Found myself in Adams Morgan this morning and stopped by to grab breakfast. I ordered a sesame bagel with the smoked sun dried tomato spread. Waited maybe five minutes, paid (cash only), and was on my way! The bagels are big and chewy, and taste amazing warm. The spread was very smoky and unique, and tasted great with the bagel. I will definitely go back for their egg bagel sandwiches... almost wanted to turn around and get another right now! read more

This mom and pop shop in admo is amazing. Made to order. Great prices on deli sandwiches. I got the corned beef to try and it was amazing. Best I've had in a long while. It beat out most restaurants in the area. Must try if you are in the area! read more

So's Your Mom is an Adams Morgan treasure! It's a no fuss, full of flavor sandwich shop with pastries, bagels, etc. At lunch or on weekends, there's a line out the door. Stay in line! It's worth it. Bring cash though. So's Your Mom only takes cash. read more

I come to this place every single day, the young men or a lady always helps me out and I loved coming here. Today however, the owner got attitude with me, started yelling at me and was extremely rude and mean, yelling as I am his little daughter or something. He did not apologized and just tried to kick me out of the place as he could not get my order right... I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN, HOW CAN YOU BE A BUSINESS OWNER AND TREAT YOUR REGULARS LIKE COMPLETE TRASH!!!!! I would give zero stars if possible. Terrible experience. I am all shaking. read more

My sugar bear took me here for lunch before work and I had a very tasty and hastily made sandwich. The vibes inside are reminiscent of my time in NYC when I lived in Queens so I loved the nostalgia. No frills just really fresh sandwiches and I'm Okay with that. They also have an impressive coffee bean selection. Definitely a spot to experience. read more

So's your mom is the best bagel in DC. My search is finally over. Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle. I got the ham egg and cheese with hot sauce on it (just ask for it and they'll add it). It was great. The service is nice. The place is small so I almost walked by it. FYI it''s cash only and it's definitely worth going to if you're in town. read more

Love coming to this place for a quick bagel sandwich that never fails. Awesome value for your money and friendly family operation

This is my favorite bagel sandwich place - the bagels are delicious and fresh, and you get a big portion for a really good price. I usually call ahead for speedy pick-up and reminder - cash only. read more

Love this Adams Morgan staple. Keep cash on hand because they don't take card. Only reason I'll bump off a star. Half the price and 100% of the quality of what the neighborhood has to offer. read more

This is one to my top 2 bagel places in DC. I've been a customer for a few years now. It's really hard to find a good lox and cream cheese bagel, but they've got it down! Great service, family-owned, and a legit deli. Knocked one star off because they need to start accepting credit. They're popular enough to support it - I know because I wait in long lines to grab my bagel every other week or so. read more

From someone who is a NYC semi-native, So's Your Mom is the bodega that keeps me coming back! Great prices, fresh bagels that evoke the ones I used to get at my corner bodega, and Italian subs that are full and don't impact your wallet too much. Tip: get your coffee beans from So's! They have self-service scooping and the pricing is cheaper than anything I have been able to find (not to mention quality of the beans). read more

Excellent! My favorite local DC bagel spot! Love the food, and the quick/friendly service!

Great customer service for a good meal any time. The workers are nice and bring forward delicious full flavors! Today I made the trip from northeast just to eat here and I'm glad I did! I will be back for sure! read more

Excellent bagels and cream cheese. Lots of fun sandwiches and baked items. Hours are til 4pm not 7.

I ordered a everything bagel with egg and cheese and it was pretty standard. In my opinion there was nothing special about my bagel, but I may have to come back to try the other bagels. Nothing out of this world, but no complaints either. read more

A local neighborhood deli that's been around for a while. A bagel with cream cheese is a little less than $4. Lots of sandwich options (both breakfast and lunch available). Perfect for a quick meal! read more

On a sunny lazy weekend afternoon grab your fave blanket beverage and book. Head over to So's Your Mom, a fantastic home town deli that's been a staple in AdMo for years, and pick up a delicious sandwich, bagel or salad. They use high-quality meats, cheeses and freshly baked bagels. I have never been disappointed. Then walk one block to Kalorama Park and plop yourself down to enjoy a relaxing picnic in the park. A great way to end your week before starting the weekday grind. Pro tip: cash only and call ahead to place your order read more

Love this place so much. Seems like a family business with dedicated staff. They're all wonderful and the food never disappoints. Support small business! Cash only. read more

My go to bagel sandwich. Their food is always incredible - I've been getting an everything bagel with lox almost every week for the past 6 months. When I call ahead, it's always ready for pickup immediately. And the owner/employees are always kind and generous. Couldn't recommend enough read more

The worst bacon egg and cheese bagel I ever bought guy was so rude rushing everybody didn't give me time look at the menu read more

So's Your Mom - Bacon egg and cheese bagel - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I love this place. Cash onl and incredible prices for DC. There's a menu on the chalkboard behind the counte, but you should probably just tell them exactly what you want because sometimes it seems like the menu is fake. Cheapest whitefish I've ever seen read more

This little deli/sandwich shop is cash only. It is like a little bodega in NYC tucked away in Adams Morgan neighborhood. We stopped in for breakfast and ordered two bagels with flavored cream cheese and two coffees for under 12 dollars. Great breakfast or lunch spot! read more

Found this place on yelp haha. They only take cash but the pricing is affordable. I got an everything bagel with egg and cheese for 4$. The egg was real egg and the bagel sandwich came out HOT. Came out in 5-7 minutes with no line. They had a ton of meat options along with it being a little convient store. The staff were dirent and didn't do small talk. Overall a good place to stop and grab a bite. read more

Good price! Got the Rueben sandwich for $10 and it's pretty good. Will definitely go again.

