"Two weeks ago, I was talking to a coworker about how we didnt know, or have a go-to bagel shop. Now, problem solved! I absolutely love bagels, and Northwest Bagels is now my go to spot. This new location in downtown Salem is great. The location allows for a lot of parking, and there is a very welcoming vibe to it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. And they're adding a gorgeous PNW painting to the interior that fits the vibe perfectly. I ordered a Sea Salt bagel and love it. I would absolutely recommend this spot for those looking for delicious baked goods, or a place to go and work. I did not order a coffee or tea, but, with the bagels as good as they are. I have no doubt their drinks are top tier as well."

"Visiting from the East Coast, stopped by to try their bagels and refresher. I was so impressed!!!! The bagel came out steaming and pillowy soft. And the refresher was honestly the best iced tea I’ve ever had. I’m planning on making sure I stop by again before I fly out."

"The best bagel and cream cheese! We also tried the thick bacon breakfast sammy, delish. Then just as we were getting ready to leave they put out fresh from the oven cookies which were very, very very good. Run, don’t walk."

"Our office had bagels from here bright in for a meeting and they were fantastic, everyone talked about how good they are. We got lox and sides (tomatoes, dill, capers and onions) and three types of cream cheese and it was a feast."

"I’m a sucker for bagels and coffee and Northwest Bagels is one of my new favorite places. We typically drive down through Salem every other week when we are heading to the coast, and this has become our new spot to stop for breakfast along the way. I love getting the B.E.C. with a Tallboy. I’m a slow drinker and being able to take my latte with me on the road is great. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, and the staff is always friendly. I highly recommend stopping by and getting yourself a fresh bagel and some coffee!"
