Royal Bagel Bakery

"Our go-to bagel place in the area. Perfect balance of fluff and chew, with a good variety to choose from. Also have spreads (though a bit pricey). Donuts, pastries, and cookies all -look- delicious although we haven't tried them yet."

"We went to the Royal Bagel Bakery for a Sunday brunch. What a delightful surprise! The bagels were fresh & tasty, and our pastry was enormous & filling. The place was bopping, but the service was still excellent & friendly. 100% satisfied; highly recommend."

"Anyone that knows bagels in the DMV knows that there are a few hidden gems tucked away here and there around the area. Unfortunately, the Royal Bagel Bakery isn't one of those hidden gems. The best test of a bagel shop is to order their lox and whitefish bagels, so I got one of each. at $13.50 per order, it was significantly more expensive than a similar bagel at Bethesda Bagels or Brooklyn Bagels (two strong contenders for best bagels in the region). When I got home to eat them, I noticed that the bagel with the nova lox bagel was a bit stale, and most likely had not been baked that morning. I also noticed that I had to add my own capers, because they weren't anywhere to be found. the quality of the bagels were just okay, but not to the caliber of any bagel place in the region. I had such high hopes, but this spot ended up being a disappointment. I almost deducted a star for the long wait time, but two stars seems appropriate."

"I had the Nova platter (lox and cream cheese bagel) and it did not disappoint. They make all kinds of baked goods and everything looks yummy."
