    Raspberry matcha green tea cream cheese in asiago Weird combo but damn it's good!
    Dan A.

    Those of you bagel heads, this is the spot for you. Real NY bagels...you can read about how they get their bagels from NY on their store. Bagels - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Plenty of selections. Definitely got some interesting and custom flavors. The ones we tried were Nalani on everything bagel and the raspberry matcha on Asiago. Bagels were delicious. Fresh and high quality. The Nalani felt like a healthy breakfast - but still very good. The raspberry matcha tasted like a donut but with a bagel twist. If you like dessert or donuts, give it a try. If you like matcha, you may be disappointed that the matcha is overpowered by the raspberry. I'll have to try other ones on the menu. We'll be back!

    I tried the Everything bagel with balsamic nut Mac cream cheese. The bagel was delicious but the cream cheese didn't deliver for me. I didn't taste balsamic. The blueberry bagel was so good and fresh. We also tied the rise "n" shine bagel sandwich! So good. Hit the spot. The bagels were perfectly toasted and very fresh. The staff was friendly and the service was fast considering the line was out the door. Will be back again!

    Finishing touches on the Fin bagel sandwich

    "Messy, messy, messy... but gooood!" Fin's is located where Magoo's Pizza was located when they were revived a couple of years ago. They are within the first block of Winam ave, (Diamond Head side) where Winam and Kapahulu ave intersect. Hawaii has always had bagel shops but within the last couple of years "specialty" bagel shops featuring delicious bagel sandwich variations have blossomed in Hawaii. There is do much more to life than a plain The bagel offerings are quite good and generous with the filling quantity. There is some parking in the front but street parking maybe a useful option. The staff is friendly and efficient- issues with them. When in the mood for bagels, a viable consideration.

    Smoked fish salad on an everything bagel!
    Steven U.

    I'm a big fan of bagels and cream cheese. I feel like I could eat them in some form everyday. But good bagels are hard to find...especially in the islands. I was fortunate to stop at Fin's downtown and find my bagel....a Fin's bagel with salmon...on an everything bagel...yummo! After that visit, I made it my misson to visit all of the Fin's bagel locations to try all the goodness. It's early in my quest, but stopping in Kapahulu seemed like a moral imperitive. This location has a few 'pull-up' parking stalls so you can quickly park, order, and go. There's no seating inside, but they do have a few outdoor tables, which is convenient. The customer service here was just as the good as the food. They were happy, helpful, and made my experience wonderful. I was unsure of my next tasty purchase....do I buy the same bagel to see if it tasted the same...do I get something else? The nice people who work here could tell I was at the crossroads. I asked questions, mainly about the fish salad. They actually gave me a sample of it...and I was sold! I opted for a Fin's bagel with the smoked fish salad on it. It was just as stacked and stuffed as the downtown location, which is what I was looking for. This hefty bagel is not the most inexpensive sandwich, but it is very, very delicious. The fish salad added a lot...but became slightly reminiscent of a gourmet tuna salad sandwich...but a very amazing one. The intensity of the fish salad wanes slightly when stuffed in between the fresh produce and everything bagel, but is still a very well balanced and hearty helping of wonderful. I think next time, I will purchase the fish salad on it's own...for chip dipping....I feel like One-Ton chips would be perfect... I am looking forward to my next visit....to try the other fish combinations on the bagels. I'm getting hungry....

    Everything with Tobiko lime

    Cute little place. With some seating outside and 30min parking in the front. There is a cool vibe with the open baskets of bagels and the grab your own drinks. There's also nitro drinks on tap and a serve your own water stand. You can grab some cream cheese smears to go too......9.95 for a half pound. Everything looks so appetizing. Be aware there is no bathroom though....if you decide to sit and chow down on your freshly toasted bagel. We tried the Asiago with the lox cream cheese and the everything with the tobiko lime. It was good. Definitely a unique flavor. It seems sweet - which I'm not sure I understood. The everything bagel had barely any topping but the flavor from the cream cheese carried it. They are not shy with the schmear! The ladies working were "cool" - almost like they were trying to not look annoyed to be taking your order or making your food. I'm giving it a pass as maybe I'm just an old lady who was hangry...so I'll interpret better next time. We will be back the next time a bagel or cream cheese craving hits.

    The Bri ($17.95) on an everything bagel.

