Had to stop by to get breakfast with the coworkers and we were not disappointed! Service was super friendly and they were patient with us as we had lots of questions since it was our first time. I tried the salmon with garlic cream cheese! It had capers onions tomatoes and sprouts and it was delicious!! My bagel choice was the onion but I was between that and the everything bagel as it seemed those were the most popular. My coworker got the same thing but you're able to choose salmon ahi or ono and he went with the ono. He said the ono was super good too. Definitely will be back to try that brisket bagel sandwich! read more

Fin's Bagels has a couple of parking stalls and a few outdoor seating options. Service is quick and curt as they can get busy. I ordered the Fin's Bagels at Fin's Bagels- c'mon, it's their namesake! It comes with different options for cream cheese and fish, I got the ono fish and did a split of their furikake and tobiko limu cream cheeses. It's a densely packed bagel and filled with sprouts which makes it a well-balanced meal. Although the bagel texture was firm and doughy, the overall flavor profile was not as strong as I would have likely between the bagel and the fish. read more

Fin's Bagels - Fin's Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fin's is a quality bagel shop and one of the best on island, but the bagels are still just average. A little doughy and under-seasoned for my taste. And at $8 for just a bagel with cream cheese, they're a little pricey as well. Note that all of the bagels except the rainbow are flown in from NY, instead of being made fresh in house. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not, but I'll have to try the rainbow next time to see if it's any better. That said, the jalepeno cream cheese is truly outstanding! They slather on a heaping serving too if you're into that. I wiped most of mine off, but it's really good! Service is friendly and there is a nice little patio out front. Not much parking, but there are a couple spots. The Better Daze coffee hut just around the corner serves a small selection of big time bagels from the farmers market. I prefer those. If I could be difficult and match the big time bagel with the Fin's jalepeno cream cheese, I'd do it! read more

Good spot for when you're craving bagels. I've been to both Fin's locations in downtown and Kapahulu. Both locations have pretty bad parking unfortunately. I would highly recommend ordering online to avoid waiting as well. On a Saturday, we were quoted around 20 minutes for a walk in order of two bagels. So far I've tried the "Rise N' Shine," Kiawe smoked brisket, and the asiago bagel with lox cream cheese. Of the three, my favorite is the breakfast bagel. You can choose what flavor bagel (I got sesame), meat (I got bacon), and if you want an over medium or scrambled eggs (I got scrambled). It was pretty filling! They have a ton of yummy cream cheese bagels! If you want one, I would recommend ordering the cream cheese on the side, because the ratio is off if you order it on top. I felt bad wasting, but I had to scrape off a bunch of the cream cheese because it was a little too much for one bagel. With the limited bagels out there, Fin's is solid. read more

WOW! Service was very friendly and it was pretty busy but we were in and out pretty quickly! Area is cute, a little more seating would have been nice but it doesn't look like there's much room to work with so I'd say it was still pretty great. The food though! I wasn't sure how bananas and peanut butter and blueberry bagel (amongst other things) was gonna taste all together but I trusted their menu item just the way it was and I'm glad I did! Husband with the basic egg bacon and cheese (added some cream cheese) and both were to die for! He said the nitro cold brew was nothing special but still good, I think they put enough focus in the bagels to give them leniency on the coffee! read more

Those of you bagel heads, this is the spot for you. Real NY bagels...you can read about how they get their bagels from NY on their store. Bagels - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Plenty of selections. Definitely got some interesting and custom flavors. The ones we tried were Nalani on everything bagel and the raspberry matcha on Asiago. Bagels were delicious. Fresh and high quality. The Nalani felt like a healthy breakfast - but still very good. The raspberry matcha tasted like a donut but with a bagel twist. If you like dessert or donuts, give it a try. If you like matcha, you may be disappointed that the matcha is overpowered by the raspberry. I'll have to try other ones on the menu. We'll be back! read more

Very busy came here on a Friday lunch time Asked the staff if I could wash my hands or if they had hand sanitizer but they didn't. Order the brisket bagel and the rise and shine. Egg was over cooked, brisket was lacking flavor The actual bagel wasn't anything more special than Panera . read more

