I visit this cute neighborhood bakery every time I visit DC. The staff is amazing. They remember me every time. Their pastries are amazing, their breakfast sandwiches as delicious and the cupcakes are so yummy. You have to take time and stop in and grab a few things. read more

I loved this place. I ordered an egg and cheese on a croissant and a Caribbean smoothie every time I happened to be on U Street. They were so friendly, too. read more

I really love Bread Bite Bakery! We order our kids' birthday cupcakes from here every year and they are so delicious!!! Google maps is showing that they are permanently closed so I hope that's not the case!!! read more

Everything here is amazing! The bagels, croissants, cheese danish, honestly it's all yummy.

The food is great - simple options that are fresh and quality. We've tried a different sandwich every time and never been disappointed. And the bread and bagels are great to take home. read more

This is a great little neighborhood bakery serving up some delicious bagel sandwiches. Good bagels are hard to come by, and the bagels here are absolutely delicious. Breakfast sandwiches are all cooked to order so everything is very hot and fresh. The only downside is that because of the size of the bakery, this place is TINY, you will need to wait quite a while for your breakfast bagel sandwich. Best to stop for a sandwich when you aren't in a rush. Overall, I would definitely come back because the employees are extremely friendly and the vibe is great. read more

I went this morning for a smoked salmon bagel sandwich and an everything bagel with butter. The prices seemed high at $8.99 and $2.50, respectively. The smoked salmon was skimpy and had one thin layer of tomato and one thin layer of smoked salmon - for almost $10 after tax I'd want a more substantial bagel. That said, it was a great bagel with good chew and a nice sourdough flavor, but could have used more everything seasoning. The everything with butter ended up coming with cream cheese, which my wife isn't a big fan of. This is the second time I've ordered a bagel with butter only to discover cream cheese instead. By the time I've noticed I'm already at home or work and it's not worth the effort to go back. I'm happy Bread Bite seems to be doing well in spite of their high prices (everything seems $1 or $2 too high) and minor ordering errors. read more

I'm not one to leave a review at all. Cupcakes were horrible, I don't like to drag businesses but man. This was for my kids mini birthday and all the kids hated the cupcakes. My son eats everything. Please no cupcakes from here, anything else. BUT, they did have excellent customer service. read more

An everything bagel should be covered in garlic and spices. It's more like a plain bagel with a hint of everything bagel. It is very fresh. read more

This place is so good! Very reasonably priced and a great small business to support.

I just had a Salmon bagel sandwich and it was delicious. I've been looking for a great neighborhood breakfast and sandwich shop, and I can finally say my search is over. The staff is friendly and you can tell the owner takes pride in his bagels. I'm so glad I can support small businesses like this. read more

This is my favorite neighborhood bakery. Can't go wrong here! It's fast, delicious, and open early. read more

Great neighborhood cafe/bakery. Delicious breakfast sandwiches and smoothies! A. A read more

Bread Bite Bakery, a/k/a the bakery by the Ruth Bader Ginsburg memorial, is the best neighbor on U Street. All sandwiches and salads are all fresh, made to order, and worth the wait. The individual servings of tres leches cake, however, are my favorite treat. Soft white, springy cake, under a fluffy whipped cream topping, dusted with just the right amount of powdered cinnamon, soaks in a shallow bath of sweetened condensed milk that is perfect for lapping up the last crumbs of cake. Tip: Keep an eye on it when you carry it home, because if you tip it too much the milk can leak out of the plastic container. read more

Great for take-out bagels (no seating), ordered twice here over 2 days. Bagels are fresh and heated up, sliced and spread with your choice of cream cheese, which is also fresh and tasty. Be aware their menu is very limited on weekdays, and several types of bagels (e.g. whole grain and cinnamon raisin) are available only on weekends. read more

I came here in crisis mode - Au Bon Pain never showed up with breakfast for our board meeting and I needed enough food to feed 16 people fast. Within 10 minutes, Bread Bite Bakery set me up with a coffee carafe, cream, sugar, cups, bagels, bananas, pastries and cream cheese (all for less than half the price of Au Bon Pain's spread). The owners are lovely, kind people. I will do all my catering orders through them from now on. Thank you, Bread Bite!! read more

