Try out the ham, egg, and hash brown on a crispy jalapeño bagel — and look out for a permanent Beacon Hill location coming soon.

🥯 Rubinstein Bagels | 2121 Sixth Ave., Seattle | Rubinstein serves sourdough-made, hand-rolled bagels using local, organic flour. Be sure to try the salted rosemary bagel with herb and garlic schmear — and note there's longer distance delivery on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
