I'm come from the old school boiled bagel, perfectly chewy on the inside, mouth watering crunchy on the outside. I remember my first bagel; I was a kid, it was springtime, and my mom took me to this tiny Jewish bagel bakery in upstate New York. It was a plain bagel, toasted with butter. The experience rendered me silent. All I could do was sit there, chew, and savor the delectable flavors. All these 40 years later and here is the Spielman bagel and me reminiscing with each amazing bite. My tastes have evolved, I'm partial to their salted herb (I go to Fresh Pot for one because their coffee is beyond) but in a pinch the plain is exactly like my childhood memory, there with my mom, wondering how toasted dough could taste so miraculous.
And scene.

Really Popular place. great bagels, unlimited, "bottomless" coffee, solid wifi, customer service & people are good, and plenty of space for mobile work, kids, and groups. Pricing is good starting at 3.00 - 9.00 for bagel sandwiches. Centrally located, easy access, and plenty of street parking that's not metered.

Consistently some of the best bagels in Portland. A little expensive for the bad lattes [fr they need to QC their espresso], but they have the best bagel sandwiches I've had in town. I would like more cream cheese, please, but that is a personal problem and they are probably trying to do my heart a favour. The service here was crazy-slow [compared to their location on Division] about 12-18 months back, but it seemed like they were always understaffed or training new people. I saw a lot of the same faces this time and service was fast despite my order being in the middle of a long rush, so I'm guessing they've found their groove.

Speilmans is a great shop, though a little on the spendy side. But you know what, every time I've been there all the ingredients are fresh and tasty. Why not five stars? The people working there definitely give off the vibe that they are just working a job, I don't think any of them actually like working there.

Great place for a bagel sandwich and bottomless coffee. There are vegetarian options. Very reasonably priced.
