    A very popular place that is open Wed through Saturday. They open at 8:00 and we got there at about 8:20 and there was a line out the door. The line moved pretty quickly and the gal at the counter was very friendly and efficient. We got 5 bagels to go and waited about 10 minutes for our order. The place is packed with people in line and people waiting for their order, but somehow it just adds to the atmosphere of this cute shop. There are a variety of bagels to choose from and you can customize it to your liking. I got the Lox in a Box and it was delicious! Very filling, I don't think I need to eat lunch today. Parking is strictly street parking so gotta be lucky. Highly recommended

    This place is a must stop in Tacoma! I came for the first time while I was visiting a friend who lives near by. The food was delicious, everything we got was great. Their bagels are made fresh every single day and they are only open for as long as it takes to sell out! It has a fun and funky vibe with fun decor and merchandise. Everyone that worked there was so kind and helpful, even though there was a long line they helped me decide what to get and made every customer feel seen and special.

    I see why this spot is so popular! Their bagels are great. Loved the rosemary sea salt bagel. They have fun seasonal flavors weekly. Luckily they had kimchi cream cheese when I went!! They also sell halmoni brand kimchi you can add to your bagel for $1.50. They also have this brown butter miso chocolate chip cookie rn that is amazinggggg. Iced latte was decent! I need to go back asap ! super friendly workers easy street parking aesthetic interior good vibes

    Howdy bagel was good! The line out the door meant they must have something good to try. I'd recommend walking across the street to the coffee shop while you wait to have something to sip on! I wouldn't say it's the best bagel I've ever had, but it was good and satisfied the bagel craving.

    Was finally about to hit this spot, one of the few bagel spots around Northern Washington I haven't checked out. Mostly street parking around here, I never have an issue but I often come in off-hours. Might be tough or need to go a bit farther during rush hours. The vibes here are amazing! Lots of well-curated local pantry goods, merch, cozy indoor seating and extremely warm and friendly service. As for the bagels, they're very OK. Extremely tough outer skin with more chew than I'd like and the interior is fine in terms of flavor and subpar in terms of texture (I want something fluffier or more pillowy inside). I tried a pastrami sandwich there where they add pepperoncinis and it gave it a surprising acidic quality that I liked but probably wouldn't get again. Worth coming for the vibes alone andd to check it out for yourself at least!

    Really good! Bagels are soft, with just the right amount of chew. I was happy to see that they offered a really good variety of made-to-order bagel sandwiches and drinks, which is a step up from all of the popular Seattle spots which are fairly minimal. Both the lox in a box open faced sandwich, and the sausage egg sandwich were delicious and filling. They also sell a lot of craft food products (we picked up a jar of chili crisp), store merch, and fun knick knacks.

    Well done! Bagels were very delicious. Today was my first time here, been trying to get here a while and finally did. It seems like the community knows about Howdy Bagel because it was full of energy and the spirit of tacoma. The guest who was in here gave me recommendations, and even recommendations for other places in the community too. Back to the bagels...... all I need to say is please try this place for yourself! My pics will do you no justice, the flavor profile is absolutely amazing! The lox in a box and the Grit city Lox was my absolute faaaavorite! But all in all, everything I got was amazing. Ambiance was cute! Decor and seating in the middle of the city. Parking lot in the back, if you can't find street parking.

    We finally swung by Howdy Bagel on a Wednesday morning and were able to get inside without much of a line which is rare here! The atmosphere is very cute and I love the ambiance here. We ordered both the sausage and bacon breakfast bagels and both were super delicious! I personally think their rosemary sea salt bagel is the best bagel they offer and would go back to order just that over and over again. The workers were kind and efficient and the food was wonderful. As we waited the shop began to fill up quite quickly so I'd say typically, expect a wait or even a line out the door to get them. I'd say they are the best breakfast bagels/sandwiches you can find in the area!

    Totally worth the Hype! We went on a weekday and there was a short line. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. The bacon egg and cheese hot sandwich was the winner! Definitely coming back for this! Fresh made to order. So scrumptious! There is some seating inside. All the customers are so sweet and willing to share their space. What a wonderful morning we had. Americano was great too. We also took home half a dozen of an assortment of the bagels and a tub of the scallion cream cheese spread. All of the bagels have a wonderful texture to them. I can't describe it properly. My favorite is the Rosemary Sea Salt. Head to Howdy!

