Solid Bagels
Don't expect NY bagels anywhere outside of New York the secret is the water.

But Einstein makes up for it with quality bagels and good sandwiches.
For bagels; I recommend the Asiago Cheese (*be careful when toasting it at home- the cheese has a tendency to burn! Set it on LOW), the chocolate chip, and the potato bagel (in addition to bagel store classics like sesame, poppy, salt, everything, etc.)
Their sandwiches are equally good.

Try to avoid the crowds- they only have two registers. However if someone has a complex order ahead of you, it is perfectly acceptible to cut in front of them. It seems there are two lines- one to get your order placed, and another to pay for your order    [05 Aug 2003 14:28:46]

Lousy Bagels
This store is basicly a Starbucks wanna be. If you think their bagels are good you are obviously not from New York. The bagels are covered with corn meal... Nasty! Otherwise, they are a fair coffee shop. I haven't found a good bagel shop in the Gaithersburg area since Capital Bagel closed. *sniff*    [18 Jan 2004 10:44:19]

Great Place
I love this place they are freindly and helpful. Great coffee and bagels but I cant wait for their new frozen drinks to start next week. This is the Montgomery Village location.    [09 Aug 2006 14:38:35]
