Seize The Bagel - Hazel Dell

Stopped in for quick bite after doing some Christmas shopping. I wasn't there until later in the afternoon. Needless to say, the the selection was slim. My favorite is the cobbler bagel. It's infused with various berries I believe. They are amazing!! I had to settle on a Pumpkin Spice bagel with a pumpkin spice cream cheese. It was very good.. not my Cobbler but it was good. My granddaughter had an Everything bagel and she loved it!! What I love about Seize the Bagel is they are consistently amazing. The bagels are as they should be. They have to be chewy on the outside and soft and beautiful on the inside. These were just as I described. Plus they were both big on flavor.. I was a bit disappointed that the vanilla cream cheese had been discontinued. Hopefully they will bring it back!
Parking isn't great but Seize the Bagel is worth the frustration!

Great bagels.

The young girl serving did nit listen, got the order wrong, when I went back inside the manager gave me attitude, did not refund the wrong order. Said oh you can keep that. Made the correct bagel and charged me for it . 40 dollars for 2 bagels a pkt of chips and a bag of bagels 🥯 over priced and so not worth the wait. Will not go there again.

Hot chai was creamier than anticipated which I ended up loving, Asiago toasted with lox was very good. Fasted paced service and very nice staff. They have a large variety more baked goods rather than just bagels.

They would get a high five rating from me but they have discontinued their veggie cream cheese! WHY??? Please bring this delicious creamy goodness back. How can you have so many bagel options but no veggie cream cheese?! Please reconsider!!

I’ve been to all the locations, and this one was unfortunately a little below standard. Lady behind the counter seemed short, and like she didn’t want to be there. Didn’t call my order when it was ready, and did not add extra cream cheese as asked. Just disappointed.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with great morning bagels and a friendly atmosphere — this is not the place.

Let’s break it down. The staff is incredibly rude, especially the older woman behind the counter. She acts as if everyone should already know how things work there, even if it’s your first time visiting.

There’s also no signage to indicate where to order. When you walk in, the counter on the left is serving food, and that’s where the menu is displayed. Naturally, we went there — only to be told by one staff member that orders are taken at the register on the right. Then another employee yelled that we were supposed to order at the counter. Confusing and unnecessary.

When we finally placed our order, we asked for a small handheld menu since the posted one was hard to read from where we were standing. We were told, rather bluntly, that there was only one menu. My friend asked if they had lox, and the older staff member snapped, “It’s on the menu.” I explained again that we couldn’t see the menu clearly, but she didn’t care.

We also asked for all three bagels to be extra toasted. While waiting, I noticed that not a single employee changed their gloves. I politely asked one of the younger girls to please change them after making the lox bagel because I’m severely allergic to it. She sharply replied, “We do.” Yet, I never saw her change them once.

Then came the final disappointment — microwaved bagels. We saw several being reheated that way, and unfortunately, they tasted exactly like it. By the time we got home, our order was a cold, rubbery mess.

All in all, I wouldn’t recommend Seize the Bagel to anyone looking for a good bagel or a pleasant start to their day. The service, the food quality, and the overall experience were all well below expectations.

Seize the bagel has some of the best coffee, bagel sandwiches, and pastries I've ever had. I love the cubano with the cheddar bagel and fall in a cup. So good.

I didn’t get to try the bagel. I waited 21 minutes for it and gave up. Went next door to the donut place.

I wish they had more seating, but very good people and very good food. Love that they have vegan options.

Such an amazing place. They have a huge variety of bagels, fruits and pastries. Everything I have tried has been amazing. I love the Pina Colada seasonal cream cheese. The Marionberry hand pies are better than my grandma made. And if you like sourdough I highly recommend the sourdough bagel. It is super sour and the best sourdough I have ever had

Good spot for a quick business meeting with something to eat. Staff was friendly. There are only a handful of tables but they weren't all full and they gave zero hassle for us sitting with laptops and hanging for an hour.
