SecretDC

September 2025

Ranked #5 best bagel shop in the nation.

“Quality ingredients? Check. Chewy, fresh bagels? Check. A selection of sandwiches to fit any craving, from sweet to spicy? Check.”

Food & Wine

March 2021

Named among the best bagels in America.

“One of the finest bacon egg and cheese sandwiches in the country… near-perfect modern New York-style bagels—not too little, not too big, confidently tall, and never too dense inside.”

Eater

July 2019

Named one of the 16 Best New Restaurants in America.

“The self-described ‘Jew-ish’ deli that ended D.C.’s much-kvetched-about bagel drought… based on the fanatical response and nearly hour-long weekend waits, it’s done it better than any before. [They] nail the basics, then take them a step further.”

Bon Appétit

2019

Named one of Bon Appétit’s 50 nominees for America’s Best New Restaurants.

"I’ve been to the original location in DC so when I found out one just opened in FOCO, I had to go. It’s as good as I remember. The bagels are great and the sandwiches are super yummy." - Adee, Google Reviewer
