I love this place's bagels, but the young lady working today (3/11) around noon neglected to change her gloves or wash her hands before preparing my bagel, after I watched her use the same gloved hands to work the register (with a screen all the customers touch to complete transactions). I should have spoken up and asked her to re-do my bagel, but I shouldn't have to. Seems like a pretty unhygienic practice to me, likely a health code violation, and I won't be back as a result. read more

Very good cream cheese schmear! We tried the scallion on the sandwiches and got a container of the salmon to go! Bagels nice and chewy, ingredients seem to be good quality and friendly staff. They do run out of bagel choices so you have to go early! read more

See all

The bagel I got was plain (ordered everything) but was good, unfortunate that they can't heat them up- it took me a year to finally drive by and get a parking spot. Great cream cheese. Unfortunately my family have also been given the wrong bagel or cream cheese so I probably won't go back. I will be back if they can heat them up, and I can see it before it's handed off! read more

outstanding bagels and sandwiches. great addition to west Olympia! Great selection of bagels and schmears.

Absolutely loved up to the hype! The line you see outside is more about people waiting for the orders than waiting to order. The prices are pretty reasonable given that you are actually getting a true NYC bagel and not some chewy glop that passes for bagels to the uninitiated. This will probably be a very regular ritual for us. read more

My wife is from New York and she KNOWS what a good bagel is and she raves about the bagels here... so do I. So take it from a bagel expert - Sixth Borough will do you right. And, their salmon cream cheese spread is to die for. Yummers! read more

Delicious bagels, sandwiches etc.! The bagels taste as good as ones I've had on the East Coast. VERY friendly staff. Highly recommend!!

So happy to have a real bagel shop in town again. The bagels are delicious and worth the wait. Line was wrapped around the block but it moved fairly quick. Veggie cream cheese is full of fresh chopped veggies and dill and was so good. read more

Eh, it's okay. I went there first thing in the morning and there was a line of about 10 people ahead of me. It didn't take long to get through. The bagels were good however, they were cold and a little tough. They tasted day old. I expected warm and fresh bagels. read more

Recently discovered. This place makes the best bagels. Was told to check them out because of how I couldn't find a decent New York style bagel. Tried the Pumpernickel, Salt, and Everything. So delicious with or without the fixings. Plus it's a local baker.So thrilled. read more

Sixth Borough Bagels - Bagels! - Bagels Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Almost a 4 but growing pains get in the way. 3rd time trying and each time bagels inconsistent one to the next. They get the crispy chew correct.. but todays selection grossly under proofed, so inside gummy... edible with toasting Even good but not toasted crust too thick, inside yuck 2nd time brought to a alaska for testing. Unfortunately no plastic bag available . But bagels traveled well and remained toastable over a couple days... though evrone commented on how small for the cost. 1st time... well from a position of bagel deprivation not a bad start... just wish counter staff were more conscious if hygiene and food service. I look forward to more growth... but alas at 2.25 will remain a treat not a mainstay. read more

Service was amazing, food was delicious, the bagel were a bit hard to chew on but overall amazing. We got a veggie bagel with scallion cream cheese and it was the best!! read more

Everything I've tried from this place has been delishous from the creamcheeses to the bagels and sandwiches. I have Never been disappointed with this place. They are Awesome!! read more

Happy to get a new bagel place in Oly. There are a lot of good bakeries but not there aren't great bagels. We waited in a fairly long line over the weekend. We bought 3 (plain, salt, everything) types of bagels and scallion cream cheese. The bagels were great. They had a really nice chew. The cream cheese was packed with scallions. The coffee was good. Are we they the best bagels I've ever had? No. They are a little small but more importantly, we didn't get a crisp exterior. Are they the best bagels in the area, yes. They are very good. We will be regulars. Staff was nice and efficient. A welcome addition to Oly. read more

Don't make a point of mentioning that you make the bagels the day before. Small wonder my pumpernickel was, blah. If you haven't the means to toast them, cook them fresh all day, like a real bagel bakery. Loooooove the extra charge for a bit of butter on a bagel that you can't toast. Really love that I have to ask if there is a charge for it, thinking-silly me-that a swipe of butter on a cold bagel should be part of it if requested. The pumpernickel recipe certainly needs work. Maybe ask around as to what pumpernickel should taste like. What i had was the most pale of imitations. Pale grey/brown dough with no zing whatsoever. If you know the difference, don't bother. read more

