I’m hearing some very tasty scuttlebutt that Bagels and Baguette could be coming to the former Bethesda Bagels space in Dupont Circle. I give this a 78% likelihood. (more…)

Thanks to Tricia for passing on the sad news from Call Your Mother:
“Working our hardest to get open ASAP.
Our overnight team (who are the best!), were jumped and robbed last night while loading the vans to disperse cream cheese and toppings to all the stores.
They are ok, but shaken up.”
Fortunately all locations open now, if you want to show them some extra love!

“Dear PoPville,
A sign was just posted announcing Pops Bagels is coming to Eckington near the Bouldering Project and Union Kitchen. Some light snooping led to me finding Grant Sarvis (founder of Poppy’s Stuffed Bagels) owns the @popsbagelsdc Instagram handle. Seems related to me!” (more…)
From Gemini: (1509 17th Street, NW):
“Hand-rolled, salt-boiled sourdough bagels! Coming at you this Sat 8/12 afternoon, served rip-and-dip style with your pick of labne cream cheese, hand-sliced smoked salmon, trout roe, summer tomatoes or Pantelleria capers. Choose your own adventure (more…)

Back in 2022 we learned that that Buffalo & Bergen would be coming to the former California Tortilla space. Happy to share that things are still moving forward. Last we heard they were hoping to open sometime in the Fall.

“Dear PoPville,
The guy in this photo is pretending to be a fire system inspector. In the middle of our busiest time at Pearl’s Bagels [Saturday} AM this man came in and told our manager that he was there to inspect our fire suppression system and update the tags on our vent hood. He had our manager call us, and when he got off the phone he lied to them and said that we had forgotten to let them know that he was coming, handed them 4 bills, and told them that Oliver said to just pay the bills via cash in the safe. They were busy and flustered and paid him without confirming that we’d said this. The bills totaled $947 dollars.
We realized it was a scam when they told us they’d paid him cash, and when we looked at the bill we realized it’s a phony company with a fake address.
DO NOT PAY THIS MAN ANY MONEY!!”

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to let you know that Mamma’s Bagels in Chevy Chase was extremely short-lived. They’re no longer making bagels. Not gonna lie, my boyfriend and I are really disappointed–they made an unpretentious and affordable bacon, egg, and cheese that had become a staple in our lives, and it’s absence will leave a void.”

On October 31st we shared the news that Buffalo & Bergen was coming to the old California Tortilla space. And I’ve been counting down the days ever since. I’m told that there is no hard opening date yet but will likely be Fall 2023.
STAY TUNED.
