The Eisenhower Bagelhouse Needs a New Home 

The Eisenhower Bagelhouse was founded in October 2013 alongside (and inside!) Pinky's Pizza. We were two restaurants sharing one space and one dream —to pour our hearts into our craft, create a warm, friendly atmosphere, and become a true asset to the Overlook community in North Portland. 

...And, We did it! In fact, we've succeeded so much that Pinky's and The Bagelhouse are practically tripping over each others' pots and pans as we both try to keep up with demand. We are so proud, and so honored that the Overlook neighborhood has embraced us and given us so much support and love. Its a wonderful problem to have, but we want to make sure that we can keep  giving you great customer service and delicious bagels without long wait times—or even worse, running out of bagels before noon! It's time for the Bagelhouse to graduate, and find a place of our own to call home.

We need your help to keep us in the 'hood! We found the perfect spot, just a few blocks away from our current location, but its going to cost a pretty penny to get us up and running.... 

So, we're launching this campaign to help raise some of the funds necessary to lease and build out a retail space in The Prescott building.  We've got our eye on the north corner of the building, across from the MAX stop and US Bank. It's the right size, with great location and visibility. They know we're a mom-and-pop operation, and they want someone from the neighborhood in there, so they've been fairly flexible with the lease terms. However, the cost of construction to turn the empty retail shell into a bakery and coffeeshop would fall to us, and it's a substantial amount of money. We're so close, but we need your help! If we can raise enough dough (har har) for construction and added infrastructure, we'll finally be able to fully realize the potential of our humble bagel operation. We can finally stay open later, and have a lunch menu! We even have dreams of serving as a spot for all sorts of community events in the evening. This will be Bagelhouse 2.0. This will be the neighborhood coffeeshop that Overlook needs and deserves. 


We are hoping to raise $15,000 through this campaign, to be used for the purchase of additional kitchen equipment, as well as the permits required for new construction. Your contribution will help to ensure that we have everything we need to hit the ground running when we open our doors.

We have put together perks to thank everyone who is able to contribute, from just $25 dollars up to $5,000. Every little bit will make a difference! We are talking about some delicious packages people! Breakfast for two, bagels—so many bagels,  amazing hand crafted cups, and so much more.  We even have coffee for life. Literally, free coffee for your entire life. Can you imagine never having to pay for a cup-o-joe again?

Even if we don't reach our goal, your contribution will make a huge impact. We need all sorts of equipment and fixtures that can be purchased by even partially achieving our goal. But the more funds we receive, the more fantastic the Bagelhouse will be!


We are committed to staying in the neighborhood and making this new shop a reality. The money is tight though, so we are really stretching ourselves thin to get up and going at the Prescott. We know that it will be worth it in the end, but we are calling on our friends and neighbors to help make this transition a success.


Are you strapped for cash as well? We know a lot of you already invest us by spending what little extra money you have for bagels and coffee. We so appreciate it! And don't feel bummed out, you can still totally help us! We would love for you to help us by spreading the word to all your friends and families. Tell them in person or use some of the Indiegogo sharing tools for the interwebs.
