Market Bagels

Stopped in for a quick bite on my walk to work and got exactly what I needed. The bagel was toasted evenly, and the generous helping of salmon cream cheese was on point. I was extremely satisfied and will definitely go back! Also, open before 8. I saw another review complain about that but I stopped by around 7:15 AM

This place was Awesome =)
Ambience: quaint and very urban.
Food: the Nova Lox Smoked Salmon bagel was really good.
Price: Really reasonable, especially considering it’s proximity to the market.
Service: They were pleasant and helpful.
Overall: 5 (in comparison to other bagel places)

Real deal NYC style bagels, take it from a Brooklyn boy, these are just like back east. Other bagels are good around here but if you know the difference these are the only ones that will satisfy. IMHO

If you like NYC style bagels then this is the place. I was raised in Brooklyn and these bagels satisfy my craving for a traditional New York bagel. Other bagels are good too, but if you want you want the real deal this is the place

Came across Market Bagels while walking around near pikes place market.
Just about everything was closed, Do to it being Christmas day.
Daughter and I decided on bagels for breakfast.
I had a toasted poppy seed bagel with cream cheese and lox.
Coming from New York I got spoiled as it is very rare that you find good bagels of any descent quality outside of New York.
With that said Market bagels were among the best bagels I have had anywhere, Including New York.
Fast and friendly service.
small store but had descent amount of seating.
If you are looking for really good bagels, Then this is the place too go.

I «had» a plain bagel with eggs in it, it was terrible. The texture of the scrambled eggs was abnormal; It can be compared to the texture of cooked cabbage.
I had two bites then threw it away because it was really not edible.

Summary:
Small bagels, but decent price. Would go back if it was convenient.
Food:
Had the tuna salad on everything and the BLT on onion. BLT was disappointing to be honest. The tuna salad saved it though as it was quite tasty. Small bagels (despite their advertising posted on the window)
Service:
Very friendly man at the counter. Hard to understand but otherwise good.
Value:
Reasonable deals for a small lunch. If you need larger portions though, it won’t suffice.
Location:
Convenient if you’re out walking about, but not so as a destination point. Inside was orderly and clean.
Comments:
Check out the baked bread bears (display only).

Umm. Let’s go back a little. They don’t open until 8 am. Strange but true. We had gotten up early to hit the Original Starbucks in the Public Market, and wanted some bagel to go with the coffee. A small grouchy Asian woman pulls up in a car and unloads many bags of something. We asked what time she opened and she yelled something at us several times. We found it mildly amusing. Obviously the customer service will be interesting. And obviously these bagels are not THAT authentic. But now we were hooked. I wanted to see just how badly we would be treated inside, after being yelled at on the curb before we even spent our money. Being from NY/​NJ, finding an «authentic» NY Style bagel was tempting. But it was a dream not to be had. The bagels were «eh». And her hubby was more than happy to serve us with a smile. I felt kinda ripped off when he appeared at the counter and we didn’t get to be berated again for asking a question. The veggie spread was so-​so. It was breakfast. They will do fine because that is one sweet location.

Are the bagels comparable to NYC? What bagel is? This spot will satisfy if you have a bagel craving and while they aren’t going to compete with the masters of NYC they don’t have to? Because they’re not in New York. So for those of you looking for a bagel fix this will do it. Had the smoked turkey on garlic. Yum.

Please do not advertise yourselves as Authentic New York style bagels. I just moved here from NYC and these do not even come close. I know my bagels and I would barely even consider these bagels. I had an everything bagel with cream cheese and my girlfriend had a wheat bagel with cream cheese. Mine was about the size of a Thomas’ or Lender’s bagel and tasted similar to sourdough and was not chewy at all. My girlfriend’s was so small, it looked like a mini bagel. They were kinda hard, which makes me think they aren’t fresh. I don’t know if they even boil them. The coffee was pretty mediocre at best. I should have known better, but I had my hopes up that this would be close to a NYC bagel. Do not be fooled. I would have given it 2 or maybe even 3 stars had they not advertised it as a New York bagel.

Got the bagel with lox on sesame and the egg sandwich with bacon on wheat. The food tasted good, the lox particularly flavorful and the bagel was no stand out but was good enough. Problem was, they made it into a sandwich rather than open faced as God intended, so I only got half the lox I paid for and I feel ripped off.

