Bowery Bagels, Portland OR

Delicious bagels, not too tough and definitely fresh. Pretty good coffee as well. Friendly staff. Bit of a wait mid-morning Sunday (10-15 minutes for the entire visit), but worth it if you don't need to be immediately in and out.

Delicious bagels, fast service, and kind employees. I love their sandwiches, and they have a great deal for half off bagels after 12. Can’t be beat!

Excellent bagel! Perfect level of chew, not sugary, good zing of yeast, excellent flavor and level of salt. Just a great bagel. Lox sandwich was also very nice.

Legit bagels in Portland. Lox is soft and subtle and everything bagel has good mix of flavors.

LGBTG+ friendly bagel place. Bagels were good and there was a small counter where we could stand to eat. This is a very small place, and service was good.

I love all the stuff that works there they know me by name and it's great to walk in there with their smiling faces and their bagels are great.

Delicious bagels and sandwiches! The sandwich that they had for Portland Sandwich Week was phenomenal. I don't even like beets and still loved the sandwich, that's how good it is. The bagels are fresh and they aren't skimpy on the shmear. I don't know why people are saying they are expensive. They aren't. A bagel with shmear is only gonna cost you a few bucks. It's actually cheaper to get a freshly made bagel with homemade shmear here than it is to get a lame prepacked one at Starbucks. My only complaint is that there isn't any room to eat inside and there aren't any tables outside either. We ended up eating our food in the car.

Delicious bagels, as good as any other. Had the plan and onion bagels. Warm and tastes fresh. The cream cheese options delicious too.

Special shout out to the 2 staff who were working there- top customer service.

Will visit again.

Great spot for authentic NY style bagels. Heavy on flavor and consistent quality. Good service rounds off a great bagel shop!

Stopped in on my way to passing time. Small place. No wait time. Bagels are good. Price OK. - You should eat your bagel here or at your destination. Walk one block east munching on your good bagel, and your nose will be overwhelmed with the human waste smell.

Shout out to the amazing staff member who helped me out this morning. I was having a really bad morning, came in the middle of having a panic attack and they made me feel very welcomed and taken care of. Sorry I don’t remember your name, and you might not think this was a big deal but it was huge for me; thanks for treating me with kindness while I was having a hard time. PS: the coffee and the bagel sandwich were just what I needed to get myself to a calmer place

The bagels are good, the place is not that nice, they don't have restrooms even though it is a grab and go place, the service is good.

VEGANS STAY AWAY! Was on my way to work event so didn’t want to wait for a sandwich because I knew it would take longer given since it seemed busy when I walked in. Ordered a drip and a pre-made vegan knish thinking it would be less than 5 mins.

Nope. Waited 20 mins and finally asked about it. Got a “so sorry here it is, but it’ll take 20-30 minutes to warm it up. ” I was already 10 minutes late to my work event so I said “you’re fine just give it to me cold”

Took two bites and immediately realized it was NOT vegan.

I called and they apologized and said I could get a bagel made in exchange. When I went back to pick it up they tried to charge me the difference of $3!? I’ve been vegan for 15 years and if you have any kind of strict dietary requirements you know how AWFUL an experience like this is. As a food service worker, I would never ask a customer to pay $3 if I accidentally did something like this.

Smelled like burning bagels inside. Line was long and slow-moving on a weekend morning. Bagels are expensive for the size (i.e. Small), but good quality. Staff were kind despite being so busy. I personally find Henry Higgins bagels adequate for me at a lower price point and less of a wait time. I'll likely only come back here if I'm in the neighborhood.

A quality boiled bagel. Chewy. A lovely store manager who provides welcome service with a kind smile. Nothing fancy, just a nice, honest bagel shop.

I'm eating the Reuben right now and it's incredible. I'm not a huge fan of bagels generally because I have weak teeth and find them difficult to chew, but the everything bagel saturated with pastrami juice is perfect. Fresh and easy to chew. Service was very friendly, preparation was quick, shop felt clean, safe, and welcoming, substantial sandwich for a reasonable price. Will return in the future.

Delicious dark roast coffee, yummy bagels & breakfast sandwiches! Excellent customer service:)
Note: there are no seats available for those wanting to sit. My husband and I were perfectly fine enjoying our breakfast and people watching.
