    Lunch: Turkey and cheese sandwich!
    Bill Z.

    Cool and quaint little cafe! I did the turkey sandwich with chips and a drink. Good stuff! Service was quick and friendly.

    Ham and jalapeño sandwich on a roll.

    Best spur of the moment decision to have lunch here...Decent array of menu options for breakfast or lunch... The generous serving of beet/kale salad was delicious and filling ( and down the hatch before I snapped a photo! A friend and I each split a bagel with cream cheese and a ham/jalapeño sandwich-fresh and so tasty! Prices are very reasonable and the service friendly. Its a fairly quaint and small space but there is outside seating . The kitchen and floors are sparking clean. Lots of foot traffic ... looking for ice cream, espresso, a cider...and enough take out orders worth mentioning! Close to the Farmers Market, and the waterfront. Parking M-F mighr be a challenge but 2 spots are reserved for takeout! You'll love this little cafe!

    Reuben sandwich

    Holy moly. This is one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever eaten. And I'm from New York City. On a quick road trip from Portland to Seattle I was craving a sandwich and this place hit the perfect spot. A must try if you're in the vicinity.

    What you see from Capital Way.

    Key Lime Pie is my go-to from Sidewalk Cafe on Capital Way just south of the Oly Farmer's Market. Tart & zingy with lime zest giving the filling a boost. Not sugary sweet as is the usual direction most places take their KLP. The lime flavor gets front center stage all to itself, which makes theirs an enjoyable diversion from the saccharine overload incurred by usual pieces of KLP. Pie filling is also not the typical light pudding texture. Rather, this is a dense, nearly cheesecake like filling that makes a slice of this zippy goodness a seriously substantial dessert. Buttery graham cracker crust is standard fare in taste & texture. Price with typical tip comes in a hair over a fiver, so in line with key lime pie I've found elsewhere around the country. But those others lacked the heft of Sidewalk Cafe's pie by a fair margin. The gentleman manning the order window is open and friendly. Maybe someday I will get around to trying some of their other menu options. But I won't be betting any of my key lime pie money on it.

    Ordered avacado bagel on everything bagel added bacon.

    Got the Avacado bagel sandwich and I added bacon. (Solid 10) sausage, patty and cheese bagel sandwich added bacon. (Solid 10) both sandwiches were om everything bagel. The soup of the day was split peas and ham soup. I was hesitant because it wasn't my favorite soup but I figured I tried it out and omg this my favorite soup. Veggies were chopped in soup and great pieces of ham in the soup. I rate this soup 10. Clam chowder was pretty good, I rate it 9.5 ..

    Avocado Bagel with egg and bacon

    The best bagel sandwich ever!! Perfect for breakfast and lunch. The service is also so fast and great!

    Salami grander sandwich and a cup of clam chowder :)
    Catalina G.

    Me and a group of friends came from out of town and wanted a good sandwich place and this place hit the spot! I got the salami grinder and a cup of clam chowder. I'd give the sandwich a solid 10/10 and the chowder a 7/10 :) both very good!!

    Everything was delicious. The mix of flavors was amazing. It was an accidental road trip find and oh so worth it.

    B's Bagels is, hands down, one of my favorite places to eat in the Tacoma area…read more I will quite literally drive from Tacoma over the bridge to Gig Harbor, pay the toll, wait in the enormously long line that is almost always at B's, and risk finding out they've sold out just to get one of their bagel sandwiches. And I'll do it again. The bagels are that good. Whether I'm calling it breakfast or lunch depends entirely on the day, but this is one of those places where I already know the trip is worth it before I leave the house. The line can be long and yes, sometimes they sell out. That's the risk you take. Consider it part of the experience. If the line is out the door, get in it. If they still have bagels when you make it to the front, congratulations.

    I was so excited and thankful to finally find a vegan spot with vegan bagels AND vegan cream cheese…read morewhile visiting Gig Harbor. My daughter got a bagel with the vegan avocado schmear which was OK but I was quite disappointed after we left and opened my bag to find a plain bagel with the vegan cream cheese not on it but instead in a small container cold. Sounds silly, but part of the enjoyment of getting a bagel out is that you get a warm bagel and you have vegan cream cheese spread on it, which warms it up a little bit and makes it taste better. It was such a bummer to not have it spread on and even more so because I didn't have a knife to spread it (we were traveling and I didn't know it was on the side so I didn't grab a knife from the place). Would suggest having any vegan spread on the bagel :)

    Súper tastyyyyyy , good bagel , good price Fast service…read more Nice ambiance I will recommend ,

    This is my honest review of this place…read more 1.) I called ahead to order 2 dozen bagels, I was bringing them for a work event. Was told they dont accept orders instead they wanted to honor the guest who wait in line. I said no problem and hopped off the phone, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that doesn't honor people who wait in line, it actually disrespects their time but it's their business model and it works for them. 2.) Since I waited in line, I also got a breakfast sandwich, it tasted good but most certainly not as good as the wait would indicate 3.) Not sure how long I waited in line but afterwards the bagles came out and they were just thrown in a grocery paper bag. I sort of felt like the presentation couldve been aqequate after a $70 bill and what seemed like an 30 min wait. That also didn't come with cream cheese or utensils 4.) Not a family friend restaurant. It has curse words in plain site. I wouldn't want my kids reading that. Alot of other words to use other than an F word. Clearly My #1 gripe with this place is the seemingly unnecessary wait I sort of expect if you're going to make your clients wait atleast let whatever they waited for be worth while. Not from the area so if its not a family friendly area then #4 is not a big deal but from my vantage point, some family might stroll in here with their 2nd or 3rd grader and read that vulgar word. I gave a 2 star instead of 1 because the food did have good flavor. But that was the only positive from my trip

I went with the potato salad and it was super good! The bagel was loaded with flavor and everything tasted fresh. The place itself is really cute, clean, chill vibe, relaxing music. The ladies working were so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. They've got an espresso machine for lattes and coffee, plus they serve cocktails and liquor (bonus points!). Lots of outdoor seating too, perfect if you've got your dog with you. Overall, great food, awesome service, and a nice mix of drinks. Definitely recommend checking it out!

    Overall pretty decent experience. We arrived at around 10:20am on a Sunday, there was no line, but…read moreabout 10 minutes later there was a really big line so I recommend coming before 10:30! Staff was friendly and attentive. The white chocolate mocha was alright, pretty milky and could use a tad more sweetener (although I'm aware this is subjective). The prime rib sandwich was decent. I don't think I would recommend the garlic cheese bagel though. The garlic on the sides got a little burnt which just made the sandwich taste very bitter, and we could hardly taste anything else unfortunately :( . We also got a side of the soup of the day which was the clam chowder. It came out piping hot which I LOVE. We were impressed by how good it was! We will be back to try a different bagel to see if it can redeem the garlic and cheese one. Also saw they have live music and their drink menu looked pretty good, we will have to try coming for that as well.
