and in a bad condition for the price policy they asking. Coffee not the worse. Gave 2 stars instead of 1 just because of server. She was nice and polite read more

By Seattle standards it's a good bagel, if I lived in the area I'd stop by from time to time because they are decent bagels (and I do love Bagels). Like many others that lived on the east coast , they just are not amazing. They are too small and the taste just isn't there. Blazing Bagels is still the best (NY style) bagel you can get in Seattle area. Eltana is the only Montreal bagel in town. So if your in the area, sure....but I wouldn't drive for these bagels. The staff was nice and the place was clean. read more

So good! Tried this for the first time recently. Blazing Bagels is our go-to but it was far too crowded on a Sunday morning. Went here instead. Pleasantly surprised! Got 4 egg, cheese, and sausage bagels, 1 everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and a coffee. Price was reasonable at ~$45 or so. Only thing was the wait was a little long, but understandably so (Sunday morning lots of traffic). Parking lot was conveniently located just around the corner with lots of spaces. I would come back for sure! read more

I wanna start by saying I love their food. The bagel sandwiches are so good. Would eat them everyday! However, the customer service at this place is diabolical. Everybody here is very stand-offish and extremely anti social. I was the only person here about a week ago and I ordered 1 breakfast bagel sandwich. After waiting about 15 minutes I started to pace back and forth to make my curiosity and frustration visible, yet the girl saw me and chose not to acknowledge me... Fair enough. Then after about ten more minutes I go up and ask what's taking so long and the girl says "oh the person who's qualified to make the sandwich was on break, but they just got back and is gonna start making it now". This is probably the rudest and most inconsiderate interaction I've ever had in my life at a restaurant. This venue needs a manager. The young adults they have running it are making this place an atrocity. Owner, take notice of all the reviews about the terrible customer service and hire better employees! read more

I love this place and these bagels sooo much! You have to get the everything bagel with the scallion cream cheese. So delicious!

Order from here almost once a week, good bagel sandwiches and love that they are on grub hub since I work close by

I really enjoy this shop. My only complaint is you cannot remove items from a meal/sandwich if you order online or through an app. The meatless is Seattle is delicious, except the avocado spread. Definitely a tasty stop. read more

Best Bagels in Seattle for my money. Buy them when they are hot and you will be in heaven biting into one. Atmosphere of restaurant is 1950s diner style. No fun to eat there. Second favorite bagels are from Epstein in QFC, University Village. But Epstein doesn't have any other food and Its not a restaurant. The young lady who serves us is a delight. read more

this review is specifically in regard to cross-contamination and food handling issues that I believe other folks in the community should be aware of before eating here. my order of a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with plain cream cheese was clearly cut in half using a knife that had either lox or lox cream cheese all over it. I was about to begin eating the first half of my sandwich and noticed there was orange goo all over the cream cheese. my partner opened his bagel sandwich (an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese) and it actually had a whole chunk of salmon on it. I am pretty deathly allergic to salmon, so I couldn't eat my sandwich at all ...but even if I weren't allergic, this is still unacceptable. cross-contamination is a food handling no-no. it makes sense now that they only have an "Okay" safety rating from King County. had I not been paying close attention before eating, I would have landed in the ER. won't be back, which is unfortunate because I'd otherwise heard good things and this spot seemed promising. but it's not worth risking health and safety for an overpriced bagel and cream cheese. read more

Bagel Oasis - you can see the salmon cream cheese on the inside of my partner's bagel bag. neither of us ordered salmon. - Bagels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good consistency of the bagel but they are also flavorless. We tried plain, salt and sourdough. Yes the staff isn't friendly as others have noted. No need to come back here. Maybe if you put a bunch of stuff on them you won't notice. read more

Gross! I got my usual of a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese and the fruit salad. I went to take a bite of the fruit salad and the honeydew was fermented! Yum! Fortunately they were nice and understanding and gave me a refund for the fruit salad! The bagel and cream cheese has always been good! I was just surprised to bite into a piece of fermenting honeydew! I will be back; but now I know to stay away from the fruit! What is going on??? Just went back today...thought I would give the fruit salad a shot again, and yuck!!!! The grapes were okay; but the honeydew and the cantaloupe both tasted disgusting! I'm becoming angrier and angrier with this place! The cantaloupe and the honeydew both tasted like the fridge! Not even joking! I had a piece of honeydew that tasted like meat! How is that even possible? This place has decent bagels and spreads; but at this point, I don't think I'll be back! read more