Ok so the bagel was very good. I had the rise b shine bagel sandwich with scramblers egg and spam. I definitely enjoyed it but it was pricey! The cold brew was exceptional and worth the $6 price tag. It was SO HOT inside the shop. I felt really bad for the workers. There is only seating outside and they are the most uncomfortable chairs I've ever sat in! Haha. There are 3 parking spots and they say 30 min max and maybe the chairs are meant to ensure you don't overstay lol. Bottom line: worth it if you want to take it to go but not sure I'll be back. I typically stay in Waikiki and it's a little bit of a trek to get there. If it was not so expensive I would have gone 4 stars read more

I'm a big fan of bagels and cream cheese. I feel like I could eat them in some form everyday. But good bagels are hard to find...especially in the islands. I was fortunate to stop at Fin's downtown and find my bagel....a Fin's bagel with salmon...on an everything bagel...yummo! After that visit, I made it my misson to visit all of the Fin's bagel locations to try all the goodness. It's early in my quest, but stopping in Kapahulu seemed like a moral imperitive. This location has a few 'pull-up' parking stalls so you can quickly park, order, and go. There's no seating inside, but they do have a few outdoor tables, which is convenient. The customer service here was just as the good as the food. They were happy, helpful, and made my experience wonderful. I was unsure of my next tasty purchase....do I buy the same bagel to see if it tasted the same...do I get something else? The nice people who work here could tell I was at the crossroads. I asked questions, mainly about the fish salad. They actually gave me a sample of it...and I was sold! I opted for a Fin's bagel with the smoked fish salad on it. It was just as stacked and stuffed as the downtown location, which is what I was looking for. This hefty bagel is not the most inexpensive sandwich, but it is very, very delicious. The fish salad added a lot...but became slightly reminiscent of a gourmet tuna salad sandwich...but a very amazing one. The intensity of the fish salad wanes slightly when stuffed in between the fresh produce and everything bagel, but is still a very well balanced and hearty helping of wonderful. I think next time, I will purchase the fish salad on it's own...for chip dipping....I feel like One-Ton chips would be perfect... I am looking forward to my next visit....to try the other fish combinations on the bagels. I'm getting hungry.... read more

"Messy, messy, messy... but gooood!" Fin's is located where Magoo's Pizza was located when they were revived a couple of years ago. They are within the first block of Winam ave, (Diamond Head side) where Winam and Kapahulu ave intersect. Hawaii has always had bagel shops but within the last couple of years "specialty" bagel shops featuring delicious bagel sandwich variations have blossomed in Hawaii. There is do much more to life than a plain The bagel offerings are quite good and generous with the filling quantity. There is some parking in the front but street parking maybe a useful option. The staff is friendly and efficient- issues with them. When in the mood for bagels, a viable consideration. read more

I tried the Everything bagel with balsamic nut Mac cream cheese. The bagel was delicious but the cream cheese didn't deliver for me. I didn't taste balsamic. The blueberry bagel was so good and fresh. We also tied the rise "n" shine bagel sandwich! So good. Hit the spot. The bagels were perfectly toasted and very fresh. The staff was friendly and the service was fast considering the line was out the door. Will be back again! read more

Cute little place. With some seating outside and 30min parking in the front. There is a cool vibe with the open baskets of bagels and the grab your own drinks. There's also nitro drinks on tap and a serve your own water stand. You can grab some cream cheese smears to go too......9.95 for a half pound. Everything looks so appetizing. Be aware there is no bathroom though....if you decide to sit and chow down on your freshly toasted bagel. We tried the Asiago with the lox cream cheese and the everything with the tobiko lime. It was good. Definitely a unique flavor. It seems sweet - which I'm not sure I understood. The everything bagel had barely any topping but the flavor from the cream cheese carried it. They are not shy with the schmear! The ladies working were "cool" - almost like they were trying to not look annoyed to be taking your order or making your food. I'm giving it a pass as maybe I'm just an old lady who was hangry...so I'll interpret better next time. We will be back the next time a bagel or cream cheese craving hits. read more

