Discover DC: Bullfrog Bagels

Welcome back to another post in my Discover DC series (Check out Bluestone Lane and Union Market), which is my insider/blogger perspective on some of my favorite spots in Washington DC. Today, I’m sharing the most adorable little bagel shop with you, Bullfrog Bagels. This little shop is actually located inside of a quaint little townhouse just down the street from Eastern Market. They have three locations in DC, however, I think this one on 7^th Street is the cutest!

Believe it or not, Bullfrog Bagels used to actually be a pop-up shop that became so well-loved, that they opened up permanent locations. They are known across the District for their chewy, hand-rolled, hand-boiled bagels that they make fresh in-house every day! The menu is simple and there are not a million flavors, but what they do have is GOOD.

I got a sesame bagel with egg and cheese and it made for the perfect Saturday breakfast. They also have bomb cream cheese in a TON of different and unique flavors, which they make in-house as well. If you’re more adventurous, they have very unexpected options like smoked salmon, onion and even liverwurst. Not my cup of tea, but if you’re feeling it, go for it!

The shop is super simple/no frills and it’s pretty small (it is a townhouse, after all), so I might recommend it more for a grab-and-go option, although they do have seating outside and upstairs!

*Pro-tip – Since the shop is small, I would definitely recommend getting there on the earlier side to beat the crowds (particularly on the weekends!)

*Bonus Pro-tip – If you go on a nice day, see if you can snag one of the outside tables on the second floor porch! It has the cutest little view of the street!

Bagels make me SO HAPPY. What’s your favorite flavor??
