The bakery and sales area take uo the entire ground floor of an unassuming house in a residential neighborhood. Clean, light and airy atmosphere with plenty of room to work. The metal shelves were superbly organized and packed full of bagels. Easy to get to by bus from downtown. Charming and cheerful staff. I went on a Saturday morning around 1030 and there was only a small line, which moved very quickly. This is not a cafe - you are here to buy bagels and the fixings. Okay, they also sell coffee and tea, muffins, and a yummy chocolate chip cookie. (Had to try one if I'm coming all the way from downtown!) Bagels were baked perfectly. Each one looks as if it was made individually- the level of detail of the flavors, rhe color, the texture. Nice chewy crust with a light interior. They toast up beautifully (at home - no slicing or roasting at the bakery). This is a bagel that says "hey, have another one" rather than the kind which lay in your stomach. I didn't try the spreads, but have absolute confidence that they would be marvelous. Worth every second of the 30-minute bus ride. Heck. Go out of your way to come here!

I have been meaning to try this spot for a long time, and I finally made it here on a Friday…read moremorning. I arrived about an hour after opening, and there were two people ahead of me in line. Street parking was easy. The staff were welcoming and kind. There is no seating, and you will need to take your items to-go. The bagels are not sliced, and you can either rip and dip or slice them at home. I tried the plain, sea salt, sesame, and poppy bagels with scallion cream cheese. The bagels themselves are okay. The plain was my favorite, and the sea salt bagel was too salty for my preference. The chocolate chip cookie was absolutely incredible. It is definitely among the best in Seattle. The cookie had the perfect amount of sweetness, salt, and chocolate. It's definitely worth trying.

Hit and Miss. If…read moreyou try their freshly baked bagels (out of the oven within 30mins) then they are the best - soft, fluffy and flavorful, but if its been there on the shelf for couple of hours, then they are not that great - stretchy and too hard . Infact their staff also plays tricks, - especially one of their girls. Once I asked her if they are getting more of fresh bagels, she said no and gave me the bagels from the shelf. While giving me a bag, a new batch came out from the back, and so then she changed just 2 of the bagels, not all. Since this was my first time, I didn't really think much about this. For next few weeks I again went couple of times , some other people person were on the counter, who was gracious enough to always tell me that yes a new batch is coming up but I might have to wait for 10-15mins. I waited and every-time got warm bagels. After few weeks I again went, and the same first girl was there and I asked her the same question , she again said no, so I insisted if she can go back and check (it was just 9am only), she said it more firmly to me - "I am telling you there is no more fresh bagels coming in". So I took whatever she gave me from the shelf. While walking out , from the window I saw a big tray of fresh bagels came out. But since the line was long, I didn't want to get into the conversation with that girl, so I ignored it. This happened one more time recently as well. So not sure if that one particular girl didn't want to give me fresh ones or maybe she wants older bagels to sell before giving out fresher one, but since this happened 3 times, I am not impressed. I had also bought their bagels once from their pop-up market and it was also not that fresh. By the way, their small cafe has good ambiance if you want to sit there and enjoy their bagels and coffee right there. Whatever I write above, I will still keep coming back since they are my 2nd fav bagel shop in Seattle area.

Seems like a lot of people do take out orders, which is a good idea. I loved the bagel breakfast sandwiches we got but I felt like the outside of the bagels were pretty crunchy. The inside however was soft. You definitely want a crust that can withstand the contents held inside the bagels, so the bagel was perfect for the Frankel that I got. The Frankel has coned beef, eggs, and cheese. I added the chive cream cheese and that was the perfect addition to my sandwich! Delicious. We also got an avocado, egg, and cheese which was a lot lighter than the Frankel.

On my most recent visit, I also tried the black sesame bagel with butter. It was good, but there was a bit more butter than I would have preferred, and the standard toast wasn't quite crispy enough for my liking. That's an easy fix though, and I'll just ask for it toasted a bit longer and less butter next time. I really love the location of this spot and am hoping to check out their other location soon. They share a great outdoor seating area with Sea Wolf Bakers and also have a small amount of indoor seating. There's usually a line on weekday mornings and a longer one on weekends, but it moves surprisingly quickly, so the wait has never felt unreasonable. One thing I especially appreciate is how light these bagels are compared to some other Seattle bagel shops. They have a great chew without feeling overly dense. Service has always been friendly and efficient. I still haven't tried any of their fish sandwiches, but that's next on my list. Until then, I'm perfectly happy sticking with a classic sesame bagel and cream cheese.

Their bagels are fabulous as is their lox. For those, like me, who can unhinge their jaw for an authentic pastrami or corned beef masterpiece. Go with the "Ding sized" sandwich. They'll make a smaller Seattle sized version as well for those who don't treat deli as an indulgence of rye and meat piled high. I wish they'd add kreplach to the menu (sorry Vance. I know my litany is old!) but I keep discovering new deliciousness here even after being a regular for nearly 4 years since my recovery from a life threatening illness, that I recovered from in part due to making regular stops here during my post surgical recovery. Just today I had the blintzes for the first time with their in house made cherry compote and sour cream. Amazing. Keep up the amazing work!!! My recommendation for newbies. Get the pastrami on marbled rye with gribenes and mustard. If you're feeling extra indulgent ask for a schmear of chopped liver, if you're keen on said. You won't regret it!

And pretty much no chicken in it. The "famous hash and eggs" equally underwhelmed. The "hash" mixture seemed to be from yesterday or older, mostly potato, with little corned beef. There was nothing "famous" about it. I tried the fresher corned beef sandwich my friend got and felt the fresh corned beef was quite good - hence the upgrade from 2 to 3 stars here. It's counter service, they bring the food (no numbers for tables makes this a bit of a trial and error) . Coffee is self serve and there is a sign saying refills are $2.75.... how un-American.

Food: (5/5) I've only ever had TOASTED once before but from that visit, I already knew it was going to hit this second time around. We ended up sharing the classic lox on an everything bagel as well as the pesto turkey avocado on a cheddar jalapeño bagel with additional hot honey. The fillings themselves were overwhelmingly fresh and SO generous. I literally had lox spilling out. The bagels were airy with a bouncy chew. Nothing like those dense ones from a generic grocery store. Even though I would love to try every menu item here, it's going to be so hard not to fall back on the two sandwiches we got today. Service: (5/5) Super duper sweet all around. We went on a Sunday morning so the line was decently long, but yay for no issues. We didn't wait too long for our order either.

Came by after getting a delicious slushie from Martin Apple Farms. Inquired about the focaccia and what was in it, the young customer service employee was put off by it and made annoying sighing noises while opening up a binder to read off the ingredients. Look, you are at a farmers market on cap hill, we will ask questions as many people have dietary restrictions, if you can't be bothered, don't work in a front facing customer service role. Plus it's a liability to eat something, get an allergic reaction and connect it to a food vendor! People have been sued for less. We grabbed two salted bagels, an everything bagel and was not impressed. If you are at the Farmers market, go somewhere else to spend your funds because this was disappointing all around and no one needs to deal with customer service who are annoyed by customers. This economy and high inflation isn't for you to waste time here. On Sundays there is a Seawolf bakery booth.
