    Cheese bagel with regular CC and Onion bagel with vegan chive and garlic CC
    Diana C.

    Their vegan cream cheese is a national treasure. We built a whole outing yesterday around buying some lol. No regrets. Love their vegan scallion cream cheese and wish they shipped it or sold it in stores in little tubs. The service was excellent. She got me 6 2oz little things of it since they didn't have the tubs. I will take it any way I can and this actually helps me with portion sizing so I love this strat. Another thing I love is that their patio is dog friendly. I'm a big fan of anywhere I can eat delicious food allergy free with my dog so I am basically a BB stan for life now. No notes. Highly recommend. Please sell your vegan CC commercially so I can get my fix lol.

    Amazing bagels - I highly recommend the lox bagel. Wouldn't change a single thing about it! Fast and friendly service even though there was quite the line. Modern simple ambiance!

    Sea salt with scallion cream cheese

    Continuing our quest to try all of the bagel spots in the Seattle area, we hit up Backyard Bagel on a quiet Saturday morning. It was early enough that we were able to walk up and order straight away. We shared an everything and sea salt bagel with scallion cream cheese. The everything bagel was warm with great depth of flavor, 5 stars. The sea salt had a good flavor but wasn't warm (not sure if warm for any of the bagels is normal or random) and that brought the review down slightly. Nice ambiance and good seating. It was busier with a bit of a line as we were leaving. Parking was easy but I could see it being a challenge as the day goes on.

    Parking wasn't the easiest, but the bagels made it worth it. I had a salt bagel with plain schmear and the texture was perfect. Soft and springy inside with a nice chew on the outside. I also took three bagels to go, including the jalapeño cheddar weekly special, which ended up being way better than I expected. Service was kind and quick. I'll be back for sure.

    Yummy bagels! Texture wise could have been a bit more chewy, but overall good bagels. Recommend the BLT bagel!

    Everything with lox and red onion

    I've only heard great things about Backyard Bagel, and finally got the chance to venture up to this area of Fremont to try it! I got an everything bagel with lox and red onions. The bagel was served warm and not toasted, but had the most perfect chewy doughy texture. The lox and onions were fresh too and paired really well with the bagel! I will say it was on the smaller size, but the price was reasonable so I didn't have many complaints. I'd definitely come back!

    Seasoning on the everything bagel was okay but lacked salt

    Tried this place again after a year because so many people like but I have no clue why the cream cheese is just way too gritty and the flavor is so off.

    Bagels are sure having a moment in the greater Seattle area with long queues in search of freshness, quality, and variety. Love it when it's a sunny late afternoon. Usually sun starved folks venture out and it's that sweet spot before closing. I happen to visit a nearby bookstore and Backyard Bagel was midway back to my car (4/13/25). I used to live next door to Bagel Oasis in Ravenna. I've tried out Eltana, Zylberschtein's, Rubinstein, Oxbow, Mt. Bagel, Toasted, and now have the opportunity to check out Backyard Bagel. I kept it pretty basic - one plain bagel, halved with a scallion schmear for $5.50. Strictly no toasting available. I decided to dine onsite, look closely at the menu, and featured merch. Service from purchase to preparation was efficient and pleasant. Definitely a major step over grocery store dense bagel weaponry or ginormous meh bagels from Costco. For quality carbs, Backyard Bagel in Fremont is a great option.

    Lox bagel

    Went out of my way to come here to get a lox bagel based off of the reviews and I was impressed. I did come here pretty late considering that they close in the early afternoon. Because of that, I wasn't able to try the Everything bagel. I got sesame instead (and it was last one unfortunately). It was a bit pricey honestly, but very good. Staff wasn't overly friendly or anything, but I'm still glad I came to try it!

