1/2 I drove 16 miles to try Bobby's Bagel Café in Oakton after hearing good things about it. I ordered the Nova Lox bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was fresh and enjoyable, but the overall taste was fairly average and didn't quite justify the long drive. Still, it's a pleasant local spot and worth visiting if you're in the Oakton area. read more

Founds this for those soccer mornings when we just haven't had time to eat or get enough coffee between games--Bobby's bagel cafe has bagels and sandwiches and coffee. Yesss The bagel sandwiches we had were yum. The only thing is they got our order wrong so we didn't get the right bagel for each of ours. It took such a long time to get it that we couldn't be bothered to get it fixed and just ate it as is. The coffee was strong (as I like it). Plenty of seating but no AC that day so the doors were open and flies were buzzing everywhere. Would come back but I wondered if this is more of a to go place? Also picked up some of their second day bagels--still good! read more

The food is fine but the amount of spread they put on the bagels is next to nothing. Either charge less or put more spread on it. It's pretty ridiculous. read more

First time trying this place. I ordered (online) a chicken club bagel, toasted, a cranberry bagel w/cream cheese and a chocolate eclair. Not really sure what the meat was on the sandwich, it was not toasted and had sat around long enough to get soggy. When I arrived, they told me they were out of cranberry bagels and that they don't sell eclairs any more. So I had to sub at pickup for a raisin bagel (there were 4 raisins in it) and a chocolate croissant which was pre-wrapped in cling wrap and therefore no longer flaky. Really disappointed in pretty much everything. Will not be returning. read more

Ordered catering... Lox and Bagels platter... I know my lox and bagels food, and this platter was excellent! Seriously... much better than Weg or Whole Foods... Of course it's not Brooklyn, but the best in the DMV hands down! The young man in Oakton shop did excellent work. I will order again for another party read more

My first experience with the cafe was back in November to try their pumpkin bagels. The staff was okay: not as friendly as I would've imagined. The cafe is almost always empty when I stop by, but I do stop by at random hours. They have plenty of tables and chairs for anyone wanting to stay and hang out. It's clean and pretty orderly. The bagels are good, but I think it's their different flavored cream cheeses that deserve the recognition. I love their jalapeno and garlic & herb cream cheese. I would prefer more jalapenos on the jalapeno cream cheese, but it's still really good the way it is. The bagels can be pricey if they are the special one. Overall, an okay experience. I will continue to stop by on certain occasions when in the area. read more

You know I had to get their iconic pumpkin bagels after I saw it trending on tiktok! To my surprise it's right next to my home! What a win! The pumpkin bagels tasted like a regular bagel, but like a cooler one "I'm not a regular bagel, I'm a cool bagel" Its bright orange color and shape was so perfect for a fall brunch! read more

We love this place. The sandwiches are fantastic. The portions are large and the food is fresh.

We found our new bagel place! Even the $2.97 half dozen bag of day old bagels were amazing. These bagels are crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside, just like NYC. They also don't skimp on the cream cheese. Regulars read more

Been here many times, can't believe I haven't done a review. We order online to customize for quick pick up. Fam likes the bfast sandwiches, pescatarian daughter gets the Nova Lox. I love their honey walnut cream cheese but try to resist when on diet. Have also ordered some seasonal platters like for Vday - they bring a creative spin on boring bagels. Good coffee, only complaint- they don't have ice Chai Latte (only hot). Friendly service, nice seating area just to sit & slow down. read more

The ambiance of this place is a chill vibe you could take friends or kids. Not really a date vibe, but their bagels are really good. I got the pizza bagel which was excellent and the breakfast bagel with sausage egg and bacon. The service was excellent and they were very nice. Their cookies were also very good. Overall think their bagels are a bit pricey, however they are great. read more

I really wanted to love Bobby's Bagel Cafe. As a celiac who is severely allergic to dairy, I have limited options when it comes to bread and especially bagels. I heard about Bobby's in a gluten free forum and decided to give them a try. When we finally found the store (difficult because there is no obvious signage (yes, this was a Chesapeake Bagel Bakery, so cross contamination beware) except for a small paper on the door. You don't even realize it's open because the lights aren't on in front and the few people that were there were sitting in darkness. The store looked like it was condemned, the bathrooms had homemade not in service signs and the floor didn't look like it had been cleaned in a while. The front had the bagel offerings and the gluten free ones were individually wrapped in plastic wrap. The person working didn't know if they were all vegan but took a guess (and based on reviews I read I knew which were). I bought two, but the pricing was ... ridiculous. Total was $9.50 for two bagels (no fillings, not toasted, just the bagels.) I can order from the mecca of gluten free bagels in New York for cheaper than that... Were they good? Yes. Would I come back? Not to this location and really only to the other two if I was out and really ill prepared and hungry. Not the type of business I want to support. read more

