Have come here twice, right as they open, and each time the donuts taste day-old when they should be at their freshest. Their sister shop has much higher quality donuts whenever I've had donuts from there. read more

Egg sausage and cheese bagel was very good. I stopped in right before closing and although there were only few options of bagels left, they still tasted delicious and fresh. I'm not sure why people are saying that the new management is bad. The bagel seemed on par with everything I've had here before. I will definitely stop by again. read more

I went into the Olney Bagel Bakery for the first time with my 13 year old daughter around 5 PM on a Saturday afternoon. We had a coupon from the Entertain Book where we would buy 6 bagels and get 6 free. We had a really bad experience. The owner was present, and he interjected multiple times to tell the teenagers that they could not sell "the specialty bagel" we selected because we were using a coupon. When my daughter asked about getting some cut and toasted so we could eat them immediately, he was very quick to interject stating that he would have to charge us extra. I could not believe his response, so I asked him directly, you really charge extra when someone wants their bagel toasted? He went on tell me that his toaster costs $1000.00 and he had to pay the workers (teenagers, who were probably related to him). Suffice to say, that his menu does not include a price for toasting the bagel. And, we were the only customers in the store at the time. I am always hesitant to play the racial card, but I am at a loss as to why we were treated so poorly. I am college educated, fairly articulate black american man. My daughter and I were very respectful. Still, this small business owner simply did not want our business. Since there is a Panera Bread store located about a mile away, I know he would not be in business if he treated everyone so poorly. And, after reading many of the other reviews, I can not believe that we went to the same place. Unfortunately, the owner provided a good lesson for my daughter. I think he expected us to get loud and mad. We kept our composure, bought our bagels, and left his establishment. We will not be back. read more

Its quite derogatory to be greeted as "Baby" or "Honey" by anyone providing any sort of service to a customer, let alone that person being the owner (Mia Chung). Per the brother that is part of the NY experience. Seriously...some people should not be serving customers at the counter. read more

Under new ownership and Olney bagel bakery is not the same. No longer can you get an "almost New York style" bagel. Now they taste like store bought bagels. The transition is still not complete after weeks of many changes. I used to go here all the time and it was always busy. Now not very busy. Food was tasteless. I could go to the grocery store and get these bagels and lunch meats. Service slower too. I wont be rushing back. Not sure why a new owner would make so many changes to a successful business. Oh well, time to find another place for good bagels. read more

I used to come here all the time when it was under the old ownership as Olney Bagel Bakery. Since it has changed, I have only been here a handful of times with good reason. The bagels just don't have the same quality, they are much better than store bought but something is missing in production. And no matter how many times I order a bagel toasted, not once have I received more than a warm bagel. To top it off, the cream cheese is always lacking. I am not a fan of overloading cream cheese, but when you have a tablespoon of cream cheese to cover the whole bagel, we have a problem. Especially since prices have gone up and quality has gone down with new ownership. I will be back one more time in hopes I have a better experience of a sandwich to go and the bagels aren't bad if you get them plain to take home and freeze, but I hope this place makes some changes soon because its clear the foot traffic is not what it used to be at the old store for good reason and I would hate to loose out on a proper New York bagel/deli shop in the area because they can't get their act together. read more

This Olney staple was recently taken over by new ownership, which I discovered when I went for bagels on Saturday. The price list was taken down, I assume those will be replaced soon? I got our usual bakers dozen w 2 cream cheeses. The server took my order on a slip and asked me to step aside and "wait". hmm... that's a new process. While I waited, I found several other patrons who were still waiting for their bagels while others who behind them got their food. Totally understandable if you ordered eggs or anything made to order. But I just got bagels. and I waited 10 minutes for someone to fill a bag with those bagels. They tasted great as always, so hopefully the new owners won't change that. My husband waited for me outside and was like "what took you so long.. I saw 4 people who went in after you come out already". They also got rid of the honey walnut cream cheese, so that was disappointing, and the price went way up.. Over $16 for the bakers dozen..Same deal only $14 at Panera. I still love this place, but I hope the new owners are careful with the changes. read more

They changed this place to Royal Bakery and it sucks so much. I want it to go back to Olney Bagel Bakery. The owner was robbed of his business. Literally and physically. The bagels taste awful and aren't the same. I don't think they make them fresh everyday. Also they spelled my name wrong on my ticket. read more

Please bring back the taste of the bagels prior to the new ownership! Maybe they had more sugar in them but they don't taste the same at all. You will win back our entire family (and we are not alone). We love the place and are absolutely thrilled that someone else is willing to keep the greatest gathering place alive but we so, so, so miss the taste! read more

Just had a heated roast beef on a Toasted Everything Bagel. Yummy yum yum for my tummy. Really!!!! I asked for one with no mayonnaise and no cheese. And it was 100% spot on. They use quality meats for sure. Service was quick. Did I say Yummy Yum Yum for my tummy? read more

$12 for a small (like, frozen Lender's bagel size small) salt bagel with cream cheese, small cup of fruit, small thing of orange juice, and small soda. While the salt bagel was good, it was really small. I would've just left it at a 3 but the completely unfriendly staff brought it down to a 2. read more

My Mother and I went here for breakfast this morning and really liked it. They had a variety of bagels and toppings to choose from as well as breakfast sandwiches. There is also a wide variety of coffee's to choose from. Everyone we dealt with was very nice from the man taking the order to the cashier (who I think may have been the owner.) It was very clean with a cafe atmosphere. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back! Maybe we'll try lunch next time. Some of their sandwiches looked really good. read more

I normally get my bagels at Panera, but since I was in the neighborhood, I figured I'd try something different. Well, I was not impressed. Bagels were about same price as Panera but much smaller and more dense (almost hard). Seems a "bagel" shop would do one thing particularly well but they're missing in action here. read more

The food is mediocre. I usually get the chicken Caesar salad, but it wasn't much. I tried their bagels though and they do taste fresh which is good. Would go back for a quick bite, but it's not extraordinary. read more

This is now Royal Bagel and Bakery. Same folks who are in Germantown (but closer!! - yea!). Same excellent quality. Same cheerful fine service. What's not to like? read more

Good place to grab a quick bite, but skip the bagel sandwiches...most of them aren't very impressive and can get pricey. Comfy atmosphere is good for having a cup of coffee and reading the paper with your bagel. read more

I just got a chicken salad on toasted croissant and it was Delicious! will be going back again soon.

Excellent everything bagel! Love love love this place! We've ordered large trays of bagels, whitefish and lox etc and it was incredible. Great place!!!! read more

New ownership has ruined an Olney tradition. Prices are up and the bagel quality and taste are down. I suspect they make the bagels at their other store and truck them in. The times I have been there since new ownership, I have not seen any bagel baking activities in the back. Its a shame. read more

This is my first yelp review ever and was my account created soley to review this place. It must be the least friendly service I have ever encountered and it's shocking because it's supposed to be a small town bagel joint. They're slow, uninviting, cold, and sometimes plain rude. This morning was the last time I will ever go there, for no establishment like this deserves repeated business. Honestly, I don't think they allow their employees to smile. I stood at the counter for 5min and no-one even said, "we'll be right w/ you, it's very busy"...They just looked at me like a nuisance and were clearly understaffed. The food, well, toast a bagel. It's not that hard. Poor management. read more

I was very disappointed. The servive was awful and the girl who helped us was SO rude. Not only did I expeirence bad service but the first bite I took out of my bacon, egg and cheese one of the workers hair flossed my tooth. It was disgusting. I will never be back. It was VERY disappointing. read more