What a hidden gem. I was looking for a good breakfast bagel sandwich (without having to wait in line and pay for the one I love at CYM), and Bread Bite hit the spot. I ordered the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese on an Everything Bagel with roasted tomato sauce and WOW. Best breakfast sandwich I've had for less than $7. There's a small bar area to sit with 3 stools, and they might be full, so come ready to bring your bagel home or elsewhere (maybe Meridian Hill Park a few blocks away?) The staff are super nice here as well. read more

Bread Bite Bakery is just awesome. Location and service was great. Most everything I've tried until now have been quite good. The crew was very friendly and service is excellent. All around excellent experience. read more

Very nice staff here and I got delicious, fresh baked sourdough here once. But I don't think I'll be going back since I paid quite a bit of money for croissants there yesterday which tasted like they were a few days old. It was beyond disappointing. read more

Stopped in to sample a cupcake for a birthday party and - perhaps I'm just hungry - but that was the most amazing cupcake I have had in a long time. So, just so you know, I will be buying up all the Double Chocolate cupcakes in June. You have been warned, my good people. As my 9 year old daughter says, "Deliciously moist!" read more

I've been waiting for a decent bagel place in this part of the U Street corridor, and was really excited last year when the Bread Bite Bakery had a "pop up" inside the CakeLove shop for a few months. When they announced that they were taking over the space, I got very excited that this could be my go-to place for a pick-me-up or weekend treat because of its proximity to my apartment, the Metro, and pretty much every bus line I use. This week, I tested it out with a breakfast bagel (served all day!) and an iced coffee. The bagel was decent (still no NY bagel, but we're in DC), perfectly toasted, and the bacon was on point. The coffee was OK, but I know that's also not their main business. The space was a little oddly laid out and it was hard to tell where to pay (I can see this being an issue during peak hours), but the staff there was very friendly and were clearly apologetic for working out any kinks in their first few weeks of business. My only hesitations to making this a regular place for me is that the prices were set a bit too high, even for this area--and certainly for a mostly to-go place ($6+ for a breakfast bagel? and $4 for a small iced coffee? I'd be broke so quickly!). I think streamlining the menu (they seem to be trying to do too much -- salads, smoothies, and cannolis along with their bagel and bread business?) might help drive down those prices. Either way, very happy to have them in the neighborhood! read more

This place is horrible. It took over the old Cakelove spot, and I was super excited that maybe a real bakery capable of making something tasty would come in. Unfortunately, they're continuing the same line of thinking of Cakelove -- disgusting, chemical-tasting, awfulness. Their cupcakes were cold and hard (sorry, but you shouldn't have to wait 20 minutes for a cupcake to warm up before eating it -- that just means you haven't figured out how to bake). The cupcakes were rather dry, kind of hit or miss depending on the type. And the icing for all of them were disgusting. Too much sugary fondant nonsense. Repeat after me. NOBODY LIKES FONDANT. It looks nice. That's it. Head over to the Cakeroom on 18th St. if you want something yummy. read more

The chocolate croissants are really good! In my experience, the omelettes were over cooked and a little greasy. Not terrible, but I would prefer my omelet yellow, not totally browned on both sides. I also had a croissant breakfast sandwich that was pretty good. A bit pricey though-$2 and change more than on a bagel. The sausage is basically cut up links. read more

I can't believe I have been walking past this place for two years and never stopped in. I have searched high and low for a decent bagel in DC but have been met with much disappointment. My search has come to an end with this lovely family run bakery. It's in my neighborhood, in between the 14th St and 16th St bus lines, and is very clean. The people who run it are gems and always meet their customers with a smile. I am actively trying to make up for lost time by stopping by frequently, and have yet to be disappointed. I have also tried the homemade bread which is great. It is a bit pricey ($6+ for a breakfast sandwich) and the everything bagel could use a bit more seasoning, but otherwise I couldn't ask for much more. read more

Legitimately the best bagel I have ever had. The man who owns it is so sweet too!!!! 10/10 recommend if I lived here I would eat his everything bagel every single day. But get there early bc he'll sell out of bagels :( read more

