Update: went again for a second time and service was even better! They threw in 3 extra bagels that they would've thrown out or donated (not sure) with my order for FREE! I was able to enjoy them for the whole week. Consistent, top notch quality! I will surely be back for a 3rd time. read more

The bagels are good with a large selection and the workers are really kind and professional. The bathroom and overall appearance of the place is clean and tidy. The bad is the prices are a little high and the music in the dining area is God-awful horrible. They pipe in some classical funeral music and it's extremely annoying and almost will turn your stomach. I think they want to discourage ppl from dining in. A little classic rock, jazz, ir pop would be better. read more

Okay, let's talk the food, nobody cares about customer service or any of that other crap. We're talking bagel quality and bagel sandwich quality. Which I believe is excellent. First you can't call yourself a real bagel place if you don't sell sun-dried tomato and egg. The sun-dried tomato bagel slaps, as the kids say. The bagels are fresh, and the bagel sandwiches are good too, I prefer getting the phillly steak egg and cheese bagel and add cream cheese along with it, it always hits the spot. read more

I placed a order for a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on a toasty which is a focaccia with red peppers and I asked for veggie cream cheese spray on my sandwich and was charged $2.69 for each side of cream cheese?!?!?! Then the hash brown was thin and was two dollars.the breakfast sandwich was amazing though I must admit. The place was very clean and efficient with barely any wait time read more

I live in Kingstowne and this is my go-to spot for a quick breakfast. Normally, I get a sausage/egg/cheese on an everything bagel but occasionally I get the Ranchero wrap. The Ranchero is huge with 3 eggs, tons of meat protein (bacon/ turkey or pork sausage) and spicy cream cheese. I also travel a lot for work and either pick up a quick breakfast sandwich or swing by to buy some bagels and their in-house cream cheese (which is way better than store bought in my opinion) for my trip. Service has always been fast and friendly. For those dining in- the location has plenty of parking and ample tables and chairs. Many patrons are regulars and the noise is not too high. Terrific spot! read more

Good tasting bagels but of course little competition in the area so not much to compare with. My main complaint is that the lox and bagel came out to $14.50 with tax (two weeks ago it was $3 cheaper). That's a bit much for a bagel that does is not close to size of NY bagels. But we're not in NY :-) read more

This has happened several times... they start to close at minimum, 1 hour before closing. Drives me nuts! Here it is 2:25, I just left because they were mopping the floors. They close at 3:00. The process started @2:00 with the moving of all chairs, filling ice into soda dispenser, breaking down soda station so all parts weren't there and then mopping. I told the young man I would be leaving soon, that I had to use the bathroom. He said "ok. I won't mop that side of the seating area." Yet when I came out, he was doing that area. I almost fell on my a$$. He claimed he thought I left. BS. I picked up my books, which I had left on the table while I went to the bathroom, and got out of there. Three times this has happened. I'll find a different place. Panera? read more

Clean restaurant with nice ambience. Had a toasted sun-dried tomato bagel with scallion cream cheese. Nice, subtle flavors in the bagel and cheese, but the bagel texture was more dense dough than chewy and tender. The bagel was barely toasted and cold--I think whoever is preparing it needs to understand this type of bagel requires more heat to soften and crisp it. I'd probably request extra toasting if I return. read more

Here's a few things I liked about Manchester Bagel: The location, the cream cheese, the freshness of the bagels. Here's a few things I disliked: The customer service was barely mediocre, the prices were high, the portion sizes were small, and the overall taste of the food was "fine" at best. I was so excited to try this place and loved the layout of it too, but i'm so disappointed after dining in. I ordered an egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich and received 2 thin pieces of bacon, a bland egg, and the hash brown looked and tasted like the great value kind from Walmart. Overall, this place is a local and convenient place for fresh bagels and cream cheese but thats just about it. Unfortunately, I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. read more

Great place to grab some to go breakfast! Went in on a Saturday morning and even though it was really busy, we were greeted promptly and given suggestions. Our order came out pretty quick and tasted really good. The prices are also super affordable. I do wish it was a bit toastier but We will definitely keep coming back! read more

