    Oh, my look at those cookies and rugelach. Next time....
    Joy B.

    Bagel lovers are rejoicing! They just opened a Bethesda Bagels in Cabin John Shopping Center. Unlike other Bethesda Bagels, this one has space to sit and eat your food. It is a clean design with light wood colors and a modern feel. Service was great. The line moved quickly and the person who waited on me was nice and helpful. My order came out quickly. I really liked my bagel with nova lox and cream cheese with chives inside. It was delicious and I can't believe I ate the whole thing. I can't wait to go back and pick up some cookies to go with my bagels.

    Bethesda Bagels @Cabin John-Open Now! Friend/I visited last Saturday Excited-Bethesda Bagels newest location. In the Cabin John Shopping Center Tuckerman Lane/Seven Locks Road-Potomac, MD. The energy electric-all seating full. Yes this location has a few tables/chairs. We got some bagels to go. So Fresh! Great Customer Service. See Photos.

    Everything bagel with chive, 12 oz hot coffee

    The best bagels in the DMV in my opinion. Well priced and delicious. I love the deli feel and am grateful that the Potomac location has seating and is more spacious than Bethesda. I almost always get an everything bagel, with lox or chive cream cheese. Cabin John was in desperate need of a new bagel spot and I'm grateful Bethesda Bagels has opened there .

    That definitely looks like a plain bagel

    Good bagel. Had a nice chewy, portion was good and good cream cheese. I tried the red pepper and would get that again.

    $8 for a huge bacon, egg, and cheese. Delicious. Will be coming back to try other flavored bagels and types of spreads.

    Love this place. The staff is super nice, always greeting us…read moreand making us feel welcome. The food if fresh and tasty falafel is one of the best in the area. Highly recommend, you won't regret it

    I LOVE falafel! Because I just absolutely love falafel so much, I know falafel! I eat it everywhere…read moreI can -- and can safely say this is the BEST! It's accessible with plenty of parking nearby, including several disabled parking spots right out front, is absolutely beautiful inside with stunning black-and-white tiles adorning the counter (where you can order -- although there is also a screen-type ordering system in the entryway, as well) wall, enticing photos of all the important things in life -- those being fresh figs, olives, spices, and unfiltered coffee being poured, all along the wall above the tables with most comfortable seating! There are Turkish plates and copper pots hung above, as well, to give a splendid feeling of how food can be heartily prepared and beautifully served -- and beautifully served it is here! The caffeine-free mint tea comes in a gorgeous metal pot and is drunk from a glass glass (meaning a glass made of glass, not ceramic) with eye-catching decorations that will help to bring you into the spirit of the meal you are about to have .... The Quinoa Tabouli Salad with Falafel is spectacular! It's standout amazing, delicious, refreshingly oh-so-fresh, crispy, crunchy, yummy -- how many good-to-great things can I say about it? If I keep complimenting it as much as it deserves, you might get bored, ha ha! You might think that I'm exaggerating. I'm not. Of course, it's possible I'm biased and have tastes that just happen to align with this particular falafel spot's way of preparing things -- but I think not! I think this is objectively over-the-top in greatness! The District Salad is equally splendiferous and worth your time to indulge in savouring every bite. There are so many great-looking things here I can't wait to try! I must taste the Shorbat Adas (puréed lentil soup), (non-quinoa) Tabouli, Toom, and many other things here! The variety is very wowing! Most places just don't give you this variety in terms of various dishes or the variety within each dish that this place does -- and that contributes greatly to not only your appetite but also your health. So much care is clearly put into everything here from the décor to the drinks to the hospitality. It's really like a mini, super-tasty trip to the Near East -- and welcomes everyone equally. I'm so glad I stopped in! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommended! Very much deserving of an absolute, all-around Yay! :-D (By the way, from a not-falafel fan I know: 'You know I'm not a fan of falafel, but that was really good -- everything! We need not ever go back to the other place -- even if it's free!' What better endorsement could there be?)

