Can we get Goldberg's to open in the District, maybe? We like to stop by the Silver Spring store when starting out on road trips that require 495 access, but otherwise we're out of luck.


Its not normal strawberry nasty tasting fake cream cheese. It has pieces of strawberries mixed in and its not that nasty pink color. They take the strawberries and mix it into regular cream cheese. If you hate strawberry in general thats one thing...but dont knock it til you try it


No matter its quality, it is goyishe.

I live very near the Silver Spring store. FWIW, they sell frozen bagels as well, for a pretty low price. That might tide you over (even though frozen is obviously not the same as fresh).

Sorry pp you are wrong. The Goldbergs in Cabin John is a Baltmore based company. If you google it there is a story where the Baltimore Goldbergs tried to bar the owner of the Rockville/ Georgia ave one from using the name when expanding stores even though he was here first.

How do I know? Because I got all excited for the one in Cabin John and then realized when looking at the menu it was not the other Goldbergs.


So long story short....Goldbergs in Rockville and off Georgia Ave are the BEST bagels. Seriously amazing. And the strawberry cream cheese.


Sorry, but in in my circle liking strawberry cream cheese disqualifies you from having an valid opinion about quality bagels.



And in that single sentence I included about 3 things I hate about DCUM, so I really am sorry.


I agree with you about the strawberry cream cheese, but aside from that, PP is right about the two Goldbergs.

The one on Georgia just inside the Beltway does have good, NY-type bagels.

Love Goldbergs. Our kids love the oat bagels made with finely ground 100% oat flour.

I like Bethesda Bagels, and their whitefish salad is actually pretty good. I loved the whitefish salad at Krupins and was pretty devastated when they closed. Thought it was the best I had ever had, and I'm from NYC. But now I gotta try the place on River Road . . .

I live in Fairfax (Chantilly/Centreville/Fair Lakes area) - as far as I know, there is no good bagel shop by us. Anyone have a suggestion for me??

Try Chesapeake Bagels in McLean. NYC transplant, and they are not bad!

Goldberg's in Rockville, but since that's kind of out of the way for us, we stick to Pumpernickel's.

Yes-they call a bagel with lox, cream cheese, tomato and onion a Miami burger! Too funny.

You are not a true bagel connoisseur. Einstein's bagels suck. Grocery store bagels only good if they come from one of the above mentioned stores.
