OK this is not for the faint of heart. IT"S EXPENSIVE.. Where i the world does a plain bagel cost $3.50? EVERYTHING was delicious.. Incomparable Tad Nick and Nora I wanna be your Joey Ramone and the sweets.............aw, can you still eat anything more? Of course you can. Hey we're on vacation, so who cares how much it cost. read more

I just slammed this Pastrami Egg and Cheese in my car, and it was exquisite. Rachel's is a Ballard institution where you will find a long line on the weekend, but not to worry, you will be served up quickly by the hard working folks here. A few things to consider: I've never had a bagel on its own here, only a bagel sandwich. So I don't feel as though I can give an expert opinion on the bagels. However, they do work very well for the sandwiches. The everything bagel is absolutely loaded with seasoning, and has an incredible saltiness (I'm a salty man, so this is a good thing). I feel as though this elevates the eggs to a new level. I was immediately drawn to a pastrami breakfast sandwich, because it's a top tier meat. This will feel more like you're eating thin roast beef because of the color, but it's still pretty good. I do think that this sandwich needs some acidity to balance out all of the fat, so grab some hot sauce at the counter. Overall this was a great sandwich, and I would get it again. That being said, I feel like the bagels are lacking due to a fault in a core ingredient. They all come with potatoes, and I think that they're either boiled or not quite roasted enough. Having to deal with undercooked potatoes dispersed throughout a mondo burrito is a battle that I'm unwilling to wage - but people seem to love 'em. The other ingredients and overall flavor is nice, though. Rachel's is a fun place with good coffee, too. And they let me bring my dog in which is dope. read more

This place has a coffeehouse, takeout feel in a new industrial style building with just s few seats. I ordered the "Agent Cooper" bagel (I am a sucker for Twin Peaks") and a vanilla latte with oat milk. The bagel was satisfying - a large, soft (but not too soft) bagel topped with spicy (but not too spicy) cream cheese, a bunch of ham, and egg. I was full for well into the afternoon after eating it. Latte was creamy and balanced. Service was friendly and I got my food quickly. Not completely sure why there isn't more seating but maybe it's completely packed on nice days. Would definitely try again! read more

THE BIG: This bagel spot was located in Ballard, however there's another location in Lake City. The Ballard location is quite big with a fair amount of sitting area. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here on a Friday right before noon and grabbed bagels to go. They had a big menu of bagels with spreads. The thing that caught my eye was the spicy miso scallion spread. I didn't get it but next time I will! I got the Olivia which had broccoli, vegan cream cheese and avocado. So delicious. The wife got the Rocky Raccoon and that was so good too! We took two bagels to go for our friends we were staying with. FYI: They're closed on Tuesdays. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall for four bagels, the damage done was around $66. The bagels here were amazing and I'd definitely come back to try more. read more

Good bagels and lox. Limited tables. Not the best interior. Seems like a warehouse. Nothing here blew me away, but the experience was good. No plate options, just sandwiches, which made ordering difficult for me read more

Stopped into Rachel's Bagels and Burritos and tried the lox bagel sandwich--really solid, fresh, and satisfying. The menu is surprisingly diverse, especially for a spot that leans so heavily into a grab-and-go model. They've definitely shifted since the old Porkchop & Co. days, but the new layout makes it easy to pop in and out quickly. Located right in the heart of Ballard, it's super walkable and convenient if you're already in the neighborhood. Parking, however, can be a bit of a challenge--pretty typical for the area. They do close early (1pm on weekdays), so plan accordingly. Overall, a good experience and definitely worth trying if you're looking for a quick, tasty bite in Ballard. read more

Great bagels and friendly people. What more can you ask for? I like the Jolene Jolene with heirloom tomatoes on an open faced bagel. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by for weekday brunch and was happy there was no wait at all. The menu has a wide variety of options, but I went with the breakfast bagel which was super filling and hit the spot. There is street parking and limited indoor seating, but the space is clean, bright, and inviting. Staff were friendly and everything felt well organized. I will definitely be back to try the burritos next time, and I might place an online order too. read more

Stop by this morning to grab a quick breakfast. I ordered the Audrey, which is a breakfast burrito with eggs, steak, cheese, potatoes, and peppers. The burrito was decent tortilla could've been grilled or pressed as it was a bit soggy. Potatoes were a little bland inside the burrito. But overall, the burrito was delicious. But for the price point of $17, I would expect a little more well constructed burrito. Ambience is nice typical Seattle coffee shop vibes which I like. They had a stack of books. You can take from the library and read while you're there really like that. But the bagels look amazing and I regret not ordering one. If you're in a Ballard area this is a cool place to check out as a staff is very nice and welcoming. I shall return. read more

