Sincerely, Bagel — Restaurant in Portland

Sincerely, Bagel is wonderful. I have been 4 times now since opening, and felt compelled to leave a review. To start, the staff has all been incredibly kind and accommodating all times I have come in. I really appreciate having staff that feel like they belong in the area, and seem like they are enjoying their time. Secondly, the atmosphere was fine. Certainly feels like a classic quick ikea job. Which is fine! Just not super special. Everything looks clean and put together. Lastly, the food has been phenomenal every time I’ve been in so far. A little on the pricier side, but honestly reasonable for current economy pricing. Hard to find a sandwich for less than 10$ anywhere of quality. The general bagel is chewy with a little bite on the outside. Bacon jalapeño cheese bagel is really really tasty, love the big chunks of bacon and jalapeño on top instead of the finely chopped bits you find in a lot of similar bagels. Paired with the spicy scallion cream cheese and you got a winner for sure. Not a huge egg fan in general, but their soufflé eggs are really good for a sandwich egg. Overall, highly recommend. Sincerely, Bagel punches above its weight class with innovative flavors, and really solid staples. I live a little closer to another popular bagel business, but I think I’ll be here...

I had an amazing experience at this bagel shop. The service was genuinely warm and attentive — the staff made me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. Everything was handled quickly and with a smile, which set the tone for a great visit.

Now let’s talk about the food: absolutely delicious! The bagels were fresh, perfectly baked, and packed with flavor. I tried a few different options — the lox bagel was rich and satisfying, and the breakfast sandwich was equally impressive. Every ingredient felt premium and thoughtfully prepared.

Yes, the prices are slightly on the higher end, but honestly? It’s 100% worth it. The quality of the food, the care in service, and the overall vibe make this place stand out from the rest. You're not just grabbing a bagel — you're treating yourself to a truly satisfying experience.

Highly recommend if you're looking for something a cut above the usual. I’ll definitely be...

Should I have walked away the second they tried to charge me $14 for a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel? Yes, absolutely, but I didn't, so I can at least tell you if it was worth it. My gentrified bagel sandwich is pretty good, actually. They have a nice variety of specialty add-ons, like gochujang mayo, that I appreciated. The bagel is decent, but I didn't get any of the sourdough notes folks talk about (maybe the everything seasoning is the dominant flavor, I'm not mad about it). The egg and bacon were fine too, although the bacon was a bit salty - even for bacon - but what are ya gonna do. At the end of the day, it was a decent sandwich to start the morning. I just can't get over the fact that I spent $14. If you've got money like that for bagel sandwiches, you might as well just go to the store and make 'em at home. You'll get more for your money, and you'll avoid a...
