Have you had yourself a Tacoma-style bagel yet? Howdy Bagel opened on South Tacoma Way at the end of May, 2023, and we think they’ve had a line out the door ever since! If you go, you’ll know why. Our friends and long time customers, Daniel & Jake, brought not only their love of bagels to their new business, but also their love of salvage. The shop is full of wonderful old things, some of them from Second Use. Go eat a Tacoma-Style Bagel, and have a gander at all the wonderful touches of old and fun while you’re there. We wish them continued success; it couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple!
We weren’t even inside yet when we spotted these adorable folding chairs, formerly used by Annie Wright Schools; found by Daniel & Jake at Second Use!Look at these gorgeous pendants with fluted globes.Attractive display using this beautiful old card catalog file cabinet.Some of the file drawers used upside down to display the days bagels in the case.Not sure if these cement blocks were already in the building, but either way, they provide some wonderful texture and visual interest.Salvaged wood sign, and stunning vintage water decanter!Tacoma-Style Bagels!
