I highly recommend this place. Great prices. Amazing customer service. Visibly fresh bagels and produce. Me and my girls go here after every sleepover and wow does it hit the spot! It’s cash only but they have an ATM. My top favorites are the Super Bagel (cream cheese, sprouts, onions, and tomato) Bacon Egg and Cheese and Cucumber Cooler. They have great tasting cream cheese and everything is always perfectly toasted and fluffy. This place will never fail me. I love you Bagels Etc. …you are my hero! #hangoverfood #awesomeness #delicious #familyownedandrun #takeallmymoneybagelsetc

One star docked for being cash-only (even during the pandemic!) but still great bagels in a variety of flavors. Coffees are pretty basic but this is a very on-brand NYC type bageleria.

The best bagel I’ve ever had. Great prices and good coffee too. Note: cash only!

Really great local spot and family owned. The bagel and lox was awesome, they really make their bagels very similar to the way they are in NYC. Definitely recommend, but come with cash, they have an ATM on site but its cash only.

1. Cash only! 2. Open on 5th of July 😁Absolutely amazing! Totally worth coming again. I love it! I was too hungry to take a picture of the whole thing. I ordered a breakfast special, scrambled eggs and bacon plain bagel 🥯 delicious!

Excellent bagels (albeit small). Waiting on an unwieldy line in a stuffy shop can be frustrating, nonetheless, worth it for delicious fresh bagels in this local authentic deli.

Great bagel for a sausage egg and cheese sandwich! It was a little bit smaller than I’d have hoped but the flavors were great! The area outside has a few chairs for seats, but the line gets pretty long after 10am on a Saturday. Be warned - cash only!

If youve been around the D.C. scene for a while, you know that people are obsessed with Call Your Mother bagels in Park View NW. Bagels Etc. is to Dupont Circle as Call Your Mother is to Park View.Like Call Your Mother, you can expect a crowd at Bagels Etc., especially in the morning. However, the staff here move very fast and the wait isnt very long. A group of women run the operation and have it down to a science.The bagels are phenomenal. They are usually warm from the oven, but just in case, ask for it toasted. My order is the chocolate bagel with honey walnut cream cheese for $4. It comes out warm, the cream cheese perfectly melted. The bagel itself has great texture and is quality. They also sell bagel sandwiches, coffee, and other breakfast items.Theres some seating in the front (lower tables) and high bar seating in the way back. They also have restrooms in the back.This is a CASH ONLY cafe, but theres an ATM inside that charges you only $1.50 per transaction.

Cash only!! Delicious and very cheap bagel sandwiches

THE BEST IN DC!!! The ladies are fabulous and it’s a DC gem! Always support them!

I wouldnt recommend this place over other bagel spots in DC. The price is comparable to Bethesda Bagels but the bagels are tiny, maybe half the size of Bethesda. They dont taste bad, but arent as good as Call Your Mother or Bethesda Bagels. And buying dozen bagels is 12, not a bakers dozen. Ok for a quick snack, but overall I was very disappointed.

Not sure why it’s cash only, can’t hear or understand people working, atm didn’t support my Visa card, bagel is mediocre at best, convenient location I guess?

The place is amazing for the food and the price. Service is always warm and friendly. I’m from Philadelphia and I try to hit this place up at least once a visit to DC

Prices have gone up since ive last been here, but begal sandwiches are hot, fresh, and tasty. Great for breakfast since its right down the street!

Stayed in DC during the Christmas holiday. We happened to find this place because they were open on Christmas Day. I was highly impressed. The prices are very reasonable and well worth it. I had the veggie omelet and it was delicious. I was surprised that it came with a bagel but so glad that it did! The bagel was soft and chewy. Mine was not warmed and I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Im not a huge bagel fan, but I returned the same day for another order of omelet and bagels. I live in Maryland and found this delicious enough that I would travel here. The condiment bar was well stocked with anything you need.My mind was blown with how prompt these ladies work! You wont run late by stopping here! Typical in DC, its on street parking but if you find a spot, trust you will not be disappointed for coming by this amazing bagel shop!

Id say its the best breakfast place in Dupont Circle area! Various bagels and other breakfast menus. Also, the classical music they always play really boost up my morning, lol.Be ready with cash to make things easier though.

They only take cash, which in this time (or aftermath) of the pandemic is not acceptable. I dont want to handle cash or peoples change. I wasnt like that before the pandemic. Even Brooklyn bagel in Arlington started taking credit cards during pandemic... And there are a few businesses more set on their ways than that one.I got a sesame bagel (I toasted it) which was kind of squishy or spongy inside and bottom. The top was okay but somehow a little oilier than sesame Bagels usually are. I threw half of it away. Bethesda Bagels and firehook bakery a few blocks away are better and both of them take credit cards.