    Great little food counter inside Mom's organic Market that sells salads, bowls, juices and baked…read moregoods. They have many vegan and vegetarian options, everything is organic and healthy. Got the vegan black bean quesadilla and mixed berry muffin. At 99 cents each, the muffin is a great price. It looks and tastes homemade, and not as sweet and "cakey" as other commercial bakery muffins. It was moist with sweetness from mostly the blueberries and cranberries (nothing dried, all fresh). Loved it and will buy again. The quesadilla was made to go on a hot skillet. The tortilla was perfectly toasted and crispy. It was stuffed with vegan cheese, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn. The beans were seasoned well (chipotle) and the vegan cheese and veggies complemented perfectly. Came with also a side portion of spicy crema sauce which added a kick to the dish. Staff was polite, food is great! Will continue supporting these businesses!

    Im sorry but the service and portion sizes have gone way down at this location. I've been coming to…read morethis place since it first opened over a decade ago. Back then the food quantity and the service were top notch-great service with a smile and good quantity portion size. Since then, everything has gone downhill and this place is hit or miss depending on who makes your food, not to mention that anything worth having or anything that is not a cheap item has been removed from the menu (ex: hearts of palm, and now even the popular jackfruit tacos!) Only the cheapest ingredients left behind such as beans, chickpeas, onions, cilantro so they can major profit more and more. The menu has become boring to everyone I know with no exciting new items but just the same old and taking away certain items that the customers love. (Other Moms locations I go to switch up their menus with yummy offerings that Ive never seen offered at this location) Their prices have also gone up quite a couple of times since before covid and on top of that their portion sizes have lessened by more than 50% and still they get stingy only at this location when scooping the scoops always shaking the spoon to lessen the portion of each scoop and still finding sneaky ways to raise the prices more or take away anything that might cost more. Ive also noticed they only hire Hispanics now which I don't care but they definitely do not give service with a smile and half the time they don't understand what you are asking for and get rude if you sub or ask for something that might require a change. I am Spanish so of course I understand the language and alot of times they talk bad or whisper to each other right in front of me when you are undecided or make changes to the menu items. In my opinion, a different manager is needed that values customer service as the current manager is rude and does not like when you ask for substitutions and very stingy as well with portion sizes. Back in the day if i wanted half a scoop of one topping and half of another on my tacos it was ok, not anymore. A lot of people who don't come here often rate good as a good lunch spot but when you come here consistency, you start to see the flaws and lack of service,

I don't know why, but I was really impressed by the staff. Friendly, patient, knowledgable and hard-working, they didn't miss a beat while assisting the customers coming in. I love the low maintenance approach with the larger than life mission: helping and giving back to those most desperately in need. After taking my time to walk around the store and take in the iconography, I've gotta say I'm impressed and will come back in the future. The ambiance is def fast casual, but the meal totally feels a cut above. This review is getting long, so I'll end with this: as Ramadan approaches, I'm happy that their is a halal spot on my block that also embodies the reason and motion behind the practice. I'll def slide back at the right time to break my fast, and feel grateful to see a business practicing what they preach.

    This place is divine!…read more Located in the Pike and Rose area of North Bethesda, PLENTY of parking garage options to choose from which is nice - there is one that is right around the corner of the restaurant. The restaurant has a dim moody vibe to it in the interior dinning area, it's very romantic and intimate which I love. Makes for a great date night option for sure. Food is great, very straight forward options so I wouldn't consider the menu overwhelming. We ordered the bouboulina bread, beef tartare and the grilled shrimp for appetizers. For dinner I got the crab cake and my husband got the NY strip - both of which were prepared well. The staff were friendly and very accommodating - I had requested to be seated specifically in the interior dinning area despite booking for outdoor seating (was the only option online to book for the time I wanted). One of the staff members called me back and we were able to shift my reservation time to accommodate the request which was very appreciated. This is my second time here and I love it - highly recommend.

    Amazing place for a cozy, elevated dining experience!…read more First, they definitely nailed the retro-style ambiance. I liked how moody and refined the decor was, with the dark wood accents and super dim lighting, almost like I was transported to a secret lounge in the middle of Pike & Rose. Second, our server was very prompt to greet us once seated. He was patient and attentive as this was our first time and asked for recommendations. For appetizers, we got a seasonal burrata with strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños served with sourdough, and a separate order of wood-fired meatballs. The burrata was delicious, with a satisfying combination of fresh, sweet and spicy, and the meatballs were cooked to perfection! Our main meal included the bouboulina salad (with pecans, dates, and pears), the Maryland crab cake, the smash burger, and the wagyu picanha, all to share. Their standout was definitely the picanha since it was so flavorful and paired well with the flavors of the salad. I would definitely visit again for a special occasion :)
