Rubinstein Bagels Eastlake

Decided to start my morning off today with a bagel from Rubinstein after a coworker had recommended the place (thanks Matt!) and was not disappointed! I ordered the open faced lox on jalapeno cheddar bagel and it was delightful. The bagel was fluffy with not too heavy cream cheese spread. The Lox and Capers were also of high quality and tasted fresh. I also got a cup of drip coffee and it was very aromatic. Finished it off with some complementary ice cold water and I was satisfied. I'd recommend coming here to start your morning and perhaps ask for your bagel to be extra toasty!

Enjoyed a big bagel breakfast sandwich at this cute convenient spot! The staff were extra friendly and helpful. The espresso was great and the bagel was yummy with Lox smear!

I am so excited to have a great bagel place in my neighborhood! I got the bagel with lox and my husband got the bagel breakfast sandwich with chorizo. They were both excellent. We also picked up bagels to take home. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

I love Rubinstein’s, and the new Eastlake location is pretty nice. I do wish there were more comfortable seating options (it’s all stools), but they have really great drip coffee and bagels. It’s a bit quieter than the SLU location, so it seems like a good spot to work for a few hours. My go to is the sesame bagel with fried onion & chive schmear; highly recommend! The bagel is big and the schmear thick, so it’s a good portion. The value is very good too; it’s less than $10 for (good) coffee and a meal, which is tough to find in this area unless you get a smaller pastry.

Purchased a bag via 2 Good To Go only to be told they ran out of food when I arrived. An understandable explanation but why wasn't this communicated? Sucked to have lost my time driving here for this

Great bagels but they’re constantly running out of them. I wouldn’t count on getting the bagels you’re looking for anytime after lunch.

Dynamic offerings for a bagel shop, very quick, and delicious! Baristas were kind and efficient.

So happy to have this in the neighborhood! Great bagels and the breakfast bagel sandwiches are fantastic. Super friendly staff and really good coffee too!

first meal of 2025 - delicious everything bagel, properly toasted, with GREAT vegan cream cheese and lots of it. idk what's up with the other reviews this place is good.

3.75 stars. My colleague wanted to try this place out so we took a walk down Eastlake to check it out. Very small cafe. Though it's technically inside of a building so while it's open to public it's small to cater to the business. One person taking orders and making them so service was a little slow. $3.25 for a bagel + $2.25 for schmear so my cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese was $6.07. Bagel was toasted by default. Bagel also had both light and dark raisins which was a little unexpected. Seems a little pricey so don't know when/if will return.

We usually go to Rubinstein's SLU on 6th Ave a few blocks from where we live. My husband put in an online order but made a mistake and it was for the new Eastlake location. No big deal, we get in the car, drive over, pick it up and go home to enjoy our order at home, or so I thought I would. Now here is where the "so I thought" part comes in. I open my everything with herb & scallion (my go-to), to find the most ridiculously sad small amount of schemer (see photo)I have ever gotten. I my husband made one mistake in ordering so I double checked our recipe to make sure he didn't mark "lite schemer" and he did not. So, whomever running this location needs to train up your people because I for sure know I did not get my moneys worth.

Staff were very nice but bagels were just alright. Small and overpriced but still didn't wow me. Location is great for nearby offices in SLU. The store is spacious and empty. Storefront is at the corner of the new glass building that everyone driving on I5 would surely have said who the heck approved that to be built there (only tall building on Eastlake obstructing the beautiful view of lake union for every passerby). But I digress.

Been looking for a good bagel shop in Seattle and this was a great find! Great bagels and customer service!
