Heard and saw this bagel brand everywhere. So I happened to pass by after lunch, so I went in. The place is cozy and super cute design. The gal is super nice and sweet. The colorful one caught my eye. So I gotta try it. They toasted it. Crispy outside and super soft inside. I walked out and ended up walking back in to get another one..lol. I got cinnamon raisin this time, not in the picture. Definitely will come back for more.

I'm so happy that there is a pretty good bagel shop near me. I got 8 bagels (different) and two tubs of cream cheese that came out to about $35. I was a bit alarmed because it seemed pretty expensive since the bagels are tinier than most bagels I've had around the area. Cream cheese is okay- more whipped. I did enjoy eating the bagels, but def in the pricier side

Bagels were great. The creamcheese was good however the fact that it's more expensive than the bagel is concering. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance was very welcoming and I would recommend just get the free cream-cheese if that's even an option.

I loved the atmosphere! They have crosswords puzzle you can work on and they keep last week's puzzle answers on the wall. They had a high chair & boosters available for kids. And the staff was super friendly and accommodating. My toddler was going through a moment of not liking cream cheese (even though she eats it every day) and just wanting cheese. They were able to give her a little cup of shredded mozzarella for free! (Which was unexpected because we were prepared to pay but so sweet). My toddler loved getting to eat the cheese and I loved that they were able to give her some. The bagels were medium sized and absolutely delicious. They were fresh and fluffy with the perfect bit of crunch in your bite. The cream cheese was whipped and flavorful. I'm not a huge but fan but the honey almond flavor attracted me for some reason and I was not disappointed. The almonds bits were barely noticeable but added a nice texture. And it was so cute how it was plated with an orange slice. I definitely would come back. Great experience.

This place is one of the few bagel places open past 2 PM, so I find myself visiting it pretty frequently. There's always parking around the store, and they are fully stocked with all sorts of bagels. My go-to order here is a half and half plain bagel, with one savory spread and one sweet spread. For savory, definitely try their zaatar scallion spread. For sweet, my absolute favorite is their rotating spread - the orange pistachio and ricotta spread (it is amazing). However, they sometimes rotate that out, so the honey almond is a good backup :-) They are very generous with their spreads, and make sure you're never left with a plain bite. Overall, love this place for an afternoon snack and would recommend everyone to try it out! They have options for breakfast/lunch sandwiches, and even some drinks.

Came here for the first time on a Sunday afternoon to get my bagel fix. These are wood fired, Montreal style bagels. For those unfamiliar, not quite as dense as a New York bagel, and a little more crisp. I had an Everything bagel straight up, unsliced, untoasted, unmodified. I've been to Montreal many times and these are close enough to the real thing that I'm pleased this shop exists in Seattle! The bagel came with a Shakshuka which was also pretty tasty. Clearly made in house with good ingredients. And as a world traveler who loves to eat, I'll say this one isn't quite as good as you'll find in northern Tel Aviv. The spice mix isn't completely right, and theirs is relatively bland. Overall, I'll definitely be back for a bagel, probably not for shakshuka.
