Our Story
Located in Portland, Unstable Bagel is a purveyor of handmade bagels and baked goods, with a focus on quality ingredients and exceptional flavors.
Unstable Bagel is the creation of sole proprietor McKain Williams, who handles all aspects of the business, from baking and sales to deliveries, marketing, and administration. McKain graduated from Michigan State University in 2020 with a BSc in Neuroscience and has been involved in neuroscience and psychiatry research ever since. However, he has always had a passion for baking for others. In the summer of 2024, he decided to share his love for baking on a larger scale by founding Unstable Bagel.
Our mission at Unstable Bagel is to provide the community with high-quality baked goods. The name reflects our diverse menu, featuring unique items not typically found in other bakeries, such as Cacio e Pepe and Matcha. Through these innovative flavor options, we aim to express our belief that food should be fun, creative, flavorful, and nurturing.
Currently operating from a single location, we hope to expand in the future, either by establishing a physical storefront or by supplying bagels to local cafes and markets. Stay tuned for updates!
