BakeryAbout Call Your Mother Deli - Connecticut Ave
This cheerful deli builds its menu around the bagel, with hefty, flavor-packed sandwiches that reviewers call top-notch and reliably delicious. Standouts include the Jetski with corned beef, melty cheese, and fresh jalapeños, along with fan favorites like the Bacon Sun City, Royal Palm, and Thunderbird. Regulars also stock up on bagels by the half- and full-dozen, plus cream cheese and whitefish salad, and there are gluten-free options and good coffee to round things out. Sandwiches run large, so come hungry or plan to share.
The vibe is friendly and easygoing, with staff praised for exceptional, personable service. Online ordering is quick and dependable, with food often ready in about 20 minutes. Seating inside the Connecticut Avenue location is simple and limited, with metal stools, a communal table, and a few spots along the wall, so many guests opt for takeout. You can also catch Call Your Mother at the Silver Spring farmers market on Sundays, where the line moves fast and the energy is upbeat.
