Bullfrog Bagels — Restaurant in Washington

🥯 Good boiled bagels (not the best, but I’m a New Yorker and they pass muster) for $2.5-5.5 + bagel sandwiches $6-12. GREAT location inside Western Market (❄️strong AC, plenty of seating options, ✅♿️ wheelchair accessible but bad bathrooms, great for groups). Scallion & chive cream cheese is DELISH 🫠

PRO TIP: Skip the sandwiches cuz they distract from the quality bagels & spreads. But if you must get a sandwich, the Corned beef & egg bagel sandwich ($9) is good and filling, HOWEVER you should order it with double cheese 🧀. And trust, it’ll need the 🌶️ hot sauce (don’t worry, they’ve got Cholula bottles + to-go hot sauce packets). They should really serve it with onion 🧅though cuz it’s lacking that extra somethin.

Prices are reasonable.

There are a few seats along a counter inside the tiny bagel shop, if you want to dine-in.

If you find yourself in Western Market and Bullfrog Bagels is open, grab one of their bagels or...

Bullfrog Bagels offers a mixed experience that unfortunately leans towards the disappointing. While the menu boasts a decent variety of options, the core product – the bagel itself – falls short. I found it to be rather dry and dense, lacking the fluffy interior and slightly chewy crust that makes a truly great bagel. Toasting is practically a necessity to salvage the texture. Adding to the less-than-stellar impression was the service, which I found to be subpar. It's a shame, as a good bagel shop can be a real gem, but Bullfrog Bagels still has some significant...