We had good service and tasty bagel breakfast. I would recommend it and for breakfast or lunch. We were there in between and got really fast service. The food was good, quality bagels and made into tasty sandwiches.

I love this place I have been coming here for almost 2 years! They have my order down! I live the French toast bagel !

I was in Seattle for the day and wanted to try Biscuit Bitch but it was packed and I wanted to sit down. Settled on Market Bagel. Plenty of seating. Fast friendly service. Food was very good. Only down side was they did not have decaf coffee.

Stopped by for a quick to-​go bagel. They have such a wide selection of bagels and cream cheese that its really hard to make a choice. I finally ordered a pesto bagel with sundried tomato cream cheese and it was every bit as delicious as I had expected — a soft bagel topped with liberal amounts of cream cheese. Loved their décor and enjoyed the efficient service, even though it was a fairly busy Sunday mid-​morning. Waiting to go back to try the rest of their selection

The bagels were good, but the service was terrible. I’ve only been here once, so maybe I should try again. I don’t think I will though, as there are are other places nearby that sell bagels just as good or better.
I went in wanting to buy 12 bagels To bring to my coworkers. First, I ordered one asiago cheese bagel for myself. Thy charge extra for that one, btw, which makes sense but is kinda unusual. I proceeded to ask about buying a couple bags if day old bagels. The lady behind the counter to me that they do have day ok bagels for sale. I told her I want 12. She looked at her line of about 5 people waiting and said «can we talk about that later. I have people waiting. I can talk about this with you after I take care of them»
I was shocked and left. I had just waited inline while she helped some one else buy a large order of bagels (the order took extra long because they kept making mistakes). Now she wants me to wait in line again. Why is time any less important than another customers?

I ordered the everything bagel with smoked salmon cream cheese. This is my go to order that I always get in order to compare to NYC. The bagel itself was pretty damn good, but the cream cheese was just mediocre. My rating for this place is more of a 3.5 than a 3, but I tend to round down. Also, the bagels are not as big as their sign make them seem to be.

I had a plain bagel w/​tuna salad and it was good — not mind blowingly awesome but satisfactory. My husband ate a plain bagel with cream cheese and lox and was also happy with his order.
The décor is peculiar but the location is great and it has a big storefront window w/​a bar to eat at which is great for people watching! I didn’t think that the bagels were unusually large as their advertisement suggests but they weren’t undersized…
It’s a cheap bagel place that delivers on giving you a good tasting bagel for little money. Take it or leave it.

Nothing about this place works.
I ordered an egg and cheese bagel. It took 20 minutes. I was not the only annoyed patron. Let’s start with that.
Here are all the ways that I spotted that could speed up service:
1) Get a bagel slicer. I saw the woman slicing bagels throw out at least three bagels because of a poor slice, which also means she spent time slicing at least three bagels unnecessarily.
2) Move the bagels out from in front of the person taking orders. Every time someone had to grab a bagel (which is, you know, like every order), the order taker had to move.
2b) Alternatively, have the person taking orders pass the bagels to the assemblers along with the order, since they write the order on the parchment paper in which the sandwich is wrapped.
3) If you take people’s names, use them to call out orders. I saw at least five orders just sit there with continual repetition of calling out the order because people were listening for their names and the woman shouting the orders was unable to pronounce them. People expect to hear their name, in whatever form, if you ask for it. They do not give their name and expect to hear a hardly sensible version of the order. Therefore, orders got backed up while they tried to get them out of the pick up zone.
4) Have some sort of system to keep orders straight. The number of times I saw one of the order assemblers open every single microwave to check and see whose order was in which was just ridiculous.
5) One person preps bagels, one person preps ingredients, one person assembles and wraps. Have one more person behind the counter to take care of one of these; the constant role switching looked chaotic. I saw bins of things fall (which wasted time trying to pick them all back up) because of the chaos of… putting together bagel orders.
After I finally got my egg and cheese bagel, the egg and cheese squeezed out of the bagel on the first bite, landing on the napkin in the bag, which fused to the cheese making most of my order simply inedible.
What of it I did manage to get was mostly without any sort of good flavor.
I guess at least this place was cheap.

Trying to find a breakfast place that everyone likes can be tricky. My dad doesn’t much care for bagels but he agreed to try this place. The bagel sandwiches were amazing, the bagels are tasty without overwhelming everything else. Good, hot coffee as well. Everyone, including dad agreed this was a great breakfast stop!
