"Beginning in 2011 as a small father-son coffee roasting operation, Spielman Bagels has expanded to four locations across the city — two on the west side and two on the east. Unlike many bagel shops in Portland, Spielman uses a sourdough starter in its dough to achieve a distinctive West Coast tang, giving the bagels a traditional crisp exterior with a tart-fluffy interior that’s complemented by a swipe of cream cheese. The salt and herb bagel has proven to be a customer favorite." - Daniel Barnett, Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Nathan Williams
