Howdy Bagel Review - Tacoma - Seattle - The Infatuation
"Howdy Bagel opened in mid-2023 to a ton of hype, and the line hasn’t died down since. But it moves quickly, the buzz and excitement are infectious, and you’ll be happily devouring your bagel with the chatty new friends you made in line. The design is a big part of the charm, specifically the queer cowboy logo. The incredible bagels are the main event though: crisp and glossy, with a tight crumb and a chewy texture. Start with a Grit City Lox bagel sandwich that’s stacked with an inch of smoked salmon, along with scallion cream cheese, pickled red cabbage, red onions, sliced cucumber, fresh dill, olive oil, and cracked black pepper. Then, find yourself standing in that same line the next morning." - Meg van Huygen
