More than 200,000 people bought Equity for Punks shares in the craft brewer but many now believe they are worthless.

Wild Bean Coffee has officially opened its doors at 1532 Rockville Pike, moving into the space previously occupied by UBREAKIFIX and located across the pike from Staples (preview video below).

The new cafe offers a wide-ranging menu that goes beyond standard coffee shop fare. Customers can choose from classic espresso drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, mochas, macchiatos, and cold brew, along with flavored options and seasonal-style specialties. Matcha is a major focus, with multiple matcha latte options available both hot and iced.

For those looking for something other than coffee, Wild Bean Coffee features a lineup of smoothies and wellness-style drinks made with fruits, greens, and customizable add-ins. The menu also includes smoothie bowls, with both build-your-own options and signature creations that allow guests to choose a base and top it with items like granola, fresh fruit, seeds, and drizzles.

Tea options and light grab-and-go items round out the menu, making the new Rockville spot an option for quick coffee runs, breakfast stops, or a more filling snack throughout the day. According to its website, Wild Bean Coffee will be open daily from 6am until 4pm.

In August, we shared that Call Your Mother Deli would be returning to Bethesda with a new, permanent downtown location at 4828 St. Elmo Ave. A $475,000 permit has now been issued for construction, signaling that work is set to begin. While an exact opening date has not been announced, an opening later this year is expected.

The space was most recently home to Hardwood Artisans and has also previously housed Design Within Reach and Johnny Rockets. Last year, Call Your Mother relocated its popular “Lil’ Deli” mobile trolley after roughly five years at the corner of Old Georgetown Road and Greentree Road to a new home in Riverdale in Prince George’s County.

Founded in 2016, Call Your Mother has built a loyal following for its signature wood-fired bagels, a hybrid of New York and Montreal styles. The menu features creative bagel sandwiches such as the fan-favorite Royal Palm with smoked salmon and the Sun City, known for its sweet and spicy kick. The new Bethesda location is expected to offer the full menu of bagels, sandwiches, coffee, and pastries that have helped make the brand a regional favorite.

In the meantime, Montgomery County residents can still visit the Call Your Mother location at Pike & Rose in North Bethesda.
