Kettleman Bagels and Bakery may not have access to New York City’s tap water (often touted as New York’s secret ingredient), but that doesn’t prevent it from firing up a first-rate New York-style bagel. Boiled in oversized kettles and baked on a stone hearth, these bagels satisfy with a crisp exterior and a tender, chewy center.

If the behemoth wood-fired oven of Tastebud Farm escapes your notice, just look for the line snaking down the street at the Portland or Hillsdale farmers’ markets. Tastebud Farm turns out one of the best bagels in town, so get there early! Sip a cup of hot fennel-spiced apple cider while you wait, and enjoy the pleasures of a Pacific Northwest fall moment.

Kenny and Zuke’s Delicatessen is now building a permanent space in the downtown Ace Hotel sometime this fall and will feature Michael Zusman’s bagels. Zusman sells his bagels occasionally at the Portland Farmers Market on Saturdays, but they go quick. Often called the best in Portland, buy them if you see them. You won’t regret it.