This is my new favorite breakfast burrito place I've found in the area. We went on the weekend when the farmers market was going on. It is harder to find parking on the weekend, but luckily there's not a long line for food. We ordered The Raquel, The Audrey burrito, and the breakfast bagel. The food was super flavorful and came out quickly. We also ordered a London fog and the brown sugar latte which I recommend! The place is nice to sit in and has an industrial feel to it, except there is limited seating. read more

Seattle summer in a bagel sandwhich: Nino Art (bagel sandwhich, $16) on the togarashi flavored bagel. Is this the best bagel in the world? Probably not. Have I tried their breakfast burritos? Not yet. But this sandwhich just a delight. The Nino Art comes with NW wild lox, scallion cream cheese, avocado, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, and onion. The medley of it all is light and refreshing. If they bottled this flavor combo as a vibe, I'd buy it. Also want to shout out that they serve Kuma Coffee, a local roaster. Not my personal favorite in Seattle, but a very solid pick. I grabbed takeout, but it's the kind of place you catch up with a friend on a Saturday or Sunday morning on a warm summer day. read more

Hadn't been here in a really long time, since it was PorkChop. I had the I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone, a fabulous combination of lox, cream cheese, capers, salted cucumbers and sumac. I had it on a sesame bagel. So good!! Husband had The Raquel, a burrito with chorizo and other good things. He liked it. The only disappointing thing, other than it was freezing in there, was the cappuccino. It tasted almost burned, like another well-known coffee. i will go back for other yummy-sounding items! read more

Rachel bagels!! And burritos! That is that ! My wife and I had our weekend getaway ! This week and we wanted to stop by to get this place base on the review! And it did not disappoint! Excellent service! Plenty of options! This is the standard now for a quick brunch spot! The only regret with our experience is that we didn't buy a few bagels for the road! Most definitely will be coming here again! read more

If you survived last nights wind storm, and are up early, great coffee, scrumptious bagels, savory breakfast burritos (or lunch for the late riser)... service here is efficient, courteous, even when super busy! Ambience is warm and inviting for a warehouse like space and the soft sounds of music in the background make for a really relaxing morning nosh! - come here often. read more

Extremely slow service. How long does it take to make a bagel sandwich? Decent quality bagels but also quite expensive. You can get a full sit down breakfast for the same price as many of their menu items. There is also a significantly cheaper and much faster option right down the road in Fremont. read more

Rachel's Bagels & Burritos - I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone ft mystery guest. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was my first time stopping in! The server was friendly and informative helping me figure out what to try! Decided on the Danny B and Rocky Raccoon! The Danny B was bursting with bacon and yummy melty cheese. The Rocky Raccoon was so so fresh but substantial!! Was particularly a fan of the every thing bagel. This is what you hope for when ordering an etb. So completely coated with seasoning. Such a cute and clean space with room to spread out should you have some busy work to take care of while you enjoy a delicious bagel sandwich! Can't wait to come back and try the burritos!' read more

Rachel's Bagels and Burritos is a great place for a quick but hearty breakfast. It's a cute spot located in Ballard that has a variety of really interesting bagel and burrito options. I got the I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone bagel sandwich with a poppy bagel. It was a little expensive (around $16), but it was filled with ingredients. It also stayed pretty intact as I was eating, which I appreciated since it didn't make a huge mess as I ate it. I didn't realize they had online ordering so I ordered in person, but they were pretty fast considering how busy they were. The staff here was also very friendly. I ordered a coffee that didn't come out, so I asked the employee making the coffees and she was really nice and made my coffee right away. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and it was really acidic and hard to drink. But I would definitely come back to try the burritos and more bagels! read more

I normally don't do this but I stopped in right before close, prepared for them to turn me away if the kitchen was already closed up. They did not and were super friendly despite my last minute appearance. I really enjoyed the burrito and was able to customize it with no cheese or dairy. It was packaged well too! The inside is cute with high ceilings and bright colors. They do have a patio that is dog friendly but you cannot bring your dog inside to order (there's a sign on the door about it). I would definitely order here again and maybe get the bigger size because it was so tasty, even though I probably don't actually need a whole pound of burrito lol (but I want it). read more

The bagels never fail here! They're super generous with the toppings and the combinations are great. Out of the ones I've tried, the Nick & Nora bagel with lox is my favorite. The service and atmosphere are great! They added in seating as well. (Though when it's a little busy, it's hard to grab a seat) If you want to try different bagels, make sure to go early! They do run out. read more

