Rubinstein Bagels

Lots of seating , very clean and modern spot. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. So many different kinds of bagels!!I ordered the avocado toast on a shallot bagel. Open faced bagel with lots of avocado ( )Everything tasted fresh however the avocado needed to be salted other than it was good. My husband ordered the bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and he said it was delicious - it's looked awesome.I look forward to trying out their other bagels and schmears !

We were in the area recently and saw the newly opened bagel place. We had to try it for breakfast the next weekend. We loved the open interior, the service was friendly.We got the Bacon, Egg & Cheese on Spicy Everything bagel, and the Ham, Egg & Cheese on Spicy Everything Bagel. I loved the Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwich. The Ham sandwich was okay. The bagels were excellent.

I'm hoping this is just a one-time incident in dealing with rude staff and bagels that are not ready when the shop opens. I visited Rubenstein Bagels to pick up a bagel sandwich to eat for later as I was going to work out nearby, and it was not at all the same Rubenstein Bagels as the one in South Lake Union. I was happy to learn that Rubenstein Bagels opened a location on the Eastside as I've eaten at its South Lake Union location and the turkey sandwich was bomb. Hoping to get another turkey sandwich for later, I visited Rubenstein Bagels right at 7am when it supposedly opened, and it was not open. I waited for about five minutes until one of the employees saw me outside the entrance and it wasn't as if she quickly came to the door to let me in. She literally saw me then started saying something to the other employee, then walked to a different area of the shop, still talking to the employee, and then came to the door. Okay... And when she opened the door to let me in, there was no greeting. She literally just opened the door for me without a word. Then when I walked to the counter to place an order and the other employee just looked at me because a greeting would be too much to ask for. Whatever. So I started talking by asking if they would be able to make a turkey sandwich for me even though it was breakfast time. She said yes. Then as I was placing an order, that's when she said that they're still waiting for the bagels to arrive and it'll be about 10 minutes. Okay... So me and two other customers just waited until the bagels came. Another employee came to the counter to take my order as the bagels started to arrive, and I will say, he was definitely much friendlier than the other two employees there. I ordered the turkey sandwich on the jalapeno cheddar bagel. Minutes later, I found out that the jalapeno cheddar is not yet available as it's still baking. At this time, I needed to get to my workout class, so told the employee that I'll just switch up my order for a bagel that's already there - the chocolate cherry with goat cheese and the employee kindly offered to refund me and not charge for the chocolate cherry bagel. Without him, I would've given this place one star. Not the best first impression/visit here to this Redmond location. I have to say, I'm not itching to go back, especially when I can have a much more pleasant experience at Blazing Bagels, which is usually where I get bagels on the Eastside. And quite honestly, it looks like I'll continue doing so.

Our friend orders Door dash from here all of the time so we decided to go in. We had just been to Marymoor dog park so we were happy to see the park across the street with tables that we could eat at with our dogs. We're big fans of their open faced lox bagels with cream cheese, red onion & capers- so AMAZING! So all three of us got an order & also added an iced coffee each to go & headed to the park. The salmon was a generous portion & the cream cheese is just delicious as well as the red onion & capers. The coffees were not so good- we're used to a darker roast & these were watery & flavorless & went in the garage- ugh. The bagels, service & atmosphere deserve solid 5 stars the coffee I'll give a 1. We will be back for the bagels though!

Great open space to sit down and enjoy some bagels. We got the ham, egg & cheese on a spicy everything bagel and an egg & avocado on a rosemary bagel. The sandwiches were good but kind of simple in flavor. They'd be great for an easy no-frills meal though. The rosemary bagel was absolutely delicious and I would come back just for a bag of those. Even though they've built the place with lots of seating and they have a spot to bus your own cups/trash, all the food comes out in one-use containers and paper bags which was a bit disappointing.

TL;DR not a bad bagel shop if you're in the area it's worth a try. I went in during the week day morning and it was quite calm. The staff was friendly but a bit hard to hear. The music inside was a little loud but they had a clean interior. I ordered the mocha and a game and cheese bagel sandwich on a garlic bagel. It wasn't bad but it wasn't fantastic. I thought there was a too much ham compared to the cheese and egg. The taste of the ham was good but just overwhelming so you couldn't really taste anything else. I also got an iced mocha which turned out pretty good. Probably would stop again if I needed something quick as it didn't take long to come out at all.

Very quick service, and all the food was amazing, the diversity in the menu was great , and the feel of the restaurant was very nice. They even had board games to play at your table. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

I've waited for quite sometime to try this place after finding out Redmond was getting one in town.I was very VERY disappointed. The bagels are very small and very little is even placed inside the bagel sandwich (whether it's a breakfast or lunch sandwich) Lots of seating and staff was very kind. The portions were too small and not worth paying $45 for two sandwiches plus a small coffee and bottled orange juice. Back to Blazing Bagels

This place has been on my list and so when the opportunity came, I decided to check it out. They are doing a promotion right now where you buy a bagel sandwich or a bagel you get the second one free of equal or lesser value.The place is nice and parking was pretty easy even though it was street Parking. People are pretty nice and the place is clean. I ended up getting the pastrami sandwich on a garlic bagel and a double down (lox) on an everything bagel as well as a cacio and pepe bagel and a chocolate and cherry bagel.The two sandwiches were ok, on the saltier side in my opinion. It was pretty standard. The bagel was also on the chewier side as well. I also had a piece of the single bagels and although I like the cacio and pepe a lot, the chocolate and cherry was eh.Overall, it was ok, nothing too exciting. I'm glad I tried it.

This was a wholly disappointing bagel experience. The bagels were tough and tasteless, yet somehow also salty. The lox schmear was bland. So disappointing. I guess the search for a decent bagel continues.
