    Deli side
    Dakota M.

    Found this place via Yelp search and so happy we did! Came here for breakfast to try out the pastrami, egg and mustard (OMG Yes!), and some bagels with schmearrrrr! The chewiness of the bagels and the flavors were spot on! I have added it to my must do again in the area, and have already texted all my local friends to tell them to come here!

    Really yummy bagel with veggie cream cheese! The wait was only about 15 mins on a Saturday morning. It was full of gourmet treats inside so I didn't mind waiting as I shopped around. Oh! And the donuts were amazing.

    I actually teared up a little. The everything bagel seed coverage, the chew, the lox ratio - absolute 10/10 A place that takes this seriously

    Steak + Cheese
    Ben M.

    This was an exceptionally good sandwich. I ordered the Steak + Cheese and was able to get several meals out of it. The bagel chips were a unique and delicious touch. Great value!

    My salt bagel was pretty good, crispy where it matters and chewy too--but the sad pitiful lone end slice of tomato sorta ruined it. So I went in and offered to pay for some more tomato but the counter clerk, although she went and got me some, seemed irked I asked for more. I really hope the success of this cute little bagel shop doesn't hinge on their marginal cost of tomatoes. I'll try it again sometime.

    Loved this bagel and sandwich shop! They have tables outside. They have delicious bagels and sandwiches. We ordered the Friday special a jalapeño cheddar bagel with a smear of veggie cream cheese and a classic Reuben sandwich. Love a classic deli that has Dr. Browns in their drink fridge. They also sell local and high end products perfect for gifts. Awesome spot!

    Veggie melt
    Olivia S.

    Excellent bagel chips and bagels ! Lunch sandwiches are meh. I ordered online and selected the veggie AND it came on a pre-made roll (not made there) which I am not sure why that was the default option. It was a melt that was good that would have been better on rye or a toasted bagel. Service was fast. Easy location for parking and pick-up.

    Bacon egg and cheese bagel

    Picked up a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich on a rainy day and it was really good. There's no seating inside so I didn't get coffee but it looks like they might have seating in the future.

    As someone who loves a great breakfast sandwich to start the day off right, I can't believe it's been so long and I haven't done a post of this awesome bagel spot! When I say I love chewish deli I truly mean it! Any and every friend or family member that visits, it is a must to take them here. Recently went on a morning bike ride with a friend and to finish off the ride we stopped by Chewish Deli. It is an awesome little, local bagel shop that offers a variety of bagel options and subsequent breakfast sandwiches as well. They do offer coffee/tea and some juices as well. Though I have never been for lunch, I do know they sell lunch food as well which. The service is awesome, for such high traffic/volume the staff is always very friendly and helpful with answering questions! The only downside side, is they don't really have much seating so you likely won't be able to eat there(so that's why I am giving it 4 stars), but they have recently put out a few chairs in the front. But still very limited seating overall. Good news. however, it looks like they are expanding into the other half of the building, so I am hoping it goes from a pick up spot to a place you can also sit down and enjoy the delicious bagels and breakfast that they offer!

    I decided to check out this bagel spot in Old Town Alexandria, and I wasn't disappointed. It was easy to find and there's street parking available, which was perfect for a Sunday morning. The wait wasn't long at all, and I loved that they let you know when your food will be ready. The ambiance is nice. It's small, there is seating outside. I grabbed an everything bagel with jalapeño cheese spread and turkey (plus lettuce) and a white chocolate coffee. Let me just say the bagel was amazing! Perfectly chewy and fresh, and the spread added a nice kick. The coffee was okay, but it wasn't anything special. They don't have whipped cream or foams, so if you like sweeter, more decadent coffee, this might not be for you. But if you're there for the bagels, you're in for a treat!

    Everything bagel with lox cream cheese
    Meagan S.

    Not much says you've chosen the right bagel place like a line out the door and several customers waiting outside for their orders. Despite a busy crowd, I was in and out with my bagel in less than 15 minutes. I can't ever turn down an everything bagel, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. The lox cream cheese was generous in quantity and amount of lox. Staff were friendly and food was delicious.

    Cute small bagel shop in Alexandria! The people who work there are nice and they have cute decorations. I ordered the everything Bagel and it was pretty good! You can tell they make their eggs fresh and don't use the frozen premade ones.

    BEC
    Patricia S.

    Cute little shop in Alexandria. We got a BEC on an everything and a veggie cream cheese on everything bagel. The BEC wasn't anything special, but I really liked the veggie cream cheese. Service relatively fast.

