1/2 (3.5/5) First…read moretime visiting this bagel shop and I was really excited to try it, especially since they have a solid 4-star rating and make their bagels and cream cheese in-house. I stopped by about an hour before closing, which may have impacted my experience. By that time, a lot of the bagels were already sold out. That said, the menu was very extensive with tons of bagel sandwich options and other items. There's also some indoor seating, and they sell a variety of snacks, drinks, and bottled waters--almost like a small convenience store. This definitely seems like a great spot for a quick breakfast on the go. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. One suggestion I'd make is to invest in paper menus or QR code menus--the menu was a bit hard to read, especially with so many options. I ordered three onion bagels to go, along with a container of plain cream cheese and a smaller chive cream cheese. Unfortunately, the bagels were disappointing. They were pretty hard and didn't have much onion flavor at all. On the bright side, the cream cheese was amazing--both the plain and chive were super creamy and flavorful, easily the highlight of my visit. I'd be willing to give this place another try, but probably closer to opening hours in hopes of getting fresher bagels. I can see why people like it, and I think timing really matters here.

That separation was welcome on a day when it was 12 degrees outside with lots of people coming in and out. Ordering is expected to be fast, don't get in line till you know what you want. I had the bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it was quite tasty, and a pretty good bagel for the DC area. The coffee wasn't bad either, but could have been slightly stronger for my taste. A very good breakfast option in the area.

I thought it could have a little bit more honey since there was a price difference between the plain chicken sandwich. The biscuit was soft and pillowy which made it fall apart easily. I also got a cinnamon bun. Not overly sweet but still tasty. I went in the morning, so there was plenty of parking. However if you come after 11 you probably will have to park in the garage since they share parking with Patsys.

The fried chicken biscuit was a treat and less than $7. This is a good place for cookies and cupcakes, too. I brought their holiday cookies to a Christmas party and they were a huge hit!

Let this review be a reminder to Call Your Mother!…read more Call Your Mother started as a neighborhood bagel shop in DC in 2018 and has expanded to several locations, including this Old Town spot and I hear that one will be opening in Wicker Park, my Chicago peeps (if it hasn't opened already). My go-to of a toasted sesame bagel was just perfect, along with the garlic-herb cream cheese. My friend had a gleneagle bagel with candied salmon cream cheese and enjoyed it -- but it was stuffed and overflowing and a little hard to eat. This place is just so charmingly decorated, with friendly people, and nice portions of good deli food. It was also quite crowded (and we went early). Your mom will be happy to know that you're eating well. Call Your Mother!

Popularity hurts quality…read more I've been going to the Bethesda location for about 10 years. My initial take would have been 4-star. I'm from Jersey and have high standards for breakfast sammys. I'm sad to say that my last two experiences were 2-star. The volume of business on weekends has hurt quality. The egg is not runny enough. They forget to toast the bagel and roll. The bacon is never crispy. The sausage is a better option, but is a little oversized. The wait time is the nail in coffin. Today, I ordered at 10:50 AM and the earliest pickup was 11:30 AM. I got a text that it was ready at 11:15 AM. By the time I arrived, it was cold and I had to battle 10+ people who were waiting to pickup their orders.

Great breakfast place. Warm fluffy bagel, cheesy eggy goodness…read more Super grab and go, with different lines for ordering there vs picking up online. I went here twice in a week and ordered the same thing that's how much I love it. Will be back to try a different bagel next time!

This deli is SO underrated! I'm glad I found a review on Yelp and decided to pay a visit because…read moreeverything about them was a positive experience. I've had their bulgolgi sandwich, steak and cheese as well as their chicken pita (my favorite). They don't have an online option (which for me is something they can work on) but I usually place a phone order and in 15 minutes my food is out hot for pick up. Super casual restaurant with a parking lot. Totally worth a visit. They also have a frequent flyer program with loyalty stamps.

They have a variety of snacks and drinks to choose from along with their sandwiches and breakfast. You can tell that this place is part of the community with all the photos of local schools and people and celebrities with the owner, David. Service 5/5 The service here is excellent. All the staff here is so friendly. This is a family establishment and you can feel like everyone treats you specially and not like another random customer. The owner, David, is so nice and once you start coming a few times he'll remember you. Steak & Cheese ($12.49) 3.5/5 A simple but good sandwich. The bread is light and crispy. The meat is tender and chewy and the cheese brings the the whole sandwich together and is so stretchy. The veggies are fresh and add a bit of crunch. It's a bit pricey and the sandwich isn't the biggest but it's a solid sandwich to get once in a while.

All delicious. And I love their cro'gel - croissant bagel. They have them in a large size and a mini. I always get the mini so I can enjoy some pastries too. I do wish their coffee offerings had more, like I always want a chai and they don't have that. But that's okay. I also like that they have a little market with European snacks and treats, makes this place different from others.

Just be nice to the people behind the counter…read more For some reason people that go to lunch here are rude to the people behind the counter and this must stop. I was there to pick up a sandwich for lunch and witnessed very entitled customers treat the staff disrespectfully. Unacceptable. These men and women wake up early and are there everyday with a smile and a positive attitude and people walk into their business and speak down to them. No. Not on my watch. If you eat here, order from here or ask anything of the people tha work here- they deserve respect. The food is great. The tuna, is real, and the sandwiches are hearty. They have a little dining room and lots to choose from and the workers behind the counter deserve your respect and support.

In a word OUTSTANDING. Truthfully, there aren't too many bagel places left out there anymore in the…read moreNoVA area and the ones that are still out there, only about 10% of them are decent, serving authentic, quality bagels and bagel sandwiches. THIS PLACE IS ONE OF THOSE TOP 10%-ers! * Conveniently located (even though I hateeeee that little gummed-up stretch of Main Streer in Fairfax!!) but the shop is on the little side strip out of the fray of the main retailers Ace Hardware and TJ Maxx. Lot parking is abundant for a quick in and out if you're grabbing to go. * SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF and FAST, EFFICIENT SERVICE - I went in around 9AM on a Sat - no long line - walked right up to the counter and ordered - sat at a table and my order was called about 10 minutes later. * It was bfast time and I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sando $8 on a lightly toasted ET bagel - delicious and they didn't skimp on any of the ingredients! The bagel was big, hearty and chewy. A perfect breakfast to go. * PRICES ARE VERY FAIR and I felt I got good value for what I paid. $13 basically for a bfast sando and a bottle of juice (drinks are always a rip-off - $3.50, half the cost of my sando but it is what it is...) * The inside of the restaurant itself is sorta small and cramped - as you walk in, the left side is the ordering side, the right side is the seating area with a good amount of tables and chairs - most importantly, they keep the place neat and clean which is a big deal to me. It's a little dark and drab in ambiance/decor and I could see it getting a bit chaotic if the place fills up and with long lines at the counter. On nice weather days, there are some outside tables. I don't come to this area of Fairfax all that often - just happened to be in the area that morning and literally searched for a bagel place on Yelp and hardly any came up. Fortunately I happened to be close by. When I'm in the area again AND happen to be hankerin' for a bagel sandwich, I'll most definitely come back here again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS INDIE BAGEL SHOP IN DOWNTOWN FAIRFAX!
