Eltana
1538 12th Ave, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Eltana is a beloved Capitol Hill bagel spot that does the fundamentals exceptionally well, serving chewy, flavorful bagels with creative cream cheese variations like honey almond that keep people coming back for years. The spacious, welcoming atmosphere makes it equally suited for a quick grab or lingering over coffee and pastries with friends, though service can be a bit scattered during busy times. It's the kind of neighborhood gem where you'll find gluten-free options and enough seating to settle in for a study session on quieter afternoons.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Really yummy. The gluten-free bagels are certainly not the best I’ve ever had, but they do the job. Nearly empty (Monday afternoon) and had a lot of places to sit, so would be nice to study.
Eltana is such a gem in Capitol Hill! The bagels were absolutely delicious, perfectly chewy with great flavor, and the overall vibe of the shop was really nice and welcoming. It does get a little busy, and parking in the area can be tricky, but it’s 100% worth it once you’re…
