    In a word OUTSTANDING. Truthfully, there aren't too many bagel places left out there anymore in the NoVA area and the ones that are still out there, only about 10% of them are decent, serving authentic, quality bagels and bagel sandwiches. THIS PLACE IS ONE OF THOSE TOP 10%-ers! * Conveniently located (even though I hateeeee that little gummed-up stretch of Main Streer in Fairfax!!) but the shop is on the little side strip out of the fray of the main retailers Ace Hardware and TJ Maxx. Lot parking is abundant for a quick in and out if you're grabbing to go. * SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF and FAST, EFFICIENT SERVICE - I went in around 9AM on a Sat - no long line - walked right up to the counter and ordered - sat at a table and my order was called about 10 minutes later. * It was bfast time and I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sando $8 on a lightly toasted ET bagel - delicious and they didn't skimp on any of the ingredients! The bagel was big, hearty and chewy. A perfect breakfast to go. * PRICES ARE VERY FAIR and I felt I got good value for what I paid. $13 basically for a bfast sando and a bottle of juice (drinks are always a rip-off - $3.50, half the cost of my sando but it is what it is...) * The inside of the restaurant itself is sorta small and cramped - as you walk in, the left side is the ordering side, the right side is the seating area with a good amount of tables and chairs - most importantly, they keep the place neat and clean which is a big deal to me. It's a little dark and drab in ambiance/decor and I could see it getting a bit chaotic if the place fills up and with long lines at the counter. On nice weather days, there are some outside tables. I don't come to this area of Fairfax all that often - just happened to be in the area that morning and literally searched for a bagel place on Yelp and hardly any came up. Fortunately I happened to be close by. When I'm in the area again AND happen to be hankerin' for a bagel sandwich, I'll most definitely come back here again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS INDIE BAGEL SHOP IN DOWNTOWN FAIRFAX!

    First time visiting Main Street Bagel Deli - it had been on my list to try out for sometime... Ordered their "Nova Lox" on a toasted Onion Bagel. All the usual suspects are present here - although sadly - no fresh dill. Ate in - the food came up in a few minutes. Overall, a tasty bagel & lox combo. Service was good! Paid with Apple Pay. I'd stop in again if I happen to passing through or in the neighborhood. #MainStreetBagelDeli

    This is a really really solid bagel place and at a good price point as well! My friend picked it up and it travels well, as expected from any decent bagel place. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on a jalapeño bagel and it tasted exactly how you want it to taste. The bagel isn't too spicy and doesn't have jalapeño pieces inside it. A bit dense, but that might've been a transportation thing.

    Everything, onion, cheese, pumpernickel, sesame bagels.

    Wow finally a real bagel joint! These folks are legit. The bagels are huge, soft , and loaded with different flavorful toppings. They have 5 or 6 different flavored cream cheese besides plain, numerous salads from tossed to macaroni and chicken, egg, as well as tuna. The last 3 store made. A huge selection of sandwiches from breakfast types to Reubens. I'll be back I'm sure because I just bought bagels and a tub of cream cheese this time.

    Egg and Cheese Onion Bagel. Extra egg.
    Victoria F.

    Food was decent. Portions were huge, an extra egg looks like three eggs. I could taste the onion, but it didn't stand out. Service was slow, but the ambience was okay. Waiting wasn't bad. Would try their lunch menu. Oh, there cookie is fantastic!

    I've been recommended this place a few times, and it's close to school... so why not venture here? I stopped by here to finally grab some breakfast from this place, and it was extremely packed! That's always a good sign. While there's plenty of seating, there were still a lot of people hanging around the pickup counter to grab their items due to the crowds/ lack of space. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel (everything bagel), turkey pastrami sandwich, strawberry smoothie, along with a black& white cookie. There's lots of staff here, and everything came out in a fairly timely manner, considering the crowds here! The food was pretty good and it's fairly decent pricing. I want to try out some more items, so I will be back!

    Plain Bagel w/ Cream Cheese and Lox
    Kate W.

    This place is consistently good. Today I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and lox and it hit the spot. Good cream cheese to lox ratio and amazing blend! The service is always quick and efficient. Once you order you typically get your food within 5 minutes. I never really dine in, but they do have quite a few tables if you're looking to eat there!