Since we had an amazing locally made bagel recently, we wanted to try another bagel shop. Luckily it wasn't far from where we currently were, as we moseyed on over just around the corner to find Fin's Bagels. Another cute little shop in Kapahulu! We were super lucky to grab one of the three parking stalls directly in front of the shop. I noted that there is a 30 minute limit to park there. They were quite busy with a decent line out the door! They had some specials posted on a board in the front which we inspected while waiting to make our order. When we got to the front we asked the cashier about the pricing for the specials and decided to try: The Bri Bagel ($17.95 on an everything bagel) Pumpkin w/cream cheese ($7.95) Blueberry bagel ($3.25) Asiago cheese bagel ($3.25) 4 oz. plain cream cheese on the side ($3.70) There were many orders ahead of ours so we figured it would be a while. There is a small outdoor seating area between the parking stalls and building so we grabbed a table and chatted while waiting. As we waited, we observed another couple eating a bagel that looked yummy too... found out it was the Avocado Bagel, which was the other special listed. They were eating it open faced, so not sure if they ordered it a particular way or not, but it was the perfect size to share as it was loaded. Our order was ready and one of the workers brought it to us nicely packed in a to-go bag. Surprisingly, it took less than 15 minutes from ordering to hand off, which is pretty impressive. Our bagel was loaded as well, but cut in half down the middle. The dill really bumped up the rich flavors of this savory bagel. Super yummy and filling! The pumpkin bagel was toasted and served with a generous slab of cream cheese.. I love pumpkin and it hit the spot. read more

"Can we get bagels this Saturday?" asked my "I lived in NYC for three years" partner. Yes, dear, we can. After attending the Yelp Elite event at Finn's Bagel downtown, my partner and I went down to their original Kapahulu location as the Downtown location isn't open on weekends. The bagel shop, which imports frozen dough made in NY, then bakes the dough fresh in-house, tends to slather on a wildly unhealthy amounts of cream cheese just like NYC. Finn offers several types of bagels from the marketing friendly rainbow, everything, and Asiago, among others. We went for the Finn's Bagel sandwich on an everything bagel, with salmon, tomato, onion, cucumber, dill, local microgreens and roasted garlic cream cheese on the side. We also got an Asiago bagel and then used some of the garlic cream cheese from the Finn's bagel. This is just too much cream cheese for one bagel, or two, but maybe just enough for three. Being smart, we brought a small cooler with ice packs to keep the extra cream cheese temperature safe to take home. The Finn's bagel with salmon was delightful with the right chew, flavor balance and size. While the fish is still not as good as Russ and Daughters in Lower Manhattan, you also don't need to fly to NYC and this bagel sandwich scratches that itch without a ten-hour plane ride. The Asiago bagel was decent, but I think I may have overhyped it in my head. Decent amount of cheese, but a bit greasier than I expected. Good balance of chew to crisp exterior. It played well with the extra roasted garlic cream cheese. The cute little shop has a few outside tables along with serve yourself ice water. Staff are polite and efficient. I'm genuinely impressed that they found a place with even worse parking than downtown, but if you're lucky, you can grab one of their few dedicated parking stalls. read more

Unfortunately, my first and only experience at Fin's Bagels was a disappointment. I ordered Fin's Bagel with an Asiago bagel and garlic cream cheese. The Asiago bagel was dense and flavorless--didn't think it was possible for a "New York style" bagel to be completely overshadowed by Costco's signature Parmesan cheese bagel. Aside from the bagel, the heart of the sandwich--the salmon--was utterly lost amongst the other ingredients. While the sandwich was interesting overall, it was a far cry from good; I couldn't even manage to finish it. It's safe to say that I will be making a trip to Costco to grab some cheese bagels, smoked salmon, and cream cheese to avenge this $20 failure of a breakfast. read more

Almost a dupe of Einstein Bagels, close but not the same. Still very good and the closest I have found on island. My friend and I shared the Kiawe-Smoked Brisket Bagel and Everything Bagel with Garlic Cream Cheese. The Brisket Bagel was a little dry so we added some of the excess cream cheese from the one bagel and it was BOMB. It should come with Cream Cheese or a sauce that ties it all together. Coffee is okay wish they had more of a selection. Ambiance is super cute. read more

New York style bagel spot in Kapahulu. Small cafe with 3 parking spots in the front. We luckily went during a perfect time and the lot was empty. Woot! There are about 4 dining tables outside of the restaurant. We phone ordered our bagel sandwiches so it was ready when we got there. Bagel was toasted well, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Ratatouille - this is like a veggie sandwich, simple and lite. Kiawe brisket - my favorite one. The beef brisket really good. Blue Hawaii - on the sweeter side. Blueberry bagel with banana, bacon, and peanut butter. Such an interesting combo I never had. But it was good! Sandwiches and bagel really good. Definitely will be back. read more

