    Updating to 5* because I'm now hopelessly addicted to these bagels. I've also had the ratatouille sandwich and it's delicious

    Would you look at the color on this bagel?! Absolutely stunning! This rainbow bagel really brightened up my morning. I was in a rush but next time I'm definitely trying one of their bagel sandwiches.

    Located inside a business bldgs. Parking is available. Bagels are fresh - omg delicious! I got a breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel w/ over medium egg, bacon, cheddar, and cream cheese. Soooo good! Staff is friendly and cute deco inside. Check it out!

    Lox and bagels are a weakness of mine. If made correctly, it comes pretty close to a perfect sandwich, in my opinion. I've wanted to try the other Fin's locations, but ended up downtown. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this location has been open since May! I searched the menu and the 'Fin's bagel' was what I chose with the smoked salmon option. I was a little taken back by the price, as the bagel sandwich was $18.00. But being downtown, and based on how much everything costs...I wasn't entirely shocked. The bagel took about 5 to 10 minutes to prepare but it was a sight to behold. Warm, toasted everything bagel Ice cold vegetable toppings Perfectly smoked salmon Large portion of cream cheese This was a very, very good bagel sandwich. The texture of the crispy bagel played well with the fresh produce and the smoked salmon. This wasn't a small bagel...it was pretty big. And I also appreciated that they did not skimp on anything. The bagel was very stuffed and it took me a couple of tries to devour it. Is the bagel worth the price? It took me a long time to answer that question ... Why? Because I was asking the wrong question. Have I had a better smoked salmon bagel sandwich on island? No I have not. So to answer the question...yes, I think it's worth it, because I have not had a better smoked salmon bagel on island! I'll be back to try different options!

    Let me start by saying I LOVE BAGELS! I am so happy that my hubby took off early from work to take me to an appointment I had in town because I was able to check this place out. Normally I am not in town during the week and this location is closed on the weekends. I have never been to their 1st location in Kapahulu but after trying them downtown I may have to make it my business to visit their other location since they're open on the weekends! Parking downtown sucks! We were lucky to find a metered stall about a block away but only had enough change for 20 minutes in the meter. Service was friendly and when we got there it was an hour before closing so they were out of some items. I wanted to try their lemonade but they had just sold the last cup a little before I came. I also noticed that they had empty bins where a couple of their bagels were supposed to be. I was happy that I was still able to get 3 items I wanted. The rise and shine bagel with spam and scrambled eggs on an Asiago bagel was amazing! I shared with my husband but wished I bought two, lol. The daily special was a lemon ricotta cream cheese with blueberries and honey. I got it on a blueberry bagel. Not only was it delicious but it was also beautiful! There were little pieces of basil on it which I loved. The seasonal fruit cream cheese was mango and I couldn't pass it up. I got it on a rainbow bagel and again not only delicious but beautiful! I also got a cup of Thai tea which I was able to sample before buying! I really appreciated being able to sample the drink before I bought it because what I know of Thai tea is that it is SWEEEEEET! This was just a little sweet and very refreshing. I added a little whole milk to make it a milk tea. Love this place and wish I could come back some time soon but doubt I will be able to. I will definitely try to visit their other location.

    My husband purchased the plain bagel with olive cream cheese $7.95. They sell the bagels alone for $3.25. The bagel was toasted and huge. They stuff it with cream cheese, so it's thick. It was just too much. We should have gotten another bagel with no cream cheese and put some of it on that one. It would have been perfect. I'm surprised that he chose olive, because he hardly ever eats olives. It was on the salty side as to be expected, since it is made with olives. He was mistaken and thought it said olive oil. The seasonal fruit is mango. A lot of people at the store were ordering it. Mango cream cheese: how divine. I will be back to try it. They will only have mango until the ending of July, so I will be back soon.

