Pearl's Bagels

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.

This place was hands down some of the best food I had while in DC. I got the Sandra D and the hot honey, cucumbers, tomatoes, spicy cream cheese and everything worked together so well. It was crunchy, thick, smooth and a veritable explosion of flavor! The sesame bagel is S tier for sure.

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.