Fin's bagels is iconic NY style bagels. It is chewy, but not hard. The choices are endless...who sells rainbow bagels?! Fin's bagels of course! What an amazing hit with the kids..and adults if you're like me! The cream cheese options are endless as well and are changing every month! They have local style choices like smoked fish or furikake! I've even had ube! They also have traditional cream cheese and fruit flavored cream cheese like strawberry. Prices are reasonable and they are super easy to work with. Order online for quick pick-ups. Parking is limited, but easy to spot with their giant mural. Hint: they have a brand new location in downtown!!! Go check them out! read more

I've had Fin's twice in the past week because of a craving for bagels and Tali's Bagels in town has the strangest hours and is never open when I need it to be. First time at Fin's and I was definitely impressed by their Kiawe Smoked Brisket bagel sandwich. Loved the Asiago bagel (thankful that the everything bagel was sold out and I got this instead) which is their egg bagel with cheese on top. It was so so so good with the brisket and veggies..I kind of thought the bagel was lacking because there was no schmear included (or any type of sauce) which I think it needed..but without the cream cheese or sauce, it felt like a lighter, healthy sandwich. Still...I think I would have preferred the option to include cream cheese for free since the price points are already so so high for the portion size. I also got a sweet bagel option - sadly the blueberry was sold out so I opted for their cinnamon raisin. They definitely lack sweet cream cheese options (only two to choose from). They have a regular menu item - banana caramel (not partial to banana) and a seasonal fruit flavor (this season was a cranberry, blood orange rosemary flavor). This combo I tried on a Monday was not my favorite. I thought the cream cheese was too sweet, and weirdly tart. It was overwhelming and I opted to scrape off some of the cream cheese. Couldn't finish even a quarter of it. I had the same seasonal fruit flavor cream cheese the next day (lol!) on a blueberry bagel this time. Maybe I had a bad batch on Monday because the Tuesday batch was so so much better! I actually saw cranberry and blood orange bits dotted generously in the schmear which gave good texture and the notes of each fruit came through wonderfully. Im glad I didn't toast the blueberry bagel bc the schmear stayed nice and thick and not sludgy like the day before. However, unlike Monday with the nice and impressive brisket bagel, I decided to try a Fin's Bagel specialty with one of their cured fishes. Opted for the pastrami style Mahi Mahi fish on a fin's everything bagel. Also got their limu and tobiko cream cheese. I was very unhappy with this savory bagel option. The fish was incredibly unpalatable. Slimey, fishy and just terrible, ESPECIALLY with the tobiko and limu cream cheese. My friend and I had to pick out every piece of fish and tossed it. I was okay with the bagel sandwich thereafter. The tobiko limu was not that great to be honest but at least it was edible! I was also quietly embarrassed because I raved to my friend about the epic brisket bagel I had the day before from this place! Ughh...I think the concept of a fish cured in-house like an Ono Lox or an Ahi Prosciutto is fun, but definitely not executed successfully, At All!! It is uncomfortably hot inside the shop and seating is limited outside, so plan to take your bagels to-go normally. Only 3 tight parking spaces in front of the shop. Street parking is also difficult which is a shame otherwise I'd come here more often. Price points are high!!! read more

AHHH, Love love love! I mean for its size, compared to a lot of places that make lox bagels in Hawaii this was pretty good! I would definitely recommend this place as your bagel spot.

There are also only 3 stalls to park so you are better off looking for street parking or walking from another lot. Lots of options, clean and have about 3-4 tables outside. I will definitely be back! read more

Fin's Bagels earns a weak 4 stars, mostly on price. I came to check out Fin's after a surf, and got the Fin's mahi on an everything bagel. After tax and tip it was over $20 for a bagel with some fish. That number sets expectations, and the sandwich didn't quite clear them The best part is that they seem to care about the fundamentals. The bagels are NY-style, and the shop explicitly leans into that. They also cure their own fish, and you can see it in the shop when you walk in. That kind of visible process reads as confidence, not decoration. The everything bagel held up well to the filling and didn't feel like an afterthought The space is chill, well kept, and trendy without being loud about it. Service was nice and straightforward, with no friction at the counter. I'd come back, but only when I'm already resigned to paying over $20 for this category of lunch read more

