“Dear PoPville,

Do you know what is happening with Pop’s bagels in Mount Pleasant? They were open but the last few times I’ve tried to go they were inexplicably closed when online it said they should be open. No permanently closed sign or online post…

They are/were great to have in the neighborhood.”

“We’re excited to announce that PopUp Bagels, the “Not Famous, but Known®” bagel shop, will open its first Washington D.C. store in Georgetown at 1078 Wisconsin Avenue NW on March 27. Please note, due to construction timelines, the confirmed opening dates can be slightly influx and could be subject to change.”

From an email:

“We’re excited to announce that PopUp Bagels, the “Not Famous, but Known®” bagel shop, will open its first Washington D.C. store in Georgetown at 1078 Wisconsin Avenue NW on March 27.

PopUp Bagels has quickly become one of the most talked-about new bagel shops, with recent openings from coast to coast in Atlanta, LA, Nashville, and beyond. We’re so excited to have a presence here in DC with the same HOT, whole bagels and rotating schmears made to Grip, Rip and Dip®. The Georgetown location is the first of 20 locations planned across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, yet to come. (more…)

ICYMI: December 11, 2025 BIG BAGEL NEWS: Andy’s (Pizza) Getting in on the Game!!

“PopUp Bagels started as a backyard pickup window to share a newly created bagel recipe with friends. It’s now grown to multiple popup and permanent locations for always-fresh weekend pickup.

Our goal is simple: to make you the best, freshest bagels. No frills, plainly perfect: crispy crust and soft crumb center, just the right size and with a perfect proportion of seeds.

We’ve won Brooklyn Bagelfest “Best Bagel” two years in a row and we can’t wait for you to try a dozen.” (more…)


Ed. Note: Where is your current favorite spot for a solid Bacon Egg and Cheese?

Andy’s Pizza just killing us… until they expand bagel options at their DC locations :)

On Thursday we broke the news that Andy’s (Pizza) was getting in on the bagel game. Now Andy’s Pizza is getting in on the BEC game (see above.):
