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!)

Delicious tuna salad on a garlic bagel, a really good thick slice of pickle, and a small bag of chips for $8.50! The build your own bagel part of the menu is on point! Friendly staff too!

Great local bagel spot. I really enjoy the easy online ordering through their website, makes pickup seamless. Bagel sandwiches are very reasonably priced and everything taste great. Only criticism, which really isn't a criticism, is that you get about a half pound of cream cheese per bagel (slightly exaggerating) so I end up scraping a good amount off.

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 ?

Great bagels at an out of the way little shop. Flavors are through the entire bagel, not just on top, which made for an excellent breakfast sandwich. Very impressed, will go to again.

Amazing bagel and coffee. Friendly and fast service.

The bagels were meh. If these are the best bagels in Portland, y'all need to travel east and try some closer to NYC. Also, the coffee was just meh as well. Definitely not worth the half mile walk to get there

Henry Higgins bagels are unmatched in Portland. I'm sorry to be the dreadful "I grew up in NY" person, but I'm going to do it just because I'm so impressed by these bagels. All through high-school bagels were a breakfast staple and snack as a hungry teen. There were even a few corporate chain stores that had great boiled bagels. But Portland is a deadzone for good boiled bagels. Henry Higgins does it right though. So good. I'd be very sad if they disappeared.

Best bagels in PDX but every time I've tried to order online in the last year they are not taking orders, which is a huge bummer (and don't bother calling - they don't pick up the phone). They weren't even taking orders today, and it's a Tuesday. It just sucks because the bagels are so damn good!

Everything bagel with almond honey cream cheese for the win, fresh and delicious.
