Call your friends and neighbors — and your mother — and let them know that Call Your Mother is expanding to Old Town.
The owners of 128 and 130 N. Pitt St. confirmed to Alexandria Living Magazine that the popular District-based bagel shop will be moving into 1,800 square feet on the ground floor of the building with an entrance at 130 N. Pitt St.
The building has been vacant since Helen Olivia Flowers relocated to Del Ray two years ago.
The bagel shop, which also sells coffee and sweets, describes itself as a “Jew-ish” deli and is the creation of chef Daniela Moreira and Andrew Dana, along with partner Jeff Zients. They started out at farmers' markets before opening their first location in DC’s Park View neighborhood in 2018.
The Old Town location will be the chain’s sixth shop and will join locations in Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Bethesda and North Bethesda.
The owners of the Pitt Street building have been converting the rest of the space into their private residence which will include 500 square feet on the ground floor and 2,400 square feet on the other floors. The residence also includes a new rooftop deck and will be accessed through the entrance at 128 N. Pitt St.

Call Your Mother is known for its unique bagel sandwiches, which range in price from $5.50 to $10 and includes vegetarian options and vegan cream cheese and spreads (note: the bagels themselves contain honey). The chain received national attention when President Joe Biden visited the Georgetown location four days after his inauguration.
An opening date for the location has not been set but work on the inside of the retail space is underway.
