It was convenient to the hospital, and since I couldn’t hang in the ER this was a great place to post up - tasty breakfast bagel (the lox, made exactly to my request) it was ready but still fresh when I got there, staff was friendly. Only downside (and NOT their fault, just) is that it IS right on a major road, so it’s noisy so I probably wouldn’t go there for a social thing. But it worked great for me to just sit in my car and watch traffic, pick up some wifi and wait for the call to get back to the hospital. Will absolutely return 👍

So I have not had a great experience with seize the bagel.I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but this time I have to say something. I have made many purchases throughout the year in hope that they could get my order right. I have made at least 10 purchases and not one time have they gotten my order correct. Its a shame because its a good place to grab a quick lunch but I dont recommend if you want your order exactly how you want it. This time specifically I ordered Avocado slices and paid for them just to open my sandwich at the airport and see no avocado.

Not bad, nice little cafe style bagel house.The toasted, japaneo bagel with cream cheese was $3.5, pretty sure it wasnt made today, but thats okay.The cakes looked bomb, the chocolate coffee cake I will try next time.Overall not bad, but like I said the bagel didnt taste fresh like they just made it, and if your names seize the bagel, then it should be freshly made daily.

Just put one because It cant put 0. We were there today 3:40ish more than a quarter minutes before closing. My daughter was on line like 10 minutes.The employee just completely ignore her. She was washing something or I dont know. I know it was almost close to closing time.. but at least aknowledge us and have the courtesy to say anything. We left there without she aknowledge our visit. Crazy. It was like 7 minutes before 4:00 closing time.

Very nice local shop. The place was very clean and the folks were fast and courteous. The bagels looked and tasted delicious and their lox sandwich with an Asiago bagel did not disappoint.

Really disappointed. This was my first time trying out this shop. The Bagels were excellent but the drink I ordered was messed up twice, even after I went back and told them they had messed it up the first time they still got it wrong the second round. I just gave up after that. The workers were really friendly though. Maybe it was just an off day or new employee?

Delicious!! I had the south of the Border sandwich on a Jalapeño cheddar bagel. Excellent portion of chicken. Delicious Jalapeño cream cheese. Not too much lettuce. And the bagel was fabulous. It had excellent flavor and toppings with a wonderful, dense texture, that was not super chewy like commercial bagels. 😀Great and friendly service too. My friend loved her bagel sandwich too.

I’ve ordered from here again and again, no matter what or how big or small my order is there is always something missing from my order. Employees need to read over the order and make it the way it’s put down. I ordered my degan sandwich today and adddd avocado, onions and patty and when I got it, it had none of those things on it. I love seize the bagel but this location needs to work on paying attention instead of just getting you out the door.

We seemed to have the opposite experience of most people - the employees were very friendly and prompt, but the food... oh, the food would make any New Yorker weep. I think the eggs were precooked and reheated in the microwave, and then plopped onto the bagel. And the bagels themselves... We tried 4 different types, and they all could only be described as FLAVORLESS SOFT BREAD. Definitely not a bagel -- there is no way they were boiled before baking. Such a shame since this seems to be a popular chain, and their bagels are terrible!

Ordered here many times and it’ll be the last. Messed up most of the order, the quality of food isn’t great at all anymore. This location is a total bust. My recommendation, go to the location next to chucks.

My partner and I had a dozen of their bagels delivered from Doordash. Everything we received is delicious. The bagels have a great chew to them, and toasted the next day, theyre still perfect. In addition, they threw in a chocolate peanut butter cookie and a smores cupcake...like they know me or something! We loved everything.

Other chains take note: this is how you do a vegan menu. By keeping a few key ingredients (honestly they have more than necessary, which I appreciate) it opens up the entire menu to vegans and ppl who want to skip animal products that meal/try something new. Im not here for New York style bagles (its a chain, ppl). I just want a big, cheap breakfast sando piled up with a BUNCH of fun stuff. The breakfast calzone was stuffed to the max and 6 BUX!That amount of sausage, just egg and cheese would cost $14 here across the bridge.

Favorite place to have breakfast in Washington state, its a must, always people in the place cus its such a nice place just to hang. They are super fast in delivering orders and bunch of probabilities to choose. Cinammon delight with honey walnut its a classic among others (tomato basil, vanilla, chocolate chip, jalapeño cheddar, etc.) They also always put a bunch of cream cheese on it so that is super thumbs up.