    I was violently craving a bagel last night and decided to come here on a whim today! I wasn't sure if I should be expecting a line but I came in the afternoon and there was no wait. Inside is very cute and clean, good amount of seating from their back patio to the front of the store. I came here specifically for the Ballard Lox sandwich ($16) and it did not disappoint!! Got it on their everything bagel, the bagel itself had a good outer crust but still soft and bouncy on the inside. Flavors were spot on, the pickled red onions and cucumbers gave it such a nice freshness. 10/10 would definitely get again I also bought some bulk for home, 3 bagels and an 8oz schmear for $16. I went with another everything bagel, jalapeño cheddar and onion with plain schmear. Excited to try the rest of these!

    Service here is friendly. The space is fairly large, but the actual customer seating space is small. It's a clean and pleasant space. Bagel sandwiches are good. Some unusual combos, but good flavor (not bombshell great, but good). Bagels are some of the best around the region. Top 4, maybe 3 for certain. Not too big and not too small, with a little tear resistance on the outside and fluffyish interior. Two things I didn't like were that the everything mix is very garlic-heavy, and its sesame seeds are just okay; it also has too much salt. On the other hand, the salted doesn't have enough salt. So, odd. Neither is a big deal, and these are still great bagels. Schmears are tasty, and the non-traditional, more creative ones are better than the more traditional flavors. In fact, some of the standard ones are good but not great. And there is no lox schmear. This is one of four or five bagel places in the region that I would drive an hour to get to, especially to carry out a baker's dozen bagels. It's one of the three or four in Seattle proper like that. Good stuff.

    This place is definitely one of the best bagels I've had in the Seattle area!! They have a decent variety of bagel and smear flavors, and the coffee is good but not anything special. Pretty often there's a line outside but it tends to move pretty quick, in the handful of times I've been here I have never waiting more than 20 minutes (but maybe that'll get better now that they opened the new location in Laurelhurst!). Inside is nice with a good amount of seating and cute decor, everyone on the team is always very friendly and busy!

    Crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside- yummy bagels found here!... service is efficient, umbrellas are at the door if you need to stand in line, the place is small with limited indoor seating, highly recommend take it to-go . The ambience is new and bright.

    A good day always starts with a good cup of coffee!…read more On our first morning in Seattle, my daughter and I found this little coffee shop nearby with excellent reviews, and it turned out to be a wonderful start to our day. My daughter ordered the June special, the Fruity Pebbles Cold Foam Cold Brew, while I chose the Brown Sugar Latte. The special drink was beautifully presented, and my daughter loved both its unique flavor and refreshing taste. My latte was made with Stamp Act Coffee, and I really enjoyed its clean, smooth, and naturally rich flavor. You can definitely tell they use high-quality beans. For breakfast, we paired our coffees with a croissant and the pumpkin nutty bread. Both were decent and convenient for a quick breakfast, though the coffee was definitely the highlight of our visit. If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood café with excellent coffee to start your day, this is a great spot to check out.

And a shoutout to the server for toasting my scone. It came out warm, not dry, not too cheesy, just how I like it. Matcha latte w/ almond milk was alright, knowing this can't be compared to what I can get at tea cafes. I love how they make this place green w/ all sorts of indoor plants. Plants do light up the area and mood given that Seattle can be so gloomy around this time. Def coming back if I'm in the area again.

My friend got a black sesame latte and she enjoyed that. I also tried their croissant but that was just ok, I did appreciate that the warmed it up for me! They have a few other pastry options. This spot gets pretty busy! Around 2pm it was a full house. We were able to snag a little table for two. They also have a bathroom in the cafe which was clean! Service was quick and friendly!

Their Vietnamese does coffee tends to run on the sweeter side so I always opt for less sweet. Their matcha is decent. Not as strong and can be a little chalky in my option but gets the job done. The coffee is where they definitly shine. Over the past few months I do feel that the quality of their drinks have been inconsistent. Drinks either have too much/too little ice or are very milky. They will remake your drink if you're not satisfied with it which is a positive. Staff is always friendly and I love that the space is clean and has tall ceilings. It does get pretty loud in there so I wouldn't recommend doing your work or study at the cafe but I do see many people doing it.
