Pumpernickels Deli

Great food! Employees are always helpful & smiling! The owner greets & speaks to the costumers! Added touch.

Had a great experience this morning! The staff was incredible. I was well taken care of for the entire experience, and they even went to get an ingredient they were out of so they could make my breakfast sandwich! I got free home fries for the wait which were absolutely incredible. Will continue to dine here :)

This is a real bagel place. Not sure why the reviews slant South of 4 stars.

I mean yeah, this is a hole-in-the-wall... It's not bougie. But if interior decorations draw you to an eatery, I'd say that you're actually looking for a showroom and not food.

If you're coming/visiting/moved from the NE, this is a solid joint to grab a bagel. The owner seems like a nice guy, the staff (bless them) have absolutely no personality... But this is DC, so keep expectations low on the locale's ability to make appropriate small talk. Most importantly, real food comes out of here. I'll keep coming back.

The food was good, the location was shabby and not well cleaned. The owner was there playing on the computer, while the floors could have been cleaned, tables wiped down, coffee area cleaned and leaves removed. The order taker was nice, which is why the score is what it is. Coffee was included in the price, which was nice. Put some attention into the physical plant and the customers will come.

Thank goodness the old owners are gone. Rob and his wife were absolutely terrible. I cringed every time my kids wanted to come her for a slice of pizza or bagel because I would have to see Rob. The new owners are a million times better. Slowly and steadily, pumpernickels has established itself as a neighborhood deli.
