Great coffee, even better bagel! I got a latte and a rainbow bagel with cream cheese. This coffee and bagel spot is comfortable, open and airy. There are so many different options for your bagel combo, and the service was incredibly fast. My bagel was loaded with cream cheese (I tried the honey + almond infused), and it was very filling! A delicious and chewy bagel too. I highly recommend!
the bagels are montreal-style so don’t expect a typical new york bagel! that being said they are flavorful, loaded with seeds/toppings and freshly baked. they have tons of interesting spreads and bagel flavors! the staff were very nice and prompt about getting my order out. the inside is nice and airy, a good place to sit or study.
The halloumi sandwich is amazing. Coffee is good too. Try the shakshuka for a wholesome lunch. Great place to work or study.
I love Eltana bagels they’re probably the best bagels in Seattle. My favorite is the sesame bagel perfect consistency and bounce
The bagels are good, but the honey almond cream cheese makes them 10 times better. The one problem I have is that it can be a different experience each time, as in the bagels are sometime seem like they were cooked to long. Usually it’s a good experience though. Last time I went, the bagels were vary good. My parents from California love to go out for bagels and said the cream cheese from here is some of the best they have had. My ratings on their cream cheeses are as follows: 1. Honey Almond 2. Lemon & Dill 3. Olive & Herb 4. Pomegranate Berry
This was a happen stance, need for a bagel 🥯 sandwich. That turned into the finding of one of my new favorite places in Seattle! The food was Amazing 🤩, the space is Great and the coffee was delicious! I will be back to try many more Great looking sandwiches.
Got the rainbow bagel with almond honey cream cheese. Very good, a bit too much cream cheese for me but still delicious. The picture is after id scraped half of the cream cheese off.
The atmosphere is industrial but cozy. There is a good variety of bagels to choose from and many different toppings. I love the large amount of cream cheese they put and the flavor of the bagels. They also have a good variety of drinks that go well with their yummy bagels. I highly recommend stopping in and trying a fresh bagel.
Eltana is such a gem in Capitol Hill! The bagels were absolutely delicious, perfectly chewy with great flavor, and the overall vibe of the shop was really nice and welcoming. It does get a little busy, and parking in the area can be tricky, but it’s 100% worth it once you’re inside with a fresh bagel in hand. One thing I really loved is that they offer the Hidden 36 menu, which lets you purchase a meal for a family in need. Such a thoughtful program that makes enjoying your meal feel even more meaningful. Definitely recommend stopping by for great bagels, a good atmosphere, and a chance to support a place that also gives back to the community.
Ive been staring at this place for years and finally started coming in this year. The first visit, I tried a wheat sesame bagel with honey almond cream cheese. It was divine. Today I took my time and built my own bagel. The bagels are so perfect with just the right amount of chewyness and crunch, unlike most overwhelmingly chewy bagels. I LOVE the generous amount of cream cheese! That is the only way to enjoy a bagel imo. I'm excited to try the Shakshuka next.