Love this spot for a quick and simple breakfast or lunch. The staff are great and make you feel very welcome, and the menu has a great selection with fair prices. They have everything from breakfast sandwiches to soups to baked goods. Just make sure you bring some cash! read more

This place would get 5 stars if they took credit. It's a tiny little mom and pop high end convenience store with breakfast and lunch sandwiches and coffee. The sandwiches are made to order and toasted if you want 'em toasted. Pretty high quality ingredients are used. (Boar's head) They have all your typical lovely eurotrash cookies and condiments, too. There's often a bench set up right outside, across the sidewalk from the beggars who like to stalk the people using the ATM right next door. read more

I like the name of this place because it's a really bad retort since it acknowledges the insult slung at you as true rather than saying it's false but does in fact apply to your mother. Let's look at an example: Person A: "You are a lying sack of crap!" Person B: "So's your mom!" As we can see, Person B is acknowledging that they are in fact a lying sack of crap but that this also applies to Person A's mother. Perhaps a better retort would be "I'm not but your mom is" or something to that effect. Anyways I digress. Great sandwiches, super fresh, great prices, and they have celery soda. One of the cashiers is cute too. I kinda wish I could sit down there but like so many of the better places I've been in DC it looks like they have to trade seating for quality in some sort of bizarre zero sum game. read more

I mean, they really don't know what they're doing with sandwiches, getting worse and worse, now they don't "mix meats". So when you go just get Turkey or just get ham, whatever! Been going here since '96, DONE WITH IT, JUNK! read more

So's Your Mom is a great little deli spot in Adams Morgan. It is nothing special to look at, part deli, part grocery store, part something else. Very small and tight which can be a problem because the place gets busy. Service was great, staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were effective while dealing with a busy place but also remained friendly and providing excellent customer service. Sandwiches are really good, I had the roast beef sandwich, both the bread and the meat were very fresh. It is a sandwich so not very hard to mess up on the making but they put all the pieces in the appropriate places. The portion size was also very generous for the price. Only downside is this is a cash only business but other than that, definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a sandwich spot that isn't Subway or Potbelly's. read more

So's Your Mom - Yeah I took a bite out of it - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Best iced coffee I've had in the city. Affordable and tasty. Bagels are kind of hit or miss depending on the day. If you get a fresh bagel and the person making them in the back is generous with the cream cheese, they're the best. If you come in the afternoon and there's a rush, the bagels are a little staler and sometimes under-cheesed (is that a word? I just made it one, I guess!) The BLTs are also great (add avocado for an extra $1.00, worth it) and the stuff on the shelves is fun. I like some of the french cookies. Cash only! ATM right outside. read more

So's Your Mom - Best iced coffee in the world. - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Ok seriously... Good bagel? Not a chance. It's essentially a grocery store bagel. Apparently people have never had a real bagel. The ordering and paying method is slow and inefficient, the bagels are bread with holes in them, the eggs etc appear to be cooked in a microwave (gross!), and the croissant was dry. read more

Nice place to grab a sandwich for a picnic at the Zoo! I created my own sandwich and the bread was so soft and the cheese/fillings tasted very fresh. The ordering process was very confusing for this newbie, but I eventually figured it out. read more

So's Your Mom - Cheese sub - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great breakfast sandwiches and other fun foods/snacks to grab from here! I usually grab an everything bagel with sausage, egg & cheese. Make sure you have cash on hand, as I believe it's cash only! read more

So's Your Mom is a lovey deli, and it's compactness will remind you of some of NYC's best haunts. Good iced coffee, solid breakfast sandwiches, decent grocery selection, and friendly service make this a great neighborhood spot. Be forewarned, it is cash only, BUT there are two Bank of America ATMs right next door. So's Your Mom is yet another reason you never have to leave Adams Morgan. I'm craving a bacon, egg, and cheese right now actually.... read more

CASH ONLY!!!! Cream cheese was so good (specifically scallion) but bagels were probably a 6/10. Wasn't terrible, wasn't my favorite. Would I go back? Yes. read more

I live around the corner from this staple. Great selection of sandwiches and bagels. Think chips; drink, and paper-wrapped sandwiches. In addition they have various picnic oriented offerings. Snacks. Wholesale coffee. It's a smart business. Prices are easy on the pockets. Cash only. Quick. Kurt but courteous. read more

Shrimp Salad on croissant. Or the chicken salad on sourdough. I can never decide. For breakfast it's easy -- bagels (Whatsabagel bagels). I do love the stuff on the shelves. I've never bought any of it (does anyone?) but it's fun to peruse. Fancy mustards, expensive cookies. Nutella. So Euro. I consider it part of the decor. This place cranks out good food. Take it south one block and eat it in the park. read more

Okay, I'll admit I partially checked this place out for the name (and the good Yelp reviews). I got lost trying to walk here from the zoo (it was not obvious on my map that Calvert Street and Connecticut Avenue are bridges that go OVER Beach Drive) and probably walked an extra mile or so. I think it was worth it though. I had a sesame bagel with lox cream cheese. It was good, but the amount of salmon in the cream cheese seemed stingy. I could barely taste it. Maybe I'm just extra picky because I'm from Seattle and we have awesome salmon here... but the smoked salmon shmear at Einstein Brothers (formerly Noah's) Bagels is way more flavorful. There's no indoor seating, but there's a small bench outside where you can eat. It was about 90 degrees outside and my cream cheese was melting. I had to eat fast so it wouldn't all drip out. Still, it was cheap and the bagel itself was very tasty. It was nice to stop at a place a bit "off the beaten path" after seeing all the museums and monuments for days on end. Good place to go if you want to feel like a local :) ~3.5 stars but I'm rounding it up to 4 because I did really enjoy that bagel. read more
