Good but you have to ask for the bagel to be toasted, I feel like they should ask you at checkout

Quick review- I got everything bagel with herb cream cheese for $5.5. Kinda pricy for basic bagel. The cream cheese was lemony which was different. Not bad just nothing special for me. Don't think I'll go back

was so excited about this place... but idk what happened. Had high hopes, got the smoked cod, but was so disappointed. Found 3 bones in my bagel sandwich!! Would've been quite dangerous and maybe choke if I didn't noticed. Anyways Not worth $16! Hard to eat... not enough fish, and cod skin was hard to chew. Could not finish the whole sandwich. Not sure if I would come back... maybe just for the bagel? I don't know

On the money! As a New Yorker, this is as good as (if not better) as it gets. The smoked fish sandwich was right on, picked onions were a fantastic addition.Note: The people who wrote low reviews here have no idea what a bagel is: crunchy on the outside and chewy but not doughy on the inside. Freaks.

The staff was wonderful and it's a nice cozy shop, I'm so glad my husband saw it while we were walking! My husband had the lox bagel and I had an everything bagel. It was so wonderful we both loved our orders! I hope we are back in Seattle soon so that we can come back here!

I recently visited this establishment, enticed by the prospect of enjoying a good bagel. However, the experience was far from satisfactory. Despite paying $20, including tips, the bagel I received was mediocre at best. Given the quality of the food in comparison to the price, I cannot recommend this place to others.

My bagel was a bit burnt on the edges as well as some of the sesame seeds :( aside from that the lox bagel was alright, it’ll hit the spot if that’s what you’re craving for but I wouldn’t say it was the best.The place had a really nice, laid back ambiance and service was good!

I ordered a bagel sandwich today shortly before they closed for a nice light lunch. At first I was put off about $16 before tax for a bagel, but I told myself that I have to try everything once and the reviews for this place was fantastic. The bagel itself tasted good, but I did find a bone in my salmon and had to spit it out mid chew. The reason I'm giving this place two stairs is because now I am suffering from food poisoning. I only ate the bagel for lunch today and a banana so I just know this is the culprit especially because of the dairy and smoked fish. I'm not sure if it's because it was almost 1 PM and things were sitting out or whatever, but I am not happy about spending nearly $18 for a food-poisoned bagel. Would not come back here nor recommend it to anyone else. There are other bagel spots in the area. Beware!

Went here around 12:45 on a rainy Saturday. Only 1-2 parties in front of me. We got the kipper sandwich and the lox sandwich. Both delicious! The bagels both had a really good chew, and I didn't even mind that they weren't toasted (normally a very big thing for me). I really loved the flavor pairings of both sandwiches, though may lean more towards the lox samdwich--I really liked the roe and the lox flavor & texture over the kipper, and I think the everything bagel had a better chew and density than the poppy seed bagel. I also am a big fan of greens on my sandwich so the pea sprouts on the lox was more my style BUT I love the pickled onions and capers of the kipper, so truly no bad options here. We also got the mocha with skim milk & a triple shot of espresso, and a americano. We liked both and could see us picking them up again if we were swinging by for more bagels. We also picked up two bagels and shmear for tomorrow morning. One plain and the other the black sesame and Aleppo pepper. For shmear, we got the chili and smoked fish. Will post tomorrow about how the hold up overnight! I may be the only one who has done this, but I first waited in the line for sea wolf next door before realizing I was in the wrong place. Don't be like me lol--the entrance with the Manolin sign above it is where you need to go. The atmosphere is really cool and well done. They have both indoor and outdoor dining areas, with the outdoor area having some fire pits. Seems like a nice place to meet up with people to have some bagels!! We had ours to go this time, but we will stay for a bagel when we've got a little more free time. Would recommend!

First off, the inside of this cafe is so adorable! Get some coffee, drinks, and bagels and you can do your work there all day. They have a cute covered patio with a fire pit and plenty of benches outside. Gave the perfect Sunday morning cafe vibes. Veggie bagel: the bagel itself was quite chewy and I didn't think it was anything special. However, the spicy cream cheese was delicious. It had the right amount of spice and flavored the bagel nicely. The pickled carrots and spicy eggplant inside were interesting yet tasty fillings. Overall, I really liked my order Kippered salmon bagel: same opinion on the bagel itself but the salmon was sooo good. I would honestly go back just for the salmon! It was perfect the way it came and recommend trying it:) Chocolate chip cookie: this looked so delicious and we immediately knew we were getting it right when we saw it. Wasn't overly sweet and had a hint of rye in it. The sea salt on top was great but a little overpowering at times. Still an amazing treat to end my meal with!

Food service was very friendly, and but I was disappointed with the bagel sandwich. I ordered the kippered salmon to go and while the bagel itself was decent, there was hardly any salmon. Based on the other pictures of the sandwich, I got much less in mind for some reason. I hope they try to rectify this in someway, especially given the cost of the bagel sandwich.

This bagel changed my life!!So obviously everyone has standards when it comes to bagels. Chewy, doughy bagels with a crispy crunchy crust are exactly what I think of when I think of the perfect bagel. It had eluded me on the West Coast, I hail from the Bay Area and this is better than anything I tried since I visited New York.The chili cream cheese was amazing, the black sesame bagels are so unique and the veggies and fish were super fresh with complementary flavors.Coffee was excellent - dark roast, viscous, chocolate notes. Perfection.
