B’s Bagels & Butters - Gig Harbor, WA
Let Gig Harbor’s top real estate agent, Paige Schulte, walk you through town and introduce you to the small business owners of Gig Harbor. Gig Harbor boasts a vibrant downtown scene lined with local business owners along with delicious eats from Uptown to Downtown Gig Harbor. Read on to hear about how B’s Bagels & Butters got started here in the harbor.
Brittany Erwin was born and raised in New England where she earned a degree in Culinary Arts from Johnson & Wales University. In the following years she worked in various restaurants as a chef and a part-time pastry chef before landing in Washington with her husband Ryan, a Gig Harbor Police Officer. While working as the chef at Cooks Tavern in Tacoma she decided it was time to leave and open her own place. Brittany always thought that she wanted to have a fancy Michelin star restaurant with all the bells and whistles, but she found that all she wanted at the end of the day was to go home and create fabulous bagel sandwiches. It was her go-to comfort food that brought her the most joy. Brittany realized that she didn’t have to create high-end, fancy food to bring people together and spread happiness, she simply had to stay true to what she loved most.
With a location secured next to her friends at Better Gym and plans firmly underway, B’s Bagels & Butters is on course to open in early 2022. It will have a small coffee shop vibe while offering customers a comfortable space to sit, connect, or work. The menu will include a wide array of bagels and bagel sandwiches with all the fixings like bacon, lox, sausage, egg, cream cheeses, and schmears. You will be able to grab some freshly brewed Bluebeard Coffee or order other quick food to go like bagel chips, dips, salad, soups, and a variety of baked goods.
Brittany has worked as a private chef with the PTSD Foundation and Warrior PATHH, cooking for combat veterans and first responders. The work deeply impacted her, inspiring her to offer a discount program for military and first responders at B’s Bagels & Butters. Brittany also plans to display local art and products from regional makers at the shop.
