Fantastic bagel, just be aware that they are not New York style lol. You will never find a bagel like in the north east outside of the North East because the water is different. But the space is cool, little hole in the wall bagel shop, bagels are good, staff is nice. Massive amount of cream cheese and pretty affordable đjust donât expect New York lol.

Great place to work once you get the hang of things. The people tormenting people while they work either around the neighborhood or thru their electronic devices like the radio in the back and the air compressor needs to go. Other than that it seemed ok. I didnât talk to anyone because of what those people were saying but for the most part they were nice.
The cookies and stuff that were given to me when I first started working there to take home and try were great! I donât do poppy seeds because Iâm really big into recovery but I tried their scone anyway. It was great! Sorry I wasnât a good fit. I hope you get rid of those horrible content creators. They are bad for peoples health, psyche and business.
Keep the back door shut and locked because they said they were coming in and doing things to the dough or taking yeast. I heard that if you make a good batch and introduce a tiny bit of that good batch to the next⊠that even if they take yeast⊠the dough make up will adhere to the build of the proper make up
of the tiny bit of dough you threw in. It could be an old wives tales. Thanks for trying to help me have a job at least for a little bit.
- do your bins
- do all your boards for the day
- and youâll be able to do almost 5 batches in an hour if nothing stops you and no one comes behind you and ruins your machine.
- more if you have helper. I didnât.
- one last thing and Iâll stop adding⊠lift it up and do it⊠donât do it on the table⊠you wonât ever waste anyâŠ
- sorry Iâm not the stand around type. I never have been. Iâm a bust butt and get everything done and go home type. â€ïžâđ©č
The bagels are super chewy and hard. But edible. One thing that really bothers me about this place is the service. They are always so cold and not engaging at all. No thank yous ever and when I say thank you Iâm ignored. Iâm really turned off by the hipster Portland âIâm better than youâ attitude.

Best bagels in Portland. NYC born and raised, and have tried just about all the bagel shops in Portand. Henry Higgins comes closest to the H&H bagels i grew up with on the upper west side.
Many others commented (grumbled) here about their service, and while i don't disagree, i go here for the bagels. Just the bagels. Bakers dozen - let's goooo!

When you're in the mood for breakfast bagels, this is a great neighborhood spot. They have some benches outside and some seating inside. I go for the bacon egg and cheese bagel.

I loved the bagel. It was heavenly. I ordered turkey sandwich and the plain butter one. But is this pickle molded or am I just not educated..?

I ordered my bagel and smear at 9:23âŠ.at 9:50 when I asked where my bagel was (bc it shouldnât take this long) the blonde girl said âoh they mustâve thrown the ticket away bc your name is just a letterâ and then just stood there. Made no attempt to rush to make the sandwich. She actually stood at the table in the middle of the kitchen and just talked with the curled haired girl as the âcookâ was busting out all the orders. No one made any rush the fix their mistakes. Honestly the lack of customer service is appalling

Got random attitude from a staff member â first person to help us was lovely and kind, femme person with black and red hair at the register. I went back to nicely ask a different person (femme with curly blonde and blue hair) if they âwouldnât mind cutting my bagel in halfâ (also, what bagel shop doesnât automatically cut bagels in half?) and they gave me the gen z stare then went âuhhhhhhâŠ.I guessâ, cut it and basically tossed it back on the counter, didnât look at me or say anything. The store was not busy at all, they were just rude. Havenât had someone be so needlessly unpleasant to me for such a simple request in a long time. If you think cutting a bagel in half for someone is a ridiculous request, maybe donât work at a bagel shop? Plus, the bagel I got was mid, hard and dense and dry and poorly rolled.
