Got food poisoning from a lox bagel sandwich

Not a bad bagel, chewy enough but not enough for it's namesake. I personally love a very chewy bagel though. Lox was good and fresh and otherwise a ~decent~ bagel. My one gripe being that I do not like being charged for a "lox sandwich with no tomato, onions, or capers". I'm only getting cream cheese and lox, so charge me accordingly. Don't charge me the same price as someone who's getting 3 more ingredients than me.

Non service dogs inside the store should be an immediate no.

Good food but atmosphere makes me want to choose elsewhere.

The food was ok. This was my first time here and I came solely based off of the reviews of others. I was disappointed. Granted I came closer to the end of the day but….. I was not impressed. I ordered a steak egg and cheese and was not informed of my options for topping 😢. I didn’t learn of them until my sandwich was ready for me to pick up and several customers later was offered the same sandwich with toppings 😞. Of course I felt it was to late to change as all bagels were sold out and it had become very crowded. My bagel was a little hard for my liking; and no it wasn’t toasted. Unfortunately I could only compare this to other neighborhood bagel shops and I was disappointed. Not sure if I would be a regular, if I were to visit again I would come closer to opening vs noon.

Parking: It neighbor parking.

Great local bagels. Hot, chewy, delicious. Wish they would use a little less toppings. They get everywhere.

Bagel was so spot on chewy inside and crispy on the outside! Staff were very very kind. Prices are extremely reasonable! I will def be back!

Updated for accuracy:
It's like an old-school Deli but with a limited menu and offerings. There is no seating, and people often wait outside for their orders.
They offer a Too Good To Go bag for $4.99, which isn't worth it. I received maybe a dozen bagels. They weren't tasty or fresh, unlike other TGTG bags from Mae's Whole Foods, Fresh Baguette, & Gustave. These are true leftovers.
Based on this bag, I personally wouldn't bother going back. YMMV.

Best Bagel shop in the DMV, Hands down. I’m from NY and this is the only place I’ve found that compares.