Given the name, we split a burrito and a bagel. We got a togarashi bagel for the rocky raccoon sandwhich that we had and while the sandwich itself was good, there was nothing too special about the bagel and I actually couldn't taste the togarashi. The burrito was great though. We got the audrey which was a steak breakfast burrito and that definitely filled us up. Gooey from the cheese, fluffy from the egg, and a bite from the steak = yum. read more

This has been a place that's been on my list for over a year. I actually went to another restaurant who turned out to be closed which gave me the chance to try this place since I was in the area. Ambiance - no seating, grab and go. Service - woman who took my order was so patient as I combed through the menu and also made some recommendations. Food - The food was just ok unfortunately. I had their steak breakfast burrito which was sorta bland. The plain tortilla was the biggest complaint. Tasted cold and dry. I bought a side of their hot sauce which I wasn't the biggest fan of but helped the burrito. This place had a line out the door so I'm sure I'm the minority and I'll still be back to try their bagels! read more

WOW! Incredible bagel sandwiches bursting with flavor. Located in Ballard, we ordered for pick up and sandwiches were ready in no time. I got the Rainbow Racoon and my husband got the veggie one with an added egg patty. Both were bursting with flavor and very filling. Insider there are a few seats. I would love to try the burritos next time! read more

I'll preface this updated review with some context; I moved about a year and a half ago and haven't gone to Rachel's basically since. At the time, they were expanding into the building next door and I assumed some menu changes would likely come about. I finally made the trek this past weekend and placed an online order thinking I'd be able to split a burrito with my husband. For reference, back then they used to offer 1lb burritos (they legitimately were that big) that were a good offer for a big brunch or as something to split with a friend. I was a bit confused when I saw they had two types of burritos, a regular (costing around $15) and a "giant" (around $18). I figured maybe they received feedback the 1lb burritos were too much food so they added a smaller size and perhaps kept the OG as the "giant" version. When I got back home I realized they packed the burrito into one of the boxes I'd get a bagel in, which wasn't an ideal sign. Indeed, the "giant" almost $20 burrito was not so "giant". It's not that I expected "giant" to be synonymous with "1lb burrito" but I certainly anticipated it being a bit bigger given the price. While the taste is good I'm not sure the value is still there. Unless you're a fan of spending upwards of $18 on a singular breakfast item, you might be better off trying another spot. I can't speak to their bagel offerings (post expansion), but I'm overall less inclined to go back after this. read more

I was blown away by the Nino Art bagel; lox, scallion creme cheese, pickled jalapeños and red onion on my choice of an everything bagel. I ordered online and the sandwich was already there for me to grab when I arrived roughly 10 minutes later. Is it pricey? Yes. Is the quality worth the cost? Absofreakinlutely! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the bagel sandwiches soon! read more

We ordered online and got the Bobby D's bagel sandwich, a plain poppy seed bagel and the Raquel breakfast burrito. Online ordering is seamless and easy without the wait. We ordered a poppy seed bagel for our Bobby D's and I wasn't sure about the "baked" eggs, but it tasted pretty good with the cheddar scallion spread and bacon (mmm). I liked how the bagel sandwich stayed intact with each bite! The bacon provided texture and crunch, while the eggs and the cheddar scallion spread balanced the salty taste of the bacon. The Raquel breakfast burrito had a lot of flavor thanks to the chorizo! Along with the chorizo the additional flavors from the scrambled eggs, potatoes, queso oaxaca, chopped red onions, cilantro and arugula made it tasty. One of my friends didn't care for the arugula. (If you don't like arugula you can ask to remove it.) We ordered the poppyseed bagel and it tasted great, too. Rachel's bagel is in my neighborhood so it's an easy choice for great bagels and breakfast burritos! read more

Really delicious bagel sandwiches and biscuits. I love the variety of options, and unique bagel flavors - particular favorites of mine are the togarashi and zaatar. I've tried their biscuit sandwiches, the hummus/mushroom bagel sandwich, and egg/avo/truffle cream cheese sandwich. They were all terrific, and I especially appreciated the hummus sandwich option on the lighter side. Biscuits are tender and fluffy, and could even just hold up on their own. The truffle cream cheese is fantastic. Slightly pricey but popular and worth it! read more

I can't believe I haven't hit this place up sooner, being relatively close by. Had their buttermilk biscuit and one of their burritos (vegetarian, the "Julia"). The burrito was solid, but my goodness, the biscuit was life changing. Moist (by biscuit standards), but with a nice crisp on the outside. Addictive. read more

