Call Your Mother Deli - West End

The food and staff are amazing and I've become a regular because of it. Syx and Freddie do an amazing job managing such a high volume store. The lines can get long on weekends but that's because everyone knows it's good. However, plz bring back the chicken caesar sandwich <3

Maybe I just came at an off time, the staff was very sweet but the service was extremely slow. Overall it was a okay experience, I believe they forgot my coffee and I had been standing there for over 10 mins so I just left it. The bagel was delicious and would definitely order it again. They said they would ‘text you’ when it was done but they just ended up calling the names out for each order. This location is attached to Yours Truly hotel. I would return to this location.

There is a reason there is a line out the door for this deli. The cashier and I got into a super brief conversation about the name Wendy/and its Peter Pan origins. By the time I picked up my food, the gentleman running the orders (which was amazingly organized and fast..-kudos) mentioned there was a special treat for me in the bag. They had included a cookie with a quote from Peter Pan. As a human, I found this touchingly thoughtful... And as a librarian- I could not have been more delighted! Food was super yum, as well! Win all the way around and I highly recommend. Thanks for a great experience.

Bacon Sun City was delicious and exactly what I was hoping for! Cold brew was also very enjoyable.

Overall decent breakfast place. Plain bagel with cream cheese and apple juice was amazing.

Will try something else and hopefully earn that 5th star.

Food was average and had long line to order.

The design and aesthetics of the place were very nice and surprising for a bagel shop.

Looking for a quick breakfast bagel shop while visiting D.C. we came across Call Your Mother Deli. We figured it had to be good when we turned the corner and noticed a line out the door. The decor was very cute, staff was friendly, cold brew coffee was delicious (wish they offered more than one size) and bagels and CYM bangers were delicious. We stopped in every morning while in town and everything was CONSISTENTLY good and even grabbed some bagels for home.

It’s a take out place with a few tables outside. I ordered the hummus sandwich. There is a nice crunch from whole chickpeas and the vegetables. The rye bread is the best I’ve ever had.

Stepping into this bagel shop feels less like entering a classic deli and more like a carefully curated Instagram feed come to life. This spot is a masterclass in modern, minimalist design with a warm, welcoming twist. This is a place where you're encouraged to linger, not just grab-and-go. While the aesthetic is pure hipster bliss, the bagels are where the true magic happens. Unlike the dense, chewy New York-style bagels that dominate the scene, this shop offers a bagel that's more about a perfect, pillowy interior with just the right amount of crispness on the outside. It’s a lighter, airier take, thanks to their sourdough starter. The Everything bagel is perfectly coated—no sad, barren bottoms here—and the salt-to-seed ratio is a thing of beauty. The coffee is thoughtfully sourced, and the service is friendly and efficient. Be prepared for a line, especially on weekends, but it moves quickly and gives you ample time to soak in the chill atmosphere and plot your order. This spot is more than just a breakfast shop; it’s a destination that proves DC’s bagel scene is a force to be reckoned with, blending old-school quality with a fresh, contemporary spirit.
