Bagel and lox
Sheryl S.

Stopped here on a quick work day trip to Homer. Cool spot and it was busy on a Thursday morning. The lox and bagel hit the spot and was quite filling. After I ordered I saw their drink specials menu and decided to get the orange cinnamon London fog tea which was deliciously soothing and not too sweet. It looked like there was table seating in the back but didn't get a chance to hang out. Will definitely come back!

Smoked salmon schmear on garlic bagel
Carrie G.

We tried this place twice when we were visiting Homer from Anchorage. There are a shortage of bagels in Alaska! These are boiled NY style bagels. The first time we went was in the afternoon kind of later and they had about 4 flavors. We just wanted to try so we got the smoked salmon shmear on an onion bagel. The bagel had huge pieces of dried onion all over the top, it was good. The smoked salmon cream cheese spread was very good as well. Had capers in it which were ok. Also got a chocolate chip cookie which was delicious too. Second time we came it was around 8:30 in the morning and they had more flavors, and kept putting them out while we were standing there waiting for our order. So if they dont have the flavor you want it may be coming. This time I got the bacon egg and cheese on a salt bagel. The salt were huge chunks of salt, not finely sprinkled like I excpected. I didn't notice that their bacon is "peppered" it was wayyy way too peppered. I couldn't even eat it. Their menu is kind of scattered and hard to read too. I think I was overcharged the second time we came because I paid $30 for two bagels (11 each) and a chocolate chip cookie. Doesn't add up. I would come for the chocolate chip cookie and the schmears. Not their lunch or breakfast sandwiches :(

Coffee bar area

Spoiler alert (kinda): find Hokusai and read the words for a wholesome surprise and a good chuckle. =] This place is packed, but efficient! It's like everyone understands that a line is part of the experience and they're super kind about it. And since I was standing, I had time to look at the back kitchen area which was spotless and wonderfully organized. And I'm happy to report the bagel shop is every bit as good as it was a year ago. The coffee is amazing and the separate barista means the drinks are done quickly and perfectly! The Cafe Saigon was not only delicious but came in a beautiful piece of pottery. The local art on display was intriguing, unique and displayed with an attention to detail. Easy QR code payment. On display until October.

The Bagel Shop is a MUST visit if you're in Homer. It has been posited that you can't get good New York Style bagels here in Alaska. Sorry, i disagree. The Bagel Shop is an unassuming, deceptively urbane looking storefront, in an industrial area of town, it's certainly not on the main drag of Homer, but that does not affect how busy it gets. Inside the entryway, you'll order your bagel, from the chalkboard with the choices of what's available. There are cold drinks in a chiller, if you desire, or get coffee or tea if that's your preference. The menu is quite extensive, from what looks to be such a tiny eatery, but don't be fooled - tables are around the back. You can get bagels, soups, salads, a variety of drinks. My first few times here, we were always getting bagels for on the road, and i didn't even know you could eat inside. I always got the Everything Bagel with the Holy Trinity Schmear (jalapeño, garlic, anchovy, blended masterfully with cream cheese) and it is superb, i tell you that right now. If you love garlic, you'll love this schmear. Anyway, so last time we were in Homer, we decided to eat inside, and i thought I'd try the "Avocado Toast" and have a nice cuppa tea (I'm British ok, don't roll your eyes at me like that!) So i got an Everything Bagel, with the avocado topping. He ordered the usual I think he got an onion bagel with Holy Trinity schmear. I was presented with such an artistic looking bagel. And i will stand here right now, and claim that 100% they cook THE best fried egg in ALaska, because they don't flip it like an over easy egg, so it's not brown on top. They either do what british people do, and flip hot grease over the top of the he egg, so the whole thing stays white, and the top of the yolk has an opaque white skin, OR they put a cover over the egg, and the steam cooks it. Either way, it cooks a perfect fried egg, because sunny side up - I've had way too many snotty, sunny side up eggs to ever trust ordering one. Ad i get an over easy egg, because i just can't get an English-style fried egg here in ALaska, except for now. THIS IS THE PERFECT FRIED EGG RIGHT HERE. The yolk is a perfectly runny sauce to drape unctuously over your bagel, the avocados are bright green and fresh. There's a seasoning on top of this egg that elevates it to magical heights. It's got sesame seeds in, and something green. No idea but let me take some home please? Micro greens on top and it's just delightful. And 2 days ago, it wasn't on the menu, my heart sank! So i asked her. She said oh sure, i can make that for you! Would you like bacon? Would i like bacon? Indeed i would like more deliciousness added onto an already stupendous meal. And it was AMAZING. It's now my go to, as I'm a creature of habit, as much as it's possible to have a go-to, in a place you only go to, once or twice a year. Superb. The best! And ALWAYS service with multiple smiles. As someone said to me about the Bagel Shop, "if you live in Anchorage, The Bagel Shop is well worth a *turn and burn*" and i wholeheartedly agree.

Closest in the picture is the pastrami sandwich with a garlic bagel. The other bagel is a salmon lox.

I love this little cafe! The sandwiches were soo good! Very fast to come out. I really enjoyed the decor, really cool plants around the shop. Coffee was amazing!! Really love it and will be returning!

Umami lox special
Claire M.

Heavy on the lox, which is great. Quick and kind service. 3/5 stars because the bagel was pretty doughy and not toasted enough .. but better than expected for being so far up north and away from the great bagels of the east coast..

Don't be intimidated by the full parking lot and long line. These guys move quickly and will still manage to serve you with a smile. I ordered the breakfast sandwich (egg and cheese) on a sesame bagel with artichoke spinach feta schmear. It was a good choice that turned out to be my breakfast and my lunch. They also make great espresso. The maple cortado was lovely. Food and drinks came out quickly. A great spot.

The place was super busy but they get you your food so fast! The food was good and the coffee was the best I've ever had.

The bomb for bagels. Sockeye salmon bagels. Neat stop for breakfast here in Homer. The taste was great. Must stop and extra for lunch left over.

Real bagels! Nice and chewy. Friendly staff. Line moves quickly. I'm succinct. Don't like long reviews. But min characters required.
