We're visiting Washington, DC and found Pearl's Bagels through a Yelp search -- but the line…read moreoutside definitely caught our attention too. Now we totally get the hype. It's that good. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell why it's so popular. Pro tip: order ahead on the Toast app -- we did that and were able to skip the line completely, which made things so much easier since it gets really busy. Only suggestion: would LOVE to see a jalapeño bagel added. That said, the customization options were great -- we added pickled jalapeños to the jalapeño cream cheese and some hot sauce, and it was so good. Super yummy, totally worth the hype, and we'd absolutely come back next time we're in DC.

The establishment and the thought and care these staff put into each order definitely makes up for it though. The bagel was the most interesting part, since I got a maple & salt (i think) which added a touch of sweet to my savory breakfast! The rest of the bagel sandwich was just fine, nothing special in my book. I did like how much decor and paint there was inside the establishment, and I also liked how much seating there was inside with nice chairs and all (I think CYM shares with a hotel (?)). But there were also little order-specific stickers on each bagel that came out, which I thought was super cute. Definitely come here with a friend! It's a very solid spot.

There is an ATM inside if you need cash. Their bagels are baked fresh, daily. There is a vast assortment of bagel flavors. The bagel quality is good. On my last visit, I ordered a cheese jalapeño bagel breakfast sandwich, however, the sandwich was greasy and I chalked it up to the quality of cheese. The customer service is good and there is indoor seating for dine-in. Overall, a good option for breakfast sandwiches in the area.

It was half the customers trying to figure it out and half the staff trying the best to explain. Staff was friendly, but beware there will likely be a line when you visit.

It didn't disappoint here. Great size, lots of schmear, you get your choice. And the lox and other flavors were really fresh. I look forward to trying other bagel flavors and schmear as well! The Caesar salad schmear was calling my name, but next time! I wish this business luck and success!

Iced Cold Brew: The cold brew coffee had a low acidity, which suited me perfectly. This shop is always packed, with lines and full tables being commonplace. We ordered takeout online in advance and shared our sandwiches on a bench on the Georgetown University lawn. In the quiet, secluded atmosphere, it suddenly came to me that it is wasting time what the life should really be.

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

The signs outside advertising bagels got our attention. This establishment is cash only, so bring cash or hit the ATM before you come. The prices are incredibly reasonable, though, and probably less overhead/swipe fees. The whitefish and lox spread bagel was wonderful for only $5. It is not a huge bagel but the perfect size for breakfast. Personally, I'd rather not have any leftovers since I'm traveling and our room didn't have a mini-fridge or microwave anyway. You wait for your food for awhile, but we found some nice locals to chat with and they recommended a few other spots to us. There's no seating so you must take your food to go.
