Every time I come here, I try to come during odd hours during the week day so that I can avoid the long weekend lines. It definitely works because I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get my bagels and they always come out fresh and steamy. I've tried their pizza bialys with the scallion schmear and this is pretty good. I've also gotten the everything bagel with the lox schmear and it also is equally delicious. Instead of the texture being chewy and dense, these bagels are more soft and fluffy and they are better tasting when you eat on the spot. There is no seating on the inside however, only some standing space but on a nice day, you can just take the bagel out and sit at the shaded tables around University Village. They do have instructions for reheating the bagels if you take them home but they still don't really test as good as when you eat them fresh. read more

Literally the best bagel I've ever had! One of those places I wish I could gatekeep but it's truly too good to not rave about (hence the hype!!)!!! All their flavors are amazing but I'm a poppy seed bagel lover through and through. My favorite way to eat these is to bring them home, rewarm them slightly and then cut, spread CC (the chili crisp one is to die for) and then EAT. You won't be disappointed. Some people don't love that there's not a place to sit and eat, but I don't mind. The service is excellent! I appreciate the quickness of how they get through the line, and the bagel makes any wait worth it. read more

Have always loved bagels and Hey Bagel delivers! We waited in line on a weekend for about a hour and it was well worth the wait. I wish we could see what's remaining before getting closer but the flavors we were able to get was delicious. The crust was a great crunch in contrast to the soft inside. Love the smear offerings as well. read more

Ready to sell my cat, husband, firstborn, family member to get in line for these bagels again -- yes, they're THAT good. Let me tell you, I was ready to murder my husband for making me wake up at 4:30 am to drive to this spot from Portland at the start of a longer trip but after having the bagels, I literally think these are the best bagels I have ever eaten in my life. We got there roughly around 7:50 am and there was a bit of line forming already (this was a random Thursday btw). Probably about 20 people in front of us? The line started moving pretty quickly once the doors opened but I did have mild panic when I saw people leaving with bags of bagels; luckily we were definitely early enough to not miss out grabbing a couple like we'd planned. The fridge on right as you walk in has the 8 oz cream cheeses so we grabbed our schmear of choice aka spicy scallion. We really tried to be responsible carby adults so we went with the everything bagel, the sesame bagel, and the fresno chili bialy. Our order was still warm when we walked out with it and I can tell you we absolutely demolished these once we got back to our car. The bagels had such a good crisp on the outside with the softest interior. No heavy, dense items here. The schmear was RIDICULOUSLY good and I'd absolutely buy an 8 oz again. We used probably about 1/3rd of the container for our 3 items but then used the rest of it on a giant loaf of sourdough we had at home. Best decision ever. There are drinks if you want to grab a coffee or a matcha but we had other coffee plans so passed. The bagels are incredible, service is super friendly, and you can tell that they really care about the quality of the product that they are serving. Prices are super fair for the taste and goodness, and I love them for having a vegan schmear for my lactose intolerant friends. Try to get here around opening time on a weekday and I guarantee you, you will not leave with any ragrets. (Parking is easy with giant mall parking vibes). read more

Cute little bagel shop that absolutely delivers. They make fresh bagels all day long. They are served whole and you rip them and then dip it in your smear of choice. Such good flavors and so tasteful bagels. There's usually a long line on the weekends but it moves fast. There's outdoor seating at the surrounding mall read more

I went to here my first time a week ago, and it was great! I like all the different types of bagels they have and some great drink options. The prices are decent, the only problem I have is that you get the bagel and they can't toast it and then the cream cheese is in a container and it's not a lot and you have to spread it yourself. I have gone to another bagel shop and for only 1-2$ more you get the bagel cut toasted, and A LOT of cream cheese I would prefer that, but I would say you would have to see for yourself, the drink I got was and iced chai and it was great! Also super fast service for my drink! read more

It's five stars. Been multiple times, very consistent, hot always, delicious pull apart bagels. The service is quick and attentive. It's a little fancy (no slicing, they don't apply cream cheese). It's just excellent. Store is small and there's only the counter window to sit but plenty of covered seating in the courtyard. Some argue it's not a true bagel but a bread roll, either way it's excellent. I tried the bialy last time, hot and tasty but maybe a bit too much cheese and onion for me. Still great. read more

