Call Your Mother, the Washington, D.C.-born bagel deli, is zeroing in on downtown Denver’s transit core, filing a building permit for a Union Station-area storefront at 1607 Wewatta St. If the shop moves forward, the pink-hued deli would become the chain’s fourth location in the Mile High City following its 2023 expansion. The company has not announced an opening date for the new spot.
Permit Points To Union Station Storefront
A recent building permit submitted to the city pegs Call Your Mother to a ground-floor retail unit inside the 1601 Wewatta office tower, according to What Now Denver. The filing lists the address as 1607 Wewatta St and notes that the bagel chain has not confirmed any timeline for opening.
From D.C. Roots To A Multi-Neighborhood Denver Footprint
The deli launched in 2018, founded by Daniela Moreira and Andrew Dana, and made its Denver debut in 2023 with locations on Tennyson Street plus outposts in Capitol Hill and Hilltop, according to Westword. Local coverage has tracked how quickly the brand staked out its Denver footprint, along with the long weekend lines its counters can draw.
Union Station Site Targets Commuter Traffic
1601 Wewatta is a modern Class-A office building with street-level retail in the heart of the Union Station district, putting a morning-focused deli within easy reach of commuters and downtown workers. The building’s leasing materials highlight active street-level storefronts, and Union Station serves as Denver’s primary multi-modal transit hub, per 1601 Wewatta and RTD-Denver.
What Diners Can Expect
Call Your Mother leans hard into carbs, with chewy-meets-sweet bagels, creative schmears, and stacked breakfast sandwiches that reviewers say work well for a grab-and-go downtown crowd, as described by Eater Denver. Axios has also called out the shop in national bagel roundups, helping fuel interest in its Denver entries.
The chain has yet to post an official announcement for a Union Station location, leaving the permit filing as the clearest public signal so far. Call Your Mother has taken on outside investment to support its growth, a move industry press suggests could accelerate new-store openings, according to QSR Magazine.
