“Haley was an absolute pleasure to order from. Great customer service and made us feel not only welcome but carried on a great conversation during the process. Outstanding drinks we received and service. Nice lil set up and we enjoyed the covered deck while waiting and conversing. Highly recommend Slowbomb Coffee!“

“Great Bagel shop! Came here with the family and we all had different things ranging from a blueberry bagel with butter, stock bagel sandwich, a breakfast bagel sandwich and a custom ham and cheese bagel sandwich they were more than willing to make.
It was steady the entire time but between in door and outdoor seating there was plenty of space. Definitely worth a go!“

“My favorite bagel spot in Portland, everything is delicious and the service is always super friendly. The only downside is there's no prepayment option - you can only call in to order, but then you still have to wait in the line to pay, even if your food's already ready. Worth the wait though, and the bagel sandwiches are my favorite of anywhere in the neighborhood and all of PDX!“

“Even though I travel the world touring with "my" artists, this was my first time in Portland, Oregon. Our friends booked us a personal guide (Adam Thorn Smith, highly recommended! ) who showed us around and made Yelp even sent us a message on the day like "wow - you know how to explore all hot spots on one day". So after the Japanese and Rose gardens, we took a first bite here at Henry Higgins, which was very good. I liked the ambiance, and the lady at the checkout was nice - just as you would expect from a place you go to ;-) I prefer places with tableside service - but we loved everything we had - and yes, I would even use the word great for their bagels. I will not understand, though, why my breakfast sandwich with a toasted bagel, cheese, egg, and meat and a small bag of chips was cheaper than my wife's same bagel with cream cheese and egg salad (no chips, no cheese, no meat). I generally also have a problem when places do not offer any service but take my order and make me pick up (= "over the counter-service" only), suggesting to tip the same amount as if I were in a full-service restaurant, particularly when they had charged restaurant prices in the first place ($6 for a coffee, $11 for a regular, toasted bagel with cream cheese and egg salad). Again, we liked the place, even loved the bagels, would come back - but to rate five out of five stars, "surprises" would have to be on the positive rather than negative side.“

“Slowbomb is on my regular rotation because they have great coffee and they know what to do with it. The breakfast sandwich menu makes this place a one stop shop in the morning. You can text your sandwich order in ahead of time to make your stop more efficient as well. Cookies and pup cups too!“

“The only powdered chocolate cream donuts anywhere in town (and I've checked), just the way Winchell's used to make them: absolute perfection! The other donuts are incredible, too, but the powdered with the poof of chocolate icing is my go-to 4 LIFE! When my husband and I journey 25+ miles to a Sesame Donuts and our box of donuts is in our car, I may spontaneously serenade my donuts. They're THAT GOOD! 🎵 "Oooh, chocolate poopers, you are the best donut in the world!" 🎵 😄“

“Love getting breakfast here, my go to is the All Nighter but everything else on the menu is delicious as well, they also have dog bagel treats at checkout in a jar which is nice for dog owners. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, if you haven't tried this place you have to stop by at least once.“

“The bagels were great - exactly what we wanted.... the service, though, was like the girl behind the counter was bothered every time a customer came to the counter.
Another person in the party grabbed a 6 pack of assorted bagels and instead of getting to pick what he wanted in his 6 the *happiest of all customer service workers* handed him a bag with 6 random bagels- 3 of which were plain. When asked why he didn't get to pick the girl pointed and said, "That's a bag of assorted." And promptly turned and walked away.
If you don't have access to Einstein bagels at home (like us) this place will do the trick and get you the fluffy bagels your looking for. If you readily have access to a friendly Einstein bagel joint I advise sticking with that one.“

“Great place, nice ambience. Service was awesome. Appetizers and salad came out quickly. Pizza came out right as we finished then up. Pizza was cooked perfectly and the toppings were generous. It's a bit on the spendy side, but I highly recommend this place. 👍“

“I wish I had a picture of my sandwich I got because it was absolute fire. My friend and I got their Uncle Sal's bagel with lox and everything else. We went extremely early in the morning around 7a-8am and there was nobody in line. The service was fairly quick and there is some nice seating inside. Since we got our food to go we didn't spend very much time there but I will say they do have a decent menu. The plethora of bagels to choose from. The atmosphere was really pleasant from the morning. Great place to have good conversations with people over food and coffee. Highly recommend their Uncle Sal. It was so good 🤤“

“Wow! I am so glad I stopped in here. I have heard from many people this was the place to go! I'm so glad I was finally able to stop in. I really like the atmosphere. A two story coffee shop is a rare find. I like the decor with friendly staff. The coffee is soo good and the avocado toast is delicious! Way to go Big River Coffee! I'm sooo glad to have found you!“

“Fantastic coffee and exceptional service. Glad we stopped by.“
“Wow! Just wow!! I mean, did I say WOW? I went there specially for pumpkin pie. What i got was not just a pumpkin pie, it was a taste of absolute joy. Joy I say! Smooth, creamy, firm, but not too firm, a rich, utterly delicious crust that was more like layers than an actual crust. Moist through and through! When I get back down to Portland metro area again, it'll be my first place to go! You should make it YOUR first place to go to, too!! Simply wonderful!!!“
“Bagel was decent cream cheese is fake it was Newfoundland there was dirt everywhere all you have to do is look up it's completely dirty there's hair and grease everywhere if you look anything above the food line it's completely gross they should be reported to the Health Board the coffee was nasty I drank one sip through to it the bagel was decent but they need to clean and tell people that the cream cheese they're using is not cream cheese this Newfoundland I paid for more cream cheese and they put it heavy in front and then tilted it to where there was less in the middle and back so I did not get what I paid for it overall the experience left me mad for $8“

“I appreciate that they offer several vegan spreads--Cultured Kindness cashew cheese, hummus, peanut butter, strawberry jam, and Tofutti cream cheese. However, I ordered vegan bacon, cheese, and egg on a pumpernickel bagel. Note: Other than the cheddar flavors, the bagels are now vegan.“

“Let me start with the bad and then read the rest for the good review. Basically the main problem is that it is very expensive. $11 for a breakfast sandwich is highly overpriced, especially when comparing that you can go basically down the road to Burger King or to a nearby McDonald's and get three to four sandwiches for that same $11. Not that the quality would be the same, but we're just talking about pricing. It's hard to justify spending $11 for a breakfast sandwich.
But the food was delicious. I got a bagel sandwich and it was the everything bagel which was nice and delicious. A little bit crispy on the outside. Nice and fluffy on the inside. Really the bagel is superb. My friend got the breakfast bowl and it was very appetizing to look at especially he said he enjoyed it too.
Coffee was the same as you'd expect from any local Cafe. I got a 12 oz ice mocha which came out to be about $7 just for that. Again, it's hard to justify those prices, but considering this is a small private owned business and not a chain, it kind of makes sense. I'm not sure if this coffee was truly that much more exceptional than any other fast food place or even like a Starbucks or Dutch Bros which would have been the same price if not cheaper.
As you can see from the videos and the pictures, the atmosphere here is nice and friendly. Lots of places to sit and when we came early morning there was no one else so there was no wait time for anything.
I don't know that I will be returning simply because it was expensive but as far as quality and taste and maybe a very infrequently rare occasion to stop by say once every 6 months it makes it fine.“
