The bagels are good, but the honey almond cream cheese makes them 10 times better. The one problem I have is that it can be a different experience each time, as in the bagels are sometime seem like they were cooked to long. Usually it’s a good experience though.
Last time I went, the bagels were vary good. My parents from California love to go out for bagels and said the cream cheese from here is some of the best they have had.
My ratings on their cream cheeses are as follows:
1. Honey Almond
2. Lemon & Dill
3. Olive & Herb
4. Pomegranate Berry
This place is like a zebra with dark blue stripes instead of black. At a quick glance it is just another bagel shop, but the name is the end of the direct comparison. These bagels are Montréal style so they are smaller in size then what you might expect and are cooked by dipping in honey water vs malt and then wood fired giving a slightly different result. The spreads and sandwiches are flavored and spiced from the Mediterranean and Middle East with zatar chicken sausage or herb and olive cream cheese. Don’t let your first glance fool you because you might miss the rare Montréal style bagel shop or a blue striped zebra.
My favorite bagels in Seattle! The cream cheese flavors are also unique and tasty!! They do use an egg wash on all of the bagels as an FYI
I live nearby so I’ve been here a gazillion times ordering the same thing every👏🏻single👏🏻time👏🏻. It’s that good and I’ve had other spreads as well as other breakfast sandwiches but this is my classic experience here.
Oat milk latte with the lemon feta & dill spread. 🤤
I’d give this place 10 stars if it were an option. Best bagel sandwich ever! I got the trout salad on a sesame bagel as well as the lox on a salt bagel, both were to die for. The vibe inside is awesome with the wood-fired oven and the variety of bagels is nice but not overwhelming. Can’t wait to go back!
Excellent bagels and coffee, lovely warm atmosphere. The schmear is very generous, which I loved, but some in my group found it a little too much.
I used to only like the NY style bagels but damn their Montreal style bagels are really good!! It’s thinner and a bit more airy - not too heavy to finish at once. I ordered salmon lox + plain cream cheese + cucumber on everything bagel. It was a great breakfast!!
Amazing bagels from a community oriented locally owned cafe. Fantastic lattes as well.
Eltana is a super delicious bagel place! I love their bagels every time I go. Whether you need a big breakfast to fill you up for the day or a little help with a hangover, Eltana is my go to. Their lox is always so delicious, though sometimes I wish the gave me a little more.
They have so many smear options too.
Their bagels are a bit pricey for how small they are so be aware.
Also their coffee and orange juice is always very good.
Genuinely a wonderful and beautiful store with great ingredients and ethics. However the cashier seemed unhelpful when ordering. Felt rushed and asked for a wood fire bagel, which wasn't wood fired. 4 stars for easily being the best bagels on the West Coast.
So good! I got a cold brew and they let me pour in how much milk I wanted. The bagels were served in a way I’ve never seen before with the toppings in a plate but I liked it! I want to come back to try the rainbow bagel.
Great coffee, even better bagel! I got a latte and a rainbow bagel with cream cheese. This coffee and bagel spot is comfortable, open and airy. There are so many different options for your bagel combo, and the service was incredibly fast. My bagel was loaded with cream cheese (I tried the honey + almond infused), and it was very filling! A delicious and chewy bagel too. I highly recommend!
We got super lucky and got the freshest everything bagels right out of the oven! They were SO soft on the inside with a crispy, heavily seeded exterior, what a treat. I also got to try their orange turmeric latte, it’s got a well balanced hint of Orange, it’s not sweet but would be lovely that way too if it’s your preference. Also, lox special at ~12$ is excellent, their pickled onions and fresh bagels set them above the rest🧡
I’ve ordered bagels here for years - my kids favorites- and more recently I’ve been enjoying their salads, sandwiches. Always warm polite service. A good vibe place.
I don't care what anyone says or said this is easily one of the best bagel/breakfast/lunch shops in Capitol Hill. It's honest real food and you feel it with every bite that this is family owned 😋. It's clean simple delicious! Oh you must try their saffron chicken sandwich, kid you not one of the best bagel sandwiches I ever had!
Loved the garlic cream cheese on my everything bagel. I ordered it with avocado and halloumi. Halloumi could have been a bit more flavored. I love the crossword puzzles that are available here. Very peaceful to sit here with your bagel , coffee and your puzzle.
