Living in places with great bagels and then coming to Seattle can be a little jarring. But if you live south of the city, you’re in luck because you have great bagels in your back yard. The bialy is the move.

This place is incredibly fire — first authentic egg bagels I’ve seen living in WA. I loved it and will make a point to come back every time im in the area

I'm a local and come all the time. Excellent bagels. Likely the best in Seattle. I've found nothing that compares across the bay area either and only get better bagels in NYC

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 😓

We loved the bagels! Our bagels were filled to the brim with lox. The owner made us feel welcomed. Great place!

Bought a dozen bagels online, but they sold them to someone else before I got there. Got refunded, but still frustrating to make a trip out just for this order, only to walk away with nothing because they found out they could get a higher price from someone else

Edit to add, given context from owner's response: would advise any others trying to prevent food waste to order from one of the several other local bagel bakeries that participate in this service. This location does not feel obligated to honor your purchase if you go through Too Good To Go, and the waste you may be trying to prevent may be offset by the energy waste required to go to the location after they have already sold your purchase

I don’t leave bad reviews, I actually never have. But this place has earned it. I’ve given them four chances. First time I thought to myself, It shouldn’t take 20 minute to make two bagel sandwiches. Second time, same long wait. I was the only person there, struggling with my toddler and a stroller to open the door - guy behind the counter just watches me, doesn’t offer to help; isn’t doing anything else. Third time: ordered 3 bagels with cream cheese and lox, I’ve learned from the first two times so I ordered ahead for pick up. Not only are the bagels not made, but he clearly did not read the order because he gave us one small container of lox, and a side of cream cheese. They were also out of everything bagels, so just “pick out something else” he said - no apologies. Also, have I mentioned this place is overpriced?

Final chance today, my husband went with both kids. Two everything bagels with plain cheese - the guy makes one of them with chive cc. Like, what? Then the coffee is self-serve, which he says after. Dirty mugs are available if you stay and they have to go cups, but no lids and no milk or creamer of any kind which he mentioned only after my husband asked. Why? Final straw - he put the fly zapper that was on the counter BY the bagels, on the to go containers.

This isn’t New York energy, this honestly isn’t even Seattle energy. Go get bagels somewhere else, anywhere else. No bagel is worth whatever this energy is.

I really wanted to like this place ever since it opened, however, just as many others have said: the prices are astronomical, the service is painstakingly slow, and the hygienic practices of the owner are appalling. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on a salt bagel as a pick up order. When I arrived to an empty store, the owner didn’t look up from his phone as he sat behind the counter and greeted me by saying “what’s up” as he continued to look at his phone screen. I told him I was picking up my take away order placed long before I arrived and he responded “oh” and got up to start making it. It appeared he didn’t have any salt bagels, so without saying a word he rifled through a bin of bagels without gloves on, found a plain bagel, held it under the sink, and applied a thick layer of salt to adhere to the top of the wet bagel. He then spent the remainder of the time barehanding a sausage patty into the microwave, heating and reheating an egg in the microwave, and finally assembling the sandwich which he again threw in the microwave one last time for good measure before handing it to me without saying a word. The whole encounter felt unsanitary and profoundly unpleasant for no good reason, and I hope the owner is doing okay because he seemed pretty put out and unfriendly when I showed up for my order.

Yikes. Something is way off about these bagels and their ingredients. Weird bagel flavor, poor veg. Almost composted them, but powered thru due to the price.

Great stop for small batch thoughtfully made bagels and bagel sandwiches. Any Bagel from here I have had was excellent. I have even froze them and rejected and they toasyed back up real nice.

The bagel sandwich toppings of egg and sausage were microwaved and the bagels were very greasy