I'm visiting my kids from the east coast. While Bagel Oasis bagels are good, they are very small compared to NJ/NY bagels and more expensive. The service from the staff is mediocre at best. Someone took my order this morning, and then goes off to do something else, leaving my bagel sitting there. Then someone else made my bagel sandwich, tossing the bagel I had picked back into the place it came from and picked another bagel from same flavor pile. The Schmear was light also. I'll good to Blazing Bagels next time! read more

Say wha?!? I can't believe the rating is sooo low! Granted, it appears most of the low ratings are due to service/wait times and I have only experienced Bagel Oasis from a food delivery service... I've regularly ordered from Bagel Oasis for the last 6/7 mos when I get a hankering for bagels. I like their bagels. They actually taste like bagels and not just bread that's been formed into the shape of bagels (yeah some of the other bagel places taste like this!) my go-to is the everything bagel but I like to change up my cream cheese game. Like one of the other reviewers said the bagel could you just a lil more chew, but it is still quite solid in consistency and flavor. The feta and dill cream cheese is yum to the max!! Good ratio of the cream cheese to dill-it's light on the feta so not overpowering. The lox and veggie are great too! One of my coworkers swears by their egg on a bagel with sausage and cheese. read more

In Seattle we are starting to have choices when it comes to bagels. As such Bagel Oasis needs to step up the game. The bagels where ok. I got a salt bagel and it just a slightly salty plain bagel. It did not have that punch in the face salt that it should have. The smoked salmon spread was blended, which is nice, but not enough salmon. It was slightly fishy plain spread. read more

Excellent bagels and comparable to a New York City bagel! The plain sourdough with butter and pumpernickel were great!

The bagels are good and chewy and somewhat close to New York bagels, but the prices are just ridiculous - 7 dollars for a simple bagel and cream cheese. Also their bagel variety isn't as big as some other Seattle spots. Still think it was a solid bagel but the value for money wasn't there read more

Full disclosure, I am from the East Coast, and maintain that the bagels out here are not very good. Therefore, my rating is based on Bagel Oasis' bagels relative to other Seattle bagels, as well as the ordering experience. First of all, everytime I have ordered from here, COVID or not, they are incredibly disorganized. It always takes SO LONG for them to get an order together. You can watch the staff assembling orders and it's pretty painful to watch. Bagels themselves are okay. I have gone here a few times over the past 5 years, most recently this summer, and I honestly feel like the bagels used to be better. They're kind of small and the texture is just alright--I wish they were a bit chewier. I do like that they have a lot of variety in the bagels and they offer sandwiches. read more

13.50 for an untoasted bagel with almost no cream cheese and some shitty egg. L bagel shop

If I am going to order a $12 omelette, I would hope that it came with ACTUAL avocado and not some pre-made jarred guac. I am going to stick to ordering bagels and cream cheese The University Omelette- Bacon, tomato, avocado and Swiss cheese. read more

Horrible service. They were disorganized and it took us 30 minutes to get a bagel and a coffee. The bagels either had wayyyy too much cream cheese or not enough. They spent 15 minutes making a latte that was 3/4 full of foam. Worst experience in a bagel place I've ever had. The only reason why I gave it a star is because the actual bagel was decent. Employees should be ashamed of themselves. read more

I've lived in the area for almost a decade now and just had another rude encounter with one of the employees. The bagels are fine, I enjoy picking up the everything bagels and the open faced lox is always great. I just can't get over how rude and indifferent the staff is! I just stopped in to pick up a few bagels on 7/3/2020 about 15 min before close and the employee shouted "what can I get for you" when I was a foot in the door (the counter is another 40ft in) and "we basically don't have anything" when I get to the counter. Of course they did and I pick out a few things, when I get to the register to pay I ask if everything is ok - "just trying to get out of here" ... I get it, it's a holiday tomorrow, I'm in a rush too. Hesitated for a minute before adding a tip. Once I get out the door the employee slams the crowbar through the handles from the inside and there you go - closed now 10 minutes early. This place seems to employ a lot of college aged kids and there's decent turnover, this employee I've seen for at least a year, the indifference to the patrons is systemic. It reflects on the ownership - for a place to be around this long and have no love or camaraderie with the community says what you need to know. Decent bagels, but the door may slam behind you on the way out. read more

Getting flavored cream cheese on your bagel will cost you an extra $3.25, when buying 8 oz of their flavored creme cheese costs $5.50. Not sure how that makes sense when the bagels have an average amount of cream cheese. Was a good bagel, but not worth the $10 I spent on one bagel. My bagel: everything bagel with egg, Swiss, scallion cream cheese read more

