I am eating an everything bagel with caramelized onion and cracked black pepper cream cheese and I may actually pass out from how good it is. PLUS it's huge, and I got it and a medium coffee for five bucks. Eat your heart out, New York, there's a new best bagel on the scene.
EDIT: things have really gone downhill since I first wrote the above. Not have my last few everything bagels looked like plain bagels (where is the everything that's supposed to encrust the exterior???), but I've been given the wrong bagel several times now. Today I paid for an everything bagel and was given something that looked like a flatbread and tasted like focaccia and shoe leather had a baby. I get that you're busy, but if the bagels are consistently under-toasted, under-seasoned, and often wrong, why should I keep coming back?

Long story short, we will try to avoid this place for lack of Customer service and...
Read moreI will never order from this place again. We ordered a delivery from Bethesda Bagels, using Door Dash. We ordered 5 bagel sandwiches, 3 donuts, and drinks. The order arrived missing 1 sandwich, 1 donut, and with the wrong drinks. When we called Bethesda Bagel to report the missing items and request a credit, they told us they had no responsibility for an incomplete order or later order (it was almost 2 hours late), and any problems were because of Door Dash. Excuse me? You are the restaurant and your staff prepare the food. All Door Dash does is pick up the order. Bethesda Bagels says they have no responsibility and refused to either give us a credit for the missing items or to complete the order. This is an unacceptable response when an order was not correctly fulfilled. We will be taking our...
