Café con Bagel

In the morning around 8 am there was plenty of free parking for me on the side streets which helps me decide on a place when driving from Maryland. A friendly place with constant regulars, door dash orders and every customer getting a awesome welcome. I chose the Bolivian Drip and the flavor was amazing. There's a nice downstairs area seating for your private talks. The breakfast chorizo sounded interesting , I think the empanadas are more popular. It's like I arrived at a friendly neighborhood place and they welcomed me like a neighbor. Short walk from M Street. I'm going to be back.

Cute place with a few seats upstairs and plenty of seating downstairs. They're next to a kitten cafe and there's a window between the two so you can see all the cats.I ordered the Federal Chorizo and it was good! The sandwich comes out hot and slightly crispy on the outside. The flavors are nice, exactly what you expect it to taste like. It was just heavier than I was expecting, the meat was thick-cut and made the whole sandwich greasy. This sandwich is messy and the oil covered the bottom half of the bagel. I can see this being really good as a hangover meal or if you're starving, but it was a bit much for me at the time.

After a long run, my friend and I stopped by Café con Bagel this morning to treat ourselves to a bagel sandwich. By 10:30 AM, it was pretty busy, but we waited about 15 minutes before our bagel arrived.THE GRID-LOX - 13This lox bagel comes with cream cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, smoked salmon, and onions. Unfortunately, we found it pretty underwhelming. The plain bagel was served at room temperature, like it hadn't been toasted or heated at all. There were some pieces of smoked salmon, but they didn't cover the entire bagel, so my last few bites were mainly bagel and cream cheese. We asked for light cream cheese, but the layer was still too thick. The lettuce felt like an odd addition, and didn't really add much to the sandwich. The only thing I liked was the tomatoes, which made the sandwich less dry.My friend ordered an iced vanilla coffee, but they accidentally gave her an iced vanilla tea instead. She still enjoyed the drink, though. The interior is pretty small with limited seating, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. Personally, I think there are better bagel places in the area, so I probably won't come back to this one.

Cute little café and bagel shop located in the heart of Georgetown. I stumbled upon this shop while walking to the Waterfront and was drawn in by the lovely, minimalistic storefront flooded by natural light from their giant window, as well as the charming little outdoor seating area in the back. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service is pretty efficient; there's usually a bit of a line, so it might take a bit to get through the line, but the food comes out quickly once you place your order. I decided to get their Capitol Omelette sandwich, a classic breakfast sandwich with eggs, onions, mushrooms, mayo, and American cheese. The sandwich was solid, especially when eaten while hot, and the combination of the gooey melted cheese and mayo made it incredibly rich. It was, sadly, a smidge too rich for my taste -- it felt a bit greasy with all the mayo and cheese, as well as a bit too salty, so I ended up feeling a bit ill after eating it (but, again, that's really just a matter of my taste). The bagel itself was solid; it was quite chewy and a nice outer shell, but it was a bit more dense / heavy than I would have preferred.

I've walked past this place a bunch but never stopped in. I finally tried for the first time (ordered through DoorDash) and it was amazing. Chorizo bagel was flavorfuland it was well packaged/still warm.

I found the bagel to be average--slightly better than grocery store bagels, but not worth the high price in my opinion. I ordered "The Gridlox" on Everything, which features smoked salmon and cream cheese. Unfortunately, the everything bagel lacked the bite and sharp taste typical of a New York bagel. It was a bit dense and dry. Additionally, there was an excessive amount of whipped cream cheese that overpowered the smoked salmon, red onion, and everything seasoning. The inside basement seating is casual but not as nice as the other cafes and outdoor seating options around Georgetown. With that said, the bagel was prepared quickly, so the wait wasn't long.

An unassuming bagel shop tucked into a corner of Georgetown. Interestingly they sell both bagels and empanadas! My friend and I tried the bagel with lox, which is always a classic and the Georgetown breakfast bagel. The bagel itself felt fresh, well toasted, and had the chewy bagel texture. The ingredients were well packed and there was just enough cream cheese. Interior and outdoor seating. There's even a downstairs with more seating!

The inside of this small shop in georgetown was buzzing with energy and while the empanada order took a little too long, the food was great and I enjoyed the coffee as well.

Best bagel place in DC! My friend and I came across this place shortly after it opened and it's now our go-to bagel place. The staff is SO friendly and the bagel sandwiches are amazing. I usually get the Georgetown or the Federal Chorizo breakfast sandwich. They also have baked empanadas that are reasonably priced and delicious! Unfortunately, it's a small space so if it's busy it's difficult to find seating.

Located in a very lively area of Georgetown. There is some seating in the basement with about 4 indoor tables and 4 outdoor tables. We were lucky enough to snag an outdoor table which was very clean and shaded.I ordered a create your own breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with egg, Turkey, and avocado. It was brought out very fast-probably less than 5 minutes. The only criticism I would give is that the egg patty was pretty dry. If I knew it were an egg patty and not a fresh egg, I probably would've made a different selection.The iced hibiscus tea was very flavorful and on an unseasonably warm November day it really hit the spot.
