Taylor Jones: An everything bagel with cream cheese... Heaven.
Tyler Nelson: Get the yummy everything bagel
Nathaniel Emodi: Try the salmon lox breakfast bagel with added arugula, something introduced to me by the barista Michael. Also, ask for hummus on the regular breakfast bagel -- sounds weird but crazy delicious!

Sarah R: Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a plain bagel is amazing!
Behrad Eats: They don't mess around here, order a bacon, egg, & cheese plus avocado on an everything bagel and feast on this massive bagel!
Eater: Breakfast sandwiches are the main draw. Try a turkey bacon, egg, swiss, and avocado on wheat bagel. The pickles are good too.

RalI D.: Salmon Bagel! Just something about that cracked black pepper that made a classic more amazing for me!
Kori: Why get a salmon bagel sandwich, when you can get a salmon BLT!
Mallie T: Loved the interesting space combining a wood-paneled bar and deli counter. Bagel with cream cheese and lox was perfect. Will be going here when I miss my hometown, NYC.
Michael Moffett: Get the bacon, tomato, red onion and cream cheese on multigrain bagel. It was life changing.
Emily Schwartz: The smoked BLT w/ avocado on everything bagel is spectacular. The smoked salmon salad (in the display window) is also super flavorful. Can't go wrong w/ lox, cream cheese, capers, & red onion.
Johanna: Lox bagel + avocado is money. Oh, and get a side of bacon. Their bacon is what bacon should be.

Joey Marburger: Bagel and Lox at Neopol on an everything bagel will change your perspective on life.
Brynna McCosker: NY water bagel egg/cheese/bacon on a salt at Buffalo & Bergen - the bomb!
Jonathan L: It's far from central DC, but has ample free parking. There isn't a ton of seating if you visit one of the smaller stalls versus one of the bigger "restaurants". Great place to hang out and chill.
