Pearl's Bagels

"Pearl’s Bagels in Mt. Vernon Triangle is in the perfect spot to grab a quick breakfast sandwich to start your day. The menu is deep, with predesigned bagels like the Frenchie topped with honey ham, eggs, gruyere, and heaps of spicy mustard, but you can also build your own. The shop is open daily but closes at 2pm, so make sure to skip that morning meeting that could’ve been an email if you’re craving their sweet honey butter slathered on a whole wheat bagel." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras

"A bagel shop in Washington, D.C., that gave its staff a paid day off to protest anti-immigrant policies." - Amy McCarthy

"Craving a tasty breakfast sandwich? Pearl’s Bagels has got you covered. All of Pearl’s bagels are hand-rolled and made from a sourdough starter that many in the city consider D.C.’s best bagel. Order up a classic lox, egg and cheese, or build your own bagel breakfast sandwich at this bagel shop located directly across the street from the Convention Center.  Go for: Breakfast  Distance from CC: 0.1 mile" - Tim Ebner

"When you’re running late, this tiny bagel shop across from the convention center serves soft, tasty, lifesaving bagels, but Pearl’s is also a great place to post up and do your morning work. Most folks run in and out of the Mt. Vernon Triangle cafe, but there are comfy nook tables and tons of outlets if you want to whip out your laptop while you enjoy your Frenchie, a bagel topped with juicy honey ham, eggs, gruyere cheese, and heaps of spicy dijon mustard. The shop is open daily but closes at 2pm, so make sure to skip that meeting that should’ve been an email if you’re craving their sweet honey butter slathered on a whole wheat bagel. photo credit: Nina Palazzolo" - Tristiaña Hinton

"Chewy, plump bagels that rise with the assistance of sourdough starter come from this small shop in Mt. Vernon Triangle with roots in New Jersey. Doctor up classic bagel flavors with honey butter or a jalapeno cheddar spread. Cold brew and drip coffee come from beans supplied by Small World Coffee in Princeton. Order here for pickup through 1 p.m." - Missy Frederick, Eater Staff
