Bagels Restaurants near Alexandria, VA

“Sitting in an alleyway, I can’t believe I didn’t try this place sooner. That was a good bacon bagel!“

“We ate there and everything was delicious. Tried new foods too. The kids even loved theirs“

“Finally a place that has a fantastic bagels, got a 1/2 dozen and ate 2 by the time I got to my car! Crispy on the outside and soft in the interior! Had the pastrami sandwich and Turkey Reuben for lunch. Also a big plus, they had Brown’s Cel Ray soda!“

“Despite the name, they serve more than pizza. Sandwiches , pasta, etc. interesting options like tandoori pizza or shawarma pizza. Friendly staff. I got a gift card so I just visited for the first time to use it, but I will definitely be back!“

“I'm from Long Island, NY and 100% a bagel snob. I've been to more than a few places here and this place is #1 when it comes to bagels and sandwiches. They used to make egg everything bagels on the daily (my fav) but stopped since I guess not many people bought them, which is the only somewhat negative thing I can say. However, they will make them if you ask for a dozen a day ahead. Either way, their bagels are always fresh and warm and delicious. Their egg sandwiches on bagels are amazing as well! This is the only place that is even slightly comparable to NY and I will stand by that forever!“

“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.“

“Best bagel I ever had! Great customer service! I love this place! Hilltop!“

“I have been coming to Brooklyn Bagel weekly for over a decade. They have hands down the best bagels in the region, and also the best employees (I call them my bagel heroes)! Even with the recent growth of other bagel spots in the region, Brooklyn Bagel remains the best. Absolutely worth the trip! Be prepared for lines on the weekend and bring cash to pay and tip to make the experience better for everyone.“

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

“This has definitely become my new local coffee shop. It’s the kind of place you can go to every day before work starts—it has already become that for me.

The atmosphere is great; it’s a very easy place to get some work done or settle in with a book, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I love coming here in the morning for an iced mocha and their sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The seasoning is excellent and the food is always fresh.

The staff is super nice and they are incredibly quick with orders. I’m already planning on heading back this Saturday with my new read.

Highly recommend!“

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

“Chez Lily has some of the best coffee I've ever had. I stop by every morning, and it's always consistently great. The atmosphere is awesome—super welcoming and a great way to start the day.

The customer service is what really keeps me coming back. Everyone is so friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care. Big shoutout to Iyanna, Kai, and Diego! They're always kind, upbeat, and make every visit a great experience.

Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for amazing coffee and an even better vibe!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Kid said best gluten free sandwiches they have ever had 🤣. It was expensive for us but it was good and in a pinch of trying to find gluten free decently priced in georgetown it worked. Did not get contaminated but did take a gluten digest just in case. Hibiscus tea was pretty good too.“

“Delicious, serious, fast, tasty. And they donate their day-old bagels to food pantries & shelters!“

“So cute, attention to every detail, delicious bagels and latte! This place exceeded expectations with the floral exterior decor on a cold day, friendly and patient service, and neatly packaged, hot, fresh bagels. They have variety of unique bagel flavors and cream cheeses to choose from.“

“This is my second time coming here , the first time I was welcomed with so much hospitality by a worker named Marie Kepsu Simo , she is such a remarkable women with amazing costumer service and I’m just so grateful that u had that encounter with her , she truly made my day. Everything she makes is prepared with love and care!!“

“I have been eating these bagels for years and no other bagels can compare with them.“

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

“Wow what a great find. I came out this way to go to a nearby doctors appointment and stumbled upon this hidden gem. They have a great selection of bagels 🥯, salads and sandwiches. The raspberry-chocolate coffee and bagel were both perfect. Some places don’t get coffee and bagels right but this place does!!!!Lol I’ll make sure to see my doctor again here in McLean, VA instead of MD just so I can stop by this deli. To the owner: My only suggestion is to carry Scones. Also the ladies working behind the counter were very friendly and professional .“

“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!“

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

“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).“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“stopped in while on vacation food was great nice friendly staff reasonable prices“

“I go to the Arlington location more, but you can’t go wrong at any of their locations. This is a great spot when I have business in the L’Enfant area. Cheeseburgers, hot dogs and French fries are excellent, but chicken sandwich is great as well.“
