"One of Seattle’s best bagel shops is readying a second location not far from University Village. Backyard Bagel made a name for itself in Fremont for their crackly beauties, solid schmears, and great coffee. Their new place will compete with the likes of Hey Bagel for U Village breakfast supremacy." - gabe guarente
"The hot bagel shop that opened in Fremont last year is expanding with a second location at 4520 Union Bay Place near University Village (the space was until recently a General Porpoise doughnut shop). The shop wrote on Instagram: "We weren’t planning on it but this opportunity was too good to pass up," indicating it would open in the next few months after staffing up." - Harry Cheadle
"The crackly rings of bouncy yeasted dough at this Fremont counter are game-changing, and yet, it’s not annoying to get one (for now). Backyard Bagel’s snaking line progresses quickly, food flies out in less than five minutes, and the excellent coffee drinks—featuring Stamp Act beans—are not afterthoughts. There’s a beautiful simplicity in chewy everything bagels stuffed with whipped scallion schmear, eaten at one of the little indoor bistro tables inside. But don’t count out The Cali Crisp, a vegan sandwich full of avocado mash, bright corn salsa, and just enough Kari Kari chili crisp to tickle the sinuses." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"The crackly rings of bouncy yeasted dough at this Fremont counter are game-changing, and yet, it’s not too annoying to get one (for now). Backyard Bagel’s snaking line progresses relatively quickly, food flies out in less than five minutes, and they're not skimpy on the lox. For purists, there’s a beautiful simplicity in chewy everything bagels stuffed with whipped scallion schmear. But don’t count out The Cali Crisp, a vegan sandwich full of avocado mash, bright corn salsa, pickled onion, summer tomatoes, and just enough Kari Kari chili crisp to tickle the sinuses. The only catch? Sell-out happens around 11:30am, so don’t sleep through that Sunday alarm." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"This onetime pop-up (under the name Aaron’s Bagels) has grown up into a storefront that serves warm, soft-but-still-satisfyingly-springy bagels alongside a lineup of creative schmears (are you more of a honey raisin person, or a capers and dill?). Backyard’s superpower is that it bakes bagels by the hour rather than baking them all at once and then toasting them, guaranteeing you a fresh bagel... unless they sell out, which can happen. This is a bagel you need to plan your day around." - Harry Cheadle
