Portland, OR - The aroma of freshly baked bagels will soon waft through the air at 628 NW 23rd Ave in Portland. Henry Higgins Bagels is gearing up to replace Kornblatt's Deli, which closed its doors last month. With a targeted opening date of May 15th, the new bagel shop promises a taste of New York City, while still honoring the memory of its deli predecessor.
Owner Leah Orndoff spoke with NW Portland News about her enthusiasm for the upcoming opening: "We are moving right along over here with the highest hopes of a May 15th open. We are so excited to be in the neighborhood and will still offer lots of deli favorites like fresh bagels, lox and cream cheese, Matzo ball soup everyday, and hot pastrami sandwiches." The anticipation for Henry Higgins Bagels is building, and locals are eager to welcome this new addition to the culinary scene.
As stated on their website, Henry Higgins Bagels is dedicated to providing Portland with traditional NY-style boiled bagels, freshly prepared each day using a combination of Shepard's Grain flour and Bob's Red Mill flour and seeds. This meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality ensures that customers will enjoy an authentic bagel experience.
Though this will be their first location in our Northwest neighborhood, Henry Higgins Bagels is no stranger to the Portland area, with an already established presence on Foster Road. The shop's popularity among locals can be attributed to their delightful menu that combines the best of a classic New York bagel with the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a Portland neighborhood.
As the community mourns the loss of Kornblatt's Deli, the arrival of Henry Higgins Bagels offers a glimmer of hope for the future. Their dedication to preserving deli favorites, while simultaneously crafting their own unique niche, ensures that they will fit right into the fabric of Portland's diverse culinary landscape.
