Reviews for Ashburn Bagel & Sandwich Shop in Ashburn, VA

I?ve been coming here for nearly a decade. The previous owners ran this place with lots of care and attention to the food... quality. Bagels were the best you could get in VA. Now, the bagels are always a day old and hard, lack flavor, and the overallquality of the food is 3/10. We come every so often hoping they have read the reviews and get back on track, but, sadly it justis what it is now. If there were another bagel shop in Ashburn they would suffer greatly as this is the only bagel shop andthat?s why people still go. Read more

Highway Robbery at its finest! $ 9 dollars for bacon crumbs, egg and cheese on a croissant!!! I?ve lived in Ashburn all my life... and I?ve seen this place open up and change management over the years. The prices are now ridiculous for what you get. I?vealways ordered the same croissant.. NO more. Just because this is Ashburn we should not be victimized. For 9 dollars I shouldsee at-least two REAL bacon strips, Not a bunch of fatty crumbs of the cheapest bacon. Ashburn bagel, DO BETTER! Booooo Read more

Almost always crowded, and there is not always a way to ?skip the line? to pick up mobile or pre-orders. The bagels don?t seem... to justify the crowd either, but their only saving grace is they?re the only bagel place in Ashburn I guess so it is what it isif you want a bagel without driving out of the area. The sandwich options are great, but I have yet to have a fresh bagel here. Read more

I feel the current owner is actively trying to run this place into the ground in the hopes someone will offer to buy it from... him. I've been going to this place off and on for over 10 year and the difference between what the previous owners did and thecurrent owner is like night and day. The Bagels - Used the made fresh every day and tasted wonderful. Now they are largelyflavorless and usually day old hard ones if you get there first thing in the morning. If you arrive later in the morning, therock hard ones are gone, but then you take a chance on not getting the flavor you want at all. And when I mean flavorless, whenI buy an everything bagel and all I can taste is salt and see just salt and the occassional seaseme seed or poppy seed or when Ibuy a jalapeno bagel with almost no jalapenos, then that's an issue. The breakfast sandwich fillings were of higher qualityunder the old owner. The current one just gets cheaper and cheaper. Having said that, if you get a good sandwich, they'regenerally pretty tasty! Hence the two stars. The coffee - I'm not sure what brand they actually use, but it the quality isawful. The brand the old owners used was good solid coffee. Not great, but good. Customer service - The old owners werefairly friendly, not over the top or anything but pleasant to talk with when they weren't too busy. The current owner I canbest described as indifferent. The rest of the staff are nice, but seem to always be watching out to see if the current owneris watching them. The prices - I realize prices go up and that some things have been a challenge to get, but unless their renthas jumped up 300%, I don't understand why their prices keep going up and the quality keeps going down. But this all puttogether has left me wondering if the current owner is just tired of running a store he had no real interest in, in the firstplace and is hoping some poor soul will buy it from him. This place used to be a real pleasure to go to, now it Read more

Sandwich fillings are great but it?s a shame the bagels are terrible. The actual bagel is hard and very dense (even after... toasting) so when you bite into it everything pulls apart. The jalapeño bagel had no flavor other than metallic (?)?I sawpeppers but couldn?t taste them. I thought maybe it was just me because of the size of the crowd on the weekends but beingflavorless is consistent with a lot of the other poor reviews. Who the hell made the recipe? If you want a good quality bagelsandwich just go to Blend Coffee Bar?they unfortunately won?t have the large variety of sandwiches but if you actually use yourtaste buds then go here in stead.

I purchased a dozen bagels to bring in to the office and was looking forward to a bagel breakfast. However we all quickly agreed... that the bagels were hard, dry, and flavorless. Mind you I picked these up at 6:30am so they should have been as fresh as theycome. Sadly I won?t be coming back. Read more

In my opinion, I would not consider these "New York bagels". I was hoping for (expecting?) a nice, hearty, chewy bagel, but... instead got something that was hard and crispy on the outside. Was there at 7am, so expected them to be fresh. Not sure if theywere just baked too long, or stale, or something else about how they are made or stored. But the end result was a bagel thatwas not to my taste. Hope your experience is better. Read more

Horrible experience. I called them to place an order and I was told "can you come in and order. It's too confusing". What is so... confusing about 3 bagels and 3 eggs? I almost didn't want to go after that but went there anyway because the reviews were good.I go there and order scrambled eggs. They gave me an omelette so I went back and told them it's not scrambled the guy keptsaying it is scrambled and then he laughed at me. Am I missing something? Either way, I will never go here and I don't recommendthis place to anyone. Read more
