    Bacon egg bagel
    Katherine C.

    I was walking around Georgetown and was craving a bagel so I found this place on google maps. I looove bagels, and this one was good! Just not the one of the best bagels I've had. I got a plain bagel with bacon and egg (no cheese because I'm lactose intolerant). The bacon and egg were a little on the greasy side and the plain bagel itself was just okay. Don't get me wrong, it was a good bagel sandwich and I enjoyed it! Just didn't blow me away. The cashier and guy who made my bagel was nice and polite though and it wasn't busy so my order came out fast and hot. There are a few seats inside if you wanted to eat at the place.

    Stopped into Cafe Con Bagel on my walk around Georgetown and lovedddd it. I ordered a hot mocha and a beef empanada. The mocha was hot, tasty, and perfect for warming me up. The empanada was flavorful and not skimpy on the inside stuffing. I like that you can take the stairs down to additional indoor and outdoor seating that gives the vibe of being tucked away. I definitely want to come back and try their bagels and more coffee!

    Thanks to the owner for treating my friend and I! What a lovely location and tasty drink. Great staff as well! Go, enjoy!!

    For a good bagel sandwich, head to this small cafe along Wisconsin Avenue NW in Georgetown. Walking in on a Friday in June around 10:30am, I ordered right away. Within five minutes, I was downstairs eating the "Georgetown Breakfast," one of five house specials. The bagel sandwich itself was tasty and filling. Egg, sausage, and American cheese comes on an everything bagel. It was full of flavor and had the right salt amount.

    Bagels are sandwiched with a stack of toppings, great portion. Beef empanada was yum, the exterior was a perfect texture and the inside had a good flavor. Downstairs had cute indoor and outdoor seating. Loved the peak through window of the cats next door.

    Steak Con Queso

    Located in Georgetown super convenient for a quick bite while shopping. Steak Con Queso (5/5): Delicious steak bagel - tasted like a philly cheese steak. Big heaps of meat and super cheesy. Super yummy and toasted well. Came out very fast too. Would come back to this place in a heartbeat.

    Cute place with a few seats upstairs and plenty of seating downstairs. They're next to a kitten cafe and there's a window between the two so you can see all the cats. I ordered the Federal Chorizo and it was good! The sandwich comes out hot and slightly crispy on the outside. The flavors are nice, exactly what you expect it to taste like. It was just heavier than I was expecting, the meat was thick-cut and made the whole sandwich greasy. This sandwich is messy and the oil covered the bottom half of the bagel. I can see this being really good as a hangover meal or if you're starving, but it was a bit much for me at the time.

    The Grid-Lox

    After a long run, my friend and I stopped by Café con Bagel this morning to treat ourselves to a bagel sandwich. By 10:30 AM, it was pretty busy, but we waited about 15 minutes before our bagel arrived. THE GRID-LOX - 13 This lox bagel comes with cream cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, smoked salmon, and onions. Unfortunately, we found it pretty underwhelming. The plain bagel was served at room temperature, like it hadn't been toasted or heated at all. There were some pieces of smoked salmon, but they didn't cover the entire bagel, so my last few bites were mainly bagel and cream cheese. We asked for light cream cheese, but the layer was still too thick. The lettuce felt like an odd addition, and didn't really add much to the sandwich. The only thing I liked was the tomatoes, which made the sandwich less dry. My friend ordered an iced vanilla coffee, but they accidentally gave her an iced vanilla tea instead. She still enjoyed the drink, though. The interior is pretty small with limited seating, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. Personally, I think there are better bagel places in the area, so I probably won't come back to this one.

    Cafe Con Bagel is a small but really cute spot to grab bagels and drinks. My friends said the bagels were really good--I didn't try one myself, but they looked fresh and well-made. I ordered the cherry blossom matcha, and it was delicious! A little on the sweeter side, so I'd probably ask for less sugar next time, but it tasted great and looked beautiful. Definitely an Instagram-worthy drink. Everything was very affordable, and the overall vibe was cozy and welcoming. Great place to stop by for a quick bite or a pretty drink!

    Capitol Omelette
    Sonya H.

    Cute little café and bagel shop located in the heart of Georgetown. I stumbled upon this shop while walking to the Waterfront and was drawn in by the lovely, minimalistic storefront flooded by natural light from their giant window, as well as the charming little outdoor seating area in the back. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service is pretty efficient; there's usually a bit of a line, so it might take a bit to get through the line, but the food comes out quickly once you place your order. I decided to get their Capitol Omelette sandwich, a classic breakfast sandwich with eggs, onions, mushrooms, mayo, and American cheese. The sandwich was solid, especially when eaten while hot, and the combination of the gooey melted cheese and mayo made it incredibly rich. It was, sadly, a smidge too rich for my taste -- it felt a bit greasy with all the mayo and cheese, as well as a bit too salty, so I ended up feeling a bit ill after eating it (but, again, that's really just a matter of my taste). The bagel itself was solid; it was quite chewy and a nice outer shell, but it was a bit more dense / heavy than I would have preferred.

    In the morning around 8 am there was plenty of free parking for me on the side streets which helps me decide on a place when driving from Maryland. A friendly place with constant regulars, door dash orders and every customer getting a awesome welcome. I chose the Bolivian Drip and the flavor was amazing. There's a nice downstairs area seating for your private talks. The breakfast chorizo sounded interesting , I think the empanadas are more popular. It's like I arrived at a friendly neighborhood place and they welcomed me like a neighbor. Short walk from M Street. I'm going to be back.

Most people order their sandwiches to go. The line can get pretty long, but you get through at a decent pace, I wouldn't say fast. Simple and straightforward ordering process, just remember what you ordered because they don't take names. I go between the Crunchy Boi and the Marisa Tomei Eats Free, which are both great. The Crunchy Boi is probably their most popular sandwich and it's lighter than you would think considering it's filled with potato chips. I think it's worth trying once. The Marisa Tomei, on the other hand, has never failed me. It's balanced with an absurd amount of arugula against the meat, and it's never dry. The portions are generous, like you could definitely split it into two meals, but they're not so heavy that you couldn't finish a sandwich in one sitting.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it