We came here on a Sunday morning at about 9:45 am and the line looked kind of long but only actually took 10-15 to get through. Moves quick since they aren't toasting bagels or anything. We got a few different bagels and schmears to try. Our favorites were the salt bagel and sesame bagel. I felt like the garlic bagel didn't really have much garlic flavor. I liked the spicy scallion cream cheese and the lox cream cheese as well. The shop is small which makes the line look longer than it is but they have some fun merch to look at while you wait and the service is friendly. By the time we left the line was at least double the length as when we first got there so I definitely recommend trying to go early. read more

Thought they served bagel sandwiches but only served bagels with cream cheese. Didn't warm our bagel or give us the option to warm it so it was super hard and tough to chew. Didn't give us a knife for the cream cheese to spread it and didn't cut the bagel open for us. The cream cheese and bagel tasted good but it was so tough to chew. Made my girlfriend upset and sad while we were on our date while she was hungry read more

Their bagels are delicious but their customer service is subpar. 1. Not the friendliest people. No smile, no real greeting. They don't even really listen to your order. 2. I've been there twice and both times, they have messed up my orders. I kept trying to correct my order but they don't listen very well. They charged and gave me bagels that I did not want and then didn't give me the cream cheeses that I wanted even though I asked multiple times. When I told them it was wrong, they didn't do anything to correct it and wanted me to pay for their mistake. read more

This place has been getting a lot of hype and I'd heard that the place has the best bagels you can get in Seattle, so had to give it a try. Firstly, it was a long wait over the weekend to get in. Next up, I tried the garlic and everything bagel with the Scallion schmear. The schmear was great but I felt the everything bagel was way too chewy. I tried the Fresno pepper bialy and this was decent. Overall nice bagels, but I didn't really get the hype, didn't feel my bagels were warm like how everyone says and was way too too chewy for my liking! read more

Came on a weekend. There was a long wait for 30 minutes. We decided to not wait as we were pretty hungry. But then after we finished our lunch and shopping, we decided to see if there was anything left. They had 2 Cheese pizza Bialys. We got that with a raspberry hot honey and spicy chili crunch. Absolutely loved the chili crunch and the Bialys. We demolished it so fast we forgot all about taking photos. The Bialy was soft and pillowy in the middle, and very tomato-ey. I didn't sense any pizza like flavors, but it was still pretty good. The texture was soft and like an artisan bread. The raspberry schmear had a touch of turmeric maybe?!? Interesting flavor but not sure if it fitted my flavor profile. I'd like to try their bagels some day, but waiting in line for 30-40 minutes isn't something I'd like to do. read more

Hey Bagel is soo good that we needed to come back for some hot fresh bagels! Andrew Rubinstein did not disappoint! We waited in line for about 35 minutes on a Sunday morning, but were greeted with bagels hot out of the oven! The Sea Salt bagel was delicious but a bit overwhelming with the salt. The everything bagel is a good balance of sesame seed, poppy seed, onion, garlic and salt. Delicious . The plain bagel is wonderful with its crisp exterior and nice soft interior, the sourdough gives it a nice flavor. A definite stop in Seattle! read more

This was an interesting concept! I'm new to this rip and dip trend but I really liked the bagels and it was enjoyable. I'll probably stick to the regular spread on a bagel but this was cool to try out. I got the cheese bagel and the spicy chili cream cheese. Loved all the flavors and it was super yummy. It was a bit unclear which the bialys were vs the bagels so they ended up charging us all differently but it was fine. Also didn't get the best pic cuz I was so hungry! read more

As someone who doesn't usually like bagels, I was really impressed by Hey Bagel. There was a huge line but it went relatively fast. The staff let us wait to get fresh bagels out of the oven and it was so worth it: each one was so warm and fluffy. The everything bagel was the standout for me, with the perfect balance of seasoning. The garlic bagel was tasty but I personally wished for a stronger garlic punch. The poppy and sea salt bagels were solid, though the saltiness might be too much if eaten often. The caramelized onion and Gruyère bialy was my favorite: the savory onion and cheese combo elevated it so much. Even the scallion smear surprised me, since I don't typically enjoy cream cheese, but the light scallion flavor worked really well. There's no place to eat inside, but there's plenty of seating scattered around the area. Overall, this is a spot that makes you appreciate a well-crafted bagel, even if you're not usually a bagel fan. read more

