What People Are Saying
from Google"Bagel selection is great! We tried a couple of bagel sandwiches—the Breakfast Spud and The Reuben—and both tasted amazing. I also ended up buying a tub of cream cheese (scallion & chives and chocolate), which were both delicious. The egg salad was really good too. Definitely a spot worth coming back to! 🥯"
"Amazing bagels & sandwiches! This is a local, family run business and they are wonderful people who truly make some of the best bagels around! Can’t go wrong with a bacon egg and cheese and the Rueben was a great lunch option. The photo doesn’t do it justice!"
"Bagel Uprising in Del Ray is hands down the best bagel shop in the area! The bagels are fresh, perfectly chewy, and full of flavor—you can truly taste the quality in every bite. Their spreads and sandwiches are just as amazing, making it impossible to pick a favorite. On top of the incredible food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a real community feel. Chad, the owner, goes above and beyond—he’s friendly, passionate, and genuinely cares about his customers. You can tell he puts his heart into making Bagel Uprising a special spot for everyone who walks through the door. If you’re in Del Ray (or even just passing through), this is a must-visit. Bagel Uprising and Chad have definitely earned my five stars!"
"Great service, always friendly conversations. Good music, outdoor seating tucked away in an alleyway. Huge portions at low prices. Delicious food, and the lunch sandwiches come with fresh chips. 10/10."
"Great Bagels ‼️ Very fresh and delicious cream cheese choices. Only noticed hot chocolate was available, but wide variety of cold juices & sodas."
