    Bagels are AMAZING. But I didn't love the lox sandwich. Way too much cream cheese and the ratio of toppings was a tad bit off. The lightly toasted texture was perfect but it made the cream cheese warm and soft and I personally love it cold. The service was also a tad bit slow but workers were super kind and helpful with recommendations. Prices are also unbeatable. My go to bagel place.

    Onion bagel with vegi cream cheese.
    Jeff B.

    Looking for a new bagel place (new to me, at least - Neals has been around since the 1990's). Popped in this morning for an onion bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese and tomato. ($4.25 plus $0.75 for the tomato). I already had my morning coffee, so I bought a bottle of water. It's about 10:00 am on a Thursday. Place is pretty busy, with most of the orders being for carry out. Place is bright and comfortable. Pretty inviting, although the counter worker wasn't very warm or friendly. Anyway, the bagel is large and toasted ok. I would say it's a bit doughy - maybe a little bit longer in the toaster would improve on that. The vegi cream cheese has bits of vegi in it, and is smooth texture (no vegi chunks). I liked the cream cheese. In the restaurant, there's a sign saying that toppings are free (there are prices by some toppings, but no price next to tomato, onion, cucumber, etc). I was charged $0.75 for tomato and then realized that the sign must be referring to toppings on deli sandwiches, not bagels. If you order online, it's clear there's a $0.75 charge for tomato on the bagel. There were three slices of tomato on my bagel so I'm not complaining about the portion. But the sign for in-person ordering is misleading. I wasn't expecting to be charged. (Some bagel places charge for onion/tomato and some don't.) The bagel/cream cheese combo here is good. I wouldn't say it's superior to other bagel places in the area, but a good choice if you're in the neighborhood. Next time I'll try the coffee.

    Place is a 3.5 star location but did not want to give it a 3 star. Very neighborhood oriented. Staff was friendly and place was very clean. I got the rainbow bagel, looks cool, taste the same. My wife got the Lox bagel and really enjoyed it. Plenty of space to site down both inside and outside. Only worth it if you are in the area.

    Locks & cream cheese in everything bagel
    Yvonne B.

    First time visiting this establishment. They have a wide variety of bagels, spreads, and deserts along with coffee, soda machines, and drinks . I had lock & cream cheese on everything bagle. It hit the spot I've been craving for a while. In my opinion, for a one-off purchase, I think my sandwich and coffee were reasonable priced. I love the decor bagel wallpaper, seating inside seats, roughly 14 people. Additional outdoor seating for about 8 people (2 per seats). Overall this bagel shop is very clean and well maintained. However, the staff is not so friendly. Overall, it's an OK breakfast spot considering you're in the Kentlands.

    This is a tricky one in more than one way. I'll explain. For service, the lady at the counter wasn't super friendly until she saw me taking a photo. Therefore, I can't say for sure of her friendliness was genuine. For food, I got three bagels (two for me and one for my mother who lives in a home nearby). One of my bagels was toasted (poppy) and was quite tasty. The other bagel (plain) wasn't toasted and the first bite was blah. I even said, "Blah" out loud while eating it at the counter, then covered my mouth in disbelief of my blurtation (if it's not a word, it is now). The strange thing was that every bite I ate of that plain bagel got better. We went from a 6 to an 8.5. The toasted poppy was an 8.9 the whole way. Price for three bagels (and one free plastic knife): $9.17. Recommended but with tepid enthusiasm.

    New store front

    1st time at their new location. Was it my imagination that I could smell their delicious onion bagels 2 stores away? I came by this time to pick up bagels for a trip to Austin to visit my daughter (Texas bagels AREN'T bagels). Her special request. The new place is so new! Love that they now have seating, both inside and outside. Although, I've always brought bagels to eat at home. They are changing over to a new rewards program, so use up those rewards from the old system! Haven't tried the bagels yet....stay tuned tomorrow!

    Food is good. But takes way too long to get a bagel and cream cheese. It took a legit 10 minutes.

My go-to is the sausage and scrambled egg on a multigrain bagel; it never disappoints. You can actually watch them making fresh bagels, and it shows. The texture is spot on, perfectly chewy on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. Everything tastes fresh, and service is quick, even during busy times. The staff is always friendly, which makes the experience even better. Their cream cheese is excellent, too rich, flavorful, and a noticeable step up from the typical grocery store options. They also carry cookies and other treats from local vendors, which are definitely worth trying if you have a sweet tooth. If you're craving a solid bagel sandwich, this is the place to go. Bonus: free parking makes it an easy stop.

I couldnt decide which bagel and spread combo to try, but ended up going with the cinnamon raisin and chive spread. At home I usually do that, but with chive and onion, so figured it was worth a try. The bagel was delicious. Lightly toasted, soft, and tasted fresh! The chive spread was a bit too much for me. I think Id stick with plain in the future. The chive was a bit overwhelming, but I am sure those who love chive, would enjoy it. They have several options, including sandwiches and other pastries. Service was pleasant and efficient. There isn't any seating there, but they have a pretty good set up for efficient ordering and pick up. I will definitely be coming back!

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.