The ABSOLUTE WORST business ever. The most unprofessional place I have dealt with in a while. I placed an order for pickup 3 days in advance and when I showed up to pick it up they hadn't filled my order and were sold out of everything. The two people in front of me also didn't have their orders filled and had to get refunds. I would NEVER go here. The place was also dirty and had leaves all over the floor. I drove 30 minutes out of the way to get treated like this. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

TL;DR, this place is trash. Go literally anywhere else. This place is an absolute MESS. Not a single table was clean despite not being very busy. They give you an order number but then don't use it when letting you know your order is ready. So another customer was given our order. What's the point of the number then? I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and half of the bagel had cream cheese, luckily I ate that half first. The other half of the bagel was visibly smothered in butter instead of cream cheese. It was very obviously butter, as it was yellow and smelled like butter. As if an employee mistook butter for cream cheese maybe? When I notified an employee he just said "that's cream cheese." I had to show him the wrapper with what is clearly cream cheese compared to the glob of butter they gave me. read more

Went here for the (5$) pumpkin shaped bagel & ($2.50) cream cheese. Prices were pretty steep. The place didn't look very hygienic, there was a dead bug on my table. The place could definitely use a remodel. I also got the chipotle chicken panini which I saw them heat up in a microwave. It wasn't very good at all, I ended up throwing most of it away. read more

I tried Bobby's Bagel Cafe a couple days ago but was severely disappointed. I ordered an egg, ham, and cheese bagel and a bagel with cream cheese. After I left, I found my first bagel to be without an egg. So, I went back to have them correct that. Got the right sandwich and left. I had eaten half the sandwich when I found a hair in the egg. Although the hair is what got made me stop eating the bagel, quality wise, some of the worst bagels I have ever had. Flavor was off and they just use a microwave to heat up the egg, ham, and cheese sandwich. For a food establishment, using a microwave is just low grade. I do not recommend this place!! read more

Great bagels and sandwiches. I appreciate that they have a gluten free bagel that is very good. The service is also top notch. Nice small business feel. read more

I love Bobby's cafe. Small, family owned place. I come about once a week. I usually spend a few hours here after I drop my daughter at school and get some work done. Staff is friendly always friendly and they make the effort. The bagels are always fresh. I like their smoothies too. The owner came to introduce herself and made me feel so welcome one time. I like that they have vegan options and the WiFi is strong. read more

We gave them a chance despite their reviews, as our typical bagel place closed early today. Don't make our mistake. The restaurant looks unkept. You can pick up the "fully cooked" bacon on any grocery shelf. The sausage was high school cafeteria grade. Although the bagels were cute, just don't do it. There was little to no flavor. Extremely overpriced. Oh, and they forgot two of our bagels. read more

I have given them a chance over and over to demonstrate they are worthy of my business and they are not. The restaurant is always a mess, nothing functions, the service is unfriendly and lazy, and they are constantly short stocked. Very disappointing. read more

I like the new location. The bagels are a good size and cream cheese is quite tasty! I'm not as much of a fan of the breakfast sandwiches (just OK), but for a simple bagel and cream cheese, it delivers! I usually go for half a dozen bagels and cream cheese to go. read more

The bagels were delish!!! The service was horrible!!!!! I didn't catch the name of the young lady at the register, but she was extremely rude. She was very distracted and took my order wrong and then had the nerve to look upset when I told her the order was incorrect. It was pretty empty in there when I was in there, not so much of an ambiance. Customer service is very BIG in my book. I used to own a bagel shop a few years ago in Brooklyn, NY. read more

Saturday morning, very long lines, very slow service, a single cashier overwhelmed, attempting to answer the phone and pay attention to the customers in front of him. At 10:30 am there were just 2 cinnamon raisin gluten free bagels left. And no vegan cream cheese. And no hazelnut coffee. Extremely disappointed. Will definitely not return. read more

After a blood test I was trying to find a place close by to eat and I end up here. The capuchino was ok. However maybe they should offer the option of light, regular or extra cream cheese before adding one pound of it to my blueberry bagel. The. Angel it self was delicious after whipping the extra from it. Oh well now I know! read more

