Behrad EatsJanuary 20, 2016Choose wisely and get it right with the massive, overstuffed bacon, egg, cheese, & avocado on an everything bagel!
Finally found a great bagel spot near Dupont Circle! Especially love that they open at 6:30 for early morning people and have good, cheap coffee.
Best bagels in DC. Grab a dozen whole wheat everything sliced, stick them in your freezer, and eat them for breakfast every morning for the rest of your life.- Nela LichtscheidlNovember 18, 2013Need something cheap and filling? Here is your answer! These bagels are HUGE and taste fresh and warm. PLUS, they are perfectly smothered in your choice of cream cheese! Yum...
Murad GürmeriçMay 6, 2018Large variety of bagels and toppings, worth the wait. Bagels are quite large, so don’t over-order
Louise GsMay 24, 2016The avocado BLT might be the tastiest bagel I've ever had in my entire life! And the staff is really nice. But the seating area is clearly one of the worst you could expect, so take it to go.
- Great chewy bagels! Excellent bagel sandwiches and lots of options including flagels (flatter bagels, easy for sandwich eating) and mini bagels.
This NYer can get behind the chive cream cheese with lox, tomato, and onion on a toasted bagel.
delicious! be careful because the line gets long around 1030am on weekends but worth the wait. try an everything flagel (flat bagel/just crust)!
Janna H.March 28, 2017Delicious bagels. Breakfast sandwich was jam packed. Could have easily saved half for lunch, but hard to stop eating once started.
April GIMarch 20, 2021This place is an institution. Good bagels, bagel variety, and cream cheese. Always great customer service.
You can't go wrong with lox cream cheese or a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel
Franco CalizNovember 5, 2017Best quick breakfast in town for my money. Great bagels, quality ingredients.
Yong KwonMarch 5, 2017Could be my new home for NYC style bagels. Also scored a bialy - unbeatable hospitality!
David BJanuary 27, 2015Onion bagel toasted with chive cream cheese, lox, onion, tomatoes, capers. Heaven! Best bagel in DC.
Camille WrightAugust 25, 2015Great for a quick breakfast or for getting lots of good bagels for a group noshing.
abba1126February 23, 2013One of the few places outside of NYC that actually serves good bagels! Try the multigrain.
The long lines are clearly due to the staff's incompetence. Bagels are good. Lox spread is good. Will call order ahead in the future
Long lines if you come after 9 am on weekends. They open at 6:30, so go as soon as your awake!
Bagels are the best in DC. Even better now that they're trying some form of line organization!! Love that.
Vuckovic MilosJuly 13, 2015Tuna Salad Whole Wheat Bagel - fresh and great! Unfortunately no good coffee here
giopalatucciJune 17, 2012Best bagel in DC and closest thing to a NY (NJ) bagel you'll find in the area.
John BrougherJanuary 27, 2012Get the nova and cream cheese bagel, and be sure to get it with lettuce, capers, tomato and the works.
Best bagels in Dupont! Easily tops Bagels Etc. Try the walnut cinnamon cream cheese
Plan on waiting at least 20 minutes for your simple bagel with cream cheese, even if you're the first person in line. Worst...system...ever.
Try the HUGE doughnut. See how long it takes you to finish it, or how many people it takes to finish it.
If you're just getting one bagel or one bagel & a drink, tell them no bag!
Whitefish salad is closest to what I can get at home in NJ. Nom.
So many white people thinking they've found something special. If you're a girl don't even think about coming in unless you're in yoga pants!!!
Reminds me of my hometown bagel place in NY. Totally authentic.
