Here's a polished Yelp Elite-style version with a natural, engaging tone:…read more Bethesda Bagels in Rockville is hands-down one of the best spots for bagel sandwiches in the area. My go-to is the sausage and scrambled egg on a multigrain bagel; it never disappoints. You can actually watch them making fresh bagels, and it shows. The texture is spot on, perfectly chewy on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. Everything tastes fresh, and service is quick, even during busy times. The staff is always friendly, which makes the experience even better. Their cream cheese is excellent, too rich, flavorful, and a noticeable step up from the typical grocery store options. They also carry cookies and other treats from local vendors, which are definitely worth trying if you have a sweet tooth. If you're craving a solid bagel sandwich, this is the place to go. Bonus: free parking makes it an easy stop.

I couldnt decide which bagel and spread combo to try, but ended up going with the cinnamon raisin and chive spread. At home I usually do that, but with chive and onion, so figured it was worth a try. The bagel was delicious. Lightly toasted, soft, and tasted fresh! The chive spread was a bit too much for me. I think Id stick with plain in the future. The chive was a bit overwhelming, but I am sure those who love chive, would enjoy it. They have several options, including sandwiches and other pastries. Service was pleasant and efficient. There isn't any seating there, but they have a pretty good set up for efficient ordering and pick up. I will definitely be coming back!

The sausage was mild but flavorful, the eggs were fluffy, and the cheese was perfectly melted. The everything bagel itself was crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and definitely tasted fresh. Service was efficient and straightforward, the staff was neutral but quick, and the guy at the register recommended the sausage, egg, and cheese, which ended up being a great choice. The vibe feels like a solid neighborhood bagel spot: clean, casual, and perfect for grab-and-go. I'd definitely come back when I want a quick, satisfying breakfast.

It was very good but could have used a bit more cream cheese. It doesn't measure up to New York city bagels but for around here, these are pretty good. The restaurant is a clean, no frills kind of place with just three small tables indoors and a few more outside. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend this place for bagels.

History of Present Indulgence: Wife and I came for breakfast…read moreafter dropping our dog off at Germantown Veterinary Clinic. This was our first visit. Physical Exam: Food - I ordered the special four cheese bacon bagel that they had on special with tomato and scallion cream cheese. My wife got a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was all impressively reminiscent of a NY bagel. Great density, chew, and crust. The cream cheese was administered generously. Ambiance - The establishment presents as a classic New York bodega with a deli counter layout -- compact, no-frills, and entirely appropriate for its intended function. Great place if you want something with quick service and great food. Service - Quick, functional, and to the point. No complications noted. Assessment: A neighborhood gem and so thankful we stumbled upon it. Royal Bagel Bakery delivers an authentically New York bagel experience in an otherwise unlikely corner of Germantown, Maryland. One downside is they got very plain coffee, but it's the type of place where I'm looking at the coffee purely as fuel, and nothing more. Plan It's so far away but I definitely will try to go again next time I'm nearby. Specialty bagel was a phenomenal choice. Gotta try their cakes next time, which looked crazy good.

You did such a great job keeping the gluten free bagels separately packaged and apart from the regular bagels, so we had no worries of cross contamination. My family devoured the lox and cream cheese mixture. My son and I also love your scallion cream cheese. We all ate until we were stuffed and there was plenty to send everyone home with a bagel doggy bags. Service was a 10++! The restaurant has plenty of seating if you want to eat there. There are tables and chairs for in person dining. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. We took our meal to go and everything was perfect! Thank you Bageltowne Deli!

I was here about a year ago and the place was pretty quiet. Same today. You order at the counter and then they call you when your food is ready. Food came pretty promptly. The omelette was a nice size, filled with green pepper, onion and tomato bits. The potatoes were well prepared and were not dried out or oily. They really are well prepared - nice sized chunks that are charred on the outside and soft on the inside. A little bit of onion in with the potatoes. The toast was toast, but it was good too. Decent coffee. It's not fancy and for milk there's a choice between half and half cups and Coffee-mate. Refills on the coffee are $1. The place isn't fancy. The woman at the counter (possibly the owner) was efficient and it's nice and light inside.
