It was quite busy in the afternoon but the line moved quickly and we didn't have to wait terribly long for our order either. We'd definitely come back here for the bagels, they were fantastic. Jury is still out on their other offeringa. What we got: Sausage, egg, and cheese on toasted everything bagel with cheddar jalapeno cream cheese - 5* it was perfect and amazing and delicious. Of course it was messy to eat but I didn't mind eating it piecemeal. New Yorker on a toasted everything bagel - 5* my partner loved the sandwich. It was cooked through and warm, had a good distribution of pastrami, sauerkraut, and cheese. Wouldn't mind trying it with a cream cheese added in the future. Pepperoni Roll - 1.5* skip it, it was a big disappointment, especially compared to the bagels. The pepperoni were in long sticks and weren't warm, even after getting the roll toasted. The roll also wasn't the best. Not a worthwhile purchase. read more

Last minute visit to this spot - came for the pork roll with a Philly boy - no complaints! The everything bagels are COVERED with seasoning! Quickly ordered and were served - the place was full of patrons. The prayer wall was a nice touch and saw some people add to it - including me! Well done! read more

Wow - true NY Style bagels in VA! My picky kids will only eat everything bagels that are the way they're used to from New York and these were perfect! I also got the Philly cheesesteak which was great - the bread especially was fantastic. read more

Customer service could use a freshen up. The lady at the register seemed bothered that I was patronizing the restaurant. The bagels are tough and overall an egg and cheese bagel sandwich was lackluster with little to no taste. Staff should keep a better eye on the water dispenser. Myself and others were tilting the dispenser sideways trying to get the last few drops of water out of it. Definitely won't be going back there. read more

I have been grabbing sandwiches and bagels from here for YEARS! Every single time my food is delicious! The atmosphere is great and the workers are kind! Sometimes there is a bit of a wait but that can happen at any restaurant. read more

Scalfani's has some of the best bagels in the area, usually. It's a must whenever I come to visit family in the area. So writing this review is tough, especially because my bagel and service when I was there was great. But I live in MD and wanted to bring bagels home. I ordered 3 blueberry and 3 French toast, in addition to a pork roll egg and cheese I ate on the spot. The sandwich was great and the bagel it came on was also great. So I didn't bother to look deeper into the bag for the loose bagels. When I got home that day and got to prepping the bagels for the morning, I found the bagels (from that day) were already stale and the French Toast bagels seemed small and they looked like they were missing dough under the crust (from under-proofing?). This is so out of character for sclafani's but overall I'm very disappointed with the quality of these. Mistakes happen but throwing either stale bagels or a bad batch into my bag is not cool when you, as the business, know that I'm likely not looking at it deeply until I'm home. Honestly, this has me rethinking if I'll ever get bagels to go from here ever again. I'll be happy to update the review in the future when I go again but this is a pretty deserving 1-star, do better. read more

My friend and I are from Virginia Beach and had to come up here for drill. We came here for a quick lunch break. The food was delicious and fresh. I got a sausage egg and cheese on a blueberry bagel. They were super courteous and gave military discount which was a pleasant surprise. The bakery itself was a very local atmosphere with the smell of bagels and coffee and a decent amount of seating. Definitely going to be coming back! read more

The bagels are chewy yet soft, just the way a New York bagel should be. I got SEC on a French toast bagel un-toasted and it was so good. The subtly sweet and savory combination was perfection. Honestly, the French toast bagel is so scrumptious that I could eat one by itself. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the coffee, but it is a bagel place. I'd say skip the coffee and go straight for the bagels here! There's seating available inside and outside if you want to enjoy your meal there! read more

An absolute gem in Winchester. Bagels are perfect, their cream cheese flavors are on point and their portions are generous. Staff is friendly. My only minor complaints- they are often understaffed, they do a good job communicating this when they are (social media, signs) but it does contribute to the wait and I always feel horrible for the staff that is working so hard to keep up. Hours! So odd for a bagel shop to open at 8, I would likely stop in multiple mornings a week if they opened at 6 but the 8 am opening time means I'm a weekend-only customer. read more

Bagels are delicious. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Reasonable pricing too

Very tasty bagels. Beware that the garlic bagel is very very garlicky, which is probably obvious. Lovely coffee too.

