Sclafani’s New York Bagels and Bread

Bagels do not get any better than this in the Winchester area. Whether you want a single toasted with cream cheese, or whether you want a half dozen or dozen with a container of cream cheese, you will be more than happy. Recommend the everything’s. Have yet to try their coffee.

Excellent food and incredible staff!!! The breakfast bagel was delicious and the owners were delightful. Will return again and again!

I had given up on eating bagels on a regular basis until I found this place. There is no substitute for real deal boiled bagels. Do yourself a favor and pitch those grocery store bagels and check out this place. I would consider the prices dirt cheap considering the high quality. Its no wonder they have a perfect Unilocal rating.

I was looking for a good, local sandwich shop to cater a business meeting that I had nearby. I wanted something that wasn’t a typical chain type place and this was a great find. They helped over the phone with ordering (I was calling from 150 miles away) and their suggestions were spot on. We had the Italian, meat ball, chicken parm and sausage/​peppers subs. The rolls are home made and fresh. I ordered several fresh bagels to go so I could enjoy them at home, especially during the snow blizzard. The place was busy and understandably so!

We went in and everyone was working which is understandable. We stand at the counter and wait to be greeted after we had decided what we wanted. And we continue to wait to be greeted. The girl finally walks up to the register never greeting us and was not friendly at all. My daughter orders a plain bagel. She said grumpily «we don’t have that we only have what’s in the case». So I then said what about the cookies «she said «they aren’t for sale» we finish our order and pay. While we are waiting someone else was ordering and we hear her say «we don’t have that because we closed at 3:00». So this explains why she was so grumpy. We were ordering at about 2:50. While we were eating she went over to turn the open sign off while someone from outside was approaching the door and I presume her boss made her go get them and let them in and told her «you don’t do that!!» Shame on her for being so nasty! People like him that keep a great business going but with people like her when he’s not around, might run it into the ground!

Best bagels in Winchester. Rivals any NY bagel shop. Staff is super friendly and the owner loves what he does – and it shows. My wife and I come here at least once a week!

The best bagels and bread ever. Great personal service from family owned bakery.

My wife and I stopped in at Sclafanis this morning and were pleasantly surprised.
We both went for the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Bagel. The sandwich was delicious and the bagels were nothing short of spectacular. The sweet tea here was shockingly good. I also gave my wife’s coffee a try and it was also very good.
I’d say that the Shenandoah Valley is privileged to have such a solid northeastern inspired spot. We will definitely be back!

BEST bagels anywhere! Stop wasting your money and life at Panera! Baked fresh, they are authentically boiled and rolled in massive amounts of flavor (onion/​garlic, poppy, sesame, etc.), and copious heaps of cream cheese (tons of home made flavors too) are dolled out — all at, well, let’s just say remarkable prices. Getting such high quality food for such value is rare these days.
As others have said, their sandwiches are excellent, it’s hard to fail on the bread that is made throughout the day. They are all monstrously filling. My now-​fav is the Philly.
Sweet family biz, support local! Pull off 81 if just passing by. easy freeway access and you won’t find another bagel shop this good until NY if headed North, and you’re just in trouble if headed South.

This is my favorite sandwich place in the Winchester area! We had the egg plant parm, chicken parm, and cheese steak subs and they were amazing! The service was wonderful– the owner even took the time to bring us a complimentary dessert as well as chat with us about how he makes his delicious bagels. We will be back often!

Wow I just had the best breakfast bagel sandwich ever! Fresh fresh fresh!!! Thank you guys and keep up the great work!!!

OMG. A taste of home!!! NY bagels were amazing and very reasonably priced! I also ordered a bagel sandwich and they had pork roll!!! Those from the Trenton area remember that from your youth! The sweets all looked so wonderful… Can’t wait to try them another day!

Went back the other day and now they have cookies! These may have been the best cookies I’ve ever eaten. chocolate chip with some kind of choclate brownie type filling, peanut butter with a chocolate filling (but not liquid, almost like another cookie inside the cookie), and a lemon sugar cookie. I hate lemon cookies but this was awesome. Cookies are the perfect mix of crunchy and chewy.

They nailed it. Sweated all the details. Result, a real, authentic NY bagel shop. Great product and super nice folks.

I’ve waited 15 years to have a bagel shop that makes bagels the proper way, in my opinion, come to this area! I love bagels that have been boiled and then baked. This creates a wonderful chewy outside and soft inside, my idea of a perfect bagel! The other reason I love this shop is because the staff/​owners are extremely friendly. I hope this place last for a long time!

My wife and I had lunch there last Saturday. We had the meatball sub and the cheese steak. Both were excellent! I can’t wait to try the pork roll sandwhich. I’m from NJ and that is a common breakfast sandwhich.

Awesome place. Super friendly service, great food, and the first time I ever liked a cannoli!
Update: went back a second time, even better and get the cheddar jalepeno crème cheese!

I’m sad. I’m sad because I just ate the last bite of my lox bagel sandwich with tomato and onion. And now it’s gone. Sad.
I think this is the only lox sandwich within 50 miles! This Sunday morning is our first visit, and we were welcomed (with our newspaper) by the owner, Chris. Nice guy, great bagels, good coffee. There’s a steady line of people buying bags of bagels and sandwiches to go, and tables full of families and students. Good music. We will definitely be back!

Amazing! Finally a place that can deliver the taste of delicious New York bagels without the five hour drive! The bagels are fresh and the meatball sub is on point. I’ve been here several times since they opened last month and have not had anything but superb tasting food and service. The price is right and the six inch meatball sub is so large that one can easily share.

The music was really loud in the shop and it was hard to hear when they called your order. The bagels were good but all had a hint of onion. I had the blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and my husband had a sausage, egg, cheese bagel.
Overall the place was just ok.