10/10! Burritos were fresh and hot and super delicious! The bagel had a crisp outside and soft middle paired with their scallion cream cheese yummmmm! Service was friendly and speedy for how busy it was (I went on a weekend). There isn't much of a dining area inside so plan to eat outside or take to-go. read more

Better bagel sandwiches than New York! Rachel's was very busy when we stopped in, and there is very limited outdoor seating. It is probably best to order online for pick up. I tried the The Agnes Agatha Jermaine & Jack. It had bacon, tomatoes, arugula, and scallion cream cheese on a sesame bagelYum....it was packed with flavor. My daughter had The Older Ben. It had pork, avocado, cucumber, onions and hummus. It was also excellent. They have some unusual bagel selections and sell their seasoning in the store. My husband tried one if their burritos. It truly is one pound and incredibly filling. Service was very good and pretty quick considering the line of people. An excellent bagel choice ​ ​ read more

Why can't Seattle produce a decent bagel? Dense and bready... no snap, no chew. It's round bread. And is there a vendetta against pumpernickel in this town? None of these "boutique" Seattle bagel shops seem at all interested in tradition and Rachel's follows suit. read more

Wow! Very impressed. This is a review of my first and so far only visit. Summary: EXCELLENT quality, food is expensive but I think it was worth it. (there are few restaurants offering anything like this). The wait took about 15 to 20 minutes on a busy Sunday morning. BUT they have online order options which is awesome. The customer service I experienced was lovely (which I think personally is rare in Seattle). There is street parking, and paid lots nearby. Since I was just picking up I parked for a quick min right out front. I will def be back! Details: The chorizo burrito had excellent flavor. Sure I wish it was a little bit bigger for the price but man and the quality of ingredients and the flavor profile was amazing. I am no expert, but it seemed like they had caramelized, onions, purple, onions, different herbs, etc. in it. They didn't just stuff it full of potatoes. I love the quality of the tortilla itself as well. The lox bagel sandwich was also seriously incredible. Perfection. I don't know if they did anything special to the cucumbers, but they were an awesome addition. This place has also nailed a beautiful presentation and how they cut the bagel sandwich in half. Besides prices being a bit high, the only thing that I thought was pretty odd was that they have pins for sale at the register that are sort of passive, aggressive, saying "I tip 20%" ANDDD this place is take out only no table service. Eek! Entitled much? So awkward. If you can overlook that and appreciate them for what they are, and not feel pressured to tip 20%, I highly recommend this place! read more

I think I just found my favorite bagel spot in Seattle FOOD: Phenomenal I absolutely loved what I got and it was the perfect size for the amount we paid (~$15). Super filling and packed with ingredient. I don't think anything was lacking and the flavors were very nice. I can't remember the name of the bagel sandwich I got but I feel like with this place and seeing how popular it is, you can't go wrong with any of their items. I also tried their new orange caramel latte and loved it a a lot. Reminded me of an orange chocolate SERVICE: On a weekend at noon it gets pretty busy so expect a wait! Friendly and charming staff who were helpful with recommendations. AMBIANCE: Feels like Seattle although there's not really a seating area, there are some chairs outside the pick up window to sit. Overall, I'm coming back for this place. I'd love to try all their other sandwich offerings! read more

Hubby and I wanted a little something for breakfast while in Seattle one morning. We decided to give Rachel's a try. We ordered the Bobby D's on a plain bagel and a vanilla latte to share. I wasn't too impressed with the bagel sandwich. The "egg patty" was a little weird to me. The bacon was cut into chunks not sliced and wasn't cooked as well as I would have liked. The bagel itself was pretty good, nothing too special. I thought the scallion cheddar spread was an interesting and tasty element on the sandwich. It almost felt like a thinner cream cheese spread. I did really enjoy the vanilla latte. It was very creamy and foamy with a great vanilla flavor. Overall, just okay breakfast sandwich. Kind of a forgettable place. read more

Great spot for to-go bagels, bagel sandwiches and burritos, with a couple of vegan bagel sandwich options. I ordered the Vinnie & Matt bagel sandwich ($13 plus tax; one of the two vegan options), which comes with roasted & charred broccoli, roasted red pepper, cucumbers, avocado, lemon tahini sauce, and vegan cream cheese on a choice of bagel (I got Everything). It was ready in less than 5 minutes. The bagel was enormous, generously stuffed with the above-mentioned ingredients. Be sure you're sitting down, as it's quite messy and you'll need to wash your hands after. Very filling and satisfying spot. Recommended. read more
