BUT the person at the register was so very helpful, he offered to give a sample of some bagels. And his description of the taste of the different bagels was very helpful. The staff were so kind and friendly. They brought the pressure down & we were able to make a decision with confidence. The environment, laid back and homey. There's a fridge that you can peruse while waiting in line, full of different schmears and drinks. It's a bit cramped inside but only made so because there were a lot of people. And the food. YUM. Yum YUM. We had the everything bagel with sriracha scallion schmear with cucumbers & red onion, the lox on sesame bagel, and the egg & cheese on plain. Every single one - deeelicious. The only thing that wasn't so great was that one bagel was harder to chew/bite than the others. So the texture wasn't as great, but that was compared to the other ones, which were near perfect. I've been back once more since, and again - same great experience, maybe even better tasting than the first time, which how?! How even?! Will definitely be frequenting this place even if it's a bit of a drive. WORTED!

Blackbird Bakery is the only bakery that popped up in my search results when I was doing research…read moreon where to grab pastries for breakfast during my visit to Bainbridge Island. It's clear this was the case for others as well, as there was a large line extending outside the door onto the sidewalk when we arrived around 10:00 a.m. I ordered their multigrain toast with jam along with a savory croissant. The toast comes heavily buttered and the savory croissant for the day was topped with the fillings you'd fine in a spanakopita -- i.e. spinach and feta. I really loved the thickness of the toast slice and the degree that they toasted it: soft and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. They did not hold back from including a bunch of seeds in the bread, and that added a nice texture in every bite. The jam is on the sweeter side, but I like that it's on the side so you can control exactly how much sweetness you want to add. The savory croissant had good flakiness to it, but it would have been nice if we had an option to have it toasted. Overall, very good bakery that I'd gladly visit again if I'm back on Bainbridge Island. Definitely get the toast.

You can only get regular brewed coffee here; their pastries are the highlight. I have had their pear danish (superb and light) and orange almond cake without gluten (delicious). Scones, muffins, cookies, and canele are also laid out. In terms of bread, their bakery delivers from Port Townsend. Some of the boules and loaves do look hefty. I have bought the "ficelle" a light bread with a satisfying crust in the shape of a baguette. It works as a side bread for an Italian meal or with soups perfectly. The shop is a delightful nook for specialty gifts and treats. It does seem to display an "old world" ambience because of the low-slung roof and architecture. However, the workers are not wearing ironed bakery smocks. They are wearing dodgy street clothes which can touch the items and that's not very "old world Euro" now is it.

Hit and Miss. If…read moreyou try their freshly baked bagels (out of the oven within 30mins) then they are the best - soft, fluffy and flavorful, but if its been there on the shelf for couple of hours, then they are not that great - stretchy and too hard . Infact their staff also plays tricks, - especially one of their girls. Once I asked her if they are getting more of fresh bagels, she said no and gave me the bagels from the shelf. While giving me a bag, a new batch came out from the back, and so then she changed just 2 of the bagels, not all. Since this was my first time, I didn't really think much about this. For next few weeks I again went couple of times , some other people person were on the counter, who was gracious enough to always tell me that yes a new batch is coming up but I might have to wait for 10-15mins. I waited and every-time got warm bagels. After few weeks I again went, and the same first girl was there and I asked her the same question , she again said no, so I insisted if she can go back and check (it was just 9am only), she said it more firmly to me - "I am telling you there is no more fresh bagels coming in". So I took whatever she gave me from the shelf. While walking out , from the window I saw a big tray of fresh bagels came out. But since the line was long, I didn't want to get into the conversation with that girl, so I ignored it. This happened one more time recently as well. So not sure if that one particular girl didn't want to give me fresh ones or maybe she wants older bagels to sell before giving out fresher one, but since this happened 3 times, I am not impressed. I had also bought their bagels once from their pop-up market and it was also not that fresh. By the way, their small cafe has good ambiance if you want to sit there and enjoy their bagels and coffee right there. Whatever I write above, I will still keep coming back since they are my 2nd fav bagel shop in Seattle area.

It has both a drive through window and a covered walk up with some limited seating. I lined up behind two other women out with their puppies in training. They had their coffees and both puppers received pup cups. I ordered a 20 oz mocha, needed to wake the eff up! Lucked out too because they had three, free bags of spent coffee grounds available. My Japanese maple will benefit from that. Friendly service, longer business hours, decent mocha, and your name & phone number gets entered in their POS system. No punch/stamp card needed. Bremerton keeps changing over the past 5 decades. Love that there's various great spots to get espresso in Kitsap County. Ristretto Stone, near Lebo & Wheaton, a worthy detour!

I didn't take any photos worth showing but, cheese bagel sandwich with cheddar, egg, and sausage was real good. Sausage patty tasty but a little thin. Scrambled egg square was tasty and large.

Couldn't stop there and went with blueberry scone. That was also very tasty. Finally, I couldn't resist pumpkin muffin filled with cream cheese. Wow, everything was so good. No beverage this visit but so many other tasty things to choose from I will be back. To top it off smiles from the staff and pretty good pricing. Make sure you give them a visit.

On my most recent visit, I also tried the black sesame bagel with butter. It was good, but there was a bit more butter than I would have preferred, and the standard toast wasn't quite crispy enough for my liking. That's an easy fix though, and I'll just ask for it toasted a bit longer and less butter next time. I really love the location of this spot and am hoping to check out their other location soon. They share a great outdoor seating area with Sea Wolf Bakers and also have a small amount of indoor seating. There's usually a line on weekday mornings and a longer one on weekends, but it moves surprisingly quickly, so the wait has never felt unreasonable. One thing I especially appreciate is how light these bagels are compared to some other Seattle bagel shops. They have a great chew without feeling overly dense. Service has always been friendly and efficient. I still haven't tried any of their fish sandwiches, but that's next on my list. Until then, I'm perfectly happy sticking with a classic sesame bagel and cream cheese.