    I'm so glad to hear that Fin's Bagel is now in Downtown! I initially stumbled across this gem at their Kapahulu location on Winam Ave. I love their New York style bagels; hand rolled and kettle-boiled, the traditional way! Don't even get me started on their home made cream cheese. My favorite schmears include the chipotle honey, tobiko limu and banana caramel. Must haves: Fins bagel, adored with their house-cured fish of your choice (salmon, ahi, mahi, or ono) a savory bagel that we literally inhaled. For something lighter my go to is the Rise N Shine bagel which is a classic breakfast bagel sandwich. For someone who prefers a sweeter bagel, you can't go wrong with the blue Hawai'i that features my favorite schmear, banana caramel cream cheese with bacon, peanut butter and apple banana. Currently they have a monthly special, which is my current favorite; lemon ricotta bagel. It's so nice and perfect for the summer heat. Get it before it's gone!! Located in bishop square, there's parking in the building but it is quite confusing finding your way back up. If you work in downtown, this is the perfect breakfast spot. The workers are fast and soo sweet so there's no need to call ahead.

    Great addition to the downtown food scene! Located in that small walk way along ASB's parking lot they have such a cute shop! If I worked downtown i'd be so getting breakfasts here! Their bagels are probably the closest I've had to NYC bagels! That is definitely saying something! They have a wide variety of types and it seems like they're always baking fresh ones as they were out of rainbow bagels but she checked the back and had just finished a new batch! While their bagels are comparable, their fancier bagels with fillings aren't quite there. I got the fin's bagel on an everything bagel, they gave a decent amount of salmon, unfortunately it was a little off centered in distribution, one half had so much salmon every bite forced more of it out the back, while the other one didn't have much. They were also out of the other fishes and just had salmon T_T Fishermen were off. With the bagel sandwich being so big the roof of my mouth was a little cut up from the everything bagel, so maybe next time I'll pick something else instead as my bagel. I really want to try the blue hawaii next time! Also...someone please suggest where they found good onion bagels, those are my favorite but almost no one has them!

    I finally was able to make my way to Fin's Bagel in Downtown Honolulu, which is one block away from where I work. This shop is located in Bishop Square near Jack in the Box. I went right when're they opened at 7:00am, so there were no lines. It's a cute, small shop with beautiful murals painted on each side of the walls. There is a small seating area on the right side of the shop, but I'm sure a lot of people mainly do takeout. I've already been here twice. The first time I went, I didn't know what to order, so I asked the friendly worker what she recommended. Since it was breakfast time, she recommended the Rise and Shine. I got it on their rainbow bagel, and it comes with bacon, cheddar cheese, and I also had a choice of having my eggs over medium or scrambled--my choice being over medium. It did take a while to make, but yumminess takes time. The second time I went, I got the same Rise and Shine, but this time got my eggs scrambled. It was pretty good, but I do prefer it with the eggs scrambled rather than over medium because I felt like it had more flavor. I think the over-medium egg was lacking salt, even with the bacon and cheese. Also on my second visit, I got a plain bagel with plain cream cheese. Now, I could say that this is just an ordinary plain bagel with plain cream cheese you can find anywhere else, but let me tell you--it isn't. The bagel here just hits different. It has that crunch from being toasted, but also a chewiness factor that makes it stand out from other bagels. What surprised me the most, though, was how much cream cheese was smeared on the bagel. When I tell you half a tub of cream cheese was used, I'm not lying. (See photos!) I'm glad to know that they're super generous with cream cheese. All in all, this is a perfect place for downtown workers to pick up some pretty good bagels. They have a bunch of flavored bagels and cream cheeses to choose from, and also a bunch of sandwich items made with the bagel of your choice. I do think that street parking can be difficult to find if someone were to drive here, but there are parking structures nearby (which may be costly). Also, the wait time for your food can be a factor if you're running late for work, especially during peak hours. Other than that, Fin's Bagel in downtown Honolulu is pretty solid.

    I forgot to bring my lunch today on a classic busy Monday, but I'm so glad I did! I ventured off for a quick walk to beat the lunch crowd in downtown and I found Fin's tucked away near Tamarind Park. I walked in and was met by Amanda who was super welcoming, kind, and the perfect energy to help you start your Monday/Week. I had heard a little bit about how Fin's shipped in their bagels from New York, and Amanda made sure to really help me understand and appreciate what they had to offer. I ended up ordering the Kiawe-Smoked Brisket sandwich on an Asiago Cheese bagel, and it was a banger!! While the owner Sean was making magic in the back for me, I had to make sure some of my coworkers from the office got a taste as well. I ordered a few different kinds of bagels (plain, rainbow, and everything) and a tub of their roasted garlic cream cheese. It lasted five minutes by the time I got back to the office, and they all made sure to add Fin's in their phones so they could make the walk themselves. During that time, I also tried a sample of their Nitro Thai Tea...life changing!! Do yourself a favor and forget your breakfast or lunch at home!

