    Ahhhh PopUp Bagels is finally opened and I couldn't be more ecstatic! I first tried it in New York and have been hoping for a location nearby ever since. As expected, the bagels are so yummy and schmears are heavenly. The truffle butter was amazing but I was especially surprised by how much truffle was packed in there. 10/10 worth the drive to Georgetown for these!

    If you can get lucky with parking (which we did), this is a smoothly run operation in the heart of Georgetown. Got in line about 50 customers deep as probably waited about 15 minutes. We got 3 assorted bagels and schmear...couldn't ask for much more in an experience. Served piping hot, cooked perfectly, and not overly salty yet flavorful given the specialty versions. Cool concept and would definitely go back!

    Pop up bagel is new in Georgetown and so much fun. I live about an hour outside of dc and it was well worth the trip. The line was out the door, but I didn't wait more than 10 minutes to get to the counter and my bagels were ready almost instantly! Some seating upstairs and we managed to get a seat pretty easily. Once we got to open our bag of bagels, they were so fresh that I couldn't even touch the bagel at first. When I was able to tear it, the steam wafted out like a cartoon. Everything was so perfectly baked and cream cheese so perfectly spreadable/dippable (if you do it their way). It was just a perfect bagel treat. I would not pass up an opportunity to get pop up. I'm glad they're opening more locations around Maryland/dc.

    It's opening weekend for pop up bagels, they opened on Friday and I went the day after. I was already going to be in Georgetown and a bit skeptical because I saw how long the line was the day before. I went around 1pm and the line wasn't too bad. I waited about 10 minutes in line and it took 2 minutes after to receive my bagels. I got 1 poppy, 1 sesame, and 1 salt with plain cream cheese. I ate them right outside so they would still be hot. The bagels are good! No doubt about that, are they overpriced, yes. They give you an insane amount of cream cheese. It seemed a bit wasteful to give so much. I ended up throwing mine away because I knew I wouldn't eat it later. My favorite was the salt bagel, 10/10. The sesame bagel was a let down for me. It had no taste at all. I think it's worth one try, I personally don't think I would come back anytime soon but the bagels were delicious, just a bit too pricey for me.

    I understand the hype! I totally get it! And now I'm a fan! PopUp Bagels is everything! I traveled to Georgetown this morning to try these bagels and they were delicious. I knew it was going to be a good day when there was no traffic, I found street parking and there was no line. I walked into the store and was greeted by several staff. I placed my order and the bagels came out in seconds. Nice and hot! They were sold out of the sesame seed bagels but I ordered the plain, everything and salted bagels. I am definitely coming back. 2 thumbs up.

    opening weekend for pop up bagels dc! I expected the line to be much longer but was in and out in under 15 mins! so shoutout to the staff for getting and keeping the line moving! I had previously had a pop up bagel around this time last year in new york city and i think they taste better there, that said service was fast and friendly and the bagels were hot! I got the cake batter cream cheese schmear and they made a great dip for my pretzel bites I had at home!

    I want to not like this so much because it's definitely overpriced ($15 for 3 bagels with cream cheese and no option to customize the number of bagels?), but it was delicious. I don't like toasted bagels because it dries them out and messes with the texture, but so rarely do you get truly fresh bagels served to you still hot. There's something magical about getting a bag of three piping hot bagels and scooping them into delicious spicy scallion cream cheese that just hits different than room temperature or toasted bagels. Fine, yes, I will be back. It's better to split with friends given the forced 3-bagel order, but I'm sure they would freeze well too. There's a second floor with seating as well as patio seating outside, but come early if you want to be sure to get a table; it was hopping by 9. Service was fast and efficient. Cream cheese flavors rotate weekly (and I can say spicy scallion was a great one). I wish they gave slightly more bagel for the volume of cream cheese, but really I enjoyed it quite a bit.

    My friends and I went pretty much right at opening before work. It was great way to start the mornings. Service was good and I loved that they had some chairs outside for dining. I thought the bagels and spreads were really good. It was a fun concept to rip and dip. Although if the bagels aren't eaten within an hour the ripping gets hard. I don't love that you can't you order single bagels and the sizes of the spreads don't vary. I think Popup is great to try once in a while if there's no lines. I definitely wouldn't wait 30+ minutes to try.

    I was lucky enough to try Pop Up Bagels on their opening day! The line was wrapped around the block, with people waiting hours just to get a taste. I tried an assortment of bagels, with the everything bagel being my favorite. I also sampled two schmeers--the scallion cream cheese and the hotel butter--and both were delicious. Overall, it's such a fun spot to check out!

    The best bagel in town! And shout out to all the crew in Pop Up bagel DC everyone are so nice and very approachable. Always looking forward to go there and definitely my goto bagel place.

    I'm not a bagel girlie but these, I'm sold on! They're fresh to order and so soft, not hard at all. I ordered a 6 pack with their cake batter schmear. They were very quick, even with a line and being newly opened.

    We also had so much schmear left over to take home and have with other bagels or sandwiches.

    If I could give six stars, I absolutely would…read more So's Your Mom is honestly the closest thing I've found to a New York bodega vibe in Northwest DC, and I adore this place. I stop in at least once a week and I'm incredibly boring because I almost always get a plain bagel, but somehow it is exactly what I want every single time. And every once in a while they have salt bagels and I get irrationally excited about it. Maybe they have them more often and I'm just showing up too late, but finding one feels like winning the lottery. The family that runs this place is just wonderful. They take really good care of people and you can feel that when you walk in. I know a lot of people go for the sandwiches, but I love the whole experience: ordering my bagel and then immediately wandering over to the snack aisle. Calling it an aisle almost undersells it because it's not huge, but somehow it's packed with random treasures. They always seem to have unique snacks from different places or really high quality things you don't see everywhere else. I somehow never leave with only a bagel. A couple quick notes for first-timers: it's cash only, and as a dog owner myself, don't bring your dog inside. Just be respectful. This place has so much heart, and in a city where everything can feel a little polished or curated, So's Your Mom just feels real. Love this place.

    Picture this: your living in a climate changed world of meteorologic chaos. It's February in…read moreWashington DC but you've got yourself a 73° sunny day in your hands. Your in the great neighborhood of Adams Morgan. You're outside doing some repairs on a condo when you casually drop to your client that's you're heading to lunch, probably Andy's or something. Then the clouds part (metaphorically) and this woman, this angel on Earth suggests you actually try So's Your Mom. She raves about it. It all makes sense to you. Andy's has got enough money. Those stores are popping up like wildfire to hell with that. I'm going to So's Your Mom. It's my kind of place too. Nondescript, mom and pop type of place. Been there for decades. No flashy gimmicks just reliable sandwiches and apparently coffee based on their decor (But I'm here for lunch!). The guy at the counter is friendly, he's a talker, he's got recommendations. I don't need them but I ask for all of em Hit me pal! I ignore all of them and get a turkey avocado BLT situation. FANTASTIC. And somehow the bag of indie potato chips is criminally underpriced. He doesn't know they're charging like $3.50 a pop for these down at Adams, Morgan, Ace and other places around the city. Maybe they're going to know it when they read this review and if prices go up I'm sorry but also these greedy DC landlords are wrenching rent prices everywhere and So's your mom has to pay the bills! Anyway it's worth every penny and I can't wait to go back. Wish I lived in AdMo
