Eisenhower Bagelhouse

My favorite bagel sandwich in Portland. Friendly folks, great barista! As an aside, I see a lot of complaints about the wait times. Personally, I don't mind the wait, and I plan accordingly. However, I'd like to know what the management/ownership is doing to alleviate this stress on its workers? Because ultimately it's them that bear the brunt of complaints when it's clear to me they're all doing their best and working very efficiently. Not really fair. Maybe consider making some changes that will better suit your extremely hard-working folks and their customers during those busy hours.

One of the best parts of the neighborhood - and now open all 7 days of the week! I felt compelled to give them 5 stars because not only is the food awesome (best bagels in town - the breakfast sandwich with the potatoes?! OMG!) but the staff is incredible. I want to shout-out whoever the owner is, who seems to go out of their way to hire underrepresented groups and folks that may face discrimination applying elsewhere. These employees are awesome, friendly, and make the business shine. Kudos to the team and leadership.

I love this place. The bagels are crunchy outside and soft inside, and they are just smothered in toppings. The biscuits are fluffy and crumbly. My only qualm is that when I buy a tub of cream cheese, it is amazingly inconsistent in the amount that I get. The only consistency is that is it never actually full. It’s rather annoying because sometimes it only serves 3 bagels, sometimes it serves 6, you really never know. I would gladly pay more and know that I would be getting a full tub of cream cheese each time. But regardless, I still give this place 5 stars because they have the absolute best bagels that I’ve ever had.

Love this place. Their bagels are fresh and delicious, the coffee is hot and invigorating, and the breakfast sandwiches will get your day started off right. Personally I love the The Hawk on a sea salt bagel. Or if you're looking for a nice snack, a sea salt bagel with the cinnamon cream cheese will give you a nice sweet and salty treat.