Hey Bagel - Super fluffy bagels! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here on a weekday morning and there was still about a 20-minute line before we were able to get our bagels. They even ran out of some schmear flavors such as chili oil. The bagels were good but I'm honestly not sure if I'm sophisticated enough to understand the difference between a bad and great bagel. They were a little pricey as well, but I think bagels are just inherently a little more expensive than I thought. They have some beautiful artwork and this area is super nice if you're looking to shop or make a day trip out of it read more

We went on a Saturday morning and there was a line but it went relatively quickly. We loved seeing and smelling the fresh made bagels and bialys. We got a 3 bagels + 8 oz schmear (sea salt, everything, salted poppy with a whole mix schmear). We also got a 2 oz of the biscotti, chocolate & espresso bean schmear. We also ordered a Fresno chili pepper & cheese bialy. We sat at a table outside in UVil to enjoy the freshly made bagels. The sea salt was so surprising and pair very nicely with the lox schmear. The lox schmear was so good The biscotti, chocolate & espresso bean schmear was also unique and we're glad we tried it. The chili pepper on the bialy gave it a nice kick. Overall, it was delicious, worth the wait, and such a treat. However, for $3.25 a bagel, the prices aren't for the faint of heart as our total came out to be just shy of $30 which seems kind of wild. read more

First of all, these aren't New York bagels. But that doesn't mean they aren't good, just different. The whole rip and dip concept is pretty good with how fluffy these bagels are on the inside. The outside is crisp and chewy. I wouldn't really make sandwiches with these because the denseness of traditional bagels is not there. The hype is real and lines are long, even at open. They were out of a lot of schemer flavors. Will have to come back for the schemers and bialys. read more

Yup, the best bagel in the greater Seattle area for sure. Don't need to tear & eat it if you don't want to. Bring it home, slice it, toast it. So good! 10/10. My favorite is the sesame. Worth the hype! Workers kind of rude fyi. read more

The bagels here are so good!! Very flavorful, hot out of the oven and so delicious. They were unfortunately sold out of bialys, but I'll make sure to come earlier next time to try them. They have a variety of cream cheese flavors to choose from, I tried the spicy scallion and chili crisp and both were amazing. I'll definitely be back. read more

The steamy, rip to eat and dip bagels is definitely the draw here. Having come from the East Coast (Philly/NYC), bagel standards are pretty high. This comes up here with a good quality bagel, but I don't know if I'm enough of a bagel connoisseur to wait a long line for it or fully buy into the craze. I love what they're doing though - especially the backstory of its founding/founder. The bagels have great form - a soft, fluffy interior and a chewy exterior. The cream cheese spreads are great, especially the plain and the spicy scallion. The chili crisp one is pretty tame. So far we've tried their bialys, sesame, poppy, and everything - I think their poppy is my favorite of the bunch and the bialys are pretty good. Glad to see the bagel scene taking off in Seattle. read more

We were lucky that there was no line when we arrived. Unfortunately, they were out of a couple of flavors. We ordered 1/2 dozen to go and everything was good. I liked the raspberry curry spread. When we left there was a short line formed. read more

Worth the hype!! Amazing bagels, friendly speedy customer service. The everything bagel came out so warm and fluffy . With the scallion cream cheese, it reminded me of back home (Connecticut) on the east coast. My favorite bagel so far in Seattle. The line went fast and everyone was excited to get their hands on a bagel! I'll be back to try different options especially the bialys read more

First time going and decided to try just the everything bagel without schmear so I could judge purely based on texture/flavor. Note that they don't have a full bagel menu displayed in store - whichever flavors are in the display bins are your only options. The everything bagel was satisfyingly chewy, and there were plenty of little air pockets that seemed indicative of a nice rise. Easily the best-textured bagel I've had in Seattle. Flavor-wise, it held up alright but (don't come at me for this) I feel like Eltana bagels have more flavor in the dough. Overall, I'd come back when the hype has died down and they have bialys in stock. read more

