Bagels Restaurants in Washington, DC

“Bagels were delicious and customer service was outstanding. I also witnessed the staff being kind to people in their community. It was a small act of kindness but it showed me the type of business it was. I will be back every time we are in town and I recommend everyone to visit here and support them.“

“they give you more than ypu need. fulfillment!!“

“This is a super small, unassuming little shop, but it is an absolute must-try. The bagels are incredibly delicious, chewy, and fresh. They have a brilliant selection of both bagel varieties and spreads/toppings, meaning there is something to satisfy every craving.

The only crucial thing to keep in mind is that they do not accept card payments. It is strictly a cash-only establishment, so make sure to come prepared. If you are looking for a top-tier, no-nonsense bagel in D.C., I highly recommend checking this place out!“

“We came for a weekday brunch. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and a spinach omelet. The delicious sandwich was on a beautiful grilled bagel, and the egg portion was generous as was the cheese. The omelet was stuffed full of saites spinach, mushrooms, sausage and cheese. It was served with homemade potatoes and toast. We finished the meal with a generous fruit cup that was also delicious. The only thing that would have made it better was eating on a real plate and not paper. However, the food is totally worth making this a regular stop!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed the best bagels and coffee at this place! We had two different bagel sandwiches and both were delicious!“

“Sylvan Cafe has a quiet and quaint atmosphere with lovely jazz playing in the background. The staff is very kind and lovely and the food comes out fast.

The food is amazing and I mean really good for the price. 17 dollars for a veggie platter, is an amazing deal and the quality is out of this world it tastes delicious. Would recommend for anyone passing by in the neighborhood to stop by and support this small business.“

“Great bagels and staff. Having lived in Philly and NY, I came to DC with a high standard for bagels. Call Your Mother is the truth.“

“Great food and drinks! Lovely atmosphere! My favorite are the Belarusian and Ukrainian dishes like borscht and bliny. Also, love the light desserts.“

“Great staff with the best bagels I ever had. The Oriole is delicious.“

“Great buffet and grill that feels like home. The owners are like family! Chef does a great job!“

“I love this bagel spot—it’s consistently good, and the staff is always genuinely friendly. It’s more of a grab-and-go place than somewhere to sit and dine, but they do have a small table inside and a couple outside.

They’re also pet-friendly, which I really appreciate. They’ve given my dog bacon before. It’s those small, thoughtful touches that make a place stand out.

Anytime I’m craving a bagel, this is where I go. The spreads are great, and the menu is well-curated—plenty of solid options without feeling overwhelming.

Also, a small but underrated detail: they usually have good music playing, which makes the experience and wait time that much better.“

“This is a great cafe! It is very affordable and the fare is really good-- simple ingredients, very thoughtfully combined. For example, you can get an avocado toast for $6.50 that tastes very homely, fresh and natural. Similarly, the chicken pesto bagel is great. The bread is always toasted to a perfect extent. The waitstaff is also very nice, Diego in particular. There is also a high bar with 8 seats facing the window which is wonderful to work at because you get a lot of natural light and a view of the street-- at least one of these seats is usually available for working.“

“One of the best bagels I’ve ever had. Most definitely would reccomend. I had an everything bagel toasted and was only $2.75. There is also free water there and honey, etc. Nice atmosphere with a window to see the cats at the next door cat cafe. Prettt aesthetic seating location and many options that are very reasonably priced.“

Everything she makes is prepared with love and care!!“

“Wish there was one in Lexington Park ;) One on my way to work would be super sweet for everyone. *I share 😁“

“We stumbled upon Baked by Yael when we visited the Old Town Alexandria’s farmers market and David was wonderful and helped us discover their cake pops and that our little guy could eat them! We then had the pleasure of speaking with Yael when we visited the shop in DC. We had a cookie bar, black and white cookie (divine) and more cake pops that our kiddo could have! Finding a place that understands food allergies and has items that we can eat has been amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Love this place. Walk in the door and immediately to the right is Lawd Shawarma! A wonderfully warm meal of fish & eggs with vegan bread and Christmas-spiced Sorrel / Hibiscus drink. No matter what they call the next respiratory illness, no matter if you need to starve a flu or feed a cold. Problem solved for me. Lawd! I thank you.“

“Lol at the reviews here. We are not in New York. Understood. These are good DC bagels. This is also not a full service restaurant. It's primarily online orders. They will take your order in store, but it will take time if they're busy. Level your expectations, enjoy your bagel.“

“Leandra was amazing! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Her energy was everything,friendly, attentive, and just an all-around great vibe. She really had the bar popping and brought such a fun atmosphere to the whole experience. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in the way she connects with people. Great service, great energy, and definitely someone who makes you want to come back!“

“Amazing bagel/ breakfast and sandwich spot. Super fresh and reasonable prices. Tons of options.

Be sure to check your order before leaving; I didn’t check my bagel this morning and there’s a ton of bacon on it and I had to throw out the whole thing (I can’t eat pork).“

“something quick, delicious and friendly staff.“

“The Chicken Avocado Wrap was really good, and seemingly a great deal at $10.90, but somehow when I added a Snapple tea, the total came to $15.84. That leads me to belive that unpriced drink was like $4. Moral of the story, those unpriced drinks is where they make up for the lower entree prices.“

“Got my order wrong once but other that it a cool spot.“

“Great sandwiches! Today I enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito. It was outstanding! Nice and fresh! The beef and chicken cheesesteaks are also delicious!“

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
