Seattle’s Hey Bagel was selected to compete at New York BagelFest, joining more than 25 acclaimed bagel makers from 10 states and five countries, according to BagelFest. The shop earned its invitation after sweeping Best Bagel and Best Bagel Sourdough at BagelFest West.

Hey Bagel, located in University Village, makes all of its bagels from 100% organic flour, 50% of which is sourced from Washington, according to the business’s website. Every bagel is vegan and sourdough-based. The shop also offers a lineup of house-made schmears, including a coconut-based vegan cream cheese, spicy scallion, chili crisp, strawberry graham cracker, vegan scallion, raspberry curry, and hot honey.

Hey Bagel owner Andrew Rubinstein, who also founded Rubinstein Bagels, told The Seattle Times he was nervous weeks before BagelFest West.

“I was worried I would be embarrassed,” Rubinstein said.

Now, with a regional win under his belt, Rubinstein is heading to New York to compete for the national title.
