Iced matcha latte with whole milk
Kimmy S.

I stumbled across this place while I was on a walk in SE, killing time before a workout class. It was busy and looked cute so I decided to give it a try. I like to think I'm a harsh critic of matcha but this place has made it into my top three favs for matcha. I order with no sweetener so I know what the matcha actually tastes like and was so beyond happy with how good their matcha was!! Will 100% be back.

Waited in a long line and a long while post-ordering for this food and truly it was so so worth it! This has probably rocketed up to the top of my favorite "bagel"/ brunch places in Portland. The flavors are very unique and came together beautifully. I loved the okonomiyaki bialy and the array of cream cheese flavors. We ordered the honey & apricot spread and it went wonderfully with a more savory bialy. Truly excited to come back to try other flavors even though the wait for the food was pretty long.

The space is a little small so that the line can go through the door. We got there around 10:30. It took us a bit to get through the line to order, but we made it in time. The space was colorful and minimalist. We shared the strawberry matcha, classic onion + poppy with plain schmear, and the shaved potatoes + truffle oil with plain schmear. We wanted to try the special schmear, which was green onion, but unfortunately, they had run out. We loved it, it was packed with flavor, savory, and the plain schmear was balanced with it. The strawberry matcha wasn't good and didn't taste like strawberry at all. Wouldn't get the matcha again but would go back for the bialys.

Bialy Bird now has its own brick and mortar spot on Morrison. This former pop up is serving up some unique and delicious bialys (the bagel's cousin). To get here, there is a lot of street parking directly outside the shop and the around the area. Inside, they have a cozy setup with about 6-7 tables for seating. Wifey and I ended up getting a Hojicha Latte and the Okonomiyaki Pastrami & Egg Bialy. All of the staff here are chill and welcoming and we enjoyed every bite. Bialy or bagel? You be the judge!

The hyped pop-up is back with its brick and mortar store! The inside is super cute. A few small tables and some counter spaces but they are very well curated and decorated. We dropped by late afternoon and, sadly, most of their flavor options were gone. A bit disappointing but understandable since they're still getting the hang of things. We ended up just trying their Okonomiyaki Bialy as the Pastrami Sandwich. Despite the unique combo, the flavors worked out super well! You can tell that they use very high quality ingredients. The bialy was well-toasted, eggs were fluffy, and the wagyu pastrami wa suuper tender. We enjoyed it! Definitely a spendy spot for what it is: $15 - $18 per sandwich. A nice occasional treat when you're craving some unique creations!

Wow this was delicious. We got there at 12:30 pm on a Sunday and they only had one kind of Bialy left. So I ordered it lol, the apricot with feta and then made it a breakfast sandwich with lox. Interesting combo, but man did it work. I will be back .

Okonomiyaki Bialy with plan cream cheese
Cynthia L.

Cute modern space for drinks and bialys. Love the creative flavor combos. The okonomiyaki bialy was very flavorful (not overwhelming) and great with just plain cream cheese. Husband loved his HEC on zaatar bialy. Busy on the weekends with a steady line but service still moved along. Now I'll be torn between waiting in line here or at Tabor Bread for my weekend bread pilgrimages.

Amazing AMAZING creative bagels. Each delicious in their own way. Service was fantastic, we were walked through the bagel flavors of the day. You can choose any bagel and make it into any of the sandwich options on the menu. I had the truffle potato bagel as a breakfast sandwich. 10/10 ! There is comfortable indoor seating and some nice seating outside. Great ambiance.

Stopped by this little spot for a breakfast bagel it was pretty good, just a tad messy and the bread was a little tough but it had flavor!

Cacio e Pepe pinwheel
Meagan N.

I'm impressed. It's tough finding a solid bagel in Portland. The flavors of this bagel were so unique and the pastrami was delicious. I just wish there was more of it on the bagel. I wish I had tried another bagel on the menu but opted for the pinwheel. It was just okay. I wish they had heated it up, it was kind of dry. I need to come back and try some of the other bagels. Excited for them to expand!

Tri-tip sandwich
Holly T.

I love me a good bialy! My partner really wanted a bialy sandwich this morning and having just heard about this place, we went for a visit. We looked at the menu beforehand and already had one picked out to share. But when we got there, they had a special: Tri-tip!! Oh my goodness. We had to change our minds. It sounded delicious. You also get to pick what bialy you want it on. We got the cacio de pepo (I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong, sorry.). It took about 10 minutes, maybe less, but either way it wasn't long. It was amaaaazing! I really wish I bought my own. Don't underestimate these sandwiches; get your own--they're great. And everyone was really friendly too. Loved it!

