    Remaining bagels at 1500 (9/26/24)
    Marie B.

    With all the writeups on various newbie bagel biz, you'd think the greater Puget Sound region just discovered this versatile carb canvas. A total bagel OG indie since 1988...36 years!...in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood. I used to live next door and acclimated to that pleasant scent. Well except way back when, seeing rolling bagels on fire. Another anecdote entirely, I digress. I've bought countless bagels for home and for work way back when, preYelp. Totally surprised that I haven't penned an actual post. Well today I stopped in during the last business hour (3pm) and was surprised to see such a surplus in the display case (9/26/24). I ordered a plain bagel ($2.75), toasted, then with an added schmear of cream cheese ($3). As vanilla as it gets. With tax & tip, this was $7.35. Wow. Seriously. I paid up and satiated the need for dunch/linner while on a budget and on the go. Having recently stopped by Toasted in the UDistrict and Eltana on Capitol Hill, I was feeling nostalgic and stopped in at Bagel Oasis. I just can't get over how much bagels, like everything else, has become so pricey.

    This is the top bagel shop in the region at the moment. At the very least, top 3. It's the one store I keep returning to while waiting for a new place to open soon. But it's not consistent. I sat and watched five or six batches of bagels come out of the kitchen one morning, and every batch was cooked to a different degree of brown (even factoring in different flavors). And the edge-to-edge thickness was not consistent in some bagels. Oh, and they crowd the bagels so they up with flat sides like a bad donut. But the flavor is good. And I can fix them at home when reheating in a convection oven. Will definitely be returning.

    I've been coming in a bunch lately after not having visited for years... I'm always so happy! It's usually quite calm inside so the service is fast. I've had the pork sandwich with pikliz, the Beacon Hill (turkey and bacon), and last time the jalapeño cream cheese... All were really good! I'm not sure why they aren't crazy busy all the time, I guess there are a lot of new bagel places in fashion. I love those places too, but Bagel Oasis has stood the test of time and always treats me right.

    $20 for a toasted everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, this sad amount of lox, 12oz drip coffee, and tip. Overpriced and overall just okay

    Original order: they forgot the lox
    Kailey C.

    0/5 for service. When I walked in at 2 30pm on a Thursday, 2 people were making bagels, 0 people greeted me. A woman in line said she'd been waiting over 5 minutes already. One of the bagel orders came out, and the person had to come back to the counter because his bagel was missing lox. After 10 minutes, the woman in front of me was finally able to order (the first time either of the people behind the counter acknowledged her) - she had to wait 10 minutes for 6 bagels and cream cheese to-go!!! I ordered a bagel with lox, and it was only after I got home that I realized that they forgot my lox, too. I returned and they kindly remade my bagel sandwich. However, they only added 1/2 a slice of lox to each side! The standard is at least 3 slices of lox, so you get a nice thick bite. What a waste of both $15 ($20 with tax and tip!) and time.

    This review is exclusively for the pumpernickel bagel! I have been separated from New York, and my beloved pumpernickel bagel with whitefish salad, for nearly nine months now. I have not sought one out here in Seattle because I was skeptical one would meet my standards. Turns out, people here are committed to making VERY discerning lists of the best bagels in town, especially for a place that doesn't have too many options in the first place. Bagel Oasis' bagels are a standout among permanent stores; the creme de la creme, of course, comes from elusive popups like Hey Bagel. The inside is a bit bleak for dining in, but the guy at the counter was very friendly! A single bagel came out to about $3. Because they don't carry whitefish salad, I took the bagel home to assemble. The taste test exceeded expectations: the crust was hard enough that tapping on it sounded like a horse's gallop, but not too tough (one can only assess bagel texture properly when untoasted); the inside was chewy without being dense. An extremely successful bagel quest!

    Delicious food! Weekend afternoons can be pretty busy so food might take longer to come out but…read morestaff is friendly and working hard! They have indoor and outdoor seating and I'm so glad they had a high chair available to use for my little one! I enjoyed their sandwiches, cookie, and sides! Will definitely be back to try their other items soon!

