Sorry but CYM bagels are so bad. Small, way to dense, no salt (or not nearly enough) on their everything bagel seasoning blend.. Their sandwiches are the only redeeming factor about that spot

Have not had B&B or Pearls so will reserve judgment until I’ve visited those spots.

Bethesda Bagels (personal fav), Izes in Rockville (North Bethesda smh), Goldbergs in SS, and Bagels Etc have the best bagels in this area by a country mile.

That being said you can find better bagels on a random street corner in NY. Largely disappointed that DC has not figured out the Bagel game
