Wood-fired bagels, deli sandwiches, pastries, and coffee with unique twists
"D.C.-born Call Your Mother brought its hit wood-fired bagels across the Potomac River for the first time in April. The pink-and-teal shop on wheels, dubbed 'Lil Deli,' parks at the Chesterbrook Shopping Center in McLean." - Tierney Plumb
"The popular “Jew-ish” deli and bagel shop starts taking pre-orders soon for annual holiday offerings like its latke platter or raspberry-guava doughnuts. Available for pickup and delivery during regular hours." - Tierney Plumb
"Operating as a pink-and-teal shop on wheels dubbed "Lil Deli," the deli will park at the renovated Chesterbrook Shopping Center this spring and open in a few weeks with a walk-up counter, full menu, and patio seating from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily; an additional Virginia shop is planned for Old Town at a TBA address. Locals had been asking for a Call Your Mother outpost, co-owner Andrew Dana says, and the new mobile storefront brings the brand’s signature items—spheres with inventive fillings, bacon or pastrami egg-and-cheese sandwiches, latkes, chocolate babka muffins, Lost Sock Roasters coffee, and the Dolcezza gelato collab—across the Potomac; the revamped shopping center is also home to a weeks-old South Block juice shop." - Tierney Plumb
"The hit “Jew-ish” deli selling wood-fired bagels from chef Daniela Moreira and her Timber Pizza Co. partners has expanded in a big way during the pandemic. The Georgetown store drew national attention when it received a visit from President Joe Biden’s motorcade. Call Your Mother is known for its bacon (or pastrami) egg and cheese and funky combinations like mashed avocado and Fritos. Other innovations include a nacho-jalapeno cream cheese and the addition of a cheddar bagel." - Eater Staff
"This fast-expanding, wood-fired bagel shop and deli has built a loyal following with outposts quickly taking root across the D.C. area. The Sun City breakfast sandwich is the classic bodega-style egg-and-cheese option, available with bacon, pastrami, or no meat at all." - Tierney Plumb
