History of Present Indulgence: Wife and I came for breakfast…read moreafter dropping our dog off at Germantown Veterinary Clinic. This was our first visit. Physical Exam: Food - I ordered the special four cheese bacon bagel that they had on special with tomato and scallion cream cheese. My wife got a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was all impressively reminiscent of a NY bagel. Great density, chew, and crust. The cream cheese was administered generously. Ambiance - The establishment presents as a classic New York bodega with a deli counter layout -- compact, no-frills, and entirely appropriate for its intended function. Great place if you want something with quick service and great food. Service - Quick, functional, and to the point. No complications noted. Assessment: A neighborhood gem and so thankful we stumbled upon it. Royal Bagel Bakery delivers an authentically New York bagel experience in an otherwise unlikely corner of Germantown, Maryland. One downside is they got very plain coffee, but it's the type of place where I'm looking at the coffee purely as fuel, and nothing more. Plan It's so far away but I definitely will try to go again next time I'm nearby. Specialty bagel was a phenomenal choice. Gotta try their cakes next time, which looked crazy good.

Can't say enough about this bagel and bakery. The generously portioned sandwiches are delicious,…read morethe variety is impressive, the staff speedily handles the rush. My nova bagel with all the trimmings was nearly flawless There's very limited and basic indoor seating and some outdoor tables if the weather is nice. But the focus is on the baked goods. My little joy was bringing my grandson up close to the large glass case so he could look at the delectable offerings. Maybe the start of a tradition?

Although the cafe is open until 8-9pm at night, also be aware that many items sell out earlier in the day and are not restocked. (We ended up going at 5pm on a Saturday and snagged the last baguette.). Super clean and comfortable, the breads and desserts here are amazing! Had a curry donut and a honey cheese pancake - both were to die for! The baguette was fresh and excellent as well - they never last long in our house!

Located in the food court of International Mart, this Tous Les is somewhat tiny but has enough room for seating. Grab a tray and tongs and make your way down the aisle grabbing backed goods that catch your eye. I ended up with three - crookie (so good, but definitely sweet), chocolate cream donut (verdict still out - yet to be eaten) , and a sweet frank roll (my son loved it!). To drink I got the ube latte. Not super sweet, but I should have gotten a double espresso shot - next time. Solid spot for pastries and a latte. I'll be back.

Over the years, we've done apple, strawberry, and blueberry picking here, but the fall pumpkin festival is the best. There are tons of activities for the little ones - hayrides, a corn maze, farm animals, and more. Tubby's BBQ is on-site if you need lunch. The line can be long, but it moves quickly. It is on the pricier side, but well worth it. The farm is beautiful, the experience is fun, and it's a wonderful way to get the kids outdoors.

There were so many tempting options to choose from, but we decided on the focaccia and the pistachio cream puff. The focaccia was fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, not greasy or overly seasoned. The pistachio cream puff was a pleasant surprise. The filling had a rich, authentic nutty flavor and a natural brown-green color, rather than the artificial taste and bright coloring often found in pistachio desserts. The choux pastry itself was light, airy, and moist, which I really enjoyed. The coffee was also quite good and paired nicely with the pastries. I visited on a weekday afternoon and had no trouble finding street parking or a table to enjoy my food. I'll definitely be back to try more items from their bakery case!