Bread Bite Bakery is a pop-up within CakeLove on U Street. The bagels are small for the price but terrific. Crusty on the outside, chewy yet soft on the inside. My husband ordered the ham and cheese bagel, and the ham had a wonderful maple flavor to it. I haven't tried their french bread or rolls, but in the display, they looked terrific, and I look forward to trying them soon. I hope they stick around. read more

Very friendly customer service. The food is made fresh in front of you and was delicious. I recommend the bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich on sesame. To top it off I was curious about their cupcakes and I can honestly the Oreo cupcake is the best I've had in my life. Check it out for yourself read more

Meh. Omelettes straddled the line between fine and disgusting. Cupcake was hard and tasteless.

Thank God a good bagel place in the neighborhood! Nice people and good bagels....and not a chain! Highly recommend.

a few backs back i swing by here to purchase a loaf of sourdough. not only was it affordable, but it was delicious! i want to go back and get the multigrain loaf as well as bagels in the future. i love a local bakery joint. read more

Great coffee and lemonade! The egg and cheese sandwich was delicious on an everything bagel.

Very very mediocre!! Old bagels, very tasteless ingredients, overpriced. I highly recommend you find another place!

Wrong hours. Went around 5pm and they were closed at 4pm. Please update your hours to respect everyones time. Thanks

We love the Bread Bite for obvious reasons... Great prices, sandwiches, bagels, breads and smoothies... But don't miss out on their amazing banana muffins. They sell out every morning. Check out the pics. Congrats Jorge! read more

Bread Bite is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Their bagels are good and the almond croissant is awesome. It's a tiny space, so don't expect to hang out or eat your bagel there. I think as they proceed, they should consider nixing the sweets (cake, cannoli, etc) and maybe think of a better layout for the work space. Either way, I'm happy to have good bagels in the neighborhood. I'll be checking out their bread soon. read more

Possibly the worst chocolate croissant I have ever tasted. Actually, to call this a croissant would be an insult to croissants everywhere. Thick, doughy, chewy. All adjectives that should not be used to describe this french pasty, but alas. Hard pass. read more

In a neighborhood that prioritizes $25, post-noon brunches over quick, straightforward, or pre-noon breakfasts, Bread Bite is a welcome outpost for a breakfast sandwich or bagel and cream cheese. It's sometimes a bit slow, but that's because they make food to order, with usually one or two folks ahead of me (usually neighbors I recognize and share nods with) on any given weekend morning. I have yet to try the baked goods or smoothies, but every time I see someone order one of the latter, I resolve to get one next time. Bonus points that they always, always get my order right, even when I get complicated (which if you read my other reviews is a big deal to me!). read more

I will echo others' statements. The owners are very nice and personable and the bagels are pretty decent (I was craving a bagel sandwich and it hit the spot). The space, however, is tiny and more of a carry out situation and most if not all items are completely overpriced. It is likely that this is due to their location and high rent/space charges, but still. I spent $11 on a bagel sandwich and an iced coffee. I can justify about $7-8, tops. Would probably not return due to price :/ read more

I've been patronizing Bread Bite since the establishment opened. The notion of a neighborhood bakery may seem quaint in this day and age, but, Bread Bite is precisely the sort of specialty food shop that D.C. could use more of, and, which, unfortunately, face difficult economic prospects in competing against deep-pocketed competitors (e.g., Whole Foods Market; Trader Joe's). So, this wonderful bakery is a boon to the neighborhood in an era of ever-expanding chain and big-box stores and is precisely the sort of small business that does the area and the city credit. Needless to say, I'm happy to support the place. The block on which Bread Bite is situated, nestled between 15th and 16th streets, is host to an array of interesting small businesses, including my hair salon, Salon Quency. The space inside Bread Bite is tiny and a bit cramped, but the helpful and friendly proprietor, Jorge, is always on-site, working the long hours that dedicated bread baking and dough fermentation require, and, of course, the baked goods are made on-premises. I buy bagels, baguettes, sourdough and multigrain boules, ridiculously large and flaky croissants, sundry pastries and apple puff pastry tartlets, and all are delicious. I haven't tried any of the shop's sandwiches or other goods, so, my review is limited to breads and pastries. read more