My husband and I LOVE the Degan Breakfast eggel. The hit n spicy bagel is so darn good, not too spicy but enough there to be perfect. The tomato herb cream cheese is to die for as well. The whole sandwich is amazing. We’ve ordered the breakfast calzone but it wasn’t nearly as good, but still yummy: the fresh squeezed orange juice is OMG delicious! On to the vanilla chai. I don’t drink coffee so I go for chai lattes and this is my favorite chai out there. I knew an old coffee shop in battle ground that carried this chai and I was bummed after I moved to Vancouver that I couldn’t find it anywhere else, UNTIL I found it here at seize the bagel! We will be trying other sandwiches and bagels but the degan is just so good, we haven’t wanted to switch it up yet. Thank you for the excellent food and drinks!

This was our second time checking out the food and the first time at this location. There are thoughtful touches to the restaurant to adhere to public safety which I appreciated. The lady serving us was nice and helped us picked out a sandwich. The bagels are great and I was really surprised that the iced coffee was better than Black Rock! Overall a great lunch, safe and friendly workers! Welcome to the neighborhood!

In a time where leaving your house seems like a questionable adventure, amongst a growing collective of people in fear of exploring public places, let me reassure you that Seize the Bagel’s Heights location in planet fitness plaza, is nothing short of delicious, welcoming, inviting and above-expectancy-friendly. Very clean and very quick service, they also have a great selection of alternative milks and cream cheeses, amongst the plethora of options to choose from on their variety filled menu. You will notice too, that the presentation and marketing strategies are both in sync with top notch branding, you won’t be disappointed with your experience here! Do yourself a favor and try the everything bagel with an iced hazelnut vanilla latte. Support your locally owned and operated businesses!

My girlfriend has ordered twice from this place through Door Dash and both times our orders have been wrong with missing items. Very unprofessional, bagels are okay but overpriced. Whoever’s taking care of the door dash orders clearly aren’t looking at the order receipts.

Review №37

Youll like the bagels in this place. I assume it because of the sea they use Im making them. They spell sea funny, but it was because of a copyright suit awhile back, and you can ignore that.They also make coffee, and have one of the friendliest staffs on the planet. All of whom deserve large raises.

I love this place. Really good bagels and really good everything. But over the past few months I’ve only been getting cream cheese on one side of the bagel. This has happened 5+ times. So I’ve been going less, but otherwise they’re really great.

Review №44

Yummy breakfast and lunch bagels. Breakfast bagels served all day. Seize the Bagel is unpretentious, with simple decor. Utilitarian rather than cozy, but great for a filling and tasty meal. Inexpensive and fresh, with good bagels. Parking is free and entrance is strip mall standard so wheelchair accessible and roomy for maneuverability. Also good for kids and groups. I dont recall any alcohol and really, bagels arent the best pairing for wine but good coffee and tea and sodas. No all-you-can-eat.

Really yummmy bagel sandwiches! I took some raspberry cream cheese home, and it was very fluffly (like a whipped cream cheese) and no berry chunks. I would prefer the classic cream cheese texture and where I can actually taste the berry. Just a preference tho. Great service! Will be back!

Hands down, the best bagels in Vancouver, WA. The service has always been great. Their menu has the perfect touch of variety. My go to is the everything bagel + creme cheese, but you can’t go wrong with their breakfast bagel sandwiches. The Degen sandwich is awesome!I’m glad to support a local chain that truly cares about the quality of their product! 👊🏼

I love it here. Lots of different varieties of bagels and cream cheese. My personal favorite is the olive cream cheese, so very good. Theres also a cool little play area for kids in the corner of this the restaurant if you bring the whole family. It is also a somewhat quiet place if you wanted to have a casual business meeting with a few workers. Been here many times and will continue to keep going back.

Fantastic place of a bagel. The staff treat you like family. They have a large selection of fresh bagels and sandwich options as well as pastries. You can get excellent specialty coffees, or if on a budget, their regular coffee is pretty good. The atmosphere is uplifting, clean and accommodating. You wont be sorry you went.

