Proper Bagel stands as a modern chic cafe, with minimalist interior. They are located off of Belmont Blvd near Hillsboro Village.
A few things you should know:
You MUST try their house-made butter, our favorite flavor is the fig & honey but once you try them all it’s too hard to choose one!
Masters of cream cheese: garlic & rosemary, lavender honey, walnut raisin, salted caramel- Just to name a few!
Barista Parlor is their partner for all things coffee, so you know that you are getting a top notch brew.
Bagel sandwiches are one of their specialties, drop the cream cheese and head for the whole package!