Check out this menu

Fantastic Bialy A real coffee adventure Amazing owner and crew This is my second annual pilgrimage to Bialy Bird. Somehow they just keep on getting better and better. These Bialys crush anything you could find in NYC In a true Portland tradition the coffee selection is amazing and each individual brew a true flavor adventure. I am so excited to see they are expanding with indoor seating. I'll be back!

Bernstein's Bagels is more than an eatery - it's a community. We liked the food and the experience…read moreso much that we came here two days in a row for breakfast. Bernstein's is a popular spot - having arrived at the opening time we felt lucky to secure a table. Here is what we ordered: bagel and lox, garden bagel and raisin smear bagel; as well as coffee. Everything was so good that even the picky eater amongst us had no complaints. We also enjoyed conversing with other patrons at Bernstein's. Having quickly deciphered that we are visiting from out of town (probably by overhearing us talk - the tables are very close together) they immediately made us feel welcome and recommended places to visit around Portland. We usually don't talk to strangers, so being pulled into a friendly conversation was a different kind of experience for us, but the one that we enjoyed with gratitude. Overall, this a great breakfast spot!

We stopped at Bernstein's Bagels while on our way to the Falls because we were craving bagels--and…read morewe're big bagel people. We happened to find this spot along the way, and the bagels looked really promising, so we had to stop. We grabbed some plain bagels, which were tasty and good flavor. I also ordered a bagel with egg, but that one kind of threw me off. I'm not a fan of spongy eggs--they always feel a little fake to me . That said, I was hungry, so I still ate it. Overall, it was a good stop and definitely satisfied our bagel craving before hitting the road. I'd come back for the plain bagels, just maybe skip the egg next time.

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd give a Portland bagel five stars…read more A few things to note here: 1. Oregon is a miserable state for bagels. Arguably the best in the genre here exists in Hood River, and it's about par with Northeast supermarket bagels or the British Columbia approximation of a Montreal bagel. It's fine, but far better than the bagel-shaped rolls of white bread you'll encounter here. 2. Bentley's is in a neighborhood dense with bagels, but light on good bagels. The names of its bagel-making neighbors are familiar to the locals, but they're also a big part of the reason why expats go out of their way to travel across town and wait in lines for bagels that might be passable replicas of those they remember. My family is from New Jersey, which has its own (albeit unlauded) bagel culture entirely, and has spent more than a decade here lodging bagel complaints. Their last straw was a place in St. John's that moved to the art museum and then to a place by the Widmer brewery that sort of made a decent bagel, but charged about $3 for the privilege of eating one. Not with cream cheese, not with lox or whitefish--$3 for the bagel itself. Sirs, you can go fuck yourselves with that level of extortion for what's essentially a Shop-Rite+ bagel. Bentley's has been much more reasonable and consistent. In a town that considers boiling a bagel an artisanal option and not, in fact, a default, Bentley's gets its chewy exterior and density down. While I'm slightly disappointed that the dough lacks some of the complexity of its back-east contemporaries--especially on a coast where the tang of a sourdough is approached with such pride--Bentley's gets the consistency of its bagels down. It comes down to sound fundamentals: Bentley's makes only eight varieties of bagels, but includes right-coast vestiges like salt and onion. More importantly, though a single bagel is still $2 (slight sticker shock from back east), that gets into the buck-and-change range quickly when you get a baker's dozen for $21 (roughly $1.60 per). I haven't gotten the cream cheese or lox here because I like making life as difficult on myself as possible. The best cream cheese I've found here is in Hillsboro. The best lox and whitefish? Astoria. So if a bagel spot is going to be out of my way anyway, I may as well start the weekend picking up a bag on 21st street, hitting 26 for cream cheese, and popping up to Astoria for a room for the weekend. After nearly a decade and a half in this state, Bentley's has helped my family shorten the bagel map a bit and given us the best option the Portland metro has to option. Before you give up on bagels entirely and start believing things like "Hmm, maybe biscuits and gravy ARE worth my time," pop into Bentley's on a quiet Sunday morning and try it for yourself.

I love that they make fresh real eggs. And I saw them hand…read moreform the bagels, wow! The breakfast sandwich needed more flavor for my taste.

But really.. can y'all please go the extra whole mile to cut my 10$ bagel in half please? Utter disgrace to East Coast bagels. That would be on site in the place you claim to represent. /fighting words and half the price. Just make it make sense and I don't have to write a bad review! Asking for a friend thanks Also this is for the management and owners. I had nothing but excellent service and the nicest people working there. You should pay them more and/or have a protocol of cutting bagels in half. It's literally ridiculous to spend over 10$ on a decent at best bagel with cream cheese and shitty coffee. If you order a sandwich it's cut in half usually yes? What if you ordered a pizza just one pie no slices. I just don't get it thanks for listening and never changing. It's kind of an important part of getting a bagel ‍
