Bunny Belly Bagels — Restaurant in McMinnville

TLDR: a simple concept - amazing bagels, convenient location - executed perfectly.

We have been anxiously awaiting the opening of this shop, with a dedicated bagel shop being very much needed in the area. We had high hopes and they do NOT disappoint! It's a simple spot - bagels, cream cheese, coffee. In this case, simple is the solution! These bagels are everything I want in a bagel - the slight crisp blistered exterior with an airy, chewy bite with a perfectly balanced flavor. Like the shop, the toppings are simple but distributed well. All in all, a win! The owners are great and not new to the McMinnville restaurant scene, so hopefully we get to enjoy these bagels for...

It’s a good sign when the person in front of you ducks BACK IN while you’re waiting for your order, just to tell the shop they’ve done an amazing job. I got cheese w/mama lil’s shmear, plus a plain & salt to try later. This is definitely the best bagel I’ve had in Oregon, maybe even West of the Mississippi. Nice structure, chewy but not gummy, with a great crust just this side of crunchy; everything you get from good ingredients in a good dough, boiled just right. The drip coffee was outstanding as well. Person working the counter (owner?) is also everything you want from a bagel shop guy; not trying too hard but affable....

A recent poll confirms that eating Bunny Belly bagels makes consumers 10% happier in life. No really, these bagels are fantastic and will bring a whole bunch of joy to your day. The cream cheese they use is stellar. I’ve been getting extra bagels and freezing them at home for the days I can’t make it in or when they are closed. Get in there and support this awesome local business!...