    Since we had an amazing locally made bagel recently, we wanted to try another bagel shop. Luckily it wasn't far from where we currently were, as we moseyed on over just around the corner to find Fin's Bagels. Another cute little shop in Kapahulu! We were super lucky to grab one of the three parking stalls directly in front of the shop. I noted that there is a 30 minute limit to park there. They were quite busy with a decent line out the door! They had some specials posted on a board in the front which we inspected while waiting to make our order. When we got to the front we asked the cashier about the pricing for the specials and decided to try: The Bri Bagel ($17.95 on an everything bagel) Pumpkin w/cream cheese ($7.95) Blueberry bagel ($3.25) Asiago cheese bagel ($3.25) 4 oz. plain cream cheese on the side ($3.70) There were many orders ahead of ours so we figured it would be a while. There is a small outdoor seating area between the parking stalls and building so we grabbed a table and chatted while waiting. As we waited, we observed another couple eating a bagel that looked yummy too... found out it was the Avocado Bagel, which was the other special listed. They were eating it open faced, so not sure if they ordered it a particular way or not, but it was the perfect size to share as it was loaded. Our order was ready and one of the workers brought it to us nicely packed in a to-go bag. Surprisingly, it took less than 15 minutes from ordering to hand off, which is pretty impressive. Our bagel was loaded as well, but cut in half down the middle. The dill really bumped up the rich flavors of this savory bagel. Super yummy and filling! The pumpkin bagel was toasted and served with a generous slab of cream cheese.. I love pumpkin and it hit the spot.

    "Can we get bagels this Saturday?" asked my "I lived in NYC for three years" partner. Yes, dear, we can. After attending the Yelp Elite event at Finn's Bagel downtown, my partner and I went down to their original Kapahulu location as the Downtown location isn't open on weekends. The bagel shop, which imports frozen dough made in NY, then bakes the dough fresh in-house, tends to slather on a wildly unhealthy amounts of cream cheese just like NYC. Finn offers several types of bagels from the marketing friendly rainbow, everything, and Asiago, among others. We went for the Finn's Bagel sandwich on an everything bagel, with salmon, tomato, onion, cucumber, dill, local microgreens and roasted garlic cream cheese on the side. We also got an Asiago bagel and then used some of the garlic cream cheese from the Finn's bagel. This is just too much cream cheese for one bagel, or two, but maybe just enough for three. Being smart, we brought a small cooler with ice packs to keep the extra cream cheese temperature safe to take home. The Finn's bagel with salmon was delightful with the right chew, flavor balance and size. While the fish is still not as good as Russ and Daughters in Lower Manhattan, you also don't need to fly to NYC and this bagel sandwich scratches that itch without a ten-hour plane ride. The Asiago bagel was decent, but I think I may have overhyped it in my head. Decent amount of cheese, but a bit greasier than I expected. Good balance of chew to crisp exterior. It played well with the extra roasted garlic cream cheese. The cute little shop has a few outside tables along with serve yourself ice water. Staff are polite and efficient. I'm genuinely impressed that they found a place with even worse parking than downtown, but if you're lucky, you can grab one of their few dedicated parking stalls.

    Cinnamon raisin bagel with seasonal fruit cream cheese (cranberry, blood orange, rosemary)
    Jasmine J.

    I've had Fin's twice in the past week because of a craving for bagels and Tali's Bagels in town has the strangest hours and is never open when I need it to be. First time at Fin's and I was definitely impressed by their Kiawe Smoked Brisket bagel sandwich. Loved the Asiago bagel (thankful that the everything bagel was sold out and I got this instead) which is their egg bagel with cheese on top. It was so so so good with the brisket and veggies..I kind of thought the bagel was lacking because there was no schmear included (or any type of sauce) which I think it needed..but without the cream cheese or sauce, it felt like a lighter, healthy sandwich. Still...I think I would have preferred the option to include cream cheese for free since the price points are already so so high for the portion size. I also got a sweet bagel option - sadly the blueberry was sold out so I opted for their cinnamon raisin. They definitely lack sweet cream cheese options (only two to choose from). They have a regular menu item - banana caramel (not partial to banana) and a seasonal fruit flavor (this season was a cranberry, blood orange rosemary flavor). This combo I tried on a Monday was not my favorite. I thought the cream cheese was too sweet, and weirdly tart. It was overwhelming and I opted to scrape off some of the cream cheese. Couldn't finish even a quarter of it. I had the same seasonal fruit flavor cream cheese the next day (lol!) on a blueberry bagel this time. Maybe I had a bad batch on Monday because the Tuesday batch was so so much better! I actually saw cranberry and blood orange bits dotted generously in the schmear which gave good texture and the notes of each fruit came through wonderfully. Im glad I didn't toast the blueberry bagel bc the schmear stayed nice and thick and not sludgy like the day before. However, unlike Monday with the nice and impressive brisket bagel, I decided to try a Fin's Bagel specialty with one of their cured fishes. Opted for the pastrami style Mahi Mahi fish on a fin's everything bagel. Also got their limu and tobiko cream cheese. I was very unhappy with this savory bagel option. The fish was incredibly unpalatable. Slimey, fishy and just terrible, ESPECIALLY with the tobiko and limu cream cheese. My friend and I had to pick out every piece of fish and tossed it. I was okay with the bagel sandwich thereafter. The tobiko limu was not that great to be honest but at least it was edible! I was also quietly embarrassed because I raved to my friend about the epic brisket bagel I had the day before from this place! Ughh...I think the concept of a fish cured in-house like an Ono Lox or an Ahi Prosciutto is fun, but definitely not executed successfully, At All!! It is uncomfortably hot inside the shop and seating is limited outside, so plan to take your bagels to-go normally. Only 3 tight parking spaces in front of the shop. Street parking is also difficult which is a shame otherwise I'd come here more often. Price points are high!!!