If you dont expect much, its fine. Its VERY rushed, the feeling is just take it and move over. Coffee was bland, I asked for almond milk and it was sour. She didnt have another one. Told me to take half and half. The bagel was rubbery and there was very little cream cheese. I didnt feel like bothering with going back inside and getting into discussion.Wont be going back

Some of the best bagels in DC! They remind me of bagels from New York or New Jersey. I try to make this a weekend staple. Always fast, always friendly, always delicious.

I just had the TASTIEST egg, bacon, and cheese bagel. I was really craving one and it totally hit the spot!! I wouldve taken a picture, but as soon as I got home, it was gone in seconds. The service was amazing and the bagel was ready very soon after I ordered it! Highly recommend!!!!

Fast, cheap, and tasty!

I think I’m spoiled by my CT bagels and feel sad for all you DC folks. Was Bagels Etc good? It was decent, but not worth the fuss. 1st, if you are COVID shy, don’t even think about going because the line is claustrophobic to begin with. At least people wore masks. 2nd-cash only! Really? Is Square or Clover that much overhead? Yes, there’s an ATM, but those are only less dirty than a gas pump. 3rd-small bagels & overpriced. My BEC on everything was okay. My daughter’s bagel with lox was good. They were very fast filling orders though. No problems with our easy order, but I heard 2 different parties ahead of us with problems.

Best bagels in DC! New York style

Best bagels I’ve eaten so far and I will be a regular! Run by quick and efficient women trio. The only downside is that the payment is in cash.

Staff were nice and greeted the guest very well. Food was fresh and flavorful. Services was great.

The best. and Im from NY.

I only can say that these fresh made bagels are delicious!

Bagel etc is a tiny bagel shop hidden away on P street, where you can get the best bagels in DC (at least as far as my experience goes). Their bacon egg and cheese bagel (pictured) is to die for, and the cream cheese with lox is also really good. Its cash only, but they do have an ATM on site.

The best breakfast or even lunch place in the area by far. From their amazing bagels, to the delicious chicken nuggets, there has never been a time that I left this store unsatisfied. My only problem was they only accept cash, but a place like this deserves every single star you could give to them!

I literally drive across town to come and get the bacon egg and cheese bagel on an everything bagel they cook it so fast and they dont mind that I like my eggs well done I really love this place its moderately priced and very fast

You will brighten up with delicious bagels and smiles of the Korean ladies who bake and sell the bagels!

This is the best bagel place I’ve had so far in DC. I am more a fan of their soft bagels than Bethesda Bagels, and we always get a good half dozen bagels to go in addition to our breakfast bagels order.The line can get long, but it goes super quickly. It is cash only, but there’s an ATM right in the shop.

Simply perfect, tasty bagel place. Please support this awesome local business! Cash-only but they have an ATM.

The bagels were very good. You dont come for the atmosphere. You come for the bagels. Efficient Staff and very friendly. I enjoyed the experience

Great find if youre looking for a real NY style bagel. Heads up, they take cash only.

Breakfast all day. This gem has been my go to for breakfast. And the price is right. I highly recommend anyone who visits DC to check it out.

Saw great reviews and was excited to try, but was disappointed to find a long strand of hair in my sandwich after I had already eaten half of it. Definitely wasnt mine as it was a different color, and I couldnt take it back to the store since I got it to-go at closing time. I know its a small business so I dont want to be too harsh, but I think right now with COVID they should be especially careful and sanitary.

(Obligatory cash only warning) A lovely gem of a bagel shop and deli, perfectly topped bagels and fresh (generously spread) cream cheese. Honestly, couldnt ask for anything better!

I ate the steak egg and cheese bagel. Um i well um. Maybe it was me but my stomach didnt like it. I dont like things that have to much salt but i was hungry. And i ate it so it filled me up. But stomach paid the price. Still it was semi good.

Enjoyed a nice cream cheese and lux sesame bagel.

Yummie Bagels with reasonable price for me...

This place is genuinely a 6/5...literally never had better bagels---really cute place: great service, prices, and straight up the best bagel in the dmv. if i know im not gonna be able to swing by again for the next few days, i usually buy a bunch, stick them in the freezer, and toast them up in the mornings--equally amazing. for non bagel items: the turkey avocado on biali is literally one of my favorite sandwiches of all time.

Great people great food loved this place

MY FAVORITE BAGELS IN THE DMV. Cash only with the cutest ladies making your bagel just the way you want. Its a must visit.

