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.

The entire food menu is delicious. Bagels are great & they don’t skimp you on the schmear which is even better. Small place meant for grab and go so not much space to hang around which is fine. However, make sure to double check your order as each of the 3 times I have last been, something on the order has been wrong. I’m sure they’d be willing to fix it I just didn’t have time. The drinks are also not consistent. That being said, the staff are nice and the bagels are fairly priced and delicious. Keeps me coming back when I need a quick breakfast.

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

"A charming and skilled bagel shop that seems to be popular among locals" Food: I had the salmon bagel and was satisfied. The salmon was cured, yet it felt fresh, and it paired well with the vegetables. Service: The staff kindly explained the menu in detail, which was very helpful in making a choice. Ambiance: The shop wasn't large, but it was very clean, and the staff seemed lively and energetic.

Bowery Bagels – A Great Spot for a Quick Bite After an early morning flight from Northern California, I was in need of a solid but simple bite to hold me over until lunch with family. A bagel seemed like the perfect choice, so I stopped into Bowery Bagels in Portland on a quiet Sunday morning. Right away, the place had a welcoming local feel, and the staff was friendly. It wasn’t too busy—just a few people ahead of me—and I got my order quickly. I kept it simple with a classic bagel and cream cheese, and it did not disappoint. Fresh, well-made, and exactly what I needed after traveling. I enjoyed this little spot and their bagels, and I’d definitely stop by again next time I’m in town. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Bowery Bagels is a great choice for a quick and satisfying bite.