Finally tried Hey bagel in university village. Went midday on Thursday and the line was short. Highlight - the whole lox schmear!! The bagels were warm, had a slight crisp to the outside and were soft and chewy on the inside. I recommend the everything and roasted garlic bagels. Would I wait in a crazy line for this? No, but this is a solid bagel option in Seattle if you go on a weekday. read more

This place continues to provide amazing service and quality bagels, schmear and coffee DESPITE the heat. Visited a few weeks back and the place was humming, staff were active and engaged. It was hot out, 90 degrees and they remained cheerful and helpful. Witnessed some customers being a bit demanding and the staff never missed a beat. Bagels continue to be the best in town. Vegan schmear with chili crisp and scallion options are amazing. This isn't a sit-down place. It's a grab and go and it lives up to that in a great way. Worth the wait. Go early and walk around. U Village! read more

Fantastic bagels!! Yummy Vegan cream cheez options. The place is so popular the chances of getting hot fresh bagels are very high!! Fast moving line. Great venue. read more

It is THE best... should you wait in line... is it worth it. Yes. It holds its own. The perfect crunch, the warm bread-y middle. It's good! I did just try the plain bagel, which makes me excited to try all the other flavors. No schmear. Just bagel. It is very much a grab and go type of place, the staff are super quick and friendly. Just go. read more

Excellent bounce in the bagel and very fluffy. The bagels were still warm and there was a really good ratio of water, yeast and salt. What stood out to me was how easily the bagel could tear apart. I don't know why this is important to me but it reminds me of a shareable fugasse bread from Bakery Neuvou or a Grand Central Challah bread. It's not the taste I'm comparing but the ease of how easily you can tear. Some bagels in Seattle seem stiff and crunchier. I tried the everything, salt, and garlic. All really good. My only critique is that I like to bite into my bagel with cream cheese. My bagels came with cream cheese on the side and the ratio of cream cheese to my bagel was off. This is why tearing pieces of my bagel and dipping it in the cream cheese worked for me today. The ambiance is very village like and the line was short and I beat the long rush. Service was good and this bagel spot is good. I'm more of an old school corned beef and pastrami bagel kinda location person and this is a good Seattle style bagel. read more

Went on a Sunday morning right when they opened, and the line was already out the door past several businesses. The Kenji Lopez hype is still going strong so I'd recommend waiting for it to die down before checking it out. We tried the everything, garlic, and salted sesame bagels. I wanted to try the blueberry clove, but it wasn't available that day. Same with the chili crisp cream cheese and the honey bunches of cold brew, they were out. We did get the plain and spicy scallion cream cheeses, and the spicy scallion was the standout. The bagels were just okay in my opinion. I'd come back if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way, especially if there's a line. read more

I went in on a Saturday morning around 8:20 and were in the door by 8:55. My boyfriend and I ordered a plain bagel with biscoff schmear and a garlic bagel with spicy scallion schmear. The bagels were delicious and crunchy. The biscoff schmear was okay. While we were in line, we saw people standing while employees were talking and not helping them. However, everyone was super welcoming. It was a pretty small store and not much room to sit! Hopefully as more people try them the lines will calm down and it will be easier to eat in. Definitely would come back once the lines die down. read more

The freshest most delicious bagel I've ever eaten. Even in 33 degrees and a walk to my car, it was still warm in the bag. Service was quick and polite and while they were already missing shmears and bagels and honey bunches 45 minutes into opening this morning, I'm grateful they still had enough for me to sample the brick and mortar delights after being a frequent HB customer during the parking lot pick ups. The sesame seed bagel was fluffy, tore easily than ever before, and the sourdough flavor all made me feel so loved to be eating this bagel and full lox. I also tried the Anaheim pepper and cheese bialy and even though it was barely warm, it was still easy for me to tear and a delicious combination. I will be back for the blueberry clove, the chili crisp, the biscoff chocolate, and honey bunches when they've upped their pars. I didn't even care about the usual UW traffic to get back home. I feel so special that we have Andrew making these perfect pillows in our city--thank you, truly. read more