I have nearly lived in both the Bagelry in Bellingham and Blazing Bagels in Seattle with lots of friends (and free bagels) at both and I have to say any reviewer with any complaints about sixth borough is absolutely lost on what a good bagel is. This place is serving them, no doubt about it. I have eaten 4 or 5 of their bagel sandwiches now and each time they have been consistently amazing. The bread quality is very high, the ingredients are fresh, the eggs are cooked from whole after you order, they're very quick and kind and the place is cute as I'll get out. Absolutely thrilled this place is in the neighborhood. Ps the bagels are very good untoasted!! When they bake them to perfection the first time they don't want to ruin it with a toast. Listen to them when they say they won't toast it, they know their bagels. read more

We walked in and it had a great vibe. I have never been in a bagel-only place. They were patient with my dumb questions, and were fun in general. The bagels were great, and my New York Husband loved them. We had a couple breakfast sammies which were great. Their care of their craft came across in their customer service. There was the smallest of hiccups that we never would have noticed and they fixed it with a new bagel. So, so good! read more

Locally-owned and sourced! Amazing breakfast sandwiches, with fresh specials like Marionberry, lemon zest, honey drizzle, on plain schmear, on your choice of fresh chewy and crispy bagel! Or, egg/bacon or egg/sausage. Service is friendly and proficient. Parking is tight, so maybe avoid in-front parking and walk a little bit. Often, a line at the door, but it moves quickly. read more

OMG! Best bagels outside NYC! Crunchy, chewy, yum! Only downside, they put all the topping on the top, nothing on the bottom. I eat a half at a time, so the top half of my everything bagel was glorious, the bottom half was naked, like a plain bagel. So I took all the topping that fell off the top half and dumped it on my schmear for the bottom half. read more

I was hoping that I would finally get the East Coast bagel experience I read about in some of these reviews. I did not. I went in on a Sunday just before noon. My bagel was stale. I ordered whitefish salad, which was dry and tasteless. But I think the worst part of the experience was watching the lack of food safety as the person helping me wore one pair of gloves and touched countertops, refrigerators, a wet cloth, and a knife before using the same gloved hand to reach into a container of raw onions to grab some for my bagel. I watched her take the plastic off of a cucumber with her teeth. All in all a very disappointing experience. read more

Great bagels. Perfect for an easy grab and go breakfast that's yummy. Large variety to choose from and very convenient location.

This is my new stop while in Olympia. I lived in NYC for 2 years and these are the closest to real bagels I have found on the west coast. I can't leave without a bag full. The staff is amazing, so helpful and engaging. The location is cute, wish it was bigger! The everything bagel is my favorite. read more

We went there for the first time recently. What a great staff! And the bagels are really delicious. We had salmon cream cheese bagel sandwiches. Yummy! And we also bought half a dozen bagels to take home. We will go there again soon. read more

Ok this isn't about the quality of the food per se. The bagels were fine, if slightly over baked/ too crunchy. It's more about the website listing sourdough bagels, me getting excited about driving all the way over there, and then they say, "No we don't have sourdough (I said, oh you're sold out already? They said no, we don't carry them. I said, oh your website says you do. They looked at each other. I get it, they are not the bakers, they are servers. But then they said --wait for it--oh we use sourdough flour in the bagels. I just about puked in my mouth while trying not to laugh in their faces.) So don't believe the website. Just be Zen and accept what they have to offer. The end. read more

Amazing salt bagel. Crispy and salty. Will definitely go back when I have to go to Oly.

Small crisp, chewy bagels with delicious cream cheese flavors and a very pastrami bagel sandwich. Cheerful service, clean, attractive interior, nice branding. read more

Stopped here for road trip lunch break. Always enjoy supporting local businesses. Amazing New York style bagels. Sooo tasty. BLT and "Good Morning" sands were yummy. Smoked salmon cream cheese rich and flavorful. The owners gave us some free bagels for the road as it was near closing time. Hope to stop in again the next time we are in Olympia. read more

K so bagel flavor may have been good but I broke my jaw in the 40 minute process that it took me to chew said bagel. Bagel came out cold and brick like also the wrong one, bagels were mixed up lowkey no biggie but was a little upset. Overall warm up your bagel I believe that would fix all of these problems. read more

We love supporting local small businesses, especially if the food is delicious like 6th Borough. My husband said his breakfast sandwich (The Good Morning) was the best he ever had! These New York style bagels are the best, we will be back! read more

delicious bagels, kind staff, great experience! so rad to have a new, killer bagel shop on the west side!
