Love their pesto spread… I just wish there was more consistency in the recipe. I prefer smooth well blended spread, rather than chunks of walnut or green stringy (chives?) bits in my bagel. The atmosphere is always welcoming, just excited for the growth to a consistent spread, rather than throwing away crunchy ones.
This place is very cute! It has old maps/art, open exposed brick and big green plants bringing in a very indie aesthetic. The customer service is wonderful and kind that creates a small town appeal. One star off for the food being very mid and average but would totally recommend for the experience!
We love going here on Saturdays before the Corvallis Farmers Market. They have great bagels and coffee. Never had a bad experiences. They certainly keep everything clean and the employees provide solid service. We always see regulars there, so it shows that people keep coming back. My favorite is a Salt Bagel Toasted w/ Cream Cheese... and sometimes add Lox. Love it here, see you next week.
Good bagels and dining space. Good service and coffee. Some other baked goods and gluten free muffins.
Fresh, tasty bagels and bagel sandwiches! Great coffee and cookies too. My go to sandwich is the smoked turkey, but the lox, The Crux (veggie) and albacore are favorites also. Try the Crux with the Veggie Delight spread :)This is a great space to sit and eat, meet with friends, or find a corner to read. Right across 1st Street from Riverfront Park! Plenty of parking out front.
Really appreciated the Kinetic Bagel catering trays for a recent post-wedding brunch we hosted. Greg created exactly what we were expecting including lox, red onions, tomatoes and truly authentic bagels. Spreads were also good. Highly recommend!!
Perfect, chewy bagels. Lox were excellent. Be sure to specify if you want the bagel toasted.
Well, the bagels made here are everything you want to experience in a bagel. Crunchy on the outside, chewey on the inside, with a certain sweetness and a satisfying burst of flavor. Its a combination of texture and taste that illuminates the senses. And the Kinetic Bagel Institute does it all, with flair, refinement, kindness, and love. If youre looking for a great bagel, this is the place to go because its not just about eating good bagels, its about the awe and wonder of participating in a great bagel adventure!
Real boiled bagels! Fresh and delicious, these bagels are the bomb! Chewy perfection. Ive had the lox (with the works) and the walnuts and raisin topped. Its all about the salt bagel with me, but they all look so shiny wonderful good! Do go here. These be Bagels. For reals.
After eating a near lifetime of bagels that have the texture and taste of stale bread (from the grocery store, Franz...), I was excited to try a bagel shop that actually advertised as boiled and baked.This was my first and only trip so far, so I didnt try a lot, but I can say the plain bagel was DELICIOUS! It was a fair bit crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside -- probably the way any bagel connoisseur would describe the perfect bagel. The cream cheese was generously applied (Id would actually prefer a bit less).I also had a mocha that was a nice pairing. I cant wait to go back.
Such a cool space with amazingly attentive staff. The cookies are something dreams are made of. You got a try the peanut butter Captain Crunch cookie. The Fire Sticks are also really yummy.
Delicious! I can’t stop myself from getting these most days on the way to work. Always a great way to start my day! My favorite is their lox on a salt bagel!
This is hands down the best bagel place around. Their bagels are made fresh and are delicious. I have tried many of the different flavor options (all good), but my go to is the salt bagel with pesto cream cheese - so good. They add the perfect amount of spread for my liking. In additional to a bagel and spread, they have sandwiches and plenty of other topping choices.There is an option for everyone.My favorite thing about Kinetic Bagel is the consistency - I have never had a bad experience here. They do a great job every time and that is really hard to say about a lot of businesses. Help support a local business and treat yourself to a bagel!
Friendly service, tasty bagels, can’t ask for more! A great spot for a grab-and-go lunch, or to dine-in in their big seating area.
Had a fantastic albacore bagel today. Great place to enjoy your meal. Excellent customer service.
So, Im going with 5 stars because the bagel is the star of the show. These are consistently delicious and are a superior product. All that goodness aside for a min, my lovely wife and I strolled in today late morning for a couple of breakfast style bagels. I ordered the smart Alec on a jalapeño bagel and she ordered the albacore tuna on a salt bagel. We even watched our bagel chef grab the wrong bagel, and before he prepared it, said. hey, i ordered a jalapeño! He said. yea you did but never corrected his error. I probably wouldnt have reviewed today, except that my wife got the lox and cream cheese instead of the albacore tuna. All that said, in both cases the product was excellent as always. she loved the lox, and I loved the pesto. Both were great, that is save for the accuracy of our order.
