  I think the problem with people saying that the customer service is lacking also has to do with the area.The Washington DC area is very transient and people who shop at the store aren't particularly pleasant themselves.Unlike say a traditional bakery in a small town or close knit urban center,of days long ago,Bethesda centrally has it's share of government people with one thing on there minds,which is schmoozing.

  Bagels are pretty good, although the quality has been slipping over the last year. The staff are inattentive.

  In an earlier rating, I gave by mistake one star too many to this below average bakery place.

  Quite average breads. French baguettes leave much to be desired. Too much dough, crust not crispy enough. Should take lessons from "Au bon pain" on Pennsylvania Ave, or "Randolph pastries" at 4500 Lee Highway, Fallschurch, NVa. Those places are truly first rate bakeries AND pastries!
  
  Lousy service, even at times when there were hardly any patrons around.

  I love bakeries, but I wish this one wasn't so ... "blah"? When I
  go there, the people helping you seem like they could be
  working at 7-11 and not notice the difference. Also, there's so
  many different breads, but no way to be enticed into getting
  them if you don't know what they are. Another bakery chain has
  friendlier, enthused staff, and free bread tasting all the time. I
  LOVE going to them, but they are so far away. So, what Breads
  Unlimited has, is proximity, but they should upgrade their
  customer experience. They recently FINALLY added a table to sit
  at, so perhaps they're mending their ways. I hope so!