    I love Howdy Bagel! I never imagined myself dreaming about bagels... It's such a cute, quirky space, with its decor centered around everything bagels and queerness (get it, "everything bagel" ;) anywho...). My tried and true is their lox in a box with their rosemary sea salt bagel. Their Euro-lox tastes luxuriously rich and buttery - not intensely salty and pairs well with, well... everything they have on it - piquant pickled onions, capers, fresh dill, and fresh lemon dill cream cheese that I always end up taking a small tub home! It's relatively a long wait on the weekends where the line goes out the door and down the block, waiting anywhere from 45 minutes to one hour. But I find myself waiting for their bagel sandwiches time and time again! You truly have my heart Howdy Bagel!

    Food was amazing, worth the wait in line. Very kind and quick! Bagel was so crispy on the outside, lots of chewing. Excited to come back!

    I've had my eye on this spot for months after seeing it all over instagram, and I finally made the trip. Went in on a Saturday and, yes, there was a line, about 20 minutes but totally worth it! I ordered the Lox in a Box and my bf got the Hot to Go, and both were delicious. The bagels are hearty, filling, and they don't skimp on toppings. You really get what you pay for. The shop itself is adorable, cozy vibes and even some ingredients for sale. Staff were friendly, helpful, and kept things moving. Safe to say we'll be back soon to try more of the menu.

    I LOVE BAGELS!!! I am so sad that there are no bagel place like this in Honolulu. This place is super popular and there can be a crowd. When I arrived it was just before lunch time and the line wasn't out the door yet! It was very fast and they have some cool products to look at while you wait. I got the special $13 curried clucker open faced sandwich. It had curried chicken salad with micro greens and pickled grapes. Pickled grapes?!?! so good. I got it on a rosemary salt bagel that was nice crispy and chewy. I would probably like more micro greens but over all it was so yummy.

The staff are very attentive and friendly, the store itself could use some tweaking; more details in a minute. My 9" Veggie was very good, real Deli feel, and two slices of cheese with all the trimmings, but they forgot my tomato slices, which they quickly remedied, and the bread was a bit chewy but still good. Also, when you advertise "avocado" one would expect fresh slices, avocado spread is not a vegetable; I suggest real sliced avocado for the best veggie hoagie, or maybe an option? My husband had the Ruben, he wanted a 9" but also wanted Rye Bread so they said they would make the inside 9" on the 6" Rye, that was nice of them to offer. There was a lot of meat and plenty of dressing, hubby said very tasty,too - however, the meat was cold on the inside and it was a Dark Rye instead of Marble Rye, and the bread slices were very small and thin; suggest getting a larger slice Marble Rye and make it as a 9" sandwich. Drinks and chips are offered at a seperate price. Parking is very limited, and The building needs some work. The eating area is small but okay, the tables were mainly a waiting area for take out, but for those of us who did eat in, the tables were not wiped down once while we were there, and the floor needed a desperate sweep. The wait was a bit long but they were very busy (a very good sign) take out orders are many, and for the most part only 1 person dedicated to making sandwiches. Suggestions: You're busy! Hire more people to make sandwiches and Dedicate someone to the register and taking care of the lobby area, clearing tables, sweeping etc. Honestly, the concept is ideal, and the food is great and can only get better with time. The one thing that I would add for continued success would be a womans ingenuity and touch, just sayin' All in all.... We had great experience. The food was good! And, We will definitely be back.

After that I would only visit sparingly, looking for things that were either limited or out of stock at the closest Whole Foods. As of this year, I've made it a staple spot for my vegan and vegetarian options. I've been told that they have mostly organic and fresh produce, which I'm looking forward to checking out in the near future. On my most recent trip, I connected with their deli and hot bar, which is small but not lacking in options. The salad bar has a very well-seasoned balsamic tofu, which is my favorite. I've also purchased some of their Seitan options in the frozen food area that's decent. Overall, I truly love this place. It comes equipped with a decent-sized deli dining area / small shop complete with WiFi services in the back. There you can hang out, eat, or indulge in friendly conversations. The customers, deli, produce, and cashier clerks all come together to create a uniquely neighborhood, friendly atmosphere.

But then we looked cross the street on 1st, where there used to be an Anthem, and even though it was already 6pm, this sandwich shop was still open and...there was a BINGO game happening. Whaddya know? So we took a peak in and they were not only serving sandwiches but they also had a cooler full of microbrews and kombuchas, beer on tap, wine, and a whole list of cocktails made from prosecco and other non-hard liquors like Amaro. Truly something for everyone. So we gave our order to the sweet human at the counter and took our seats I'm not kidding, my Amaro sour was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while in Tacoma and so were the pretzel sticks. I want my cocktails cold, tart, and refreshing with a little kick of funk or herbs and I want my pretzels salty. You wouldn't think that's such a high bar to clear but you'd be surprised. Sandwich Starr nailed it. Our Zatan sandwich was tasty but even though the bread felt a little stale. Otherwise the decor is kinda '90s coffee house and they've got bingo!