Looks cheap and tiny, but tastes good and portions are big, and portions are around 6$, so its relatively cheap......

Amazing! Bacon egg and cheese in garlic bagel.

Amazing fast home-cooked food and great coffee!

The bagels were undercooked. The cooks were not wearing masks. Customers were not respecting social distancing inside the store. Instead of lining up outside, 6 people all walked inside at once as if there is no pandemic.

Best bagels in DC. Cash only but worth it (plus there’s an ATM so no excuse). My fave is a jalapeño bacon egg and cheese with a hash brown on it.If you’ve been to Call Your Mother but not Bagels Etc., you’re doing yourself a disservice!

Best bagels in DC. Better than call your mother, Bethesda Bagels, etc.

I tried the peanut butter cheese bagel. It’s really tasty and met my expectations

They dont speak english and do an incorrect order. Bagels taste awful. Will Never return.Was overcharged 5 cents and told them to return it. They only repeated the order but Finally returned my nickels. Idiots

Place is always solid. I love the food here. The seating inside is limited and theres a few seats outside, but the place is surrounded by parks to sit and eat at and people watch or enjoy some conversations. Be forewarned, this is a cash only establishment.

Bagels are out of the world good. Not much more needs to be said. Youll see.

Bagels Etc. serves up some of the best bagels in DC. You can count on their bagels to be consistently good and satisfying. They are located in a small ground-level location thats easy to miss, but they are definitely worth a visit if youre in search of a good bagel. There are seating options inside and outside on the tiny patio, but very limited. As soon as you enter, youll be greeted by the scent of hot, fresh bagels. Get in line and be ready to place your order when you reach the counter. They are very fast and efficient, so youll get your bagels and breakfast sandwiches quickly.

Two toasted everything bagels, cream cheese, egg, and bacon. Made perfectly, fast service. Quick check-out on a Saturday morning during the rush. Well prepared for Covid-19 with sanitary set up and signs Happy we found you.

This is a great spot for a delicious bagel & cream cheese breakfast. Maybe one of the best kept bagel secrets in DC! But dont come here for anything fancy.

Good bagels, fast service, fair prices!

Best bagels in DC. No need to say anything else.

Consistently fresh and tasty. Best bagels in DC

This places is not consistent with their prices. I ordered the same thing: bagel with egg and cheese and a medium coffee. I’ve paid different prices ranging from $5 to $7. The cashiers make up their prices and over charge for coffee. Starbucks is cheaper.

This place is a landmark, founded in 1991 and in year 2021, itll 30 years of unfiltered human experience. Yes, they have food, too.

On point. Great service, incredible chewy bagels 🥯. Go for the bacon egg and cheese. You’re welcome in advance.

It was ok

Favorite bagel place in DC and one of the few that has egg and rye bagels.

Cash only? Cmon. How much do they make off those ATM fees. BS.

THE BEST BAGEL PLACE.I was in Washington DC for 4 days and I got at least one bagel from Bagel Etc. a day. Because thats how good they are, and furthermore are the staff the nicest and most talented people. The food comes flour less, taste full and quickly after ordering, and the menu has a wide variety of delicious things.

Great bagel place in DC. Fast service that moves a lot of people with kind but efficient service. The team there works quickly to make some awesome some breakfasts. We were also short 20¢ and without hesitation the cashier said, pay us back next time. if only others were so kind. Thank you bagels, etc!

Perfect bagels, there are only two tables though, so dont expect to sit here

If you are looking for the best hungover-post-Saturday night spot, look no further. This place arguably has the best bagels in DC and runs like a well oiled machine. The bagels are soft a doughy, and their iced coffee is the perfect drink to wash them down with. I love this place. I am leaving to move back to NYC and know that I will find a comparable spot, but somehow it wont be the same ...

I got wholewheat bagel with scrambled egg and veggie cream cheese. The bagel was soft, warm and really tasty. I also loved the hot coffee. It is amazing. The staff were also very nice and friendly! The best place to go in my opinion if you are looking for affordable tasty breakfast food.

I eat here almost every morning and sometimes in the afternoons/evenings best bagel shop in the DMV.

Cash only and when I first started going here, i was charged almost $13 for a sausage, egg, and cheese. After a couple visits for some reason the price went down to $5 and some change. They dont give you a receipt so be careful that you are not being over charged.