Food: The food is OK. Bagels are good, breakfast sandwiches were our go-to the last couple months. Environment: They have a serious fly problem. I didn't notice this a few months ago but the last visit last weekend (around 7/16/23 I think?) I saw a few flies flying around and by the table on the left where you get napkins etc., there were a ton of flies on the wall. Made me really hesitant to return. It was nice they were so close to home and the church I attend but I think I might go elsewhere from now on... read more

Excellent bagels and you can get a bag of day-old bagels if you like. Exceptionally good service. They serve Nova Lox at a very reasonable price. The tub of whitefish salad, available in the cooler, is excellent. Large menu of all kinds of bagels, including my favorite salt bagel and the everything bagel. Pretty sure this location is a former Chesapeake Bagel Bakery. The new store is much better!! read more

This is my favorite bagel place in the state and I've been to a lot of cities in VA. Their bagels are soft and dense on the inside but offer a nice crunch on the outside. The Everything Egg bagel is perfection offering a sweet salty taste. Do yourself a favor and add a cinnamon roll to your order. They're top notch! The service is always fast and professional. They have comfortable chairs to eat in and enjoy the morning. read more

Real bagels! In NoVA. I've only ever found two other places between C-ville and Ffx that have legitimate bagels. And this is at the top of the list now. My kid flipped over the rainbow bagel but for me, I knew it was a real bagel the second I started slicing them. They give just the right amount to show they were super fresh but still had a nice chewy outer layer. The schmear was actually schmear and not just plain cream cheese with chopped things in it. The texture was right and so was the flavor. Definitely a must try. read more

We've been getting our bagels from Bobby's for years now, so from a bagels stand point, they are THE BEST!! but unfortunately, the staff has been very unfriendly. In our last visit, one staff member was pulled out to take our order. Their latex gloves were soaking wet from God knows what they were doing when they started to touch the bagels. The bag became wet as well as the bagels. We had to tell them we'd like them to please change their gloves and give us new bagels. In a time where there are so many germs and viruses circulating, basic proper food handling is essential! That is the minimum basics when going into a food establishment commanding top dollar! read more

Best Bagels in Oakton/Vienna. Very large and fresh bagels. The cookies and muffins are excellent as well.

Poor service and did not resolve customer service issue. Runs out of bagels on Saturday mornings.

My son went in to order food from this place and was the only African American in the establishment at the time and he was racially profiled. He was asked to see his receipt that he paid on numerous occasions even after getting his food to head out of the door. It's so sad that this is still happening today. I will not be supporting this establishment. I I would leave zero stars if I could. read more

Bobby's Bagel was very packed! They had wifi which was great for when I was waiting for my bagel. It seems like a very good spot to just relax and do work while you eat. The one thing I will say is the bagel item that I ordered was steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. I found that the bagel lacked cheese. I wish there was more cheese on the bagel, but it was really good. I would go back. read more

Heard they had a festive bagel so I headed over to try it out! It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking which was great. The cashier was nice and let me take my time in ordering. They also gave me a bag of day old bagels half off which was nice. I would visit again! read more

I ordered a egg & cheese bagel... first mistake the eggs were like rubber or pre-made, absolutely disgusting. I couldn't even take a second bite before I tossed my bagel. The place also had a dirty feeling to it. Safe to say I will never return! read more

This is one of two bagel places within reasonable distance from my office. That is really the only thing they have going for them. That, and their jalapeno cream cheese is tastier than most. Everything else is sub-par or worse. Their bagels are just barely a step above the kind of bagel you get at, say, dunkin donuts or starbucks. Their toaster setting is odd because if you get them regular toasted, they are barely warmed, but if you get them double toasted, they come out burned. And then we get to the biggest problem with this place - the employees. Any time I've been in, they take awhile to attend me, then when they do, seem irritated to have to take my order. They are gruff, disinterested, and so slow! They act like they're doing you a favor just by being there. If the other place was just a little bit closer to my office and had better jalapeno cream cheese, I'd never step foot in here again. read more

Ordered three days in advance got there and they said they didn't have anymore food worst service out of any restaurant I've ever been to.

Solid homemade bagels. Poofy and fluffy and a great texture. They have great bagel sandwiches too with eggs. The everything bagel is just a little too salty. The cream cheese is good and they are generous with it. The coffee is pretty mediocre and the pastries (we got the blueberry muffin) taste a couple days old. But hey, if you want coffee and pastries, pop over to Dunkin in the same shopping center. read more
