Call Your Mother Lil' Deli - McLean

It’s an alright bagel place. the cinnamon raisin bagel I got was pretty good, the service was faster than I expected and the quirky atmosphere was fairly charming. My only major complaint is the inconvenient location. It’s in a little shopping center that’s Kinda hard to get to and not really close to much else. Also it’s really small and absolutely crammed into its tiny retail space. Other than that it’s alright.

I’ve been meaning to try Call Your Mother in Dc but never got around to it so I was very happy they opened closer to me in McLean! My friend and I went around 10:30/11am on a Saturday and there was a fairly long line. The line goes pretty fast but we did have to wait about 20-30mins for our bagels. Definitely longer than you’d expect at a bagel shop. BUT very good quality bagel sandwiches—we were very satisfied. We got the pizza bagel and the thunderbird. The truck is super cute. I would go back as I think they have the best bagel sandwiches I’ve had but I definitely wouldn’t go when I’m starving because I’d anticipate a wait.

The Call Your Mother Lil' Deli in McLean is a pretty good bagle place to grab a bite from. The service was friendly, our bagles came out fairly quickly. Seating is very limited. We have tried the The Queen's Point, The Royal Palm and The Sun City (with bacon) and we loved the queens point smoked veggie cream cheese. If you are in the area we recommend stopping by if they are not busy.

Came here bc of tik tok. Such a cute place. There was a line, we waited around 15 mins and took around 10 min to get the food. There are a good amount of tables to sit but 4/6 are without shade, which is terrible when it’s hot and sunny or rainy. They ran out of lemonade around 1pm. I got the Mountain View, it was delicious. My husband got the Thunderbird and he thought it was good too. He said he was still hungry after he finished so I guess it’s not that filling. Overall I think it’s a good spot to get brunch.

Pretty good bagels! The Thunderbird was delicious though I agree with others’ reviews that the bagel could be toasted more/crispier (it was soft, edging on soggy), and that there could be more heat to balance out the honey. It was also missing something to give it an extra pizzazz - maybe a quince jam or something pickled/tart?

Adorable little truck makes it easy to get the best bagel sandwich in the area without going all the way to DC! Would recommend placing an order online before you go, so you don't have to wait or wait in line !

Bacon Sun City on a maple salt & pepper bagel, no charge for substitution. Made to order. Took to go and came home still piping hot. No line on a Wednesday afternoon. If there’s a line prepare to wait bc like we said Made To Order. Adorable food truck and fun packaging. Some mysterious pink sprinkles in bag but nothing with sprinkles ordered. The bagels are soft and fresh. Fun if passing by and not near your usual fav neighborhood shop like Manhattan or Bodos.

Tasty bagel place, convenient to where I live. I ordered ahead online so I didn’t really have to wait once I got there. A little pricier than I would usually pay but still delicious.