As a young kid growing up in Brooklyn New York (over 70 years ago) I recall local bagel shops in every neighborhood… Five cents a bagel! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside… Just like you will find at kinetic bagels! Although The price has gone up a bit, the size and authentic quality are still there when you have one of these excellent treats at this somewhat out of the way establishment near the highway 34 bridge crossing the river. If you haven’t made your way here, you are missing one of the GREAT food experiences that Corvallis has to offer in these troubled times. Take it from someone who knows what a real bagel is and make a point of stopping and enjoying these totally authentic NY style bagels.
Not pictured: the gluten free pumpkin muffin which was promptly devoured. No time for a picture! Their lox bagel was delicious; I had it on an everything bagel (it really was everything, they dont skimp on the bagel toppings!). The people were very nice and sweet. We came just a couple of days after they officially opened. Theyve got coffee in addition to the bagels so its a nice breakfast spot. Not super spendy either, and theyve got a bagel choice for everyone. Im excited to go back!
I grew up in New Jersey where there were many fine Jewish bakeries with great bagels( one of the few things I missed from there) After 40+ years of living here I finally found a true, delicious bagel!If you want the real experience DONT TOAST IT! and enjoy with cream cheese and or lox.Thank you for such great bagels!🤗
Enjoyable visit, just a quick take out and the bagels are always good. Unfortunately the hummus spread wasnt as tasty as we hoped for, mainly just a slight taste of garlic and thats it, so wont be going for that again. The veggie spread was ok, but again, nothing to write home about, better then the hummus tho. We will just keep it to buying a couple bagels when we stop by instead of anything else. The bagels dont disappoint :)
Always amazing, would recommend
The hand down have the best bagels in the area, and their spreads are amazing.
This was one of my favorite spots for lunch so many years ago when I was in High School. Sadly they closed for some years BUT now they are back and as good as ever!! I am so excited that Kinetic Bagel is open again and I can share it with my kids now! The bagels are as good as I remember, the new location is far better! A fantastic place to enjoy some tasty food. I highly recommend stopping in!
What a great space! Open, light, clean. Plenty of seating (safely distances, or course.) Large menu on the wall as you enter. Order and pay at the counter. Enjoy the fresh, delicious house made bagels. Add a spread, make it a sandwich, or take home a bag of day olds. Reasonably priced and very filling. This will be a regular stop from now on!
This place sells great, chewy bagels!! Period! They are always fresh, and all the flavors are just like you expect.The location is great, with lots of room in a relaxed atmosphere. They have made very good adaptations to the Covid pandemic, and it feels safe and comfortable to buy food there. Highly recommend!!
Great REAL bagels made on site. We order the bagel, lox, cream cheese with tomato, onion, capers, green onions on their everything bagel. Yum! Many varieties of bagels available-- onion, garlic, jalapeno, etc. Good value for the money.
Fantastic authentic New York style bagels. Just like bagels ought to taste!Good selection of bagels and creams cheeses. Good Coffee and friendly staff. Love the space and vibe as well.Will definitely return. Highly recommend!
I really wanted to love this beautiful little shop but both our bagels were very hard and chewy like they were stale. Great toppings and very generous but a little overkill on the onion with both red onion and spring onion. Friendly staff and good coffee but if your main thing is bagels then the bagels have to be good. Bummer.
Space is awesome, coffee is good, bagels are dope... They should add a standard veggie bagel sandwich with cream cheese though
Creative toppings on really good bagels is a warm atmosphere, will be a regular. Highly recommended.
Delicious bagels and I love their vegetable cream cheese spread!!
Truly such wonderful flavor and texture in everything I have tried. The vegan options are especially outstanding, the muffin was perfection. The windows and seating area are very charming and open. Love everything about this place!
Really great, chewy bagels, generous toppings, and nice coffee. For those wondering they can toast your bagel - just ask! Would love to see a dairy-free cream cheese option in the future, but they have great hummus as a dairy-free spread.
