Dirty. They don't take credit cards. At 8:00 am, they didnt even have 2 dozen bagels to go.

It's ridiculous in 2019 to not accept debit/credit cards. Download an app on your phone. There's no excuse.

Good bagels, though I got a chocolate chip bagel here - it was a word combination.

Bagels are nothing to special, seem like basic bagels you buy in bulk at a grocery store sold at a slight markup. Prices are reasonable usually about $2 for a bagel and cream cheese. Unfortunately they are a cash only establishment which seems odd to me in 2018. They have an atm but there is a $3 charge to pull money so that bagel and coffee will turn into a $7-10 breakfast like that. If you don't have cash I wouldn't recommend it. Other wise it's ok if you are in a hurry.

I was looking for a gluten free bagel which they did not have. But they were nice.

They make a very good veggie bagel sandwich! They have always been friendly to me, and have provided quick service. It's a cute little place, sharing the wall with a donut shop. Always easy, accessible parking. (I wanted to like Bagel Sphere, but I think this place has more going for it. Bagel Sphere's service and parking is very inconsistent - I don't want to want wait 20 mins for a bagel.) The only downside is this place closes at 1pm. Often the bagel choices are rather limited by 12:30 or so.

Worst bagel ever.. I went many years ago but ill never forget the bagel that made my jaw sore trying to chew it...

The little kid that took our order was the only good part of this experience. He was incredibly friendly and thorough. The bagels were ok tasting, but were barely toasted The salmon spread barely tasted like salmon - mostly tasted like plain cream cheese. Worst part, I went next door (same owners) to grab a donut. I was just about to take a bite and noticed a dead ant under the glaze. Yuck!!

With simple foods every little detail matters. That is mostly why bagels get people so worked up. The differences among great, good and mediocre are in the little things the baker does or doesn't do. Case in point is this little shop off of River Road, connected to Cal's Donuts. DLW stopped here for a weekend breakfast fix for the two of us. She brought home a selection of bagels and coffee. Even though all of the bagels were nicely fresh, they didn't quite measure up to even the Bagel Sphere, which aren't outstanding themselves. The crust didn't quite crackle like it should, and the interior wasn't quite substantial enough. They were definitely better toasted. Coffee was just okay, where a good breakfast place ought to have at least good coffee, especially in the PNW. I have no special knowledge of their baking methods, but the results speak for themselves. This place will do if it's on your way, but it's not a special trip sort of place.
Cute place, decent bagels but not very friendly. If I chose to spend my money in your establishment I feel a smile is the least you can do. Happy to see me goes a long way.

Worst bagle. My jaw is actually sore from chewing. Fred Meyer bagels are much better. I continued eating because it was about $5 for the sandwich. I came here on a friends recommendation but I'm very dissatisfied.
Adler Smoked Salmon Bagel was tasty.
