Chef Henry Kibit started Bunny Belly at the McMinnville Farmers Market, selling small-batch bagels from a stall. They caught on fast enough to justify a storefront, and the shop opened on Historic Third Street in 2025, next door to HiFi Wine Bar.

The method is the whole pitch. Bagels are hand-rolled, center-punched — the belly button method, hence the name — and boiled before baking, which is the traditional technique most places skip because it’s slow. What comes out has the chew a bagel is supposed to have.

Beyond the plain rounds there are schmears and bagel sandwiches, with the kind of flavor combinations that come from a chef rather than a bakery. Coffee is Extracto, roasted in Portland.

It’s a straightforward morning stop in a town that could use more of them, and it sits right in the middle of Third Street among the tasting rooms and shops.

Common questions

What’s the belly button method?
Hand-rolling each bagel and punching the hole through the center by hand, then boiling before baking. It’s the traditional technique, and it’s why these have real chew.

Is there coffee?
Yes, Extracto Coffee Roasters from Portland.

What can I get besides bagels?
Schmears and bagel sandwiches, with combinations that reflect Kibit’s background as a chef.

Where is it?
Historic Third Street, next to HiFi Wine Bar, in the middle of downtown McMinnville.

Can I still find them at the farmers market?
They started there. Worth checking whether they still have a stall in season.

Is it good for a group?

It’s a small shop and a morning operation. Fine for grabbing a bag to take with you.
