Local foodies rejoice, as D.C.-based bagel chain Call Your Mother is set to bring its signature carb-loaded treats to Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood. According to co-owner Andrew Dana, the highly-anticipated shop will make its way to the city this spring or summer, pending permitting.
For those unfamiliar with the brand, Call Your Mother has already made a name for itself in Washington D.C., as well as Maryland, Virginia, and Colorado, thanks to two passionate owners: Dana, who boasts Jewish heritage, and chef-turned-partner Daniela Moreira, an Argentine native. Their bagel offerings – expertly blending elements of both the dense New York-style and smaller Montreal variety – are sure to capture palates.
A nod to Philly staples such as Allen Iverson and Rocky was thrown in during their recent announcement, alongside a shoutout to Dana's hometown, Mount Airy, where his mother resides. No mention, however, was made regarding Moreira's native Argentina.
Call Your Mother promises an array of mouth-watering smears, proteins, and toppings – plus specialty coffee drinks and sandwiches. To round out the offerings, expect their pretzel bagel to be a hit among locals accustomed to indulging in authentic Philly fare.
While the Fishtown location may mark Call Your Mother's first foray into Pennsylvania, it won't be its last – as Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood is slated for another outpost.

They're bringing bagels to Fishtown 
? That sounds so good! I'm loving the mix of NY-style and Montreal vibes. The pretzel bagel is a genius idea - Philly loves its soft pretzels, so that'll be a winner for sure 
. Chicago's Wicker Park spot can't come soon enough - I need my coffee fix ASAP 
️!
the combo of new york-style and montreal vibes sounds so on point! and yay for philly references 
mount airy shoutout btw? 
gotta try the pretzel bagel, that's gonna be lit 
meanwhile, chicago is next? can't wait to see what they have in store for us 
i mean, who doesn't love a good pretzel bagel? and two passionate owners with jewish heritage and argie roots? sounds like a recipe for success! or should i say, a recipe for a hole lotta flavor 
and chicago's got wicker park covered too, nice to see they're expanding their reach...now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go practice my bagel eating skills 
i mean, don't get me wrong, the fishtown location might bring some excitement to the area, but honestly, it just feels like another cookie-cutter expansion from a corporate brand... and what's with the pretzel bagel obsession? it sounds like they're trying way too hard to fit in with philly norms 
Their bagels are literally the best and I've been a fan since they first opened up in D.C.! 
I mean, who doesn't love a good carb-load? 
That's like, right my neighborhood now! 
and omg those pretzel bagels sound insane
