The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. We really enjoyed everything…read morewe ordered. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. Our server was inattentive, often ignored our requests, and brought items much later than expected. We had to ask multiple times for simple things like water and extra wasabi, and even then not everything was brought correctly. It's a shame because the food is excellent, but the poor service took away from the overall experience. I hope the restaurant improves its customer service, as the kitchen truly deserves better.

Customer Service is terrible. I tried to pay for my order with $100 bill and was told that they did…read morenot accept $100 bills and I asked how is that possible? She replied we can do whatever we want. Then turned around and walked away started pouring coffee or some other drink. And then comes back and goes you've timed out... Then ask the next person what they wanted totally dismissing me so I said it probably timed out because you walked away. She snarly replied, no it's because you took too long. This is inappropriate and uncalled for I don't need to be disrespected or talk down to you when I walk into a fast food restaurant or any restaurant for that matter. It then took 15 minutes to make my breakfast sandwich which I could've made at home in less than 10 minutes. This is in unacceptable!! No one should be talked down to you whether behind or in front of the counter!!! I understand it's hard to find good help, but I won't be back!!!

(Sorry not the best photos ) I came to this bagel with…read morereally high hopes, my friends all rave about it. I ended creating my own bagel, since I'm a little special and don't eat egg... The worker was a bit off putting, there was no signage if I could make my own so I just simply asked and she said "well yeah it's kinda like what we do here" in a bit of a undermining way. So wasn't very welcoming in my eyes. But I proceeded to order my bagel, came out fast and hot. The sandwich tasted great too, with the pepper jack cheese a bit crunchy from the grill. The mistake I made was getting the salted bagel... I wouldn't do that for a sandwich. It was a bit over the top salty. I think it would be amazing with just cream cheese though. The bagel was fluffy and tasted homemade, the ingredients were super yummy and filling. I have plans on coming back for sure, I just don't think this location is calling me back specifically.

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.

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 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.

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.
