Just a quick note about Kettleman Bagels & Bakery. A local Portland company, they serve traditional New York Style bagels at three great locations throughout the city. Our favorite is just two blocks away, at the wonderful NW store at 23rd/Lovejoy. The interior is slickly decorated and offers individual chair and table seating, as well as all of the local/national newspapers for your reading pleasure. The large windows fill the space with light, which adds to the comfy atmosphere. There is also outside seating on front patio that is great when the weather starts to turn.
The bagel flavors are standard but ample, and while these aren’t the best bagels you will ever have, they are consistently fresh and tasty. They offer a number of meat and veggie sandwich options, as well as an assortment of pastries. One of the best parts is they serve Stumptown coffee, and it comes in huge mugs (we love this part).
The service is always a tad off-kilter, but friendly nonetheless. Pricing is totally reasonable.
We have grown to love our combination of bagels, coffee, and Willamette Week crossword puzzles – it’s the best way to start a weekend morning!
