When youβre looking for the best bagels in DC donβt look any further than this local shop in Fairfax. They have the best bagels, a variety of cheese and so many options for breakfast, brunch and lunch. The service is distinctive in its welcoming nature, prompt order prepping and exquisite recommendations. Will definitely come back whenever am visiting DC πThank you so much I sincerely enjoyed my brunch today.
So so sad they are temporarily closed due to staffing limitations. I went to Chutzpah Deli to get my bagels. Chutzpah Deli bagels are good π Main St bagels are the best.
One of my favorites in the area! I try to come once or twice a week, I love it.
I used to make it a point to get here once a month, every chance I could. Back in 2011-2015. Now Im back again and just am astonished at how delicious their breakfast bagel sandwiches are. And wonderful kind warm service. Wonderful place. Amazing breakfast. Great sandwiches. Awesome hot chocolates.
This is an incredible spot for bagel sandwiches. I got a classic bacon egg and cheese and was blown away. I went on a Saturday morning and even though the line was huge, the service was really quick. Great coffee too! Highly recommend checking this family business out.
Great family owned and run deli. I have always received the best service here. Great bagels and coffee is good.Try the everything bagel - they put the βeverything stuffβ on both sides! This way there isnβt a good side and a bad side - both sides are equally great!They have a system where you order on the right and then go pay on the left. Sometimes itβs not obvious there are two lines. Especially when there are people milling about waiting for their to go orders. But they are quick, you will get your food in no time.Note: Closed on Mondays.
Love π love! This place family owned small business! Very kind Staff! Definitely recommend π. I love their everything bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon! My sister loves their lox and bagel π₯―π
My favorite local place for breakfast and lunch... small menu but packed with nice selections. Love their eggs and sandwiches on toasted bagel.
Wonderful! Great food! And Lovely people withe great costumer service ππΌ
1.) Delicious bagels (lox & the sausage egg cheese)2.) family ownedI 100% recommend coming here.
This delightful little shop is a staple in the Fairfax City Community. Delicious bagels, great coffee, and wonderful selection of cold drinks. The staff is incredibly warm and kind. It is family owned, and they will remember your face (or eyes, if you visit during covid-times). I also love that there is a place around here I can get New York style, black and white cookies!
Great bagel shop. Places to sit outside. Lots of variety. Quick service. Very friendly.
Good sandwiches, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, small local establishment. Also has outside seating.
Honestly the best bagel Ive had in quite some time.
Amazing place. The food is delicious and the staff is so friendly. Definitely recommend coming here.
Excellent bagels!! Great selection. Terrific deli meats! A definite place to go!
Love having local businesses like this in my community - friendly service (using my name, genuine thanks when ordering), cozy no-frills feeling (that some day Ill be able to sit and enjoy again) and yeah - great bagels! My favorite is egg and cheese on poppy seed, but they have tons of other options including selection of Boars Head sandwiches, salads (I especially like the grab-and-go case for for salad when Im in a rush), smoothies, etc. And their lattes cost half as much and taste twice as good than other nearby chain coffee...
Wonderful little place. The team is always so friendly and the food is good. Great assortment of bagels.
Very great customer service, quick waiting times, delicious food with a stunning menu. Great atmosphere all around, and great prices to top it off. A gem in the area, be sure to try it at least once!
Great bagels with local charm - love this place
I have absolutely no clue how anyone can give this place under 5 stars. The people that work here brighten my day every time I come in, the food is great and itβs a great start to my day. I usually get the bacon or sausage egg and cheese but the chicken sandwhich is very good to. I brag about this place to everybody I know. Anyone giving this place a bad review is absolutely ridiculous.
Yummy bagel, Boarβs head cold cuts, super nice staff!
Probably the best bagels in the City of Fairfax, if not the entire Northern Virginia region.
Best bagels Ive ever had and the owner is just a genuinely kind person and it translates into their customer service as well.
Great bagels and homemade cream cheese. The deli sells Boars Head products and the resulting bagel sandwiches are delicious. Outdoor seating is a nice touch. Good coffee drinks as well.
Bacon egg and cheese sandwich did not taste good, bagel and eggs tasted funny.
Love this place! Only deli I go to in the area for a decent bagel since the DMV doesnt have many good spots. Im biased to certain bagel types because Im from NY but main street deli comes through every time!
Good food, Great service
Great Deli! Service is prompt and delicious! Friendly folks always get it right...
Great product. Socially distanced patio dining.
I wished there was a way to order online and p/up.I really like the bagel shop because of quality ingredients and you can taste the love of bagel making.
