Henry Higgins Boiled Bagels

These are the best bagels we’ve had in Portland. The drip coffee here is literally undrinkable weak tea colored water. I cannot repeat it enough: eat their bagels, like all of their bagels, avoid their coffee, seriously don’t get it backward, this is important. We moved here from Brooklyn, these are a great substitute. God I hate their drip coffee.

Not exactly like the bagels from the northeast in a Jewish deli but decent for Portland. Nothing special but not the worst bagel I’ve had. The smoked salmon is hot smoked, not cold smoked like lox. Their lox and whitefish are from Acme in NY so very salty. The prices are high for Portland. Like that they have Dr Browns sodas and at least half of the customers wore masks while ordering to go.

Absolute best bagel in the city!!! I have had the hardest time finding a real bagel since moving here... it's all been this awful, thin-skinned, fluffy mess of circle shaped breads... until now! They make denser, chewy, satisfying bagels at an excellent price and the best lox I've had in a decade! Cannot recommend them enough, fresh, beautiful bagels my growing autistic teen will actually eat (and you know that texture and flavors gotta be perfect to please em!)

Little hole in the wall that makes absolutely bomb bagels and bagel sandwiches. People are nice and coffee is good too. Recommend for a nice brunch grab n go or get some coffee and hang out. The sitting space indoors is a bit drab and feels kind of crowded and not comfortable. If they had some comfy couches and armchairs I would have given that extra star 🌟
