We tried these for the first time last week - the SO drove up and said it was mad crazy and they were out of a bunch (everythings!) of varieties -- but it was fairly late in the morning. 4 bagels and cream cheese were reasonably priced.
Overall though, the bagels themselves were awesome! Very near to the NJ bagels my grandmother always gets when I'm home.

Goldberg's Bagels is now open in Silver Spring (in old Kirsten's place). Went there last Sunday. Pretty disorganized for the crowds-- no signs telling you that the first line was to place an order, and the second line was to pick up/pay. So that meant you had to talk to your fellow line-mates and actually have a conversation with strangers while waiting!
Before I rate Goldberg's, let's get my curriculum vitae on the table: I was born and bred in Brooklyn and, of course, am Jewish. That said, the bialy I had at Goldberg's was the best ever. Mind you, it wasn't really like a NY bialy as it was hard on the outside (NY bialy’s are soft). But it was sublime -- crusty and brown giving way to an indefinable (that is subtle) sweetness, with a bit of that sweet onion mess in the middle. I filled up sufficiently on the bialys that I didn't try a bagel until later. I need to try a fresh one to give that an honest rating.
Note this is an orthodox Jewish operation -- closes early on Friday (gee, I need to run out now and get some) and closed on Saturday.

re: DanielK
They were business associates, I think Baltimore guy as boss in his location, then the Rockville spinoff buying from the same dough maker in NJ that allowed people to sell under the Goldberg's name, the Baltimore guy who seemed more senior in the arrangement registered it before the Rockville guy was open and forgot to renew it, he feels the Rockville guy stole his knowledge and the name but can't afford a prior use/same geographical area/likelihood of confusion trademark infringement case. The Baltimore guy's Black Russian bagel is just stellar, and the best in Baltimore IMHO. Not related, just an eater. Bottom line--is Rockville/Silver Spring as good? Is it better than all other DC? Bagel Smackdown!