    got the Notorious PIG sandwich and the Buttermilk Biscuit while I was here…read more Starting with the sandwich, there were a ton of things to love about this The very first thing I noticed was how all-time crispy the pork belly was. Interestingly, the meat came in two separate pieces, arranges somewhat like an X or a cross in the middle of the sandwich. This certainly wasn't the eating experience of a typical sandwich with a circular meat patty, and I appreciate the creativity here. The meat was insanely crunchy, oily, and quite plentiful. Each bite felt a bit like you were biting into a crunchy churro, but without the sweetness. I did think the outside of the pork did overpower the inside, though, as I didn't taste the meat or the fat inside much, and due to the amount of breading the pieces ended up being a bit chewy The bun was quite good as well - it was pretty soft, fluffy, and served as a really good bookend to all the ingredients inside. I thought the lettuce and onions also were good. I don't know if I'm a fan of the jelly on the sandwich - but again, I do like the creativity. What did shine here was the aioli, however. In a lot of places, you don't really taste the aioli on a burger - but that flavor was ever-present on this sandwich, and it was really fantastic. The absolute best part of the meal, by far, though, was the biscuit I have to start with how huge this is. This is certainly not the size of a typical Southern-style buttermilk biscuit - rather this biscuit makes no apologies in its effort to stand out from the crowd. Absolutely nobody would mistake this for a traditional biscuit - on the contrary, I think on first glance most people would assume this isn't a biscuit at all. It's shaped more like a massive pastry. I hesitate to say that looks are deceiving, because it does look great, but its taste manages to elevate past that. This was SO good. The edges are baked perfectly - they're oily, crispy, crunchy, and perfectly flaky. All four sides provide an amazing base - like the walls of a fortress that surround the soft, tender interior of the biscuit. You can see the different layers from the outside as well. When it comes to the inside, there was so much to get through but every bite was heavenly. So much credit here goes to the honey butter - which when spread onto the biscuit, raises the taste level of the entire thing. I put so much honey butter on mine that I nearly finished the whole thing. When it came to the jam, it was good, but since it didn't combine great with the honey butter I mostly ended up just using the latter This place was expensive - around 16 dollars for the sandwich and 8 for the biscuit - however, I was quite full at the end

Unfortunately, I didn't really feel any of the 'spices' that they claim to have marinated this in - there was a little bit of flavor but really just tasted like grilled chicken i could make at home. There was no spiciness to the patty at all. It was a bit too cooked too - i thought it could've been more juicy I thought the buns were average - they didn't seem to be toasted well if at all - and didn't really have a crunch like you'd associate with a well toasted bun The onions really came through in the burger - adding a really nice texture, and they combined with the pickles to replace some of the missing flavor from the patty The cheese was above average as well The good thing about the sauce was there was a lot of it. The bad thing is that it really didn't add anything except being slightly sweet and softening up the burger buns a bit. A better sauce would've improved the buns a lot Lastly, the Oreo Shake. I thought this was fantastic - there were clearly a ton of blended oreos in. It wasn't as thick as I would've liked - felt more like a liquid - but you could really feel the oreo flavor with every sip. The best part was the end - when there were just a bunch of half-blended oreos sitting at the bottom and you had to eat them with a spoon because the straw wouldn't suck them up as far as portion size - i was pretty full after eating, but that might be more due to the shake than the burger. Probably a little overpriced. In my opinion, the grilled chicken burgers should be cheaper than the beef ones

Oh, and a vodka lemonade - you can get cocktails delivered via DoorDash! Everything was super good, especially the chili cheese dog. They were really generous with the chili (a full cup of it) and it was delicious. The lemonade is made from scratch and I really enjoyed that, as well - not too sweet. When we did takeout, we each got a sandwich, and we also got a Chicago dog, "chum bucket" w/ tots, and a handful of cocktails. I'd had kind of a bad week and was basically like, I don't even care, let's just get whatever we want even if it's an insane amount of stuff, haha. They do single serving craft cocktails for takeout in little cans, which is pretty cool. And they were SO GOOD (all with very clever nautical-themed names). I think our favorite was the "No Ship Sherlock" seasonal Moscow mule. The Chicago dog was amazing - based on this and my previous chili cheese dog, I can say without hesitation that their hotdogs are 100% 10/10. The "chum bucket" tots were also really good, and again came with a very generous full cup of chili. I hate to say it because everything else was so good, but the sandwiches were pretty disappointing for the price, we both thought. I had a tuna sandwich and my bf had a veggie sandwich. They used fresh, quality ingredients, but both sandwiches were kind of bland, and a lot smaller than we were expecting for $14 apiece. That's the only reason I dropped a star, but aside from that, they are 5 star all the way. So, we would not revisit the sandwiches, but hotdogs and cocktails HELL YES YES YES!! Anything involving the chili is also highly recommended. And although I didn't really go into detail about it, chicken tenders were good, too (there were more in there than what the photo shows) - crispy and well-seasoned, and more than what I was expecting.

You order at the kiosk/tablet, pay, get your order number, go get your drinks, find a table. They will call your name or number when your order is ready. We tried the promo Oyako Sando(egg salad and Chicken Katsu together) sandwich. It's a honker of a sando, messy, hope you like mayo, katsu wasn't as crisp as I liked, bread does get a bit soggy at the end, napkins are your friend. We also tried the regular Pork Katsu Sando. Same here, wasn't as crisp as we thought it would be, pork was ok too, pretty classic sandwich. Made these into combos, which comes with a choice of fries and a drink. You get to choose your seasoning on the fries, we got one Nori and Spice style. Combo comes with a fountain drink, or pay a little extra for a bottled drink. FYI: They go heavy on the seasoning for your fries. You get a choice of dipping sauce, we chose their Katsu sauce and the spicy mayo. Another FYI: Spice fries with spicy mayo gets a little heavy in your mouth with the spice. Don't forget to clear your own table when you are done. Prices are about $20/person if you get a combo. Overall, glad we came by to check it out so we know.
