I really, really enjoyed my bagel and it was honestly probably one of the best I've ever had! I ordered a jalapeño salt bagel with the roasted jalapeño cream cheese. The bagel was fresh, toasty, and just plain delicious! I loved the cream cheese and the chunks of tangy jalapeños. Knocking one star only because I was disappointed that they didn't have many choices left when I came in. It was well over an hour before closing but it seemed that they were done making new bagels for the morning. Although I enjoyed the bagel I picked, I wish I had other options. Definitely would return to try the other flavors!

so I have only been to the location they have on the PSU campus inside of the Smith building, but I love this place. so nice to have a quick and easy place to swing by and get a hot breakfast, especially as a vegan. The vegan schmear can really get everywhere though, so get napkins! love the jonny applegate on an everything or garlic&herb bagel, just be aware this is a very buttery and salty sandwich!

Great food, great service! I visit Portland for work and having a reliable vegan option from a spit that opens early is everything.

Bowery was a bummer! First: I love that all of their bagels are vegan, even the ones you wouldn't expect to be (I'm looking at you, Parmesan!). Second: they have a great collection of vegan spreads.Here's the first problem: at 7am when I went, I asked the employee if they'd be better toasted or just as they are. She said toasted -- which, not to be a bagel snob, is a red flag because 7am is *when they open* and you'd expect them to be warm and ready. The bagel itself, toasted, was decent. I just don't think it should have to be. I got coffee with it and it was very bad.Second problem: their vegan cream cheese was actually awful. Not sure what all of the positive reviews here were talking about. It's a cashew-based cream cheese that errs on the side of grainy. One cashew protip: soak them first!!! Another one: use a Vitamix! This did NOT meet the mark.Unfortunately there was no seating and there is also no public seating nearby because Portland hates homeless people so please do not expect to have somewhere to sit and enjoy your bagel.

Ordered online, waited the 20+ minutes it said it would take, after the order was CONFIRMED. Showed up, they had no idea who I was and said that happen a lot when ordering on their website!!! How is this a common occurence!From there they agreed to make my order. I absolutely hate cheese and was very clear NO CHEESE. To no surprise, they put cheese on it. Fun to throw away $26 worth of bagel sandwiches.

I got a flavored bagel that was stale, hard and it was extremely thin it didn't even taste like a bagel. I did get the salmon spread which was actually really good. And I got a mocha which was meh. I don't think this is a place to rave about.

I had wanted to try this place for a while. The staff were super friendly, and I appreciated the range of local coffee options they had. The bagel sandwich had really solid flavors. The egg was cooked perfectly, and it all came together quite well. The bagel itself however didn't feel very bagely to me. It was clearly fresh and had some chew but not in a way that made me think of a classic bagel. I do appreciate that my bagel was Everything'd on all sides, a sign of quality topping strategies in my mind.
Husband and I were in Portland for vacation and hubby wanted a bagel. We found Bowery Bagels. It was a short walk from our hotel. Excellent assortment of bagels. He chose the salt bagels and the sesame bagels. He enjoyed those for the next three days- he ordered six bagels to go. They were very tasty.

I stopped in after a track work out Fremont was good I added ? + ? for a better experience. It was a lil spendy for something I could make at my house but it tasted pretty good not a place I’d go every morning for breakfast tho only because of price.

Had a fairly expensive sandwich, it was fine and the pastrami was made fresh but a little disappointing for the price.

The bagel was good. NY style, fresh with plenty of sesame seeds. Staff are a little light on condiments i.e. they don't layer on fillings the way they do in NYC. The regular coffee comes out of a thermos = average.
