what a trip! My grandmas name was pearl, so I had to try! I brought in my little Ollie pup in his stroller & we got a bagel with some oli pop soda! I was glad to get a dope pearl sticker and showed the cool staff my Ollie tattoo ? great service, food and systems. Be sure to order in advance to help the staff as it’s by downtown and gets busy!
It’s a very cute place with good bagels.It would save some time if you order online because there are many ppl in the store and only few tables. I only have tried their raison cinnamon bagel with lox and scallions & chives spread. It’s really delicious and fresh. Only issue is too many ppl and the space is too small.
This place was packed and they still got my order out in less than 10 minutes. So efficient and delicious. The pictures don’t lie! I got the Pharmacy and you can tell they don’t skimp on ingredients. Impressive quality for the price around here.
Pearl's Bagels are excellent. The Everything bagel is my favorite in the D.C. area, with a perfect savory topping blend, delightful crispness, and an enviable texture profile (which maybe comes from the sourdough starter they use in their dough?). I'll come back to Pearl's again and again.
Good and stylish Bagel shop with little treats for dogs. Great cream cheese for the quick bagel-kit.
Fantastic experience! Beautiful shop with tasty bagels, sandwiches and bites. I ordered The Frenchie on an everything bagel. I’ll be back again soon!
Bagels were very tasty, I did notice they need to be better trained to roll them. Every bagel was rolled different and almost falling apart. It is easy to train employees to hand roll them to perfection. The 1st union in the US was actually Bagel shapers and they earned the equivalent of 75000 a year as masters of their craft. I wish you great luck.
Great bagels and coffee near the Walter Washington convention center. I was in town for a few days for a convention and stopped for breakfast every morning. I tried both the bagel egg and cheese sandwich with bacon and sausage. They were both excellent. They were also very filling. Definitely worth the price with how much they pack in the sandwiches. They only had one size of coffee. I would have preferred a larger size but at least the coffee was pretty good.
Massively overrated. While the bagels are good, Pearls' is a serial offender of the DC trend to sell $10 bagel sandwiches with ornate toppings and cutesy names. If you're going to shell out that much for a fancy bagel sandwich, you might as well spend your money at Call Your Mother.
Rarely do I find a bagel location where they make their own bagels daily on-site. This bagel shop has a terrific classic Lox bagel with high quality capers. Coffee is available in both hot and cold brews.Protip: Seating is very limited, so if you have multiple people in your group, have someone save a table outside while you order.