Not bad, but very overrated I was actually a tiny bit disappointed lol. Just not as airy and fluffy as had been promised, perhaps this was because I got a flavor with cheese on top. I will say the scallion spread was amazinggg and the staff were nice! read more

went in line at 8:20 am and waited an hour. i wonder how early you have to go to be one of the first customers?? by the time we ordered at 9 ish am, all the 8oz schemers were sold out. the plain and salt bagels were sold out as well and we got the last fresno chili pepper & cheese bialy. tried their 3 bagel and 8oz schemer deal for $18.75 (since they ran out of 8oz they give you 4 of the 2oz). i really liked the spicy scallion schemer. also liked how fluffy and soft the fresno chili pepper & cheese bialy was, the garlic bagel was slightly tough to chew and the everything bagel was the most tough (was difficult to eat might've been a burnt batch). however it's nice to see the owner making the bagels and reading their cute website page. just know that the earlier you go the better because by 9 am so many things were sold out. not worth an hour wait if half their items are sold out... read more

Stopped by on a Monday morning as a 1st timer and to my surprise there was a line- it took us about 15-20 min to get inside and they had 4 types of bagels and a chef special of the day called Bialys. The staff was super friendly and helpful and I am a sucker for good Hospitality so instead of buying one bagel I got 3 lol . They have a few options of cream cheese so I tried the chilli crisp, spicy scallion and regular scallion. Took the bagels home and my overall thought is that the bagels are good but nothing I would wait in line for again. Everyone has a different expectation on what a bagel should taste like so I don't want my thoughts to come off as discouraging. My total for 2 bagels, 1 Bialy, 8oz of variety of shmear, and a coffee came out to about $30 including tip. read more

One of the best things I have ever eaten. Also the staff is lovely and it's smells phenomenal in there.

I was so ready to be annoyed at Hey Bagel because they ran out of a bunch of bagel flavors (they were making more but it was going to be another 10 mins) and they didn't have the schmear i wanted in 2oz portions, but they were so good it was worth it. This is my top bagel in Seattle (sorry Mt. Bagel and backyard bagel). I got there a few minutes before 8am on a Tuesday morning, and there were already about 20 people in line. I did expect the line to move a little more quickly since they don't toast or anything, but people were ordering a dozen bagels, so that took a bit more time. I ended up getting sesame and garlic bagels and the scallion and spicy scallion schmear. I was super bummed they ran out of plain and everything since those are the go-tos for me and my partner. Bagels were great! Super fluffy on the inside, still a little warm, and the crust was just right. I hate it when they're too tough, and they're really hard to rip but this crust was great. Spicy scallion schmear was great! I wish they had the chili crunch in 2oz containers but unfortunately they didn't so I didn't get to try it. read more

Went on a Saturday morning and was greeted by an hour long line that wrapped around Eureka. After waiting in line for an hour and a half, we finally got inside and was able to see what the hype was all about! The inside is a little cramped and you have to wait in a long queue with the fridge being on the right side close by the bagel ordering area. We could see the bagels being baked fresh in-house. When we reached the front, some of the flavors were sold out and they only had biscuit schmear left in the fridge. We decided to try 3 of their bagels: cheese and onion, onion everything, and sesame. The bagels were warm and fresh and paired deliciously with the plain schmear (which was the only thing they had left besides the biscuit schmear). The cheese and onion was by far the best since the onion everything bagel was just some white onions tossed on the bagel before being toasted. Overall, pretty solid bagles however I think the higher price and the one hour wait brings my experience down to 4 stars. read more

There's a queue when I arrive. However, the line drops pretty quickly. I got the Bialy and scallion cream cheese. IT WAS AMAZING. The bialy bagel was fresh, chewy, and tastes delicious. They have 2 options for the Bialy (pizza and cheese), and I got the cheese one. Paired with the scallion cream cheese, it was incredible. Definitely want to go back to U Village to get this bagel read more
