Rubinstein Bagels

Best bagels I’ve ever had! Had the salted bagel with bacon, egg and cheese this morning. It was divine! It was a beautiful bagel with impressive flavor. We came back to try other flavors and they are all excellent! The lox is amazing! There is a cozy fireplace and ample seating for social distancing.nnBuyers note: these bagels are made with fresh organic ingredients. There aren’t preservatives in them. They are absolutely best the day you get them and second best the next day. After that they are sub-par. Buy what you can eat in one day. Grocery store bagels can last a long time in the fridge but that’s because of preservatives. These bagels are perfection but only are perfect the day you buy them.

Had a horrible experience today it took them 30 minutes to cook a single item that I was picking up I sat at the counter and I waited and waited and waited in the item that was supposed to have the name called out when it got to the online order shelf was never announced out loud like the lady working at the counter said she would do for me but instead my item that was ordered sat on the shelf for another 10 minutes while the manager was walking around giving out free samples. He asked me if I wanted one and I said no I’d like to get my order and leave I’m in a loading zone because there was no parking anywhere else available and I’ve been here for over 20 minutes it took an additional five minutes for him to figure out where are the order was come to find out it was on the shelf the entire time for the last 10 minutesnnThe next time somebody comes into your establishment that’s never been there you might want to work on getting things out on time in correctly because that ultimately is going to determine if that person returns as a customers himself

Gotta be the best bagels in Seattle, I can’t get enough of them! Rubinstein’s can get pretty slammed on weekends, but definitely work the wait. Also, good bagels are supposed to be chewy, so if ya don’t like em chewy, don’t come here. And if you do, probably don’t complain about it on Google. 4.2 stars is an unfairly low rating for this place in my opinion.

Delicious bagels. My roommate always brings home a few to share. The everything bagel is my favorite b/c it doesn't need much added to it. SUPER flavorful and salty. Chewy, tasty, bagels, all with unique tastes, and fresh foods to fill them with. Their attention to detail is appreciated.nnTheir cream cheese is to die for and they've got an extensive coffee selection. Most noticeable if you visit the store is customer service. They'll let you know how long the wait is if you ask. They do their best to serve the high demands that come with being one, if not the best bagelerie in Seattle.

I am going to give this place the benefit of the doubt. Great atmosphere in Via6, awesome bagel, Olympic coffee was excellent too, took me back to my days in NYC, but really slow to get my bagel and when we did they were ice cold. Part of the experience is getting that warm bagel with cream cheese. Not sure how a cold bagel happened when they make it to order and it was a 30+ min wait.