    Fin's Bagels earns a weak 4 stars, mostly on price. I came to check out Fin's after a surf, and got the Fin's mahi on an everything bagel. After tax and tip it was over $20 for a bagel with some fish. That number sets expectations, and the sandwich didn't quite clear them The best part is that they seem to care about the fundamentals. The bagels are NY-style, and the shop explicitly leans into that. They also cure their own fish, and you can see it in the shop when you walk in. That kind of visible process reads as confidence, not decoration. The everything bagel held up well to the filling and didn't feel like an afterthought The space is chill, well kept, and trendy without being loud about it. Service was nice and straightforward, with no friction at the counter. I'd come back, but only when I'm already resigned to paying over $20 for this category of lunch

    Almost a dupe of Einstein Bagels, close but not the same. Still very good and the closest I have found on island. My friend and I shared the Kiawe-Smoked Brisket Bagel and Everything Bagel with Garlic Cream Cheese. The Brisket Bagel was a little dry so we added some of the excess cream cheese from the one bagel and it was BOMB. It should come with Cream Cheese or a sauce that ties it all together. Coffee is okay wish they had more of a selection. Ambiance is super cute.

    New York style bagel spot in Kapahulu. Small cafe with 3 parking spots in the front. We luckily went during a perfect time and the lot was empty. Woot! There are about 4 dining tables outside of the restaurant. We phone ordered our bagel sandwiches so it was ready when we got there. Bagel was toasted well, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Ratatouille - this is like a veggie sandwich, simple and lite. Kiawe brisket - my favorite one. The beef brisket really good. Blue Hawaii - on the sweeter side. Blueberry bagel with banana, bacon, and peanut butter. Such an interesting combo I never had. But it was good! Sandwiches and bagel really good. Definitely will be back.

    Fin's bagels is iconic NY style bagels. It is chewy, but not hard. The choices are endless...who sells rainbow bagels?! Fin's bagels of course! What an amazing hit with the kids..and adults if you're like me! The cream cheese options are endless as well and are changing every month! They have local style choices like smoked fish or furikake! I've even had ube! They also have traditional cream cheese and fruit flavored cream cheese like strawberry. Prices are reasonable and they are super easy to work with. Order online for quick pick-ups. Parking is limited, but easy to spot with their giant mural. Hint: they have a brand new location in downtown!!! Go check them out!

    AHHH, Love love love! I mean for its size, compared to a lot of places that make lox bagels in Hawaii this was pretty good! I would definitely recommend this place as your bagel spot. The staff are great and helpful! They were attentive and made my bagel right away. I love that the bagel wasn't too hard and toasted perfectly! This location is small and kind of hard to find. There are also only 3 stalls to park so you are better off looking for street parking or walking from another lot. Lots of options, clean and have about 3-4 tables outside. I will definitely be back!

Found out that there are three locations in Kaka'ako, Downtown, and this one in Kaimuki. It's located at the corner of Waialae and 8th Avenue, across from The Curb and Kaimuki Auto Repair. Only metered parking along Waialae or street parking on the perpendicular streets. Inside was spacious and had an industrial feel with its concrete floor, metal chairs, metal racks, and with actual renovations in process in the rear of the space. Menu is floor level (sorry tall people!). There's a variety of coffee, tea, lemonade, blended drinks, smoothies, sandwiches, salads, its special Aloha Bread, and etc. There's a lot to read! There are multiple choices of bread for sandwiches (special bread shown next to the register. Be sure to check!). Needless to say, I took a long time to decide! The Breakfast Sandwich came with egg, bacon, ham, and American cheese. Chose the croissant, which was the smaller size variety. This was good with a generous amount of egg and bacon. It was a hearty sandwich. The Tuna Sandwich on Everything Bagel was good. Nice crisp on the bagel. A decent simple sandwich with fresh ingredients. I would have preferred more mayo and the canned tuna to have flavor. Regular brewed coffee was very good. Brewed very well with solid coffee flavor. Exactly the flavor I remembered when I first tried it. The star was the Kyoto Style Cold Brew. It was smooth, clean, bright, and strong. The flavor maintained throughout--even with the ice cubes melted in. Overall, a decent experience. The sandwiches were good. Coffee was excellent. Friendly service. Can't wait to come back to try more things and get more Kyoto style cold brew!

Your choice of protein, choice of bagel, also comes with scrambled eggs and cheese. Also decided to try their bialy which is like a bagel, but instead of the hole, it has a filling.

Not my personal fave, but my other half loved it. Overall, the bagels are nice and chewy, not too hard. And the schmears are very tasty/complimentary as well. I can see why they have been voted the best bagels in Hawaii. Keep on doing what you're doing and I'm excited to come back to try the next seasonal flavor!