Amazing bagels with a really friendly staff. Its a great place to get in and out of if you are in a hurry but also has an amazing lobby if you want to sit and read or chat with friends. Their spreads are amazing and the ability to customize your topics is great.
There wasn’t as rich a variety of bagel flavors as I have seen in other shops, and the menu was very eccentric. If you are a vegan, or a foodie I’m sure this place is great, but if your lookin for a breakfast bagel, or anything with meat this isn’t the place for you.
So wonderful! I truly love their bagels and the delicious toppings on them! They give you so many toppings and put so much cream cheese. The employees are also very kind and take care what you ask for! Will be coming here many more times!
Good variety of bagels, lots of cream cheese and other savory toppings, like vegetables meats, etc. Also have coffee and coffee beverages available. This will quickly become a must-visit breakfast or brunch stop!
I stumbled on this little place and decided to give it a try. I ordered a cream cheese, tomato and onion bagel and it was without a doubt the BEST begal I have ever had. I cannot wait to go back!
Welcome back to Corvallis. But I dont remember olives in The Crucial? As to your bagels: they are very close to the ones that I remember from growing up in New York. I like them
Delicious bagels and coffee! I love the veggie delight cream cheese. Open and spacious seating area. A welcome addition to downtown Corvallis!
Always my favorite. Glad to see the kinetic Bagel back in town.
My wife only had good things to say about her jalapeno bagel (not super spicy but had some hear still) my everything bagel was also excellent! The space has a nice clean, homey atmosphere with a touch of an industrial vibe
Excellent bagels and cream cheese spreads! COVID hours are 8am - 2pm, I think
Good Bagels, good people, really good airpot coffee and plenty of light coming in the large windows. Cinnamon raisin bagels have a very unique flavor.
Bagels are on the small side and could use more toppings, but the basic flavor and texture is good. Ive definitely had worse in NYC.
Great customer service. Great Bagel with Siracha cream cheese. Server (Adam) was very friendly!
Great bagels, boiled like they should be. They all come loaded with delicious toppings and spreads.
Good atmosphere, open space alot of natural lighting, cool old building. Good bagel, nice chew, but a little small. The spread options are good, and the Lox was good. Overall a big plus for corvallis and I will be returning.
Amazing spot. The people were great. Will be our go to spot when we visit Corvallis!
I decided to give 3/5 starts for Kinetic Bagel today because of a couple things throughout my experience. One star was removed because of the FDA restrictions or lack thereof. I placed my order- a couple bagels and one with pesto spread. It was typed into their iPad POS system and then promptly started preparing the order, hands first into the bagels after touching a screen that is statistically more dirty than a toilet seat. I noticed paper was used sometimes to pick up other orders, just not being enforced strongly which I hope will be a quick fix. I also would prefer the option to toast a bagel if so desired. Overall I am very glad that kinetic bagel has returned, I hope traffic and their standards increase soon as they have very yummy spreads.
Was really excited for good bagels, unfortunately a big disappointment. Small, very hard. I wouldnt recommend.
Who needs Starbucks? Support this great local Corvalis business! Love, Love, Love their bagels.
Best bagels in the area. Real bagels.
The everything bagels were loaded with good seasoning, and the fire stick with cream cheese was surprisingly good!
Love it
The bagel selection is mediocre and they are overpriced. When we asked for our bagels toasted the staff were surprised at our request and informed us that their toaster was broken ):the bagels are skinny and not being able to get a toasted bagel was a dissapointment. I didnt try the coffee, so I dont know how that is, but this place seemed quite discombobulated, even for a new restaurant.
I missed out because i thought they opened at 07:00...i will return because i miss them from years ago, we need Kenetic to stay and endure through COV-19 times!
Very spacious, great bagels and toppings, games/books/magazines in lounge.
The bagel place Corvallis has been craving! Great bagels, coffee, and ambiance.
Excellent bagels. Did not know how to make a dry copuchino.
Great place to enjoy the winter morning sun with a bagel and coffee.
Amazing food and exceptional staff. So stoked that Kinetic is back!
I would love to come in and work with them as a process and flow consultant, but otherwise this small little upstart seems to be moving in the right direction.
Amazing bagels and spreads!