    Nice bagel shop located in Del Ray district of Alexandria. This business is tucked away in a nook…read moreof Mt Vernon Ave and is not as obvious as other street side businesses. They offer a large assortment of fresh made bagels, a large assortment of cream cheese varietals/spreads along with their fresh house made coffee. All of which are quite tasty. Aside from the bagels they also offer a large assortment of bagel sandwiches. This is a counter order operation with no inside dining available. Uncovered outside picnic tables are available if you want to enjoy your food on the premises which we did on this glorious spring day. Relative to staff they are super friendly and efficient in getting the food out which is important as this business is quite popular on Weekend mornings in particular. Overall if you like fresh bagels than this business should be right up your alley.

    Excellent bagels and a friendly staff…read more Orders are prepared quickly. Bagel Uprising has a couple of downsides that could easily be remedied. First, the website doesn't allow you to look at the menu directly. You have to go thru the pretense of creating an order, with pickup date/time required before you can view the menu. And at the restaurant, the menu is on the exterior of the front door, so you need to memorize what you are going to order before going inside. I ordered the Del-Rachel (AKA Turkey Reuben). This was a delicious bagel sandwich. It's comprised of turkey, Swiss cheese, coleslaw and a special sauce. The Del-Rachel comes with some fabulous kettle chips and a pickle. I was able to request a sesame bagel for the sandwich. I wasn't down completely with the idea of coleslaw on a bagel, but they let me have the coleslaw on the side. What they call a creamy caraway coleslaw was actually tasty. In the end, my Del-Rachel was great and I will definitely be back. It may be a little difficult to find Bagel Uprising because it is set back from Mt. Vernon Ave and sandwiched between two other businesses. Also, note that although there is no indoor seating, there's plenty of picnic tables out front.

We each ordered a traditional Turkish coffee and an assortment of baklava to share. Grabbed a table near the windows and our coffee was brought to us quickly. I ordered the Mandin and was a bit nervous to see how small the coffee cup was. I expected a strong bitter taste, but was surprised at how smooth and flavorful the coffee was. The coffee is presented on a beautiful platter and with complimentary Turkish delights. They were soft, chewy, and a bit perfume-y. Felt like a tea party but in Turkey! The baklava was flavorful and sweet, perfectly paired with the coffee. We took some cute photos inside. Was a great time! Would definitely come again to try out the rest of their menu. Great place to bring coffee-lovers and people visiting from out of town.

    Rating only as a coffee shop, I was quite pleased with my cup of Joe, where it was full-bodied,…read moresmooth and with no harsh notes. Service was quick where I enjoyed my cup outside on one of their tables adjoining the business. Besides coffee, they would appear to serve the full assortment of drinks you would expect to see in a barista type operation as well as sandwiches where they serve breakfast and lunch during the course of the day. Nice! Overall, if you're looking for a quick cup of coffee that is not a chain coffee then this is an excellent option for you especially if you are in the area. The other key thing to note is this shop opens at 6 AM Monday through Friday so if you're an early riser like I am, keep that in mind.

It was the perfect spot to do just that. you walk in and can feel the spot is a neighborhood gem. that being said, i felt like a slight outsider being new there--not a them thing, just a me thing :). They deff have regulars. It's smal and cozy; the furniture is mismatched and i LOVE that. Now, if you have customer-anxiety, i like to call it, i would deff look at the menu beforehand so you know what to order. I walked in and there was a couple sitting closest to the cash register and i was like "oup!! can't take too long. everyone knows i'm here and i need to make a quick decision" so i just ordered quickly without really the taking time to look at the menu (whenever i go to new coffee spots i like i choose a fun, unique drink if they have it and i just derped). SERVICE: The owners were running the cash register on a saturday morning. I love me some business owners! So it made me happy to support this business. they were quick, kind, and efficient. The drink was made QUICKLY! I was in and out in under 8 mins. So saturday morning around 10:30am/11am -- i got quick service. FOOD: The iced coffee was so yum. I got a small iced vanilla latte. It was honestly perfectly. I like my iced coffees sweet but not too sweet. I didn't have to add anything but i could still taste the coffee profile. it was a joy to drink. for a bite to eat, i had the corn muffin (pretending to make myself feel better about eating something "healthy"). It was AMAZING. Totaled around 11 bucks. Definitely crumbled easy while eating it, as I was breaking pieces off with my hands while I chatted. All in all, i'd come again for sure.