I'm thinking that coming to Manchester Bagel earlier in the morning would be the best time because our subsequent visits were a little less agreeable. We came in the early afternoon, and we ordered the toasted jalapeno bagel with one with the veg cream cheese spread and one with the scallion cream cheese spread; the bagels were not as I remember being, with its slightly crisp exterior with the slightly chewy interior; instead, it was super chewy and kind of had a day-old taste to them; they are still pretty generous with their shmears, which I appreciated. Too bad, as I thought that we could make this our regular bagel spot in the NoVA area... Service is still friendly! Note that there are 2 lines in the store - you place your order with one of the staff members on the left, and then you go over to the right to pay and pickup your order. Plenty of parking in the plaza parking lot. +inconsistent bagels +located next to Amazon Fresh +plenty of parking in shared plaza lot read more

I relocated from NYC to Virginia years ago and started missing my bagels! There also was a place in NJ where my friends would go early in the morn and see the bagels getting made. I tried this place not too long ago and I felt like I was back home! The Everything bagel was good and 2 weeks later, same bagel with egg! My new spot now. The staff were friendly also. How did I bypass this place? I'll be back! read more

Walking into this joint is quite a welcoming experience. It smells nice, it's warm, and it plays a nice selection of music. Their set up is interesting but efficient. You get in one line to place your order and then you get into another line to pay (the cashier will probably already have your order from the other employee). This helps eliminate some of the wait time for the food because while the food is being prepped you're busy paying and it doesn't feel like waiting. I love these magic mind tricks! For the food, I'd say that this is an average breakfast place. They're not doing anything super creative to make them stand out from the crowd and the food they have is good food that I'd get again. I just won't expect much from it other than to hit the spot and fill me up. Overall, a 3.5* experience. What we got: Sausage, egg, and cheese (on challah bagel) - 4* your standard deli sausage, egg, and cheese. Nothing special here. I really liked the challah bagel though and am happy I finally got to try it. 4* for being good and not making me feel like I'm eating grease. Tostini Country Style - 3* I was excited to try this. I was disappointed by the focaccia though. I think it would've been better if the focaccia had been toasted first, and maybe that's something you can ask for. It's a fluffier bread than I expected and as such the bottom was a little soggy by the time I got home (we ordered to go, it might be better as an in-house eat). The bell peppers were a nice topping and the turkey-sausage, egg, and cheese was all pretty standard. read more

Food was good, but was very surprised at the cost. Ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich. Was charged for the sandwich and the bagel separately. Thought it was a fluke and went back to support a local business. Happened again. That is too shady for me to be fooled again. NY style indeed. read more

I absolutely love this place. I love their bagels. I love their toppings. The staff is courteous and fast. I come here as often as I can.

I was looking forward to trying this new bagel shop. I ordered 1 toasted lox bagel with no onions, 1 toasted sausage,egg and cheese bagel and a muffin. Neither bagel came toasted, the lox bagel had onion and the sausage and egg bagel was missing the egg. I don't think my order was particularly complicated and the place was not busy. Next time I want a bagel sandwich, I'll just head next door to Dunkin. read more

Impersonal and shy of rude distasteful service. That leads to the food not being prepared with care or concern.  I ordered a croissant with bacon egg cheese (requested added mustard that was not added) and of course a hash brown to go with. Unsurprisingly. Cold and nasty... just like the service. Actually, when servers do not know how to greet and take order from one customer to another in mind (huge RED flag). Indifferent, then why, and if so.. should customer feel comfortable with eating there? Probably not, what a risk, right! Although the one star goes to Gentleman at the register. Always kind and nice, to everyone.  I guess because he knows "they" do often have the same money ...?$... to pay! Minority business... Smh! It's funny actually when you look at a business that needs business from a conceptual point. Who has time for indifference, in America, we can never make to much $... bottom line. Ok so! Final words: I will never waste my early morning time again at this breakfast place again. I know I can eat drink and be happy at the breakfast place right around the corner as it is just as good. read more

It's been a couple months since we have been there, but something has changed. Prices are up, service was just so so, and the order had several little things wrong. Hopefully it was just an off day. read more

Long Story Short....Not a bad spot and decent food but I've just been unlucky a couple times. I've had a few bad experiences here but I gave them another shot and it unfortunately confirmed my original beliefs. I paid 9 dollars for a bagel sandwich and when I received it the sandwich was cold to the touch and the cheese was solid and not melted. Just seemed like the sandwich was rushed after the staff forgot about me and I had to ask about the status of my bagel sandwich after almost 20 minutes of waiting. I'll be taking my business to a place that actually wants me as a customer. read more

Their bagels are not very good, service was mediocre and I thought the price was high for the area. I would not go again.

