Bowery Bagels
310 NW Broadway, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“This Portland bagel shop nails the craft of the bagel itself, with a perfect balance of soft and chewy that keeps locals coming back, and they're genuinely generous with the schmear and quality toppings like fresh cured salmon. The vibe is warm and unpretentious—small and designed for quick grab-and-go, but the baristas genuinely care, even chasing customers down to deliver forgotten honey. Beyond bagels, their matcha tea and full breakfast menu round out a spot that feels like a neighborhood gem where you're treated like a regular from your first visit.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I always make a point to stop in here for a breakfast bagel when I’m in town. Their bagels get the balance between soft and chewy just right. I love the Simon Benson on the salted bagel or the salt & pepper bagel. Coffee is great too.
Excellent customer service, super fun vibe, great bagel and yummy tea made just the way you like it, a lovely experience! My friend forgot their honey and the barista ran it out to us after we had left the building, super friendly and helpful staff! 10/10
