Very cute bagel shop with unique drinks, coffee, bagel sandwiches, and bakery items. This was my…read morefirst time trying bkd, and I was pleasantly surprised. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner. The food: I ordered the People's Champ to share with my partner. As a big fan of lox bagels, this sandwich immediately stood out to me. We got it on the jalapeño cheddar bagel, which was delicious. My only complaint was that it tasted a little too salty because of the amount of capers, but aside from that, it was super yummy. I also ordered the Iced Nilla Berry Latte, which came with a raspberry cold foam. The cold foam flavor was very faint, and there was barely any coffee taste. Overall, it felt a bit watered down. The service: Quick and easy service. They give you a buzzer so you can find a table and wait instead of standing around near the pickup area.

My husband and I went to eat at bkd bagels earlier this week, and he was excited to try it because…read morehe heard good things. We were greeted by an impatient man when there was no one behind us waiting, we were taking our time to order and he was extremely dismissive and impatient. English isn't my first language so it takes me a bit longer to order than usual, but the way I was spoken to made me very disappointed. I hope that they will take this review as a wake up call to have patience with people.... We are what keeps your business a business. You should put customers as priority as we keep your business going. Will not be ever eating here again, so disappointed.

**** updated response to owner ***…read more I hear what you're saying about space and production limits, but that's exactly the point. If your setup can't support the volume and variety you're offering, then the issue is planning, not just space. Offering 16+ flavors while running out of plain bagels (or any bagels for that matter) before 10:30am isn't a demand anomaly, it's a mismatch between your menu and your capacity. Make fewer varieties, produce more of the basics, and you don't lose customers walking out. This isn't about comparing you to high-volume shops, it's about getting the fundamentals right. Plain bagels are the baseline. If those are gone, the rest of the menu doesn't really matter. End result is still the same, long wait, no product, lost sale. ***** Waited 12 minutes at Weird Dough Bagels this morning just to be told they were out of multiple bagels, including plain. Plain bagels... gone before 10:30am. If your concept is 16+ flavors, maybe figure out how to not run out of the one thing every single customer expects you to have. This isn't "high demand," it's bad planning. I'm from New York and I've never seen a bagel shop miss on basics like this. And in all the years going to Bodo's Bagels, I've never seen them run out of bagels, period. As a former café owner, running out of core items isn't quirky or artisanal, it's a failure. Walked out without ordering, about a $50 ticket lost because you couldn't manage inventory on the most basic product you sell. Do less, do it better. Right now it's neither.

They have plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside, or you can order to-go. They also have coffee, pastries, and other drinks (soda, water, etc.). Parking is available on the street or in one of the many municipal lots in town, so don't be discouraged by their old town location. Even from a municipal lot, it's a short walk to their shop. They're open during the day now, but are about to start evenings Thurs-Sat with mocktails and melt sandwiches!

Just be nice to the people behind the counter…read more For some reason people that go to lunch here are rude to the people behind the counter and this must stop. I was there to pick up a sandwich for lunch and witnessed very entitled customers treat the staff disrespectfully. Unacceptable. These men and women wake up early and are there everyday with a smile and a positive attitude and people walk into their business and speak down to them. No. Not on my watch. If you eat here, order from here or ask anything of the people tha work here- they deserve respect. The food is great. The tuna, is real, and the sandwiches are hearty. They have a little dining room and lots to choose from and the workers behind the counter deserve your respect and support.

Not salt pepper nothing. Went back inside to ask for butter to add and tried to stomach just the bagel without the turkey or egg. And it tastes off. Like the bagel was microwaved also. The place is clean and has great selections. Decent prices. So idk maybe a fluke ‍. But now I have to go elsewhere for a quick bite.

Physical Exam: Food - I ordered the special four cheese bacon bagel that they had on special with tomato and scallion cream cheese. My wife got a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was all impressively reminiscent of a NY bagel. Great density, chew, and crust. The cream cheese was administered generously. Ambiance - The establishment presents as a classic New York bodega with a deli counter layout -- compact, no-frills, and entirely appropriate for its intended function. Great place if you want something with quick service and great food. Service - Quick, functional, and to the point. No complications noted. Assessment: A neighborhood gem and so thankful we stumbled upon it. Royal Bagel Bakery delivers an authentically New York bagel experience in an otherwise unlikely corner of Germantown, Maryland. One downside is they got very plain coffee, but it's the type of place where I'm looking at the coffee purely as fuel, and nothing more. Plan It's so far away but I definitely will try to go again next time I'm nearby. Specialty bagel was a phenomenal choice. Gotta try their cakes next time, which looked crazy good.
