Buffalo & Bergen

The only place I get bagels in DC. The service here is phenomenal, even amidst the more casual vibe and atmosphere, and the bagel combo's are like nothing you've ever had, for a reasonable price ($13-$16). My go-to order here is a cinnamon raisin bagel with avocado, eggs, cheese, bacon, and they have some special honey sauce that is drizzled on top that is literally the icing on top. They also have a well-equipped bar if you need a beverage to accompany the cozy food. Prepare to enter a food coma after eating here!

Great bagels, but my only complaint is their order pickup system. They don’t announce your order number or even display it anywhere. Instead, they text you when the order is ready, but half the time they just seem to forget - requiring patrons to bug the staff at the counter. A simple order number display can fix all of this.

Always tasty…the breakfast ones are my favorite… great option for takeout from union market but they also have twirly barstools - like diner style… and seating can sometimes be hard to find inside, so it’s nice to have options! Definitely a go to spot - especially if you’re in the mood for breakfast bagel sandwiches!

Very tasty, but have to take off a star because the fried egg on our breakfast bandito was very undercooked (tough to tell in the picture but there was some raw egg white on there) and that’s really unacceptable given the salmonella risk. Other than that the breakfast bandito would have been 5 stars because the pork was perfectly cooked, and the peppers, cheese and bagel were all very tasty. We also went back and ordered the curry chicken salad and the sausage, egg & cheese. The chicken salad was tasty but not quite as meaty as I hoped. The sausage, egg and cheese was simple but very good and a better bargain. Fortunately the scrambled eggs were cooked fully.
