B’s Bagels and Butters opens in Gig Harbor with a line out the door. Here’s what we know

The wait is officially over for bagels in Gig Harbor.

B’s Bagels and Butters just up from the waterfront at 3308 Uddenberg Lane is open.

They had a soft opening Monday, March 6 for those who participated in their kick-starter campaign and opened the doors for everyone else Tuesday morning.

Social media pictures from the Gig Harbor Waterfront Alliance showed the line was out the door.

The bagel shop posted on their Instagram account that they sold out within two hours of opening.

B’s Bagels and Butters will serve breakfast and lunch seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The shop hoped to open in January, but faced months of construction and health inspection delays.

The Menu

The shop serves East Coast-style bagels, similar to the traditional New York style.

The menu offers a variety of bagels, bagel sandwiches, shmears and butters — all made in-house from scratch.

“We’re doing a lot of staples, but also a lot of fun different flavors,” owner Brittany Erwin previously told the Gateway.

There are over 10 flavors of “original bagels,” such as plain, everything, sesame, cinnamon raisin and onion salt.

“Specialty bagels” will include jalapeno cheddar, pizza, french toast, pumpernickel and a bagel of the month.

Customers can build a bagel sandwich or choose one off the menu.

The “bagel and lox” is made with scallion cream cheese, locally sourced salmon, onion, cucumber and romaine.

Visitors are able to get their favorite butter on a bagel or order butter to take home.

“A compound butter is a flavored butter generally used as a topping, spread, sauce,” Erwin said. “They can be savory or sweet.”

B’s Bagels and Butters has garlic herb, truffle Parmesan, candied pecan, raspberry citrus and honey butter.

Erwin suggests using the butters at home on desserts, breads, vegetables and steaks.