New York style bagels. I overheard they get the dough fresh daily from NY because the NY water is different, making the bagels what they are, and I was not aware of the reason before. Interesting! Sandwiches are made fresh. They have prefix options and then a few of the regular "old school" go-to orders for either standard breakfast or lunch bagel orders. Prices a mid to steep...but ingredients seem to be very fresh and well sourced. They had fresh and nitro free samples of lemonade, tea and cold brew. I tried the lemonade which was AMAZING. I ordered a bagel they were out of already and settled for a different, available bagel, which I felt made my sandwich not as great. Bagels are that way for me... I would definitely go back to get what I want because the rest of what I was eating tasted good, maybe I could have used mustard on it. I love sprouts, and anything with fresh sprouts is always a winner! The sandwiches are large and filling so I was able to eat half and save half for later. read more

Overall: 3.5 stars I had their matcha raspberry bagel, they give generous amount of cream cheese. For $8, it is reasonable pricing.

Did their rainbow bagel changed? Parking is limited, only three stalls in front of the store. They have outside seating. I might be back if they have special bagels that I want to try. read more

You have other fillings such as Mahi, Ahi or smoke fish. While writing this review I was trying to remember how the bagel I had in New York was like. Well in my opinion this bagel was close to what I remembered. The bagel tasted like what I remembered. The bagel seamed a bit tougher then I remembered. Taste was good . The service was good and friendly. Got lucky with parking. The do have three stalls in front. Also have three, small tables in front. On the negative side was the price. $18 was a bit steap.

Fin's Bagels - Smoked meat - Bagels Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fin's Bagels is a small bagel shop off Kapahulu just outside Waikiki. Parking is tight as there are only 3 stalls out front. The shop itself is small with only the counter for ordering and a couple cold cases with various spreads and dried fish they sell. Apparently also day old bagels sold by the dozen for $5 less than the regular amount, but there were none when i went. There is outside seating tho it is limited as there are only 2 small tables that seat 4 each and 2 tables that seat 2 each. They have an ok assortment of bagels. When we were there they had, plain, everything, cinnamon raisin, bluebery and asiago bagels. Bagels are $3.25 each and a dozen bagels are $35.75 (essentially buy 11 get one free). My wife ordered a Rise N Shine bagel sandwhich - $12.95 (bacon, spam or sausage wth 2 over medium (or scrambled) eggs, and cheddar cheese) on an everything bagel. I just ordered an everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese....for a whopping $7.95. So if we do the math...7.85 minus the cost of the bagel (3.25) they're charging $4.70 for CREAM CHEESE. Now ok, they don't charge extra for the specialty cream cheeses (except for the Lox one which is an extra $2...so $6.70 for that cream cheese), but this is still absurd. They do put a decent amount of cream cheese but honestly, cream cheese should not be more than $1-2 dollars extra. Especially considering I can go to Safeway across the street and buy a whole brick of cream cheese for $6 (at the time of this review). But absurd prices aside...the food was...ok. My wife's breakfast sandwhich tasted ok, but we agreed it would have been better with cream cheese instead of cheddar cheese. The jalapeno cream cheese on mine was...fine? Maybe it was the batch that day, but the jalapenos were way more sweet than spicy. Tasted more like bell peppers instead of jalapenos despite that indisinguishable jalapeno flavor..again, minus the heat. The everything bagels we got were toasted nicely and had a nice chew to them (as all good bagels should). Sadly their version of an "Everything" bagel was just garlic, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds. No salt, no onion, Definitely lacking in the flavor department. The clear winner was a drink i didnt even mention yet. After ordering, the guy behind the counter gave us a sample of the nitro thai tea. Upon tasting it, i immediately got back in line and purchased one ($7.95). It was cold, smooth and delicious. Would I go back here? Maybe. Maybe just to try one of theur overpriced sandwhiches. But if im in the mood for a bagel, I'm gonna stick to Tali's at Ward. Still overpriced (tho slightly cheaper), but they actually put salt and onion on their everything bagels, its closer to home, and parking is a lot easier. read more

I randomly walked past Fin's Bagels one morning and now it's become one of my favorite breakfast spots! the service is always so great - the workers are incredibly friendly and will help you if you have any questions. They even let you sample the cream cheese spreads before you order! We got the Blue Hawaii, Sesame Bagel with the Tobiko Limu, and the Kiawe Smoked Brisket, which were all super hefty and delicious. I loved the blueberry bagel that came with the Blue Hawaii, and i loved how fluffy the bagels were without being dry like most other places.

