Does anyone know if they have plans for a new spot in Bethesda? (please don’t respond with the Pike & Rose spot - that is Rockville no matter that some developer decided to call it “North Bethesda”).


As if you are too good to drive two miles


So true! Just drive the 2 miles. Don’t be a Bethesda snob.

Bagels, like pizza and tacos, spark such passion in people. I love it when people have strong feelings about food.

But maybe your investment in Call Your Mother will work out, good luck!

The original location is the Park View location.

I also miss Bagel City! I think the store front is still empty. Tatte just moved in across the Pike, but the BC location would have been much better I think for size, parking lot, and access points.

Re Call Your Mother, convenience aside (Park and Rose is not, and the parking situation is horrible for pick up and run in), their turkey sandwiches on challah were a great lunch offering!

We’re trying to save others from spending their hard-earned money there.


By encouraging them to substitute your elevated and refined judgment for their own? Why not not say they're not to your taste, instead of proclaiming yourself the arbiter for everyone? Insufficiently ego gratifying, I suppose.

I assume you mean Bagels Etc. on P street. If so - amazing bagels!! Definitely the best. We used to live around the corner and I still miss that place, any time we’re nearby we try to go.

Another would-be chain from the DC areas with mid food and sky high prices. Yawn.

I’m especially a fan of the whitefish salad there (which is disgusting at Bethesda Bagels). I hope they relocate on the Woodmont Triangle side of Bethesda!


What? The homemade whitefish salad at Bethesda Bagels is very good.


Ew it is overly mayonaise-y at Bethesda Bagels.


Not the homemade whitefish salad, super good. They also have another whitefish salad, not homemade, that has a lot of mayo.