    Pastrami Reuben
    Melody Y.

    This place is definitely busy during brunch/lunch time on the weekends. There was a line but it went by really fast. Prices & service were great. Pastrami Reuben: cheesy, warm, savory. It could use a little more saurkraut but it came with pickles on the side so it made up for it. I would come back to try other menu items.

    Sausage, Egg and Cheese on a Garlic Bagel
    Anthony N.

    4/5! Was craving a good bagel this morning, and since I haven't been here in a long time, it was time to pay a visit. The Food: I went with a Sausage, Egg and Cheese Bagel on a Garlic bagel. Definitely a delicious bagel, with a good portion of meat/egg ratio. Not the best, but good enough for the price. The Service: Service was great! Staff were friendly and got my order out within a timely manner. The Atmosphere: Plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. It's a cafe, so setup for you to pick up and go. Overall, a 4/5. Pretty good bagels with plenty of options to choose from. Great prices as well. Definitely recommend.

    As one of the main coordinators for our school teacher appreciation week luncheons, I had two…read moregoals: 1) Support local 2) Feed our staff WELL I chose Santini's due to their proximity to our elementary school and easy catering menus that were located online. We went with the VIP Board Room Lunch which for $17.95 per person included assorted sandwich platters, salad, chips, fruit salad, and a dessert tray. I sent an email request online and was contacted by a manager via phone to coordinate the details. School lunch times are ridiculously early and the staff came in an hour earlier than usual to make sure our order was ready to go by 10:15 am. Is that service or what? Everything was packaged beautifully so it was easy to serve, and the staff was so impressed by the quality of the subs and salads. Platters were plentiful and guests were able to go back for seconds which was amazing. Two small recommendations for next time: 1) Make sure to specify that the dessert tray is properly labeled. There were a few items with surprise nuts in it which could have been an issue if not spotted. 2) The catering menu mentioned that fruit salad would be served with the meal -- we got a few boxes of bananas instead which is a bit misleading.

This small spot is full of personality offering col and hot sandwiches, desserts, bottled wine, beer, and soft drinks that can be enjoyed inside or outside of the deli. From my perspective the best part about this place was the guy working the counter. He offered me a glass of wine as I waited for my 3 sandwiches to be prepared, and then sold me a bottle to take home. Great local space, one star off because the refrigerated crème brûlée was frozen and the sandwiches while prepared on some great crusty bread, were not especially memorable. Great experience

However, I could not find the shop because I was looking on the other side of the street. It can be sort of hard to see if you don't already know about it. It's in the same plaza as the T-Mobile and Trek Bicycle. Upon entry, I asked if they had canolis and he said yes, how many do you want, 1 dozen, 2 dozen? I asked the price and told the gentleman I wanted 2 canolis. However, he diregarded my response and encouraged me to get 1 dozen or 2 dozen because they're made fresh. I said no, 2 canolis were fine. He kept asking me to get other things, sandwiches, wine. I declined. I left with the feeling he was being sort of pushy, rather than welcoming, which I did not like. The canolis were delicious. I purchased one regular canoli with mini-chocolate chips. And the second was a regular canoli with a shell half dipped in chocolate. So yummy!!

My favorite was the everything bagel. We had sesame bagels, cinnamon raisin, plain bagels, and maple salt and pepper. I love their creativity with different flavors and ingredients!

We arrived in the late morning/early afternoon and there were still a decent amount of people inside, as well as coming and going. They have seating indoor which is limited, and they have several tables outside. FOOD: ~Ice americano (3.5/5): solid. On the lighter side for our preference. ~Pastrami Sun City (4.5/5): This sandwich was really good! Complex and non-muddy flavors. ~Jetski (3/5): Personal preference. It had good flavors, but it felt a little one-note for us in terms of texture. ~Pretzel bagel (2.5/5) with garlic and herb cream cheese (4/5): The pretzel bagel was a little too soft/not toasted enough for me. The flavor was okay. The cream cheese was PACKED with flavor though. Overall, will definitely hit this spot up again.
