Buffalo & Bergen - Cleveland Park

Was in the Cleveland Park area of Washington, DC for my kid to have a shadow day at Burke School. On a cold overcast morning I needed some breakfast, and Buffalo & Bergen answered the bell. When I walked in the door, I was warmly greeted by several staff members. After a review of the menu I made the choice to dine in. My server was pleasant, informative and a delight. I was able to get a home made Diet Coke, and a breakfast sandwich. My food came out quickly, and it was fresh, flavorful and delicious. This was my first time eating at this restaurant, but it won’t be my last. If you happen to be in the neighborhood please check out Buffalo & Bergen, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

At long last! Echoing everyone else in saying that I’m so excited to finally have Buffalo & Bergen in Cleveland Park! B&B was one of the first places I went to when I moved here and was living over in NoMa; have missed their bagels and sandwiches, so glad to have them close again! Love that they offer vegan sausage too. Bagels are fresh and delicious; although I did take out this time, the interior is charming and full of light! Can’t wait to go back and eat in next time.

Excellent breakfast Reuben. Really good coffee. Top notch service and a delightful, bright atmosphere. A fantastic new addition to the neighborhood -- looking forward to returning.

So happy to have B&B in Cleveland Park! The location is perfect, food is amazing, and staff are outgoing and friendly.

So excited to have Buffalo & Bergen in Cleveland Park! My bacon, egg & cheese was great, staff was friendly, and the interior was beautiful. Can’t wait for the patio to open once the weather is nicer!

Closest thing you can get to a NY-style bacon, egg & cheese in DC. Space is beautiful, employees are very friendly and the prices are reasonable. Add Kaiser rolls as a bread choice for breakfast sandwiches and this place will get 10 ⭐️

First review! They opened February 2025, and were doing training this morning. Fascinating concept- counter serve, bar, and sit down, all for breakfast. Very fun atmosphere, great BEC, looking forward to coming back.

Went on opening day and they were well organized from the start! I loved the sausage, egg, and cheese I got and the coffee was great!

Buffalo & Bergen is quickly becoming my favorite neighborhood spot for any meal -- especially weekend brunch and early dinner. Their pizza? Secretly incredible but only available limited hours, so definitely check before you go. My go-to brunch pick is the Breakfast Bandito sandwich -- packed with flavor and totally satisfying. Cocktails are on point, with a special shoutout to their unique espresso martini made with tequila and RumChata (trust me, it's amazing). The bartender and all the staff are super friendly and always happy to accommodate. A real local gem!

Literally the best veggie bagel sandwich. The bagel was so light and all the veggies were so fresh. Love the clean space and all the staff were so nice and helpful.

Buffalo and Bergen, a New York-style bagel shop, is a new addition to Cleveland Park's Main Street. There are two other locations in Capitol Hill and Union Market. This place took almost a year to open, so I was excited to try it, especially since I lived in NY and am still in search of a good bagel place here. The inside is cute and modern, with a moderate amount of seating. I ordered online and my food was ready in about 10 minutes. I ordered: The latkes: they came with bourbon applesauce and crème fraîche. These were delicious- crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. I think I preferred them with the bourbon applesauce. Breakfast Reuben: pastrami, brisket, a fried egg, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. I ordered it with an everything bagel. It was good, it came with a generous amount of meat, and the brisket was flavorful. I got two meals out of it. Overall, I enjoyed my bagel sandwich and latkes, and am looking forward to try this new addition to Cleveland Park again!

A fun new place in Cleveland Park! Great staff, cool sandwich options (loved the brisket) and wonderful Bloody Mary! Coming back for sure.

I have been here numerous times. The food is fresh and fantastic. The tuna salad is made from scratch and highly recommend it! Service is great and bagels are delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating too

Staff are unfriendly and unhelpful and they were not busy as at all. It seemed as if the staff were perhaps new hires. My simple, cold sandwich took 15 minutes to make. The meat was flavorful but the bread crumbled and I eventually had to throw most of it away. I am SO disappointed since I live in the area and wanted it to be a great deli. BTW: I have had good experiences, in contrast, at their Union Market location. But the folks in Cleveland Park are just unprofessional, incompetent, and unfriendly.

I had hope for this place but unfortunately it disappointed for the most part. I got the fries and a Macha. The menu claimed crispy fires but they were not. They were thick but not crispy. They did not mention that the fries would have seasoning. It had too much salt. Tje Macha was nothing special but not bad. The service was fine but self ordering should not ask for tips. I don't think I'll be back. Not, with the food hall opening right near by.

Beautiful Space, friendly staff!! Quon was soooo kind and Friendly answered all my questions and made me an amazing vanilla chi!! say Hi to him!! They have Tumeric Lattes!!! Hello!!!!! And a Lavender Latte ... so def go!!!

Was very busy on a Sunday afternoon. The decor and vibe are nice but may have to wait for a table. The latkes were very good and a good size. The bagel sandwiches are fresh and tasty. The French toast bagel is a great sweet dessert!

I've been here three times. Things are tasty, but the pastrami was chewy and the bagels are WAY too dense.