As much as I love the bagels here (and yes, I love them...they make my heart palpitate and I write little mash notes to them and if they had a phone I'd send them heart emojis), I'm afraid several recent visits have convinced me to knock some stars off. One lost star is squarely on customer service. I don't expect to be swooned over by anyone, but honestly there are times when I've been here over the last several months where it seemed like nobody behind the counter knew what to do when they realized I was there to order something. A specific example was a few months ago when I was the third person in line and there were four people working behind the counter, and yet it took 35 minutes to get two bagels and two teas. A few weeks later, I watched bemused as they explained to another customer that the giant order she'd called in the day before had been put on a piece of paper and then forgotten. Derp, derp, derp! There are several folks here who provide divine customer service, but it is a total coin toss as to whether those people will be working when I show up. The good ones are really good; the others seem like it is either their first day on the job or perhaps like they're just more interested in making bagels rather than selling them. I dunno. A second lost star is because this has got to be one of the dreariest places in Seattle...it has all of the ambience of a basement rec room that was last redecorated in the 1980s. I know "dreary" can be a beloved thing around here (e.g., the Kingdome), but after a while...? New lighting and a fresh coat of much brighter paint would do worlds for this place. Circling back to the most important thing, though: the bagels here are without peer in Seattle. If you can tolerate the customer service hiccups and sullen decor, you're in for a tasty treat. read more

I gave this place a second try and I am never going back again. My first time, I got a bunch of bagels. They were pretty mediocre. I still went back to try some of the hot menu items. I ordered a spinach and feta omelette. It was single thing egg omlette with a bunch of sauteed veggies. There was a sprinkle if crumbled feta OUTSIDE the omlette. The second dish I ordered was chicken soup. I'd say it was the worst chicken soup I've tasted in Seattle. There were 3 pieces of tiny dice chicken in it. And BTW, bring your winter coats - the place is always freezing. I bet they don't turn on the heat. Still can't believe a place like this exists in a foodie city such as Seattle!! read more

What a fun small business to step into! The freshly baked bagels with an omelette is a must-have! The staff were super friendly and responsive. However the bathrooms were a bit dirty and hard to find. Overall a great place for a fulfilling bagel sandwich! read more

Tasty coffee, kind staff, and GREAT bagels. My breakfast sandwich came on a freshly baked sesame bagel and it was a 10/10 Stop by this cute and cozy local shop! read more

This bagel place is the same as it was 15+ yrs ago and while that might be good for some, the value is not the same. 3/7/24 and I paid $6.62 for 1 toasted bialy ($3) with cream cheese ($3 for either a light or regular portion). And while it's the closest thing to a real NY bialy I've found in Seattle, it's probably cheaper to have them shipped to me by the case, frozen from the East coast. The vibe inside is not cheerful or uplifting, music would help as would updated seating. read more

They best bagels in the city. Been coming here forever! We adore the everything bagels and the scallion cream cheese. Fabulous staff!

boors work. in the morning, if you don't want them to ruin your mood, don't go there. Your morning isn't worth it. especially if a plump, fair-haired girl works, she doesn't respect her clients at all. read more

The bagels and food are fine, but our overall service experience was extremely strange and disorienting. Also the restaurant was quite messy. read more

I'm reviewing this place after my first visit so this is based solely on my breakfast bagel sandwich (which was a plain bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon). Overall it was a great sandwich! They use crispy bacon when my preference is for thicker cut slightly undercooked bacon, but I love all bacon so this wasn't a deal-breaker. They use real eggs which is a huge plus! I am so disappointed by any breakfast sandwich place that uses eggs from a carton - gross. The bagel itself was perfectly chewy and fluffy and I give them extra credit for the light cornmeal dusting on the bottom. And for $7.71 total, it's a decent deal for Seattle. The place itself is very spacious and clean. I found the staff to be friendly; they even brought my order to my table which was unexpected. I look forward to going back and trying a bagel with cream cheese to see how these bagels taste on their own. read more

The bagel itself tasted good so giving three stars , but it is quite disappointing when you move the tomatoes and see this is the amount of lox they put on a bagel that costs $13. read more

Bagel Oasis - $13 lox & cream cheese bagel. Lacking lox :/ - Bagels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Service is consistently poor here. Food is overpriced and average bagels at best. I would record blazing bagels instead.

saw this place was ranked as top 10 bagels via infatuation seattle so went in to check it out! i ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. almost $8 for that! bagel was average, nothing to write home about. probably won't come back unfortunately. read more

make sure to specify you want it toasted and if you forget, you cannot get it toasted...$9 for a single non toasted bagel....

Excellent food!!!! The service is also fantastic - it can be busy as a jc penny on Black Friday in 1999 and these bagel-people are HUSTLING!!! Slinging bagels like they know the consequences of a room full of hangry people. Excellent bagels (and scallion cream cheese!) and bangin bagel makers (sure maybe they won't kiss your butt or lick your toes but it's good customer service too). read more