    Bagels with the thickest shmears. Small space for downtown but good enough for your orders and a few ppl to wait in line. Presentation of the bagel was adorable. Got the rainbow bagel with the mango cream cheese and the July special: Lilikoi. Definitely wish this flavor was on the menu continuously.

    Leah H.

    So I went one day for the yelp event and then decided I had to go back again! I love bagels . I was a little disappointed today as the nitro cold brew was out and it was so good that I was really craving it. This time I tried the fruit spread which was mango and house made cream cheese. And YKIYK but they put a little less cheese cream on if it is flavored. This place downtown may be a little hard to get to with parking but it is super worth a stop if you are downtown. If not go check out their other location! But what ever you do just go enjoy the bagels and nitro cold brew!! Their Thai tea is also good but I still loved the nitro cold brew

    I went in around 7:30am, a little busy, but not too hectic. I ordered the rainbow bagel with nitro cold brew (but it wasn't made yet, so maybe I'll go back and try it because I heard it was good!!!). I settled for the cold brew which was ok! I'm giving the bagel a 3.8/5! I liked the texture and minimal crunch. The cream cheese was heavyyyyyy, I had to scrape off 98% of it (I'm so sorry cream cheese lovers!!!!) Overall experience, 3.5/5 (will round up to a 4 star) Use Google maps if you're not familiar with the area because Apple Maps will take you to a whole different building lol. It was good

    This was my first time here and after hearing wonderful reviews of these bagels and things, I was…read moreso pleased to try it for myself. They have a pretty organized set up there, sad that Ward will be tearing down soon, I hope they have another location to set up shop at, because this was, indeed, a great experience. I went to New York City a few years ago for the first time and I was told by many friends that I have to try the pizza and bagels in NYC. I did try both and I actually found my favorite pizza in New Jersey to be honest (I have a Yelp review on that). But the bagels were pretty much great everywhere. I had several, but i'm told it's the real deal in NYC. I'm from Hawaii, I get how people are particular about their food. Hawaii food is way up there in rank. But this bagel went beyond my bagel expectations, and let me tell you why. First of all, they took the time to explain to this small time local mind, what everything was, like schmear and types of bagels, to be exact. We came close to closing, so the options were limited, which probably worked in my favor and indicisiveness. I chose the egg bagel and it was very delicious and the schmear, which was really underplayed in description was WOW!! Tasty and so smooth and creamy and dreamy...lol, I wish I bought more, cause i'm making my own mouth water. Long story short, it was great, worth the wait and definitely filling to perfection!! I'm no bagel expert, by no means, but this was my favorite. I cant wait to try other flavors in the near future!! Great Job Tali's Bagels & Schmear and by the way, your staff is pretty amazing, but i'm sure you know this already!!

    Food: We ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese. I don't have much to compare it with since I…read morehardly order bagels but I thought it was pretty good. Nice crunch with a soft chewy inside. There was a generous amount of cream cheese so much that it would ooze out with every bite. Service: its just a counter, but the order came out pretty quick and the workers seemed nice. Price: Again, I dont know a lot about bagels but $7 does seem a little high for a plain bagel. Maybe next time I would try one of their bagel sandwiches.

Get to the front to understand they only have two types of bagels and everything else was out. Also sold out of coffee. Horrible. The 3 teens working were exceptionally slow, had no idea what was going on, and it was sheer chaos. Even customers were talking amongst themselves saying there needs to be someone older there who has some leadership skills. The food sucked. One bite into the 20$ bagel and all the contents slid out because the bagel was a brick. What a horrible waste of money and time. Go somewhere else. It's clear the owners give no care about the success of their business running it this way.

I guess they may have gone out of business. While looking around, I stumbled upon The Porch. It looked good and seemed popular, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Turkey Pesto Sandwich, and boy was I surprised. This wasn't the thin, pre-sliced turkey you get at the grocery store. It was made with thick slices of turkey breast, fresh tomatoes, and spinach, all served on a buttery croissant bun. On the side was a fresh spinach salad topped with tomatoes.
