Manhattan Bagel - Clifton

Honestly, Manhattan Bagel in NoVa has the best bagels around. I have tried other places, but nothing compares to the chewiness of their bagels. Unlike other places that are too bread-y, Manhattan Bagel gets it right. While it may not be as good as what you would find in NYC or on Long Island, it is definitely the best option in this area and worth a try. Additionally, I have noticed that the restaurant is always busy on weekend mornings, all year round. It seems like there are many others who agree with my opinion!

After the Greenbrier location closed, we began frequenting the Clifton bagel shop. Despite multiple visits, we consistently encounter issues with our orders. The staff never write anything down, even when requested. Consequently, mistakes are made in our orders. The presence of several high school employees simultaneously working creates a lack of quality control. It is frustrating needing to unpack our bags to verify our orders before departing.

My family and I have been frequenting this establishment for quite some time now. Initially, I was unsure about the negative comments regarding the customer service, but unfortunately, I encountered it firsthand today. There seems to be a new employee working there, as I did not recognize her. I requested a baker's dozen with a selection of different flavors. I specifically asked for the onion flavor to be packaged separately from the cinnamon, and then the plain ones to be separated as well. However, the lady serving me seemed to be bothered by my request. I attempted to explain my reasoning, but she was unresponsive.

We've been coming here for years. My son loves their bagels, especially the Super Cinnamon Raisin. I can also call my order in for pickup, saves time standing in line.

Great New York style bagels with great staff! I brought one of my kids this morning. They were busy, but took time to take her order (and were so sweet) and gave her a treat at check out. Not only are their bagels awesome, but they care!
