Ask D.C. residents about their opinion of the city’s bagel scene, and you’ll receive a slew of different responses. While some swear by trendy, top-rated spots like Call Your Mother, others prefer more affordable locations like So’s Your Mom and Bagels Etc. — which opt for little marketing and are strictly cash-only. If you’re still on the quest for the best bagel in D.C., PopUp Bagels may be worth a try this spring.
Founded in Westport, Connecticut in 2020, PopUp Bagels began as a tiny backyard pickup window before expanding to over a dozen permanent locations across the United States. Known for their fresh-out-the-oven bagels and inventive schmears, PopUp Bagels has quickly risen to fame (which is somewhat ironic alongside its tagline “not famous, but known”).
Each bagel is crafted with care, starting from carefully selected, quality ingredients all the way through a precise proofing and baking process that ensures the ultimate texture and flavor.
PopUp Bagels also works alongside leading brands, chefs, and culinary innovators to develop extraordinary schmears that transform the cream cheese experience with bold and unexpected flavors. And now, the Georgetown store is officially open to the public.
PopUp Bagels Georgetown is located at 1078 Wisconsin Ave NW. The store will has an evolving lineup of schmears to accompany their hot, fluffy bagels, including their current limited editon flavors of Cake Batter Cream Cheese and Hotel Butter.
