We had heard so many amazing things about this deli that we had to try it. We were not disappointed and it exceeded our expectations. The service was prompt and friendly, the prices were excellent, the food portions were generous and the flavor was absolutely amazing. We opted for breakfast/brunch items this time but can’t wait to go back and try more of their items.
We had: 1. Deli Breakfast Sandwich with Baked Beef Bacon and a Runny Egg 2. Latke Bomb with a Runny Egg 3. Classic Lox 4. Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Cinnamon, Apple and Raisin Schmear 5. Coffee
Notes:
– Takeout only
– Sandwiches are all made to order. They were efficient, but this is not fast food. Instead it was really good food made fairly fast
This was such an amazing addition to Colonial Williamsburg and Duke of Gloucester area for both locals and tourists.

Great sandwich and bagel shop! Beware they put an insane amount of ham in their Ruben sandwich… You can easily make an extra if you have a bagel on the side…

The food was great and has the best bagels in the area! My husband’s sandwich was also really good and the pastrami melted in your mouth and the bread tasted fresh. We will be back!

I’d been waiting for this deli to open for some time and was finally afforded an opportunity to get a good sample of their offerings yesterday.
It’s a very charming lil place. When I arrived yesterday, just around 1230hrs, there was a line out the door. I was very happy to see that they seem to be enjoying a strong opening. The line moved along; everyone around me seemed to be taking it all in and we chatted amiably as we waited for our turns to order.
As is my tendency when trying a new dining experience, I ordered several items from the menu which I’m enjoying at home over a few days. I feel this is a good way to gauge the quality of the foods offered.
In short, I found everything that I brought home to be very, very well done.
– A Lox Onion bagel for breakfast today. Even after refrigerating overnight, the bagel maintained its firm crust and supple dough. Combined with the salmon, capers, onions and cream cheese schmear, it made for a great mouth feel and flavor combination.
– A 1lb, yes, POUND, Reuben on toasted rye. Another excellent choice with some of the best corned beef I’ve ever had; well seasoned and moist, so much so that the toasted rye didn’t stand a chance. Delicious. And enough for two nap-inducing meals.
– The Shiksa Italiano. The fresh ingredients each had excellent impact on the palate.
– Latkes w/applesauce. Two orders of three made for a nice side to the Reuben and Shiksa.
I look forward to to many future visits. The staff are warm and caring, the aromas delectable, and the offerings are a perfect, well-balanced number.

Amazing!! Samantha was so kind and generous we had to go two days in a row! Incredible bagels with eggs and bacon for us and my son could not stop talking about the fabulous pastrami on rye! He made everyone take a bite!! I can’t wait to eat my black and white cookie either Taking fresh bagels on the next stop of our trip… until we visit again! Definitely a must stop! Thank you Samantha, Ms. Victoria and Elena Keep doing what your doing!!

There is a new food contender in the City of Williamsburg. What brought me in was all of my co-workers raving about their sandwich’s. So you know I had to try for myself. Had the 8oz Pastrami on Rye and since I am a north east boy, had to grab a Poppy Seed Bagel. The sandwich was super good! Plenty of meat and the bread just melted in my mouth. The bagel was for later so I don’t have a review for it yet, but it felt soft, smelled good and looked like the real deal (will update when it hets shoveled in my mouth). If you are in Colonial Williamsburg go check it out yourself.

Pastrami was very flavorful, an 8 oz (smaller) was plentiful, even to split! The knish was good, outside crumbled but inside was packed with potato! Next time needs to be heated more. The bagels (6 diff kinds) were very good for size, fresh and good! No tables inside to sit, a grab n go food place. Hit all the yums, would return for the bagels, and the pastrami, next time I’ll try the latkes!

If you’re searching for the best bagels in Williamsburg, look no further than The Jewish Mother. This cozy, unassuming spot is everything you’d want from a classic deli—it’s the perfect hole-in-the-wall joint that feels like a well-kept secret, even as word quickly spreads about its greatness.
What truly sets The Jewish Mother apart are their bagels. As a former New Yorker, I know a real bagel when I taste one, and these are the real deal: crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Each bite took me straight back to the bagel shops of NYC, and that’s no easy feat outside the five boroughs.
But it doesn’t stop there. Their selection of cream cheese schmears is nothing short of impressive. From classic scallion and veggie to more adventurous options, there’s truly something for everyone. You could almost make a meal just by sampling the different spreads! Check out the cinnamon apple and raisin and get the cinnamon raisin bagel! Shout out Sam for this recommendation!!
The sandwiches here are equally fantastic—generous, fresh, and stacked high with quality ingredients. Whether you’re craving a classic lox and bagel or something heartier, you can’t go wrong.
I also have to give a special shoutout to the front of house staff. Every time I visit, they’re warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Now, I’ve seen a few people complain about the parking, and to that I’ll just say: It’s 2025—do your research! Williamsburg has plenty of parking options nearby if you take a moment to look. Don’t let something so minor keep you from experiencing one of the best spots in town.
In short, The Jewish Mother is a gem—great food, great people, great vibes. If you’re a bagel lover (or just a lover of good food), you owe it to yourself to check this place out!

I was super excited to try this place since the Williamsburg area needs a good deli in town but unfortunately it didnt hold up to my expectations.
My Wife and I order the roast beef sandwich no tomato and the Italiano. After receiving our food we walked to our car which is 30s from the shop and upon opening the roast beef sandwich it has tomato ( good thing im not allergic) , the bread was soggy around the edges,there wasn’t any caramelized onion that was supposed to be included on the sandwich, lettuce wilted ,and the quality of the roast beef was absolutely terrible. It smelled as if it was old or on the verge of spoiling,nor did it taste like beef. I could not finish it
The shiksas Italiano was slightly better with fresher ingredients but then they forgot to put the basil pesto on the sandwich so it was extremely dry.
For two sandwiches to be over $30 you have got to do better! This was my first and last visit unfortunately.

They were a little all over the place I get it because they just opened so no big deal cashier was very sweet But the hot pastrami sandwich on rye was the best sandwich I probably have had in a long time since leaving New York I get the sandwich 15 out of 10 And the latkes are very good too I can’t wait to go back
