But good god, why so so cream cheese?

I wanted to check out the OG Bagel Uprising location in Del Ray before their second location opened…read moreup in Ballston, and I was pleasantly surprised by the pricing and the chewiness of the bagels. I stopped by sometime in the early afternoon last Wednesday to grab something for lunch and some bagels to go. SALMON, EGG, & AVOCADO - 10.75 I was pleasantly surprised that three very expensive ingredients in a bagel was only $10.75. I feel like most places charges $14+ for anything with smoked salmon on it. I chose the plain bagel for the least amount of mess (even though the sesame or garlic bagel would have been great). My bagel was perfectly toasted with the perfect chewiness. It was still really messy because this comes with an over easy egg, and the yolk got everywhere. Overall, great bagel sandwich. 1/2 DOZEN BAGELS - 10 The server who took my order told me asked if I wanted 10 bagels for $10 instead -- how could I say no? I grabbed some plains, sesames, poppy seeds, and a garlic. I've only tried the plain and garlic so far, and the garlic is a bit messy and leaves a lingering garlicky smell after I heated it up. I kind of liked it, but not for everyone. My friend enjoyed the sesame bagel! HOUSE MADE VEGAN CREAM CHEESE - 11 I was curious about their version of vegan cream cheese (made of coconut cream and tofu), so I bought a tub to try. It's not bad, but I don't love it. It has a very strong coconut cream flavor, which threw me off, and it melts really easily and does not hold its consistency well. Overall, good try, but I'll stick with regular cream cheese next time. Thankful that Bagel Uprising keeps their pricing more reasonable. I'm excited for their second location to open in Ballston, which is much closer to me.

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.

When I say these bagels revived me, I mean it.

I'm actually not the biggest fan of cream cheese either, because of how overpowering it can taste but thankfully I did not have an issue with my breakfast sandwich. I definitely had better smoked salmon, but beggers can't be choosers. Convenience won out this weekend. Solid takeout spot when you're on the move.

Not bad vs. buying a single bagel around $3+. Service was so fast. But that was mainly because I got only loose bagels. I highly recommend the cheesy garlic bagel - really wish I did 6 of those instead of a variety. If I were to come back here, I'd enjoy the outdoor seating and people watch with a good bagel and some coffee on a nice summer morning or on a crisp fall afternoon right after work! Great place for bagels and happy it's in the water park!

Great little sandwich shop!…read more It's very popular at noontime. I took a break from my 4 hour long painting class upstairs in the Torpedo Factory to snag a bite. My timing was good, because I arrived right before a work group of maybe 10 people or so came into place their orders. In addition to a substantive sandwich menu, which includes both hot and cold sandwiches, there's plenty of beverage (including wine) and snack selections. Wearing an oil paint-smudged apron (FYI: the reality is that you're still going to get paint on your clothes even wearing an apron), I aptly ordered the Torpedo Artist. The Torpedo Artist is a hot Panini-like sandwich. You can select your type of meat, cheese and toppings. By default it includes lettuce, sweet peppers and deli oil. My sandwich was well-crafted with plenty of turkey and Swiss cheese. However, I didn't especially like this sandwich. I wish I had asked them to hold the deli oil because it was overly pungent with oregano. All I could taste in my sandwich was oregano. But older and wiser now, I know in the future that if I have them hold the deli oil, I'll end up with a great and tasty sandwich.
