    Everything bagel with vegan veggie cream cheese
    Chloe F.

    First things first, order online. This place is small and VERY busy. I placed an order online while in the store because the line was so long. Took probably 30 minutes. The bagels are tasty, but tofutti isn't my first choice. I would definitely go again, because I love a bagel, but I would place the order way in advance.

    Egg and Cheese and Tomato on Whole Wheat Everything
    Gabrielle B.

    Such a good bagel, I am looking for the best in DC. This is one I will get again, I got an egg and cheese and tomato on their whole wheat everything, borderline best bagel ever. Really delicious. I even got called sir by staff so bonus points there as well. I will be back for more. Tilda thank you for showing me this spot shout out.

    This bagel sandwich gave me life. It actually revived me, and gave me life for the day. I love the sweet spicy peppers that are added to the sandwich. The cheese was perfectly melted, and the eggs were so soft and delicious. The first bite was absolutely magnificent. Thinking about it now actually makes me want to order the sandwich again! I cannot comment on the ambience our service since this was a delivery order, but will update my review if I do visit IRL. From my reading of reviews, though, this seems like a spot where you would grab and go.

    Turkey BLT on everything
    Gloria M.

    I ordered two sandwiches for delivery, a turkey BLT and steak, and they were both delicious. The bagels are soft and fresh and the sandwich's are stuffed. They travel well and were ready fast.

    Tofu veggie cream cheese
    Caroline N.

    First time visiting this bagel shop and I ordered an onion bagel with tofu veggie cream cheese (I'm vegan). What intrigued my interest in buying a bagel here were their two vegan cream cheese options. The bagel was amazing! I really appreciate the big size and softness of the bagel, which I got toasted, and the generous amount of cream cheese that comes with it. Customer service is great! When I arrived there was a long line but it shortened quickly which I appreciated. I also like how they had which bagels are not vegan so that I can make the right decision when choosing which one I can and cannot eat. I look forward to returning for another bagel.

    Restaurant interior
    Evan F.

    Decent spot for a walk-in shop style bagel and a schmear with a coffee. Small interior, but the service was quick and efficient. So many people in line (obviously a popular spot)! You can also get a breakfast sandwich on your choice of a bagel, croissant or bread. So many bagel options, topping options, etc. it was honestly a bit overwhelming while ordering, but we got it all sorted out. I will say that a typical bagel and schmear had an overly abundant amount of cream cheese so just be aware.

    I have really liked going to Bethesda Bagels in the past, but unfortunately the wait times here have grown to be too long to continue going here during peak hours. In an attempt to save time, I have done my last two orders via Local by Toast and the orders were not ready when anticipated. And on the second order I wound up giving 45 minutes for the order to be made and still had to wait around for the order to be completed. Also, during prime hours, you may not want to wait in the store as there are way too many people waiting for orders they just placed and those waiting on delivery pick up. Not too mention the people along squeezing in to eat on the little strip counter by the entrance window. It is unfortunate they weren't able to expand into the empty store location next door to expand room for those waiting, allow for more to eat in the store, and expand operations for efficiency.

    So good! A friend picked these up for takeout for our hike, and I still cannot get over how full these sandwiches were!

    Bacon egg & cheese on everything bagel
    Marsha T.

    Well-seasoned, chewy everything bagel, lots of crispy bacon, perfectly cooked over-medium egg, and melty cheddar cheese. Add some hot sauce and you have yourself a great breakfast bagel. Would order again! (Uber Eats BOGO deal)

    Ham egg & cheese
    Shawn T.

    This place is popping on the weekend and I see why. I've walked past it for months but a friend suggested I go. 10 am on a Saturday and the line is out the door. Order ahead. This must mean it's good and it's worth the wait. Big packed bagel sandwiches. Customized how you want them at a reasonable price. Try them for yourself!

    burnt ass turkey bacon
    Mariam O.

    love that this is a cheap and fast breakfast option, but they stay burning their turkey bacon! this is not a one-off experience, either. i foolishly ordered today to see if they had improved but alas, no. will stick to other meat options instead.

    Weird choice to sell Redskins branded cookies in partnership with a maga vendor.
    Stephen V.

    If you enjoy not having your bagels actually toasted by a bagel shop that sells "Redskin" cookies from a maga owned vendor, this is the place for you!

    Service speed and taste was good. It is a grab and go place. Be specific if you want veggie. Good value for the price

    Popular place. The Tofu cream cheese was a great to have as an option for plant based eaters!

    There was a blue rubber band inside the cream cheese of my bagel this morning - ruined my appetite.