Drove over 20 minutes to get their bagels and it was so worth it. Nice staff, too!
This is the go to place for everyone on a Sunday morning. Excellent bagel sandwiches and self service coffee. They bring the food to your table after you pay. A little eclectic with skyline pictures on the wall, old fire place, fast moving ceiling fans, and drinks stacked against the wall, but definitely a good value, good food, and friendly hard working staff serving many people.
Top notch customer service!! The food is always fresh and delicious and they are always so kind and efficient! Absolutely recommend them!!
Great, family-owned bagel shop! We are regulars and are always greeted warmly. Bagels and sandwiches are fresh and top notch!
I ordered a soy latte. It was very bad. I only had a couple sips then threw it away, then went home and made my own coffee. They up-charge for soy milk... not cool. If seeing meat makes you queasy, dont here because the meat is displayed in the front case like a butcher shop. Im giving 3 stars because the employees were nice, it was clean and their refrigerator case of drinks was well stocked, but my score for the coffee is 1 star.
Great local place, get out and try it!!
Their bagels are fresh and tasty! The breakfast and lunch are solid. I love supporting local and small businesses, especially when they deliver quality.
Best bagels in the area. The bagels are fresh and absolutely delicious every single time AND they make their own cream cheese! The service is also so incredible! Everyone has been so friendly, it lightens my day whenever I pop in. This place is my new go-to!
Great coffee and bagels!
Everyoneβs chill and the food is great! easily my favorite bagels in NOVA.
The perfect breakfast spot. My family insists on eating there any time they stop through. Im pretty sure I could drink their NY Egg Creams every day for the rest of my life and not bat an eye.
Just great bagels and service at very decent prices. Well done. Quickly has become one of our favorite morning stops.
Good gravy folks, this place is probably the greatest gem of a bagel deli ever to exist! With fantastic in-house made goodies, this place has really got it all. Best dang bagels in the DMV area I would say, I frequently go out of my way to come here to get a bakers dozen to satisfy my bagel fix.
My only complaint is I wish this place was open longer. The food is amazing the bagels are so fresh! I also ordered their chicken fantastic sandwich which is very tasty. The same people have been working in there since I have started going and they are extremely nice and friendly and run the business efficiently
Have been patronizing for years. Owners are friendly and always on the premises. Service is quick and polite. Portions are generous, and the food is delicious and of the highest quality. Best breakfast/brunch spot in Fairfax for casual dining.
Best bagel and lox in town, good service, really fun selection of stuff like Ubet syrup and Cel-Ray soda. local mainstay.
First time visitor. Nice, quaint deli. Ordered everything bagel with lox spread, and an iced coffee. Price is reasonable for the amount of lox spread. The bagel was soft on the inside, but had that slight crunch when I first bit into it. Coffee was spot on. Theres a sitting area outside for those early morning, cool afternoon, bites. The deli is in a shopping strip, and parking is free, and its not far from Fairfax County courts.
Best bagels in the area, hands down. Probably in the entire DMV. The people who work there are so friendly, service is excellent. I make a point to go every time Im around. I hope they never ever go out of business.
I had a place like this next to my high school that was family owned, and I swore by it, but Main Street Deli is definitely a hidden gem, if I ever get asked for a great local breakfast spot, this will hands down be my recommendation! The best part, other than itβs local, is its family owned, so that means, if they mess up, theyβll fix it. Period. But it wonβt happen often if at all! Mark my words, and if they do, just give them a chance to win you back, you wonβt regret giving them a second chance(IF youβre that rarity) but I wonβt go anywhere else as long as they are here!
Family own business, The nicest people. They have everything there to choose from. Their food is fresh and always awesome. And their pastries and desserts are amazing too. Go for breakfast or lunch or snack. βββββ
Great selection for a small deli/diner. Great service and good, simple food. Have been here a few times and have been coming back when Im in the area because of the above, and the great attitude of the staff.
My husband and I have enjoyed Main St bagel lunches for yearsβ¦ Excellent quality and being gluten-free, they are always careful with special diets.Their gluten free bread is the best Iβve tasted (and have cooked and have been gluten-free for many years) no matter how busy they are, theyβre always kind when we place orders to go. ππππ
The best bagel place! Great cream cheese and bagel options!
If you havent been to Main St. Bagel, you are missing out! This is the best family owned place to eat in the City of Fairfax! They serve fresh made bagels, sandwiches and soups. Main St. Bagel is a foodies paradise!
