Call Your Mother Deli Debuts 'Saved By The Carbs' Fall Menu

BETHESDA, MD — Call Your Mother Deli, a bagel shop founded in the DMV, has deemed the fall season "Saved by the Carbs."

The bagel shop — which has a location in the Pike & Rose area of North Bethesda at 11807 Grand Park Ave. — launched its fall menu with nostalgic 90s theming on Tuesday. According to the business, the menu is inspired by fall flavors with a Call Your Mother twist. In other words, it will make for a "carbohydrate and caffeine-filled fall."

"School’s back in session! School stinks but this new menu rocks!" said owner Andrew Dana via a news release. "The vibes are cozy, the flavors are autumnal as hell. We’re back, baby!"

Bagel choices on the menu include the Cheesy Garlic Bread Bagel for $2.50, PLT (Pastrami, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a Challah Poppy Bagel) for $12.30, Meatball Bagel (with meatballs, honey marinara, fresh mozzarella and pesto on a Cheesy Garlic Bread Bagel) for $14.50, and PB&J with peanut butter, strawberry jam and a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel for $6.80. Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese is also an option on bagels. The newest baked good on the menu is the Carrot Cake Cookie for $4.

The bagel shop has bolstered its drink options with Apple Cider, Mulled Chai Cider, Salted Caramel Latte, Salted Caramel White Mocha Latte, Horchata Matcha Latte and The Basic B (pumpkin spice latte). Drinks are available hot or iced.

Call Your Mother Deli, founded by Daniela Moreira and Andrew Dana, started in farmers markets and opened its flagship location in DC's Park View neighborhood in 2018. It has since expanded to other parts of DC, Maryland, Virginia and even Denver.

The company's website says a Bethesda site and Annapolis locations are coming soon, with no further details listed. Fans of the bagel can also visit 4599 Van Buren St. in Riverdale Park.

The bagel shop's menu includes bagel sandwiches, bagels topped with spreads, latkes, baked goods, coffee and more. According to the restaurant's website, its bagels are a blend of New York-style and Montreal-style bagels.

Locations in Northern Virginia are Vienna, McLean, Old Town Alexandria, Crystal City and Reston. A Gainesville location will be the latest Northern Virginia opening, but a projected opening date is not yet available.
