Sophie's Bagels

I really wanted to like this sweet place, but it was a huge disappointment. I was appauled to see the bill was $76 for food that I could have made myself at home. We were told that sides come with the sandwiches but we were then charged for them. We all got coffees and/or boba. I love boba, but it was very disgusting. The pearls were more like jelly and it did not taste like normal boba pearls that I would normally get from other locations. The buffalo sandwich lacked flavor and the tomato/mozzarella panini had old spinach thay was starting to become slimy. It also had no sauce at all. Maybe some balsamic just to coat the pallet. The soup was cold. Also, if I am paying $76 dollars, don't use paper plates. We had seen lots of reviews for this place, and made a trip to pendleton just to try

Just off of Main Street in Pendleton, Sophie's Bagels is a nice lunch or coffee/tea option. The shop is in a former 1930's gas service station building neatly refurbished as a coffee and bagel shop but with tasteful hints of the building's former life retained. The decor is pleasantly bohemian and in fine weather, the restaurant opens up to be open air. Quite an interesting layout. The staff is very attentive and helpful from owner Krishna to the rest of the staff. We were made to feel comfortable and at home on our first visit. I had a lox bagel sandwich on a garlic bagel. My friend had a hummus and veggie sandwich on a pumpernickel bagel with some butternut squash soup. The bagels were delicious and the sandwiches looked appealing. The soup was especially good. On a slightly off note,

First time going here. Was a very cute hometown bagel shop. Got a veg out cheddar bagel and turkey bacon bagel. The bagels were so fresh. Little crispy on outside and chewy in the middle. Very friendly and pretty quick. Will be back for breakfast!

Delicious. Breakfast on a Thursday. Service was top-tier; very knowledgeable. Onion bagel with lox was excellent; best lox I've had in this state. Wife had the bubble tea ( SOOOO MANY OPTIONS FOR BUBBLE TEA, truly overwhelming, but the staff was able to walk us through it.) I had the dark roast; I'll have to go back and try the cold brew next time. Would definitely recommend; would go out of my way for on a weekday lazy morning.

Great food options! The boba teas were a super sweet for our taste (we usually get options of less sweet at boba tea places) but they had gluten free bread options!
