Food is great and people are too, however, when I ask for small amount of cream cheese on my sandwich it’s always too much.
I tell ‘em I barely want any, I pay for it, then I get a CHUNK of cream cheese. What is that? Love the food so I’ll just show them how much I want next time lol. I make a sandwich and the cream cheese makes everything fall out the back of the bagel.

This place saved my wife and I while we were staying a the Courtyard hotel one block over. The hotel provided only the garbage coffee typically found in hotel rooms and provided coffee in their restaurant but at highway robbery prices. I found Pearl's Bagels on my second day and went back every morning thereafter.
The two young ladies working the front and the workers baking the bagels worked well in tandem.
I tried a plain bagel one day and it was fine. I'm not really into all the bells and whistles on a bagel so I cannot accurately judge that side of the business.
I appreciated the presence of Pearl's Bagels in this neighborhood because it's not a giant chain and it was close to where I we were staying and stayed open all weekend in the period between Christmas and New Year's.

We visited this place on our first time in DC and it was so amazing. The bagels were amazing and the staff were so sweet. The coffee was also amazing. I honestly wish I lived here to come eat breakfast all the time.

I'm not a bagel connoisseur, but was very pleased with the Pharmacy Bagel - delicious! I also had hot chocolate, which was pretty good. The wait was short (<15 minutes) despite a line out the door, and the folks working were very friendly and efficient. Limited seating inside, so timing is critical if there is a large conference in town.

Ordered online and waited to go pick it up for 30 mins just to make sure I wasn't getting there too early for pickup. Got there and told them my name and they marked me as "here"? Ended up waiting another 15 minutes before I went up again and then got my bayel

One of the best bagel sandwiches my husband and I have ever had! We went around 10 am on a Saturday so we expected it to be busy but worth the wait.
I recommend going early to beat the line, but honestly it moves quick. Standing room or a place to sit is difficult to find during peak times.
Ordered 2 BEC on everything and an everything toasted with scallion cream cheese. The scallion cream cheese one saved Pearl's for us, and is why I gave 2 instead of 1 star. The BEC bagels were SO BLAND. The bacon was far too thick and so chewy, way too thick. The amount of egg was crazy, it was so thick and overtook. Egg itself is not super flavorful and it overpowered the bagel with bland. Cheese fine whatever. But at least the toasted bagel with the scallion cream cheese was good- the cream cheese had a solid amount of chive and scallion, which is usually a big complaint of mine (for other bagel joints) is the scallions are too far and few between! So I liked this quite a bit. Also- the everything bagels I think were too overloaded with the everything seasoning- hence, they weren't toasted enough because staff is (rightfully) afraid burning them and causing a burnt/bitter bagel. There was a bit too much for me and I would have preferred a harder toast. Overall, this place strikes me as more of an Instagram tourist spot than a spot where people who like good bagels and bagel sandwiches would actually go. Like i said the cream cheese saved, but didn't make it worth the value or time spent getting there, waiting in line and getting back home.

So so good! It's a quaint little place with smiling attendants and just fabulous bagels! Had the jalapeños cheese and Lox...it tastes and feels organic and the ingredients fresh. I wish they were a bit bigger with more seating... the car eating experience took away a star

A bit expensive at $15 for a drip coffee and bacon-egg-cheese bagel, but the quality is definitely high. Bagel was very fresh. Service was efficient and fast. It's nice that they have a seating area outside, but it suffers from Muriel Bowser's refusal to stop DC drivers from behaving like lunatics with modified exhausts and speeding. A nice addition to a strip of sidewalk that was a bit depressing in the past.