Over priced. Its good but over priced. They charged my over $15 for a bagel, chips and coffee. I couldve made it myself for all under $5. Its fine whatever. Wont go there again I know that for sure unless if I have money just coming out of my bank and wallet.

Seize The Bagel is always a great choice for breakfast. A lovely selection of bagels or other breakfast treats. A wide selection of flavors for cream cheeses. Definitely a nice option to have a unique or normal breakfast depending on your choice, while relaxing in their dining area! One of my favorite breakfast spots. Service is always quick and friendly. Food is always tasty and to perfection.

Review №58

I really love this place and theyve always had such a great selection of tasty food. Probably 25 different kinds of sweet and savory bagels, bialys, sandwiches, muffins, cookies and even salads and mixed veggies. Unfortunately it seems like the service has taken a bit of a dive, the employees seem to be a little burned out and some of the people who used to be smiling seem to be walking on eggshells. Maybe leave them a nice tip or tell them what a good job theyre doing and this place will be more welcoming in the future 🤞

This legit is my wife’s favorite place. She’s always craving it. They have some amazing bagels. Snickerdoodle Bagel with Apple Cinnamon Spread! It’s so good! They’re decently priced and they definitely don’t skimp out on the cream cheese. The workers are very friendly and energetic as well! LOVE IT!!!

Review №63

Place is okay, I got the Degan with caramelized onion and I ordered it through doordash. When I received my order I noticed my bagel was really oily. Probably from the carmelized onions. Some of the onions were tough to chew on as well. Also the ham, it didnt taste like it was fully cooked. I also noticed how big the menu is. I feel as though it needs to be more simplified. Restaurants with large menus doesnt ensure the quality of the food from what Ive experienced.

Review №64

Great local bagel shop. Tons of selection. I’ve only been here a few times but it’s always good. I do prefer the bagels with cream cheese or PBJ over the bagel sandwiches, but that just might be me. If you want a really affordable breakfast, this is your place. Great spot for 30-45 minute breakfast meetings.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. If youre craving just a bagel and cream cheese, the price is great! Awesome assortment of bagels and other baked goods. Sandwiches are great and love that they have fresh juice. Their new location is very nice. There may be a longer line in the mornings, but it moves quickly. I admire the speed of service they provide with no loss in quality.

Review №71

This was our 3rd and last time going to this place. Their customer service is horrible. My suggestion is that you should alway check your order if it’s to go. They usually use the wrong cream cheese or don’t mark the bagels if they have different cream cheese so when you get back to the office it becomes a guessing game as what is what and don’t bother asking them to cut the bagel in half because they won’t. There 30 people in our office and we all have had issues when ordering to go

I love this place. Great bagel sandwiches! My only thing is that I dont care for their dark italian roast espresso, thats just my preference though.

This is an excellent bagel establishment. Service was excellent, the quality of the ingredients and assembly was as well. In addition they have a descent selection of coffees which taste great. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because it gets a bit busy towards the middle of the day, and it can be hard to get in-and-out if you’re in a hurry.

We travel far to get here and we try to get here at least once or twice a month. This is by far the friendliest, most comfortable and most delicious bagel & coffee shop for miles around! There are three of us who enjoy a variety of bagels+schmear, bagel sandwiches with plain drip coffee. The service is always friendly, helpful and prompt. The coffee is always hot and the bagels always delicious. One time in over a dozen the coffee was kind of weak, but they got right on that and ten minutes later we had amazing drip once again. I could not be happier. Wish the drive was a little shorter, but at least it is pretty.

Friendly staff. Good menu. Good bagel sandwiches. The bagels are a little more on the bread side than authentic chewy bagels. Also, its breakfast sandwhiches made with love... and microwaves. Not short order cook kitchen breakfast sandwiches. Still, better than the alternatives in Vancouver. Been eating there for years and keep eating there for a reason.

Their selection of vegan options is excellent and the employees seem to understand the difference between vegan and non-vegan food. The food tastes great and the fresh-squeezed juice is also very good. I did order the vegan tomato herb bagel thinking I would be receiving a bagel with (vegan) cream cheese, tomatoes, and herbs (i.e. basil), but instead I received a vegan with a tomato and herb cream cheese spread. I was slightly disappointed given that some of their other bagels are much more complex and exciting, but it was still very good.
