Solid Bagels
DESCRIPTION: Don't expect NY bagels anywhere outside of New York the secret is the water. But Einstein makes up for it with quality bagels and good sandwiches. For bagels; I recommend the Asiago Cheese (*be careful when toasting it at home- the cheese has a tendency to burn! Set it on LOW), the chocolate chip, and the potato bagel (in addition to bagel store classics like sesame, poppy, salt, everything, etc.) Their sandwiches are equally good. Try to avoid the crowds- they only have two registers. However if someone has a complex order ahead of you, it is perfectly acceptible to cut in front of them. It seems there are two lines- one to get your order placed, and another to pay for your order.

Lousy Bagels
DESCRIPTION: This store is basicly a Starbucks wanna be. If you think their bagels are good you are obviously not from New York. The bagels are covered with corn meal... Nasty! Otherwise, they are a fair coffee shop. I haven't found a good bagel shop in the Gaithersburg area since Capital Bagel closed. *sniff*

ehhh, you can do better.
DESCRIPTION: I went with my wife on Sunday afternoon. The burgers were greasy and lack-luster. Is there any reason to go back?!

Best pizza in Gaithersburg
DESCRIPTION: Great pizza with fresh mozzarella and great sauce. Most everything on the menus is quite good, but pizza stands out. Price is right, too.

Consistently Good
DESCRIPTION: I've been going here for many years, and they always produce a good pizza--the best in the area that I've found. Kind of off the main roads, it's never very busy; I keep thinking it will go out of business.
