    The bagel: My credentials are I have spent a good chunk of time and money eating NYC bagels. Pipsqueak's was a yummy, nice and chewy bite, with solid height. We got vegan cream cheese which was delicious and generous, but runny. The texture leaned more aioli and needs more thickness/hold. I suggest offering Tofutti. Vibes: Friendly staff and service!! Branding and atmosphere is very quintessentially Portland small business. Misc feedback: Don't love that the prices for the add-ons + spreads are nowhere to be found. Also no clear menu on the website? Even if certain toppings fluctuate in price you could still list it as "Market Price." My total for 2 bagels with 2 toppings each was $22. Valid when it's a good bagel, but def on the higher end for Portland and even NYC where there's actually sales tax. Overall, I enjoyed. This place is still new and I imagine also working out the kinks. I'm happy to have this addition to the neighborhood and wish them a long era of serving bagel-loving Portlanders!!

    A very long line... amazing bagels! The best we have had in PDX, and huge. We did live in NJ, so we know a good bagel. I'd like a way to avoid the line. Preorder maybe?? Also, toasted seems more like warmed only. I'll try double toasted next time. We got all flavors and they were all great!

    Gladstone Green sandwich on a salt bagel

    This is in my general area in Southeast so I drive by it over the weekends often on my way to Trader Joe's and I always see a line that wraps around the corner next to Hapa Ramen. I finally went to check it out on a weekday morning to avoid the lines (although still you should go early before noon because once I came in thinking I would get a bagel sandwich for lunch and they were already sold out). There wasn't a line when I went this time, and the place is small but cute and bright. All the employees were super friendly and cheerful, and it does seem like they pull together the bagel orders nicely. I ordered the Gladstone Green, which is a bagel with hummus, arugula, pickled onions, cucumbers and tomatoes. I got it on the salt bagel, which was nice because of the burst of sea salt crystals. It reminded me of eating Korean salt bread. Even though you can tell the bagel is freshly made, there was a denseness to the center that made it feel heavy to eat. And while all the ingredients in the Gladstone were good, the hummus spread was so thin I could barely taste the hummus or even know it was there. It's decent for a bagel sandwich, but I wouldn't necessarily stand in a long line for it.

    I've been waiting for them to open, and today was the first day I was able (er, willing) to get up early enough to try my luck at hopping in line. Got in line at 9:04, ordered at 9:50, had bagels in hand by 10:00. When it was our time there were still 6 bagel varieties to choose from. Once you order, it's quick! Everyone was friendly and working their tails off. We got what everyone and their mom had been posting about: the Sunday Best and the Fruit Cream. We agreed that it is worth the wait! Especially the Fruit Cream, what a treat. We agreed that we could easily split one of these. It was pretty easy to find a seat, and the vibes were lively all around. Next time, we're looking forward to getting standard bagels and seeing how those stack up!

    60 bagels were left at 11:15am!! Second weekend open so get there early for all flavors

    Went on a Saturday morning at 11 and the line was out the door but fairly quick given that it's still a new spot in the neighborhood. I love bagels, these ones are soft, doughy and chewy. I happily picked the black pepper Asiago! $4 a bagel, not cheap but not exorbitant if the flavor is right. The flavor was right! A nice chewy bagel that was warm (would preferred it toastier, so I'll ask next time when it's not so busy) Then add schmear and toppings if you want. Here's my grievance, there's no pricing for things outside of the bagels and sandwiches. My bagel was $4. My grand total was $12, so my smoked salmon schmear was twice the cost of my bagel. Don't get me wrong, they gave me a ton (more than a bagel could handle) and I took it home and spread it on future toast for the week cause that schmear is delicious and it cost a ton. The line was long and I didn't want to hold things up and change my order. Service was friendly and swift. A few tables inside and a few outside. Aesthetics were great! Second time got two jalapeño cheese bagels, only one with cream cheese and it was $12. So plain schmear is $4. Jalapeño cheese is perfectly cheesy and spicy

    They are good. Not great but not terrible. And for a good bagel, they are way too expensive, like airport price expensive. 10$ for a bagel and cream cheese are you serious? I would gladly pay for something that is worth that much but the bagel was hard and the cream cheese was not spectacular. I went in the morning and was disappointed because they didn't even have a breakfast bagel, like a bacon egg and cheese? I think that is standard for a bagel spot too. The Italian Stallion was good too much not great, 15$.

    Get here early. Great staff and energetic work flow. Generous portions. The wait for the food is worth it. There were 3 people making sandwiches.

    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.
