This comes with very tasty egg, cheese and pastrami served on the bagel of your choice. I generally get a sesame bagel and it comes toasted to perfection every time.

I will be buying a bag next time I am in as it's been growing on me and I'm someone who had previously enjoyed overpriced sugared/syrup coffee's. There is a small seating area indoors and outdoors. Parking is super easy behind the establishment. There are a handful of pastries and goodies to choose from. All made with love. They offer a rewards system, I recommend signing up as I promise you will be back.

I was finally in the area early enough to grab breakfast, and I'm so glad I did--this is easily one of the best spots for an early morning meal on the Westside. I've visited a few times now, and the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast bagel on a Jalapeño Cheddar bagel is fantastic. It's absolutely packed with jalapeños and loaded with cheese--it really hits the spot. The bagel itself is the star of the show: perfectly toasted, dense, and satisfyingly chewy yet soft. The eggs are cooked well, and the bacon is always perfectly crispy. On my second visit, I tried the Garlic and Onion bagel, which was also excellent. I've sampled a variety of their options, including salt, egg, and everything bagels, and every single one has been consistent in quality.I also picked up some bagels to-go for my son. Although he wasn't feeling well enough to eat them, my co-workers were more than happy to enjoy them instead! I'll definitely be heading back soon to grab a fresh batch and some strawberry cream cheese for him to try. I've officially found my new go-to bagel spot on the Westside!

OUTSTANDING bagels!…read more I ended up ordering the lox bagel w/everything, on an Everything bagel. It was incredibly fresh & delicious! It even came with a side pickle & carrots. It was served open-faced, which was a new experience & packaged perfectly for me to enjoy while on the go in the car. I wasn't expecting to pay $19 and it's understandable after appreciating every single bite! I felt pretty content from the sandwich and recall having a very light meal that evening. The team was friendly & efficientcient which always feels good! I appreciated being welcomed in a new establishment. Looking forward to splurging & enjoying next time!

Happy to end the week on a great review!…read more I have to say that normally I go to Pop's, but it's been a while since I've been over this way and I was dismayed to see Pop's was (temporarily) no longer. I saw Alfred's and some juice place I wasn't interested in, but the Yeastie Boys truck made me pause. I did have someone whose opinion I trust say that they enjoyed their food here, so I was willing to take the chance. A nice girl took my order and although she made me wait a moment during, it was because she wanted to confirm that they had a plain bagel left in stock (it was around 11a on a Sunday so I get it). Gladly they did, so she asked if I wanted this toasted (yup) and I added butter on the side. Paid $3.29 by card, and waited a little over five minutes since they had a lot of orders to crank out. While standing there, most of the orders seemed to be for the 'Game Over.' I did see that bacon, avocado, etc. could be added, in addition to hash browns which is something I may consider on a future order. Man, as plain and simple as my order is, this was Really good. Before I order at a new place, I usually go basic and they did this very well. Something about the bagel was delicious on its own, and the fresh butter made everything better. I rate this on par with Layla's which is one of my other current top favorites. This location makes sense when I am over this way, but with how well things went today, I am 100% willing to track other Yeastie Boys Bagel trucks across town to get the same fix I had today. I may even try a variation of Pop's B.A.C. here, and I'm looking forward to it!

I also got an Everything bagel with sausage, bacon, and egg during another visit and this savory option was incredible.

I have been a loyal customer of New York Bagel & Deli for years. Their affordable breakfast combo…read moredeal was tough to beat - $9.80 for a meat/egg/cheese toasted bagel sandwich that comes with a hash brown and a small coffee. Sometimes the assembly was sloppier than other times, sometimes the bagels weren't consistently baked well, but for the most part, it's a bunch of nice friendly guys who make the food really well and they easily got 1-2 visits out of me weekly. Things have slowly been doing downhill for the last year or so. First, there was the temporary egg surcharge that quietly stuck around after the shortage ended. But things have taken a much sharper turn downhill since the longtime owner handed it off to a pair of local "entrepreneurs." These clowns think they've preserved the vibe of the place but they have done a LOT of brand damage in a very short amount of time and it turned me off big-time. Straight away there was an across-the-board price increase in addition to the preserved egg shortage surcharge. My $9.80 breakfast combo has almost doubled in price to just under $17. That is no longer a good deal; it's the same unaffordable ripoff that every other place has had to do. But the real vibe killer has been the shift around the new owner's prerogatives. One of the new owners claims to be a professional designer, but one of the first things she did was slap a tacky AI generated slop logo all over every square inch of the place. That alone is enough to make me say goodbye. They also claim to be bakers by specialty, but all the bakery goods are dry and bland now - much worse than they used to be. The tackiest decision has been to replace things that weren't broken - the signage - with shittily formatted, constantly slideshowing digital layouts with bad line breaks; believe me when I say the whole thing is a formatting nightmare. If you're a designer, is this your best work? Is this how you attract clients? Because the UX is dogshit and I would prefer you just print a new laminated sign. The main agenda of that though is to play a 3 minute loop on repeat pushing the "baker"'s recipe book. NYBD has always had a lot of weird stuff that gets introduced for a bit and then cycled out, just based on the owner having relationships with other folks or whatever. Someone's hot sauce, maybe a church pamphlet, stuff like that. But the heavy-handed agenda shift towards the brand of this entrepreneurial couple WITH BAD TASTE is blocking out the sun. Combine that with the prices going up 200% and I'm out. I love the boys that work there but unfortunately they're not gonna be seeing me anymore. I'm actively looking for a replacement - if anyone has a local bagel haunt they like to get their breakfast at, please let me know. Thanks!

The line was, indeed, long on a Monday morning! We ordered both the smoked salmon options. I appreciate how pretty they look, especially the hand sliced one with red onion and fresh dill gracing the top of the orangey pink-colored smoked salmon like delicate artwork. We're lucky in Seattle because we aren't short of a wide variety and styles of bagels. They might not look as pretty as Courage Bagels', but I feel the hype is not real. It's good, but I can count on my one hand a number of bagel places that cost less and taste better. Nice try! ;-)

I got my free birthday donut here (sign-up and add your birthday in the app) and I got the Celebration Cake donut. The donut was sweet with a crispy glazed exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. It was also still slightly warm which I liked since it gave me the impression that this was freshly made. It did get a bit too sweet for me towards finishing the donut, so eating half at a time is honestly good enough. This is more of a grab-n-go type of spot, but I think they have some outdoor seating in front of the store. There's also parking which Sidecar can validate. I would highly recommend this chain and it's one of my spots I take visitors to. Also, if you download the app you can get a free drink and donut for your first time :)

The place is super cute and very clean. The staff is fine, nothing to write home about. They really don't see too interested in the customers. But they are okay. Parking is pretty easy. What they do make well is coffee. I love dark black coffee and they have that and more and it is very good. Their prices are high-- I think too high. They do have a decent selection on hand. I would go there for coffee, but I won't bother with their donuts anymore. I really hope they work on making sure all donuts are fresh. Their cornbread is good. I have a friend who wanted to try them so we went back and I still found them stale tasting, but great coffee.