Lots of selections! I shared one of the bagel sandwiches with my friend and it tasted really good. The price is decent and there is free water on the side. Interior is super cute and outside has lots of table to eat. One thing I would love is for you to buy more fans to keep the flys away from the bagels. The bagels are displayed on a rack with no covering and you do leave the door open so there were a lot of flys. Me and my friend did get diarrhea after eating it which sucks because I thought it tasted pretty good. I guess the flys did too. read more

Overall - Fin's has a great sandwich. Their smoked fish is killer, and their veg is super fresh. Their prices are a little on the high end for Honolulu, but nothing crazy compared to other spots. The bagel itself could use some improvement; it doesn't compare to NY bagels. Love that their fish is local though! Would recommend :) read more

I loved the look of the place, and there was easy parking right in front of the store. I love lox bagels, so I went in knowing what I wanted. Fin's bagel (aka lox bagel) gives you the option to choose a different protein if you want to venture beyond salmon. My bagel was filled with the rich goodness of typical Lox bagel ingredients; I seriously couldn't complain. Based on observation, the menu was easy to read, with no overcrowding of items. The staff greeted me right away, and the service was on point. Seating is at the front of the store, but I will mention that the chairs are mental and were very uncomfortable, especially if you are sitting for a long time. Also, they do have complimentary water for those who just want to buy a bagel. read more

***4.5 STARS*** Since changing jobs that relocated me from Kaimuki to the town area earlier this year, I don't frequent this area. Just the other day, I received a text from a former colleague that needed a time sensitive document completed. I found myself with some spare time and somewhat hungry as I hadn't eaten breakfast yet. I recall previously seeing reviews written by Auntie (aka Nadine C.) and Irene M., as both of them tend to patronize places that pop up as "Hot New Business" on Yelp. It's been some time since I last had a bagel so I made a beeline to Fin's Bagels (FB), which opened two months ago in mid-August. FB offer New York style bagels that are made in New York, then frozen and shipped to Hawaii. The bagels are then baked fresh and sold near the corner of Winam and Kapahulu. I also previously saw on social media their blueberry bagel with cream cheese that made my mouth water, so I didn't need to study their menu. However, the staff are very friendly upon arrival. I was asked how I found out about FB and who that person was. I initially asked for regular cream cheese but was given options of peaches and ginger or banana caramel. Say whaaaat??? I was torn as I am a traditionalist wanting regular cream cheese but I'm a fan of ginger so I inquired on what kind of ginger is used and would it be overpowering as ginger is strong. Curiosity got the best of me and was also offered a sample. To my delight I found the ginger to be pleasant with a slight bite so I changed my order to peaches with ginger cream cheese paired with their blueberry bagel. Staff knew how to upsell and was also asked if I needed a drink. I had my water flask in the car but as I glanced at their menu my eyes locked with their matcha nitro brew. I requested for my drink to be iced as it was a warm morning. I paid for my food and was immediately given my matcha drink. I took it outside to their dining area and I used the waiting time snapping some photos. I also noticed a good foot traffic with quite a few people shuffling in. When I glanced back I saw the staff write a name on the packaging and my name was called out. I took my food outside and immediately snapped some photos. My bagel was toasted where it was warm but not crispy. It was dense and had a pleasant chew. You had to be careful when eating as the bagels are generously stuffed with cream cheese spread, which had softened as the bagel was hot. I appreciated the ginger bite in the cream cheese but not a fan of canned peaches due to its unpleasant soft/mushy texture. Flavor wise it paired nicely with the blueberry bagel. I wasn't a fan of their matcha drink. I can handle dairy but clearly non-dairy (tastes like soy milk to me but other reviews show oat milk is used). Growing up in an Asian household we often drank soy milk, which is a far cry to whole milk that I loved to drink when I lived in Japan. For those who are lactose intolerant, this drink is up your alley. Overall, an above average first experience at FB where I'm game for a return visit. I'd like to try a savory bagel sandwich next time and also get a blueberry one with just regular cream cheese. NOTE: There are several private parking stalls just in front of FB. Signs are posted reminding patrons of a 30min limit. read more
