Howdy Bagel

Bakery · Tacoma

"Who knew that one of Tacoma’s most happening queer spaces would turn out to be a bagel shop? This DARLING bakery is festooned in Western kitsch with an LGBTQ undercurrent — notably their sexy cowpoke pinup logo, with one thigh slung through a giant bagel. Howdy’s bagels are chewy with a tight crumb and a glossy carapace, and their sandwiches are both delicious and highly Instagrammable, like the gooey pastrami egg and cheese and the Grit City (that’s Tacoma!) Lox." - Meg van Huygen, Sue Kidd
