The Bagels were amazing. The cream cheese was the best. Very friendly staff. Can’t wait to try the hot sandwiches next.

Pretentious New Yorker here - best bagels you can find in Portland. Even the shop gives off the right vibe. The folks here are wildly kind. Both the breakfast sammies and your class bagel with cream cheese... they've got them on lock.

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.

It’s the bagel that makes the sandwich, and these are great bagels. The service is efficient and friendly. The open face sandwich with chunk smoked salmon, cream cheese, etc is wonderful. We usually share one between ourselves. Seating is usually available inside or outside, or just take it home 🙂

We eat here as employees/managers/owner of our local retail dispensary frequently. The team, the food, the vibes, always amazing. Henry Higgins will always be our breakfast go to. Sausage, Bacon, egg and cheese bagels for the win. We appreciate you guys so much and the Sellwood neighborhood is lucky to have you guys here.

Very nice staff! The prices have increased and the meat portions are smaller and/or thinner. Plus I get that egg prices have gone up, but $2 more per sandwich seems a bit steep. Walmart sells 36 large cage-free eggs for $15.68, which works out to about $0.44 per egg. You probably receive better prices since you buy in bulk. It seems like you’re using the egg issue as a way to boost your profits.

Parking: It's very hard to park close by.