This is all you need in a deli. A large variety of breads, bagels, and toppings. Friendly and efficient staff. A grab and go kind of place with a few tables outside. Usually I just walk to a nearby bench or park (Dupont Circle, Rose park, etc.) and enjoy my bagel. Cash only, with an ATM at the front of the store now. A while back, I forgot cash but the owner let me pay her back on my next visit. Kudos to the honor system and back-to-the-basics neighborhood deli. Love this place with all my heart. P.S. Order a hot coffee along with your sandwich/bagel, and it is discounted (does not include iced coffee). They also have alfalfa sprouts. Try it on your next bagel - you wont be disappointed!

Best bagels Ive found in DC! The drink selection isnt very great but the bagels are always fresh and always delicious. I would go here every morning if it wasnt too many calories. The service is great too

Best bagels in DC! Super quick and clean

Grabbed some egg and cheese bagels to go. Fresh and delicious. The place was busy and the line was long but with the super speed of the ladies working behind the counter I was in and out quickly.

Some of the things I like: bagels, buying things without feeling like Im being overcharged.Some things that Bagels Etc. has going for it: delicious New York style bagels and all the fixings, these things but at an unbelievable price point for DC.(And you dont have to wait in a line, wrapped outside of the building to get it unlike some other [very good] bageleries.)

Best veggie omelet ever

I’ve been a regular here for years, and I’ve tried a significant selection of the menu. The bagels are great and the rest of the food is pretty decent. Good selection of coffee too. You can’t beat their prices and the staff are efficient and friendly.

Fast service and tasty bagels.

By far one of the best bagels Ive ever had. Its like my morning version of Cheers--they know me by face and already know my order before I even open my mouth. The service is friendly and efficient-but know it is CASH ONLY, so dont be surprised or offended when they refuse your card.

Neighborhood institution! Best bagels in town by far. Real eggs, cooked to order. Good coffee selection. Fresh fruit. Vegetarian friendly. Omnivore friendly. The line moves very fast, and the high demand is a tribute to how good the food is at this neighborhood gem of a hole-in-the-wall.Cash only. ATM inside.

Best bagel I’ve had outside of NY/NJ. Bagels are a little smaller than what I’d call standard from NY but equal to the best in quality. Coffee is OK. I’d go somewhere else if that was most important. NOTE! Cash only! ATM inside $1.50 ATM fee.

Tiny hole in the wall type place with terrific soft fresh bagels, not tough, or chewy. The bagels arent huge. I enjoyed a toasted everything.

I love this place! Their bagel sandwiches are cheap and delicious and you can get really inexpensive next day bagels. The staff is super helpful too.

My wife and I were in DC for 3 days and had bagels from Bagels Etc for breakfast all 3 days. They were very busy but quick. Selection was very good and the bagels were excellent.

Great little spot. Long line in Sunday morning, but they worked quickly. Delicious bagels!

Delicious bagels and coffee, really recommend their chocolate flavoured coffee! Awesome prices too, cash only!

A great place to go for NYC-style bagels. This neighborhood institution is loved by Dupont Circle residents as well as visitors that stay in nearby hotels. Dont let the long lines on weekend mornings fool you...the line goes very quickly. Cash only; theres an ATM just inside the front door.

Bagels are exceptional. Cash only, there is an ATM on site. The ladies are very fast and move through orders quick.

Amazing bagels served in a self-effacing hallway with limited seating in the small closets at either end of the hall. Cash only. Very fast.

Excellent bagels and bagel sandwiches. Eggs seem like they were actually scrambled and not just microwaved like other places. Will definitely be back, perhaps later today.

Hole in the wall kind of place with delicious lox bagel sandwich

Cash-only but this place has the best bagels in the Dupont area. Its a small hole in the wall so it can get tight when its busy but the service is fast, food is great and staff is so nice!They also have day old bagels at a great price that hold up well when frozen at home.

Second best bagels in the city. Theirs are everything youd really look for. But Bethesda Bagels tops them ever so slightly. If on a weekend morning the Bethesda Bagel line is out the door, head to Bagels Etc around the corner! You wont be disappointed!

Nice little place. Was quite surprised that the lox spread had pistachios. Its cash only.

Awesome bagels--light but chewy. Not too dense so I dont feel like I need a nap after breakfast. Service is very quick, the food is delish, and the price is good. Not sure what else you could ask for.Cash-only but there is an ATM machine inside.

Good bagels but not exceptional. I like a bagel to be large with a slight crustiness on the outside and a soft chewy inside. Theirs were soft and chewy, but not large and definitely not crusty. Also, they had run out of plain and cheese bagels and werent going to have more for another 20 minutes. This was a Thursday morning at 9 am.

Amazing bagels. The people there are so efficient and my family received our bagels in a matter of short minutes. Perfect for a fast yet delicious breakfast.
