“Easily the best bagels in Seattle and the spicy scallion cream cheese is just chef's kiss!

Be prepared for a line out the door. Also this place does not cut/toast/schmear your bagels and there is no place to sit in or nearby.

If you plan on eating the bagels right away get some cutlery!“

“Second bagel and won’t be the last.“

“Went there today for first time to get bagels for the office. We got the rosemary sea salt bagels. What a wonderful blend of flavors on the perfect bagel-crisp on the outside and soft inside. Will be going back to try other flavors!“

“Wonderful experience everything was exceptional and great flavors“

“I give Oxbow 4 stars due to the price. $4.50 for a small slice of pizza, and almost $13 for a loaf of sourdough is tough to want to pay. Unfortunately it seems like the price issue is Seattle wide, which is a shame considering in places like NYC you can get a pizza slice twice the size for half the price. The pizza itself was fine, but the crust was great! Additionally, the sourdough is very good! Staff was friendly and the bakery is clean and spacious.“

“Best bagels I've have since left East Coast. I come once a week and I live in Mukilteo, not a morning walk. Generous portions, great service. It's strange to have my goto place at such a touristy location but I come early enough for lox bagels, swing by three girls bakery and it's a great weekend start.“

“I was there to meet someone and had the best coffee I have had in a long while! Definitely come back again when I am in the area!“

“Been here five times at least and have been waiting to write this review to get a good average of visits in beforehand. The food is really good. The place is really nice. I am picky in terms of my bagels as im from the East coast. And these bagels do hold up. The only issue that I am having is that no matter what my order is never correct. I’m not sure why- I don’t know what to do about it. I put everything in the comments or explain what I want in person when I order. But my bagel is never toasted no matter how I ask. Which in most situations wouldn’t bother me except for the fact this is a $20 bagel. Would love to keep coming back here- but I just don’t want to be disappointed again.

Update:
I have since gone back to this location to try it again and see how it goes. After this last visit I have come to the realization that it seems that we have different tastes and perspectives in regards to what toasted is. Good news- he has been trying to get my order right. It just so happens that for me I like my bagels toasted to browning on both sides while he prefers a lightly toasted setting. I plan to apologize to him the next time I come in. He tried to make it right for me and even upgraded my friends sandwich to a whole from a half. I appreciate all his hard work. Thank you for making my bagels sorry im so picky 😓“

“I had heard that Eltana makes good bagels. Now that I have tried them for myself, I must respectfully disagree. "Good" is a word used to describe, for example, a bagel that you might enjoy having for breakfast. At a stretch, perhaps even a breakfast you would fondly anticipate while thinking about it the night before. These are not "good" bagels. These are dangerous bagels. These are profound bagels. These are fugitive toric avatars from some fragrant and crispy celestial realm. I should have ordered more. - C“

“This place is awesome! There are a million coffee shops in this area, but this one is immediately my new favorite. Great menu, I adore bagel breakfast sandwiches and they have great options; the coffee was great, I haven't tried the smoothies, but I'm excited that they have them. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were super friendly—I couldn't ask for a better experience.“

“Ok, first I would like to say that I love the PNW yet, after living here for 44 years, I miss New York Pizza, Pastrami sandwiches, the Brooklyn Dodgers (ok, that dates me) and bagels. I don’t care if people swear that their very favorite bagels are the best, if they aren’t from Eltana, they are not authentic. Eltana’s bagels are chewy, the right size(not gigantic and merely a circle of bread), well seasoned, boiled in honey water before baking and a throwback to my youth in NY. My Dad worked at a bagel bakery in NY for a short while and brought home the best bagels. Eltana bagels makes me think of those bagels. I am so glad we found you, Eltana. We love your delivery service, too.“

“Pretty hotel,very clean rooms, convenient location.“

“Great breakfast place while strolling around Downtown Seattle“

“The first time I came to this coffee stand, it was by accident. I don’t normally go to Coffee stands too often, but I was just looking for a decent sugar-free option. The girls hook me up with a great drink a few weeks later I decided to have another coffee, heading to an appointment in Bellevue figured I’d look for this place again. I was grateful to figure out where I had gone again. These girls did their job like professionals as if they all owned the joint it’s raining today. One girl saw the rain coming in all over the inside of my door, and offered paper towel towels without being asked these women are tentative, considerate, and kind. Very a few places have people like this anymore. I will go out of my way to get coffee here, hands down.“

“Your Valentine’s Day team was obviously understaffed, with a line that never ended, and they did amazing. Give em all a raise.

I always have a great experience at Blazing Bagels, but this team was running around, making the freshest breakfast sandwiches, and being really nice no matter how busy they were.“

“I would 100% recommend Kelly Cannolis! They delivered our wedding cake and cannolis to Ray's Boathouse, and everything was absolutely flawless. The ordering process was incredibly easy, communication was clear, and delivery was completely seamless—even though I wasn’t there in person. I simply shared the time, location, and onsite contact, and they handled the rest perfectly. And the desserts… wow. Our guests devoured the cannolis (not a single one left!), and our wedding cake was phenomenal. Since we live out of town, we brought the whole cake home as a carry-on, and it held up beautifully. Months later, the slices we froze still taste divine. Thank you, Kelly Cannolis, for adding such a memorable and delicious touch to our wedding day!“

“3.8/5 For a Seattle bagel it was pretty good, the salt bagel seemed to be lacking salt and the scallion cream cheese tasted good but had a weird texture. If I was anywhere but Seattle I’d hate this bagel but it’s not NY/NJ so it’ll do. Would like to try to other flavors since they missed the mark on this one.“

“Solid lox sandwich, but not sure if it's $18 good. Maybe that's just the way of the world at this point. I'm originally from the Northeast (upper right) where good bagels are ubiquitous. I do have to say that these bagels are very good. Pricey, but good. The guy working the window seemed like he might be serving a community service sentence, or perhaps he was just hung over. But I was there for the product, not the service, so I won't ding them for the aloofness. (The person working the donut window next door was lovely and politely pointed me in the right direction, since the bagel window isn't as obvious.) Would I go back? Maybe. But at this price, these bagels seem more like a high end treat than a regular occurrence. Check it out for yourself. I didn't think you'll be disappointed.“

“Ganjah and I drive truck OTR and this is our favorite coffee stop in the United States..Kayla spoils my girl rotten and she makes a great hot coffee EVERYTIME! We look forward to stopping in everytime we come to Tukwilla. We highly recommend. Thank You.☺️“

“I was visiting Seattle for my birthday and literally stopped here every morning. The bagels were delicious, as was my daily latte and my husband’s daily chai latte. Wish there was one of these near where I live!“

“Great service and very friendly staff.“

“If you want a McDonald’s breakfast sandwhich: this isn’t the place! I ordered the bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich and although a little pricey, it was justified. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had period! Even hooked it up with a small dish of hot sauce on the house. Staff was very kind and the seating area was clean. I read a review saying they asked ChatGPT for a bagel spot. It’s a shame people have to rely on AI instead of simply trying places out of curiosity and convenience. Nonetheless 9/10 overall! This spot is killer!“

“We love BB because bagels are good, and the signage and decor is fun. ❤️“

“Finally, the best the city has to offer.“

“The best bagels on the West Coast!!! I drive about 15 miles just to go here.“
