Blazing Bagels — Restaurant in Redmond

I ordered something similar to what I've gotten at the other Blazing Bagels location in Bellevue here - a Lox & Egg Bagel. However, this time I got it with a pepperoni rather than a pizza bagel, chipotle cream cheese rather than garlic herb, and the addition of lettuce & onions as vegetable toppings

This Blazing Bagels location, to be, was more disappointing than the Bellevue one Starting with the bagel itself, I found the one here to be a lot chewier and more tough than the other one. Also, the pepperoni pizza bagel just felt less flavorful than the pizza bagel I'd gotten earlier

One change that I got this time around was the chipotle cream cheese rather than the garlic herb variety. This was a massive downgrade in my opinion - as the chipotle version tasted kind of weird, like it was trying to mask the flavor of the cream cheese with a little bit of spice. the garlic herb cream cheese did a much better job at amplifying the flavor

I could've gone without the lettuce and onions - they didn't add much and were kind of annoying

The one good thing was the lox was pretty solid - as usual

The previous things were things that I changed, so it's understandable if they're different and I can't fault the location for that. Where things got more disappointing for me, though, was in the things I kept the same The egg was kind of lifeless. It tasted a bit cold, got lost in the flavor, and wasn't that pleasant. The previous egg i'd gotten had a much brighter yolk and felt more alive

The cheese I got this time around wasn't melted in the slightest - it was just a cold slice between the bagel. This really surprised me, because last time around at the other location, it had been melted perfectly

Also, I got way more olives at the other place. This might be because if you order more vegetable toppings you get less of each individual toppings, but I would've still liked to see more

For the price, it's a bit expensive - as 16 bucks for a bagel sandwich is nothing to sneeze at

Overall, it's still not a bad bagel, but I really would rather go to their Bellevue location...

Every time we come here, the experience is consistently excellent. The food is always amazing, and the staff greets you with the kind of friendliness that makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. One of the highlights is the bagel selection—there are so many to choose from, and no matter which one you go with, it always comes out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. On this trip, I also tried one of their oatmeal cookies, and it was just as impressive—soft, fresh, and perfectly sweet.

I recently brought my family here for the first time while they were visiting from out of state, and they absolutely loved it. We stopped in on a weekday around 10–11 am and it was perfect—not busy at all, so we could take our time enjoying the food and catching up. On weekends it can definitely get crowded, and sometimes there’s a bit of a wait to order and get your food, but honestly, that just shows how popular and loved this spot is. The quality more than makes up for the wait.

This place also has a really nice setup for different types of visits—there’s outdoor seating, some indoor tables, and it’s kid- and pet-friendly, which makes it an easy choice whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast or lingering over brunch. It strikes that rare balance of being casual and comfortable while still serving food that feels special.

If you’re in the Redmond area, I can’t recommend this spot enough. Whether you’re a bagel fan, looking for a family-friendly brunch place, or just want something fresh and satisfying to start your day, this is a place worth going out of your way for. We’ll definitely keep...

A decent amount of parking and conveniently right across from the marymoor light rail. Nice little stop after the trail.

There are nice picnic tables outside, and a couple indoor tables.

Really easy to find the cashier and order the bagels. So many options and so many combinations.

Everything bagels were amazing, they were extremely generous with the cream cheese. If you like lots of cream cheese you're in luck. I'd you like a lighter amount you might want to let them know. Really like the garlic herb cream cheese, looking forward to trying all their cream cheeses. This is definitely going to be my go to bagel spot in the future.

Tried the Beecher cheese bagel for the sausage, egg, cheese sandwich. Absolutely amazing. Soft and warm. The toasted it well.

Got a caramel macchiato, it wasn't piping hot so I was able to start driving it immediately. If you're used to getting super hot coffee, might not be your cup of tea.

I really like how they has some free doggie bagels. So feel free to bring your dogs, they even gave water bowls.

UPDATE: I went again!! The very next day 😆, craving it in the morning. Funny surprise was they have invisible bagels, I really love how in character the staff was the invisible bagels!

I did not order the invisible bagels, but I did get a photo. I ordered the Zoe Zuckerman with Chevy Cheese bagel.

Got the pepperoni pizza bagel with garlic herb and a ham breakfast sandwich with an everything bagel.

Absolutely amazing everything! I’m definitely going to be trying every bagels and cream cheese...
