Atomic Bagels: Reviews & Ratings
I can't recommend Atomic Bagel enough! This was the perfect stop before a hike in the national park. Expect to get your bagels to-go and eat outside or on your next adventure as the space is pretty small. The bagels are chewy & are a classic New York style. My partner and I both loved the Bacon Scallion cream cheese & Roasted Garlic & Red Pepper. An added bonus was offering Stumptown coffee & cold brew! The staff were incredibly friendly and started our morning off on a high note.
The bagel flavors and schmear are giving big city offerings in this little peninsula town on the coast. The bummer is that they're only open on the weekends but it gives you something to look forward to if you are indeed living on this small remote area in the low season and aren't obsessing over the nature anymore. There isn't much to this storefront so you could eat these here but most likely it's gonna be a takeaway situation. There is some outdoor seating in this downtown area if the weather is nice.
I'm such a bagel girly; I'm very happy I stopped by. The employees were super sweet and helpful, it was my first time. I highly recommend! Please know I'm a very picky person and I was left satisfied. This was a sesame bagel with plain cream cheese We ended up going back to get some cookies and they were delicious, reminded me of my childhood. THE BEST!
Great Bagels, finally got up early and went, just wish I could know if they're sold out! It's a long drive from Dungeness! M.Crab
Hannah has opened another bomb business. These bagels are fantastic - and not just "best you can get on the peninsula" good. They would be fan favorites in any city. She already made delicious mini donuts at electric cloud. Now, to get your hands on the special cookies that appear, you have to arrive before 9 AM. The bagels are usually pretty standard to the typical menu, but the cream cheese changes week to week, depending on what is in season. Check the Atomic Bagel instagram on Friday evenings for a post about this week's flavors. Don't be deterred by a line out the door. It's a small shop and the line moves quickly. Highly recommend as a must try on any weekend trip to Port Angeles!
Sun dried tomato bagel with cream cheese. We enjoyed them greatly. We snagged the last 2 bagels! Staff were super lovely and vibes were on point. Would have definitely eaten more if they had; so we are excited to go back and try more if their flavours.
Finally made it in to the famous Atomic Bagels in the heart of Port Angeles, the other Angeles of my heart. Got the Hatch Cheddar with Porcini sea salt cream cheese and capers Add-on for .50. Their bagels are all fresh, hand tossed, and boiled which is amazing. Got here about 11 and all the Plain and Jalapeño cheddar bagels were sold out. Upon first bite, the bagel itself was the perfect amount of chewy and crisp while the porcini cream cheese was rich, cheesy, and creamy with the right burst of brightness from my baby capers. Will definitely be checking on times to get out here again. Do NOT SLEEP on these muchieworthy bagels. Service is excellent and top notch. Ambiance is casual hipster retro vibes.
Finally remembered to come check this bagel shop out on Sunday! They are only opened on Sundays...for now. It's a small location and not a lot of room for people inside, more just to be able to order and stand/sit and wait. They have an assortment of bagel flavors and I got their hatch cheddar, so cheddar on top of the bagel mixed with hatch green chili peppers. I got mine with their smoked salmon cream cheese and it was delicious! They warmed it up and even cut the cheddar bagel I also ordered with nothing in it. Not sure the feasibility of having the peppers throughout the dough, but might be a good option? I appreciated that they put a generous amount of cream cheese spread on the bagel! It was delicious! Definitely would recommend getting their earlier to when they open at 8am. By the time I got there around 10:15am, they were out of the blackberry and honey cream cheese and were waiting on cooking a few bagel flavors. I'd love to come back and try some more flavors and hopefully they might add a fruit bagel, like the classic blueberry!