Reliable place for well made carry-out bagels with a reasonable selection of sandwiches and breakfast items. The place is almost always busy in the morning and at lunch, but tables are usually available as most customers are there for the take-away. Eating in means it is necessary to order at the counter, but food is delivered to the tables. The staff is generally pleasant and accommodating. The deli can be quite noisy, so not a good place for conversation.
Friendly service, ample parking, delicious food, giving 4 stars because it took a lot longer to get 3 bagels than I would have expected for a not super busy morning. Will come back here though!
I ordered a bagel with strawberry cream cheese which was absolutely delicious. The cream cheese had real strawberries which really elevates the flavor and texture experience. There are many options on the menu. The service was fantastic, Ill definitely be coming back!
Great place for grabbing breakfast. Bagels are some of the best in the area. The owner is super friendly!
I seriously love this place, and the family that owns it.Great, honest food, no frills and a focus on quality and consistency.Smoothies are a fantastic summer treat.Support local business! This is exactly the type we need more of, not more Corp chain stuff.
This is a hidden gem, but very popular. Great deli food with premium ingredients. Great coffee too.
They prefer you to use cash. Call ahead if you want a specific flavor Bagel cuz they run out but also continue to cook them all day. They have Boars Head deli meats also which it really tasty.
The best deli in town with the nicest owners in town
An absolute favorite spot in the area. Family owned and operated, they take a real interest in their customers. They are just about the hardest working individuals and their product is always amazing. Real bagels, real deli, and great drinks.
Awesome little deli owned and operated by a very sweet family. I stop here twice a week on average, usually to grab breakfast on my way to work. Very consistent, good food and great service.
Best bagels in NOVA
Main street Bagel Deli located on main street of Fairfax city has soft and fresh bagels in the whole town. Extremely friendly staff and with a variety of choices in their menu card. Not expensive either. Serve your health by replacing other junk food with one of these.
This place makes me so happy! Really reminiscent of old school NY delis - delicious bagels and homemade spreads and the service is great. Please support good quality local businesses like this one so we dont lose them all to mediocre bland boring chains!
Amazing bagels, amazing staff! If you are in Fairfax and need breakfast, get a bagel sandwich or one of their bagels with cream cheese. Great family owned and run local eatery. Much better than the chain bagel stores.
Love this family restaurant, would go here daily for lunch if possible. They remember your name and your order. So nice to keep a family place in business, especially in todays world
Best bagels in Virginia hands down. Awesome, neighborhood bagel shop vibe and a small business. Also, great deli as well!
Great friendly staff, wonderful manager, reasonable prices. A solid choice all around for a deli in the Fairfax area.
Bagels are super fresh, alobof choices of creame cheese, definitely go there!
There is not a better bagel place in NOVA! The owner and staff are great, the food is great, and the price is awesome.
This is my familys go-to place for Sunday brunch, and we like that its a local business. Service is a little slow when theyre busy, but thats understandable (because its a small place) and forgivable (because the food is always really good).Bonus points -- they stock Boylan Soda in the drink coolers!
Like going here for lunch and sitting towards the back. I just say my usual and they always know exactly how I prefer my food. Benefits of supporting the neighborhood stores :)
Best bagel/sandwich place in the area. Owner is such a nice guy and seems to remember all his customers. Excellent breakfast too.
Love this family owned business! My boyfriend has a dairy allergy and they always take extra care to make sure his food is safe!
Love love love these bagels! Great options for the whole family for any time if day
Amazing bagels and iced coffee. Friendly, neighborhood atmosphere.
Bagels are awesome. I tried something new (Rubin sandwich). It was good.
Places like this are getting hard to find - good, quality, family owned deli. Great bagels and sandwiches.
The bagels are great-- but our tables four bagels took 20 minutes before they were served.
Great bagels. Im Jewish and I approve.
I got a delicious sandwich, but it needed a bit more meat inside. Roast beef and brie sandwich is a favorite!
A real Jewish deli. The best in the area.
This place is my life... π€―πI go every Sunday after field hockey practice, my favorite bagle is the cheese bagel with the scallion cream cheese π
It Is very nice people and good attitude . Always welcome us .
A yummy hole in the wall restaurant. The food is a little high, but that is normal for little specialty business.
A Fairfax institution. And the best (and only independent) bagel shop in the city. A hangout, read a newspaper, and chat with friends as they come and go kind of place. The teenage/college staff can be a bit ditsy and impersonal sometimes, but the people in charge are great.
Great food and friendly service.
Great food, great service! We were very pleased with every aspect!
Not really New York style. Automatically toasted a bagel with cream cheese, and barely put any cream cheese on.
Great bagel breakfast sandwich!