Excellent New York style bagels. Worth the drive. Very good service decent prices overall excellent experience.

When is a bagel not just a bagel? Uh, when it's an authentic New York bagel that's when. I don't know if it's the water or elevation or NY attitude, but there is something noticeable different (and better) about their bagels. So when you are located almost 5 hours away from the Big Apple, but still put "NY" in your name I have to wonder. But my wonder and trepidation was quickly rectified. Now understand this place will not stand out as you pull into the parking lot. Another shop and a row of many. Black and white sign out front, no fancy lighting or loud colors or inflatable creatures to lure you in. But there's a reason for that. When it comes to quality, let your product do the talking. And here the bagels speak loud and clear. You'll catch the aroma as you prepare to enter, but the moment of true nirvana comes when you view the case inside. You begin to read the various flavors and see the cream cheese options and you begin to question, is one bagel really enough? I won't cast my vote toward any one bagel over another, as 1) I have had quite a few and 2) I want you to choose the one(s) that stand out most to you. All I will say is that they are a work of art. If I lived here, I fear they would eventually put a name tag on my regular seat (or maybe that's a hope?). If you are in the area, make time to visit. And to answer the question, no one bagel is not enough. read more

Went there for the first time on Wednesday. I knew they close at 2:00 PM, but got there at 1:30. Got the last blueberry bagel and had a SEC. Also bought a cup of chicken salad to go. Found their coffee pretty good also. I was surprised that they started shutting down almost as soon as I got there, but 2:00 PM means closed, so there you go. I was happy with everything. read more

I usually come here first thing on Saturday morning. Even if you get here when they open at 8 AM, it's very busy. My main concern is finding somewhere to sit. I usually pre-order using the app and get my bagel and cream cheese and coffee so it's ready for me when I get there. If you come after 9 o'clock, there's gonna be a line. The bagel here is decent. I enjoy it although I definitely have had better. The cream cheese spreads have many options but are lacking. A good example is the scallion or the veggie which both have very few pieces of either and they're chopped up too large. The coffee is good, although I'm not a fan of the tiny little creamer things. The pepperoni rolls here are very good as is the bread. I did have a sandwich once and it was meh. I'll just stick to my bagel and coffee here. I would really like to see some kind of jalapeño bagel. The staff here are friendly and they work really hard and I've never had an issue with getting what I need service wise. The app to order ahead is 5 stars! The bagel 4.5. Cream cheese spreads and sandwiches 3. read more

Visited this bagel shop on July 6 while on our way back home to Richmond. What an amazing find. The bagels were the best I've ever tasted. I brought a half dozen assorted home only wishing I bought a dozen. I can't say enough about the French toast bagel of which I was lucky to even get a bite. We also ordered toasted bagels and cream cheese. The garlic onion bagel with lox was the best. Can't wait to visit again. I am willing to make the 3 hour drive for these bagels. Oh and the pepperoni roll was amazing as well. I would also like to add that the bagels are still great today/Tuesday and they were purchased Sunday morning. read more

Stopped by during a short visit to Winchester. Had the French toast bagel with sausage, cheese and bacon. SO GOOD. Also a London fog latte, amazing. Hubby had a breakfast everything bagel which he enjoyed. I wanted to take a dozen to go but unfortunately it was near closing time and they were out. Workers were friendly. read more

Went there for NY bagels. Didn't get NY bagels. Limited variety. Have no idea how to run a bagel store. Asked for a dozen. Rather than take a bag and put the bagels in it she wrote them down. Then while I'm looking at the bagels I asked for she said the ones I wanted were already spoken for. Picked other variety . Then waited. And waited and waited. Then asked what was so hard about putting 12 bagels in a bag , another person had to do that after reading the order off what the first person wrote down then stood and watched while doing nothing . Then told that two of the twelve were no longer available. Had to get two more of what I already had. This is about as far from NY bagel as the moon. The bagels were undercooked and had much too much dough. Never will go back. You'll like it if you have no idea what a real bagel is nor how a real bagel store is run. Incompetent customer service. read more

Nice selection of bagels! You can get a hot breakfast sandwich or a cold salad style sandwich as well. Bagels only. No breads or pastries. Lots of cream cheese options too. My iced coffee was just okay. The girls working the front and back of the counter were working hard. It was nice to support this small local business! read more

Honestly really good bagels especially for Winchester, VA. Quick and fresh, only been on the weekday and it wasn't very busy and the bagels were probably a 8/10 or 9/10 and I'm only not giving it perfection because idk there's always room for some improvement. They also lasted in a zip lock bag for 7 days. I got everything bagels, delish. read more

Excellent bagels, delicious house made cream cheese. Service was quick and shop is cute and clean inside.