Lie it was mom's kitchen, I was created with a warm friendly smile and good morning, giving me a sense of belonging. Not from this area, I knew I was in the right place for taking a moment out of my busy day to get great food for breakfast. Manchester bagel is open all day for breakfast and lunch. They always have fresh brewed coffee and it's all made in front of you. Getting a platter that includes a medium coffee and hashbrowns, I took a chance on saying, "so what do you like?" I knew I was talking to the owner and said get the challah bagel, steak and cheese, all the way with lettuce and tomato and mayo. I tasted a sample and it was light and flavorful. It's a gem of a place, offer a sit down seating to take a moment out of your busy day and enjoy really fine and simple, delicious food right here in the neighborhood. Recommend. read more

Great bagels and wonderful service especially from Mida and Omar.. and the 2 owners as well. A regular stop for me for at least 3 years.

Was famished so we stopped by Manchester Bagel for a quick breakfast. I ordered the philly cheesesteak breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel. This particular bagel was a 50 cent upcharge. Although the bagels are made fresh every morning, I wasnt impressed with the toppings. I'm used to the Asiago bagel at Panera where the top half is covered in a thick cheesy crust. The asiago bagel at Manchester Bagel tasted more like a plain bagel. I read the same thing about their Everything Bagel, that it is lacking on the toppings so the bagel itself isnt particularly flavorful. The philly cheesesteak filling was good although I wish there were peppers too and not just onions. Also wish I had a choice of cheese rather than the American cheese. Fast service and kind staff. Overall not bad, but definitely not the best bagel I have ever had. read more

Pretty mid bagels. The everything bagel gave nothing because the seasonings were not there! The cream cheese was good and the prices are low, but I was disappointed with the quality of the bagel and will likely not return to this establishment. The staff was very friendly and the bagels came out quickly, it was a nice clean, quaint place. I just wish their actual bagels were more flavorful read more

I live between both bagel shops, the corporate one & this small owned one so i decided to give it a shot. Ordered 3 sandwiches and wanted to highlight a few things: 1. They have egg bagels which my boyfriends tends to always look for & all our bagels quality wise we're amazing 2. Their sausage, egg and cheese - the egg was a real egg mix fried - not those weird egg pucks that corporations use that sit in water.. if you know, you know. And they were cranking out fried eggs when we walked in. Will def be back! read more

This place is great for a quick stop for breakfast or lunch. Her staff seem very friendly and very attentive. My breakfast bagel sandwich included a perfectly cooked egg and crunchy bacon. While the store itself may seem simple, it's easy to it tell that this place is popular among locals.Several customers seemed to be regulars. The coffee was surprisingly good and everyone seemed very polite It's also worth mentioning that they have a high variety they go flavors they all seem like they were cooked this morning. Great option For those looking for no-frills and good quality read more

Nice folks, clean, etc. I think I am a bit picky with the bagels-- but the bagels here are not very chewy. Could have bought Thomas Bagels at the store and toasted one at home. I wanted to like this place after just moving to this area of Alexandria but I think I am going to keep driving the extra twenty minutes to Chewish Deli in Old Town for my bagels. read more

Located in the same shopping center as the Amazon store, I tried this place on a Saturday morning. A few people dining in, but not too crowded. Ordered a Sausage, Egg and cheese and a Lox bagel to go. Food was ready in ~5 minutes. The bagels themselves were find. Nothing special, and desperately needed seasoning. There aren't a ton of bagel places in this area, so if you're craving one it's fine, but I probably wouldn't come back here. read more
