The bagels themselves are some of the best in the DMV and it really should be about the bagels. It's meat free which is fine with me, but you should know it going in.

One and Done! I would not return. Ordered 2 small coffees. No 1/2 and 1/2. "Oh well!" Had I known, I would not have wasted $5.00. We ordered a bagel w/ cream cheese and lox. It was very skimpy on the cream cheese, lox, caper, lettuce, tomato and onion. The bagel was ok.. nothing to rave about. The breakfast burrito w/ bacon was large, filling and greasy! I was expecting nice crispy bacon...instead it contained soggy, bland turkey bacon or Sizzleen. I guess because it's a kosher bagel shop, I should not have assumed I was getting real bacon. The description on the menu states bacon or sausage. It should be clearly stated that it's turkey bacon. I don't mind paying a premium charge, but not for sub-par food. My order would've been different had I realized they did not have 1/2 and 1/2 or real bacon. Knowing that upfront, I would probably give them a 3 star rating.. because again.. the bagels are okay but their filling is sub-par.
This place was suggested to us by a friend who claims they get their dough brought in brim NYC? I don’t know for sure if that’s true. But I do know that their bagels are fantastic!! Go early if you want a good selection because they certainly do sell out! My husband loves getting his with lox, whereas I like my everything bagel plain. Just writing about this place makes me hungry. Check it out!
Amazing bagels with in and out service. People reviewing are complaining about customer service but I never had issues. You go in, grab your bagels, pay, and leave. Not much too it. Their burgers are delicious too even if that sounds weird for a bagel shop. Definitely try their cream cheese flavors. They're so good! Lots of flavors to go too!
The poppy seed bagel I got wasn't a bagel. Completely devoid of salt, not chewy on the inside at all, no springiness; none of the classic characteristics of what defines a bagel. This was simply mediocre bread in the shape of a bagel with a pitiful amount of poppy seeds sprinkled on it. I've had many, many bagels in NY - this doesn't even come close to the worst bagel I've had in the city. Giving 3 stars instead of 2 because this was the first time I've been here, and I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that this was a one off
Overpriced breakfast sandwich which consisted of a tiny piece of sausage patty, some egg, and too much cheese for a whopping almost $11!! The guy at the counter wasn't very friendly either. There are way too many other places where you can get better bagels and kosher food. Next!

The bagels are delicious. Fantastic to have a great variety at a good price. Customer Service is severely lacking. I witnessed a customer being berated for bringing in her thermal mug. The signage on the door explains that no outside food/drink can be brought in (because the restaurant is kosher) but it does not explain that the kosher laws forbid them to allow empty thermal mugs. The restaurant should have clear signage about this. Beyond that, they could have told her in a much more friendly fashion about their rules. It was embarrassing. The customer was extremely understanding when I spoke to her. I would recommend this place only to buy bagels.
Really good classic New York bagels. I had the egg and cheese sandwich and although I was skeptical about the suggestion of mozzarella, it was actually very good. The bagel tasted like a real bagel and not just bread.
Bagels are not bad at all, but I'm still open to other options for NY style bagels in the area. There is a good variety of spreads besides just cream cheese. Their iced coffee is great, though: strong and smooth, not too acidic, and not diluted even when iced.