Love this place! Exceptional bagels!! Fresh, soft - yummy!! And they don't skimp on the cream cheese. I had their chicken salad on a toasted garlic and onion bagel for lunch today. Delicious!!! The bagel was flavorful but not overwhelming. Perfectly paired with their fresh chicken salad. I've also had their loaves of French bread. Also delicious! Moist, not dry. It's a cute little shop with a very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend!! My only very selfish negative is I wished they opened at 7:30 so I could grab a bagel on my way to work. read more

I found this place on Yelp actually and was super excited to try it! Unfortunately their actual store hours don't match with what is listed online AT ALL. I drove here at 9AM with my toddler in tow (mind u I'm 5 months pregnant) and THE SHOP WAS CLOSED! ON A SATURDAY AT 9AM. This is quite possibly the worst business in Winchester. read more

The bagels are very good, the service is great, and the vibe is pleasant. Easily 9 of 10 overall :)

My first time here and I was absolutely be back! I ordered a French toast bagel with honey walnut cc. I also got an iced coffee! The girl at the counter was efficient but also warm and welcoming! Great service. The bagel tasted so similar to a NY bagel and the cream cheese as real walnuts in it. Amazing spot for bagels read more

I said I recommend this deli but I do so half hearted. I ordered a 6" steak sub that should have been just steak, cheese and mayo. However, when I got to my room in Fairfax...it was loaded with peppers and onions which I SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO LEAVE OFF. Not sure where the communication break down was but this is unacceptable. Order from here BUT check everything you order. read more

I have never been a bagel person until I came here. These bagels are unreal!!! So far I've only tried the blueberry bagel with the blackberry cream cheese but I'm a customer for life.

Great bagel! The best I've had in a while. You can taste the freshness. These are real New York Bagels style, I wish I lived closer to shop here more often. The customer service is great, and the people preparing the sandwiches do a great job too. I felt that I got a great sandwich for the money I paid. I will happily go back to Sclafani's for bagels again. read more

Lovely deli, hot spot on a Saturday morning even at 10 am! Bagels were super fresh and soft, fast service and good coffee.

Always wanted to try this spot and so here I am. It was pretty busy but customer service was great. I couldn't decide between the cranberry or the French toast bagel, but I got the French toast bagel and I made it a sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese. Overall it was good! The egg was a little runny but l overlooked it. The bacon was crispy just the way I like it. However next time I go I'll just order the bagel and stick with cream cheese! read more

I keep ordering the BLT with basil pesto cream cheese because I could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner, but I should probably start trying other flavors too lol The employees are very friendly and the manager is very professional!

.50¢ for each addition on a sandwich in addition to a check out fee. The prices are already high and they never toast the bagel when asked (when they do it's the outside rather than the inside) and half the time my order is wrong. Not sure if I'll be coming back. This is getting absurd. read more

This place is truly a gem. You know the food is top notch when you walk into a business and there's people scattered throughout shortly after opening. Sometimes the wait can be a little longer than your typical bagel shop or fast food chain. But the wait is worth the quality. As others may have stated the prices are also higher then other places around, but does the food taste as fresh/flavorful? Probably not. This shop is a must! Such a cute shop with so much to offer. **they open at 8 am and do a business, so get there early or you may be disappointed** read more

Unfortunately, this place has gone down hill. The bagels are still good, but the service is lacking. Bought 2 dozen bagels and 2 bagels with cream cheese. They put the bagels with cream cheese in the bag with HOT bagels- seriously, keep them separated. Also the veggie cream cheese had very few veggies and the honey nut cream cheese was just plain cream cheese. The staff is rude as well. Too bad because I really did like this place, but with the new owner, it's gone downhill. Not worth the drive anymore. read more
